Stupid thread is stupid. Josh, take this kind of shit somewhere else. JWFan is about sharing our passion for music and film with each other, not this crap.

OK I think this thread is ready and done.

As promised, here's my mockups of a couple of Azkaban alternates that weren't recorded/on the set

"... so I grabbed him by his neck and said 'JJ, you will not allow Michael to score MY trilogy!"

Well I finally received my replacement for the outer box today and in immaculate condition. It was wrapped in a mountain of bubble wrap so they were not taking any chances with it. My HP boxed set is finally complete!

"'Ow, my ears!!'. Williams reenacts hearing Dudamel's Star Wars main title for the first time"

BABY KOMRADES! JOHN WILLIAMS OR DEATH!!!!!!!

So what's the point you were trying to make with this? Do something controversial and then wag your finger at people who react, calling them unintelligent?

John Williams speaking at Dudamel's Walk of Fame ceremony right now: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=U8DWED8QE0A

He's doing the Superman pose! Superman expansion is on it's way now! LLL will have it delivered by Johnny himself, flying over Metropolis with a big bag of jewel cases!

Nice to see Johnny practicing his fighting techniques for his Episode IX cameo!

"That's what you get for messing up the TFA Main Title!... Damn, I missed his throat..."

They were missing 4 CDs worth of fantastic material?

williams looks very good both phisically and specially mentally, which is great at his age

I think JW is more interested in leaving a different kind of legacy than a bit of pavement, like the support of educational and performance facilities in LA and that Hollywood respects the musicians as well as the actors, filmmakers etc.

Mine is waiting for me at the post office. I'll pick it up after work. The thought of it makes me very horn(er)y. Karol

The real test of intelligence is determining why we never see Wilson's mouth on Home Improvement.

What a maroon. So it requires "intelligence" to guess that 26 beautiful women are in fact MTF trannies and have been their entire lives, including the exquisite Marilyn Monroe, who was reported to have died in 1962? No wonder people were PM'ing you. The guess was too offensive to offer in polite company. It's the kind of thing you would guess while drunk: these women are just so beautiful, they must have been born with balls, and then surgically altered to become beautiful women. GTFO. What a little attention WHORE.

Atheism is for people with no hope

Atheism isn't socially progressive, its just common sense.

I don't have the exact date.

Citius! Altius! Fortius! - The John Williams Story

Memoirs of a Geisha by John Williams Sayuri's theme is a very beautiful centre piece for the score. As a whole, however, it's not quite my style and is not one of my favourites, but I still can like it to a fair degree. Coco by Michael Giacchino Maybe I'm just tired, but I almost fell asleep. I'm probably tired, yes. But this score didn't make it any easier! It has a very Hispanic influence and uses the guitarron as one of the main instruments. Not too interesting.

The Favourite Having only seen his last three films, this is the first Lanthimos work that really clicks from beginning to end. Oozing in wit, the director finally reaches beyond simply emulating Kubrick-ian aesthetics and more generously embraces to his satirical sensibilities. Everything is deliciously staged, in camera, dialogue and performances. And while Weisz is fantastic, Coleman is the real star. Might be the best I've seen of its year.

Recently got my first scoring gig for an Indie WWII game on steam called Warfare 1944 (Not to be mistaken for the flashgame). It's got a bit of williams, korngold, and some michael kamen style mixed in. I'm working on some more tracks but this is the main theme

I’ve had that name here on the board for 10+ years... so.... . . . . . . . Yes! Of course! It’s all been an elaborate scheme, biding my time untill Inky got a defective delivery... It was a long wait, but it sure was worth it!

Empire of the Sun Two listens in two days. There's no other way to put it: a masterpiece for a masterpiece. Disc 2 happens to feature most or all of the key moods, themes and settings of the score, so it makes for a great shortened album if you have less than an hour but want to listen anyway! I'm the slightest bit miffed about the different solo take of Suo Gan (when Jim salutes the pilots) and the 3-second gorgeous harp run lead-in to Cadillac not being included, but only because I hear them in the film and like them, not because the LLL set is not perfect as it is or feels like it's missing something. Titus is the man, and Mike goes deeper than usual into the score's concept than usual - though in this case, there definitely is a lot to go into deeply. I'll now isolate it to picture to see for myself what works how - not sure if I should share and present it in the iso score thread, wouldn't parts of it ruin the whole concept?

I don't wanna hear any more about Obi-Josh...

Dubious ones. Others guessed right before me. This whole thread should be erased, and quickly.

Oops I forgot Oh well .perhaps it should have. It certainly was among the best films that year

Don't we have a rich JWFan member who could fork out for the whole thing?

When was Brad Pitt involved with Marilyn Monroe?

The hilarious awkwardness of the Academy over-nominating Black Panther to not seem racist, yet by doing so have shown they are.

All I hear are variations on the Chamber theme and its arpeggio accompaniment figure but I guess there is that small section which repeats in all three examples.

They are all part of Josh500's intelligence test.
