so is the 2cd set gonna happen before the release of the second movie and score, let alone at all?

back to the subject of the thread...

the lack of respect for Spielberg on this thread staggers me!

i want it to be like the double disc releases of the original trilogy

stan winston is solely live action. and could you please further elabortate on this fx stuff, because i thought the visual effects in Spiderman were sooooo fake-looking, and it doens't even compare to episode 2, not by a long shot.

i feel the same way Roald. well said.

good idea

i don't want to beat this to death, but i have one more thing to say, and that is about the broad issue. both star wars and spiderman are considered action films moreorless. and in my opinion, attack of the clones excelled there. the chase at the beginning was sensational, truly masterful. and the final half hour was completely exhilirating, esp. the Yoda part. those light saber duels were terrific. Maybe it's just me, but i thought the action in Spiderman was so weak. i didn't find any of it exhilirating at all. Spiderman was flying around so fast and moved so qucikly that he just came off as a cartoon. superheroes should have very human flaws when in costume, and they do, but spiderman effortlessly soars all over the place, easily beating up baddies left and right and very quickly too. that's what i meant about the conflict. there's no point to it all. i think the action was very very lackluster and AOTC only makes it look worse i think. i think that is overall how AOTC excels far beyond Spiderman, since their love stories are on a close level

and i too understand where you're coming from. the AOTC love angle was a huge weakness. but it had to happen really. maybe it didn't have to take itself so serioussly, but it did have to happen. and although Padme's character is paper-thin, i think Anakin and Obi-Wan are very interesting characters. and i cannot wait to see how Christopher Lee is gonna be in episode 3 because i think he added so much to AOTC, a movie that is different from Spiderman because of it's lack of definition. this lack of definition doens't make it bad. that's the way it's supposed to be. nothing is clear cut in this movie, at least until the end, even some characters, like Tyranus. the love angle in Spiderman just came off like one of those teen movies. i think it's just as cliched as AOTC's love story. i think it was just as flat

one more thing: i don't think Spiderman comes anywhere near Attack of the Clones either. Lucas may not be the best at writing dialogue, but he can tell a damn good story, and AOTC is better than so much else that is out there.

this Spiderman obsession is truly beyond me. it's sweeping the nation and i just don't see it. the movie is mediocre at best. everything about it is standard and unoriginal. it has some of the most one-dimensional characters i've ever seen in a movie, and i just found it to drag way too much. there was nothing new and fresh about it, just tobey maguire soaring between buildings. and the villain, the mean green goblin, was inexcusably horrible. i must have laughed at every time he was on the screen. everything about this movie seemed taped on to me, and there was no sense of urgency or conflict. to me, it doesn't come anywhere near Batman. but that's jsut me Ted

sorry about that. i posted it three times. my mistake

what about the Trumpet Concerto and the Essay for Strings? i haven't heard them, or the basoon concerto. are they worth it? i like the other three concetos that i have, cello, violin and tuba. also, does anyone have any info on the two symphonies he's written? i've read numerous times at numberous places that he has written two symphonies. any info anyone? Ted

i'm glad not everyone is ripping him apart. Ted- who likes both Goldsmith and Zimmer

why do so many people have a problem with Goldsmith? i think he is an amazing composer

wow. i really cannot wait for this score. it sounds like it's going to be very rhythmic and different for Williams. Spielberg's comments were definitely interesting, especially the "feeling the score more than hearing it" bit. i'm very excited for it!

i am feeling worse and worse reading all these threads about people meeting him after the concert. i didn't think it was possible and now i feel very jealous as i too am as big a fan as anyone else on this board. i hope it was for you as it would have been for me. you are very lucky

i was at the one on the 28th, and with some minor alterations of the cake presenter and a few other Star Wars characters, it was pretty much identical. unsurprisingly, i feel the exact same way you did. it was an utterly amazing experience.

sorry about that... his last concert is on saturday night and will be the last. same program as friday night's, which is different than first two concerts, one of which i went to. let mek now if you need more info

his final concert is on friday. i have the program if you want more info

i am very unfamiliar with all these computer programs. i know only the basics. if you could give me a few more examples of a compression program it would be much appreciated. thanks

i think you make a ver good point. i have seen Attack of the Clones and Phantom Menace several times, however i haven't noticed it. after i read your words i watched that scene on the Phantom Menace dvd and saw what you're talking about, and i may go see Attack of the Clones later on tonight and will definitely look for it. what you're saying thought makes a whole lot of sense to me. i'm not going out on a limb and saying i think you're right, but it sure is thought-provoking. i think that there is going to be a lot revealed about this subject in Episode III. what i have always found troubling is how the Sand People kept her alive. they aren't like that. there was no reason to take her, torture her, and keep her alive. i think there is something else behind it all, and i do believe Anakin will find out in the third one. either way, you make a very good point.

and what would work if i cannot find winzip or winrar?
