Curb your enthusiasm is so good.

He probably sent in his rejected demos from No Time To Die, and nobody noticed.

Of course movies have mothers! We call them 'directors'.
And yet, when a film score sucks, it's never the composer's fault because movies are "a collaborative effort".

Star Wars sucks.

Dark Phoenix is okay if you don't consider it, well ... music.

Why does his nose look like Inspector Clouseau's melting fake nose in The Pink Panther Strikes Again?

Isn't Henry Jackman the guy who wrote the one bad X-Men score?

A true film score fan loves every film score, no matter how shitty it is.
A true film score fan will play a score at home, turn it off with disgust after 5 minutes, be depressed about the state of the industry for another 5 minutes, then go on JWFan to write "it's decent, it works in the film, might have to give it another listen to get it", and be mad at someone who says he doesn't like it.

Well, if he really is responsible for the lack of thematic continuity in Harry Potter, and not just the studio heads failing to pay for the rights to use his themes, then I'm certainly not a fan of that mindset. I get why he'd be pissed about composers plagiarizing his orchestrations, but not allowing them to just use his themes seems a bit over-protective.
He may not be convinced the composer can do his music justice.
And neither would I, if I looked at Nicholas Hooper.

Sounds like Williams doesn't want any other composer to use his themes with similar/same orchestration in sequel scores without him, Williams, being involved or approving it.
This may also explain Jurassic Park 3, where he collaborated with Don Davis, and every subsequent Harry Potter score not using Williams themes much except for a token appearance or two.
And Indiana Jones V.
Anyway, admirable, JW at his age preserving his legacy.
May be a good indication that JW is aware of modern film music and doesn't want that dreck near him.

If JW was perturbed having not been asked to do Rogue One, I'm positive he was hired for Indy 5 to not have a Rogue One situation again.
And JW allegedly almost quitting Episode IX because JJ was coming back brings warmth to my heart.
No wonder that one turned out so anonymously.

Was probably the last project of this gravity the industry will ever see.

I do. From 40 years ago.

The Rogue One stories are indeed true. Same thing happened back on Shadows of the Empire, although in that case it was too late to change anything. Rogue One, on the other hand, had to be largely rewritten.Was Williams happier after the rewrites?

I'm stunned such a lame pun is too much for some people.

I remember walking out of the theater as a 9 year old in 1997 wondering why Williams score to aJurassic Park sequel felt so different. Where was the “predator/raptor” motif? Where’s the wondrous/frightening choir work? Why not use the established themes more?
Up to that point (again as a 9 year old) I felt like John Williams generally kept the same sound/colors/themes for sequel scores and simply added to those musical tapestries.
But the Lost World (and I’d also add Prisoner of Azkaban) show he’s not afraid to shift gears in the middle of a franchise.
Were you initially disappointed in Williams follow up to Jurassic Park? Are you still? Has the expansion of TLW score changed your opinion?
You wondered about a Raptor Motif as a 9-year old?
As a 9-year old, I just wanted more f*cking dinosaurs.

Shin Godzilla is 70% fantastic. The other 30% are borderline unwatchable.

I've read people calling the score to Falcon and The Winter Soldier "as good as film music gets".
Legit question, are people getting legit dumber by the year?

"Snyderverse" is a horrifying prospect.
It's depressing enough to know these films exist, but actually watching "Snyderverse" would require prophylactic Xanax.

That's sheer and utter bullshit.
Most people fail in life because they set the goals for themselves too high to start with, and then set themselves up for frustration because they always see what they don't have, instead of what they could have.
If people focused on making the most out of their situation at any given time, they'd have the feeling of success, and the motivation to move further.
But the truth is that people are being trained to receive instant satisfaction, and collapse at the prospect of having to work really hard for a goal, and dealing with failure. If your goal is for example to be great with attracting women, and getting your perfect wife, you need to go out constantly, talk, socialize, get rejected a few hundred times, learn social skills, how to talk etc. But it's just easier to download an app and swipe right. Bam, I'm awesome!
Society in 2021 and real life don't match.
