[HOOK (1991) - NEW! 2023 3-CD Ultimate Edition Produced, Edited, and Mastered by Mike Matessino featuring all Williams/Bricusse songs]

I appreciate the minimalism of the new cover, but the cover of the previous LLL edition is one of my favorite film posters ever, so... I'm partial to it.

No no, they’re The Phantom Menace and Attack of the Clones!

Well, I vastly prefer Nixon and The Patriot than the 2 prequel scores.

That is about 12 Euros more than if you buy it from La La Land itself 

Oh, really? I thought it would be much cheaper ordering from LLL.

But I wouldn't risk it paying at customs. (and the broken cases I usually get from LLL)

73,95 euros at music box records (incl. shipping) for one release! Ouch!

[Omni Music Publishing Updates]

I have never heard this, mainly because I can't stand Will Ferrell and so I haven't watched the film.

How is the score?

[Different versions of the same work?]

I'm with @Thor on this. I don't want to have multiple versions of the same work.

I'm fine with one that I would be pleased.

(and that's why I don't like re-recordings of film scores. Even if they have better sound)

[Mike Matessino: "At least 5" new Williams releases due this year]

I know we just got HOOK and I should be grateful, but it's disheartening to think that there might be no Williams in the pipeline for quite some time now...

[Williams Scores Worth a 3 CD Set (like A.I., HP1, Superman and Hook)]

Nixon? I don't know.

Maybe there is enough music (including alternates, unused) for a 3-CD set.

How much is it missing?

I don't know but I'm sure it's missing a lot since it is a mini series. It could easily take 3 cds or more. 

[HOOK (1991) - NEW! 2023 3-CD Ultimate Edition Produced, Edited, and Mastered by Mike Matessino featuring all Williams/Bricusse songs]

I'm also curious about childhood. Is the accompaniment originally written by Williams? Or is it like a fan made version?

[What are your non-Williams film score holy grails now?]

The one I could think of now, that would be a holy grail for me, is Jarre's Jesus of Nazareth complete.

[HOOK (1991) - NEW! 2023 3-CD Ultimate Edition Produced, Edited, and Mastered by Mike Matessino featuring all Williams/Bricusse songs]

I suppose it's safe to sell the older LLL HOOK now, right?

This new release seems loaded!

[HOOK (1991) - NEW! 2023 3-CD Ultimate Edition Produced, Edited, and Mastered by Mike Matessino featuring all Williams/Bricusse songs]

Very surprised about this! Didn't expect it!

My 2nd favorite Williams score after E.T.

 

Who's singing Childhood?

Is it like a fan-made version or Williams did write this exactly as presented here? (I mean the accompaniment)

JW release confirmed!?!?

Hopefully it’s not in reference to the 20-disc set 

I wonder if such a statement was done last year...

Watched Spielberg's Duel earlier today for the first time. It was pretty good actually, I can see how it helped to launch his career.

Theatrical cut or television cut?

I've only watched the former.

What makes Nixon Intrada?

The fact that it's a Disney film.

[Ridley Scott's NAPOLEON (Martin Phipps, 2023)]

I liked the melodic stuff, but not the "action" cues..

Fingers crossed for The Patriot!

I'd prefer Nixon, but The Patriot would be alright too I guess.

Same. The Boy and the Heron will probably be my last trip to the multiplex this year.

I hope it comes to Greece too. It would be the first time I'd watch an anime at the cinema.

No, I am not! hehe

I am only interested in the new Ghibli film.

Relistened to one of my favourite Doyles today, and was, again, moved by this track, featuring vocals by Doyle's son. (This track is actually 'She was a Real Lion', but it has been incorrectly titled.)

 

 

Thanks for bringing my attention to this.

Never every heard it. I'll look for it.

It has now been revealed that the DNRed 4K of T2 was a mistake.  They accidentally put the version that was DNRed to turn into a 3D version on disc, instead of the intended version.  A new edition is forthcoming.  See here.

Yes, I have seen that but....

Quote

With respect to Bill Hunt, he has been claiming for years that the T2 disc is wrong based solely on that title card, which ignores the numerous interviews Cameron did where Cameron specifically stated that he wanted T2 to look the way it would if he had shot it digitally today, and that’s what it looks like.

[The La-La Land Black Friday 2023 thread]

Besides the Williams release which is mandatory for me, I would love if A Streetcar named Desire was included just to follow with the Omni music published score.

Apparently it is indeed due to youtube's compression algorithm, as the uncompressed original 2gb file has grain.

Thanks. Where did you find this?

Is it OK to share it in another forum?
