MM stays awake each night furiously working on the Star Wars prequel expansions.

Just got mine in the mail. It sucks

I try to imagine what it must be like to order from LLL if you're someone who doesn't visit FSM or JWFan daily. I think I'd be a pissed off customer a lot of the time.

SHIPPING UPDATE: We are starting to ship out the following cds: HARRY POTTER BOX WORLD IS NOT ENOUGH SCHINDLER'S LIST We should have Land of the Giants in stock on Monday...Tuesday the latest. There was a manufacturing delay on Dracula, but we are told we should have product in hand no later than Wednesday or Thursday of Next week (Dec 12/13) Please be patient with us. We aren't amazon and we let our employees sleep and use the bathroom...occasionly.

Status was just updated to “Awaiting envelope-licking”

I’m here all hyped, using all my phone battery to check for shipping updates, and they’re throwing a party? If only there was a way to transform excitement into electrical power. Wait, what

And it will also be available in video soon Highlights were Valerian, ghost writer and Harry Potter. Shape of water was nice. The other stuff was ok. But the orchestra was great and so was the venue. It was the first time I was in choir seats and I loved seing the conductor face during the concert ! Desplat is a nice conductor I would say. Calm but meticulous and vigorous when needed. I go back on Saturday for a concert (also directed by Desplat) with my girlfriend. This time It will only be about film music. I hope he will include Godzilla and imitation game. Vidéo recording will be here: https://www.arte.tv/fr/videos/080586-024-A/alexandre-desplat-dirige-l-orchestre-national-de-france/

Black Widow has changed her haircut again!

Ooof. Very true my friend. My condolences.

Its going to be a loooooong weekend of memes

Time for us to burst into the homes of all the sleeping LLL employees. “Wakey wakey, motherfuckers, time to ship!” while banging wooden spoons on pans.

To keep us in suspense. Unpredictability is their strongest asset.

Not late or hard enough. Still no shipping notice here.

MM on FSM last night:

Mine already departed Santa Clarita, CA last night. Which I believe means it goes on a plane straight to me, so I may have it really early, I hope..!

Does @Bespin know about this?

I'm only about 50 orders after the last confirmed shipped.... this has to happen today!

Monsieur starting to remind me of character actor Larry Hankin

The insolence! We are starving for some complete Harry Potter music experience here and they are gallivanting in some Christmas party! Stop partying and pack and ship those Harry Potter boxes! Mush! Mush!

Holy poop I'd love to hear a 12 minute suite of Valerian music live, that sounds incroyable!

There is another Williams related nomination on the classical side. The Dallas Winds engineers were nominated for their John Williams album. Best Engineered Album, Classical An Engineer's Award. (Artist names appear in parentheses.)

Jones & Santa Fe Opera Orchestra) BEETHOVEN: SYMPHONY NO. 3; STRAUSS: HORN CONCERTO NO. 1 Mark Donahue, engineer; Mark Donahue, mastering engineer (Manfred Honeck & Pittsburgh Symphony Orchestra) JOHN WILLIAMS AT THE MOVIES Keith O.

Yep they're not even open yet. Give 'em 10 mins Edit: Excuse the brain fart there. Got my timezones mixed up. Coming up to noon in LA, right?

Silvestri better bring his A-game to this one.

Yeah. Anyone vaguely fimilar with Marvel Studios' output knows they don't kill off characters if they can help it. Plus, by the time Spiderman turned to dust, Spiderman 2 already had a title! I'm also pretty sure you can't have Guardians of the Galaxy 3 with just Rocket. Its just too little, too late. If Marvel had set a grittier aesthetic and storytelling with the entirety of Phase 3, I might buy into it more. As it is, we've been so saturated in this low-stakes storytelling mode, that any character death - which would be par for the course in any other series - blows our mind.

So John Powell actually got TWO Grammy nominations. As discussed over on the Williams subforum, "Mine Mission" is nominated for Best Instrumental Composition. But I'm much more happy to see that he also got a nomination for the Ferdinand score! "Madrid Finale" is nominated for Best Arrangement, Instrumental or A Cappella

And I think I know why, too. That's because it's not one person doing all the packing. Obviously, duh. It's 20 guys and girls, or 30, or maybe even more, and each one probably gets their share. One guy does orders 1-50, the next guy 50-100, and so on. That's my theory anyway! Well, they already took our money.... They're in a party mood. 😂 Congrats! You might have been the very first.

Didn't you order it within the first few minutes? I wouldn't worry. I just got a shipping notice too... And I ordered it with 30 minutes delay!

Even though I'm not into more classical music, I trully enjoyed some movements from this piece EDIT : I managed to embed the video here

LLL just posted some images on their FB page; apparently they're having a Christmas party right now. They should be shipping our packages!!

The moon episode is good. What's so bad about it? Matt Smith's seasons generally sucked and he looked like Tarkin at the end of Episode III. They were still better than this season, though. I'd rather watch any of the old seasons. I'm sure they at least have some eye candy. Season 8 is nearly perfect and 9 despite its shortcomings still featured the best pairing of Doctor and assistant I've seen.

Shipped an hour ago! YAYYYYY!! Thank you Mr. Employee 3 ❤️ Allows 11 business days to arrive in Australia before Christmas. Fingers crossed

SHIPPED!!! Thank you employee3

It should sound the same, right? There has not been any remastering on this release...

The concert can be heard here: https://www.francemusique.fr/emissions/le-concert-du-soir/au-dela-de-l-image-alexandre-desplat-66940

Can someone, anyone, please tell… Nope. I'm joking but it annoys me so much. It's like those mandatory but lazy establishing shots you get in every movie. Oh the movie takes place in Paris ! Quick! Eiffel tower shot / Rooftops of french haussmannian buildings / Accordion cliché. At some point, I was expecting Dumbledore and Newt to sit at a café, ordering fine wine, baguette and camembert…

even if they ship I'm not expecting this before Christmas

At that point, you could just take your copy and leave!

For all my whining, I got my shipping email at what would have been a few minutes past midnight in California. I guess they worked their butts off late.

Also just found out on the news that the USPS will be open on Sunday as well for the rest of the month, so if LLL is open on Sundays they would still be able to ship packages tomorrow as well.

It's possible almost all of our orders were already shipped; keep in mind that it would take a while for presumably one, or even a handful of employees, to send notifications and update tracking numbers. After all there were quite a bit of orders for them to get through.

Shipped!

I know how to move a camera! I can do up! Down! If I'm feelin' frisky, even diagonal. Where's my major Hollywood salary??

I'm very interested in digital releases. But it's clearly extra legal hassle that wouldn't be worth the money, if it would be possible at all.

I downloaded a bootleg copy of this movie. The quality is terrible. I can only see a little silhouette of a man.

Silvestri’s Avengers theme performed by mariachi band!
