While I am a big fan of the originals, I personally don't have an issue with the remasters. (And correct me if I'm wrong, but those are not Al Williamson are they? Wasn't Star Wars drawn by Howard Chaykin?) I kind of like the original wonky colors, but I think the new ones look pretty good for an update. The original line art seems to be well preserved even if not particularly well matched to the updated color style. I do have a Dark Horse reprinting that is not the stupid Special Edition version, but does have updated colors, though not nearly this drastic. I honestly think the art of Empire and Jedi will fair even better with the new remastered colors than Star Wars.

Pieter, I was just wondering the same. After his glowing praise of John Carter (which I also loved) I'd be very interested to read that review as well. Thanks for the review, Blume.

An Unexpected Journey SPOILERS ALLOWED Discussion Thread
sandman609 replied to Jay's topic in Tolkien Central
I suppose I'm the only person on the planet who actually really enjoyed King Kong and was never bothered by the pacing. I've even watched it since then and still found it quite enjoyable.- 1,393 replies

Howard Shore's An Unexpected Journey (Hobbit Part 1)
sandman609 replied to Jay's topic in Tolkien Central
Funny you say that. I turned on the Hobbit this morning in the car, and my 2 yr old son though it was The Land Before Time ("Dinosaurs! Dinosaurs!")- 4,548 replies

The Amazing Spider-Man (2012 Reboot film)
sandman609 replied to Trent B's topic in General Discussion
Haha, when I heard the line "I have to stop him, because I created him" my immediate thought was Mark Zuckerberg! -
I'm actually quite impressed with the directions I'm hearing for this one thus far. It sounds like they're trying to break out some from the "franchise film" mentality and treat this like a quality project. Hoping that pays off!

Star Wars Prequel Music Resource (part 2)
sandman609 replied to John Crichton's topic in JOHN WILLIAMS
Unfortunately, it looks like I'm going to be sitting out editing on these... Megaupload's untimely demise put a quick end to it as I was downloading pieces as needed. -
Star Wars Prequel Music Resource (part 2)
sandman609 replied to John Crichton's topic in JOHN WILLIAMS
Bounty Hunter file 49: "File needs to be pitched up to match TOR files." So about how much of a pitch shift are we talking here? I seem to be having a difficult time smoothing this one out... (also, are the Force Unleashed 2 rips supposed to be mono? Some of those are importing very strangely...) -
Star Wars Prequel Music Resource (part 2)
sandman609 replied to John Crichton's topic in JOHN WILLIAMS
I guess aside from the ones that can be pieced together from only the new material, I'll just have to lurk around and see what sort of finished edits others can come up with. Lesson learned and I'll be hanging on to the TOR files at least for the next time. edit: Whoa! Never mind. Just checked PM's. Thank you! -
Star Wars Prequel Music Resource (part 2)
sandman609 replied to John Crichton's topic in JOHN WILLIAMS
I'm still looking for a way to acquire all of the rips to start work on this again. I pulled stuff from the old FTP site the first time around, and have since lost all of those. Now all I can find anywhere are the game OST's. -
Star Wars Prequel Music Resource (part 2)
sandman609 replied to John Crichton's topic in JOHN WILLIAMS
Listening to that strangely made me want to hear 8-bit Final Fantasy style reconstructions of the whole score! -
Star Wars Prequel Music Resource (part 2)
sandman609 replied to John Crichton's topic in JOHN WILLIAMS
Haha, so this game rip is going to supersede the actual OST's? For some reason that just struck me as amusing. -

That's true. Didn't think about that. -
Star Wars Prequel Music Resource (part 2)
sandman609 replied to John Crichton's topic in JOHN WILLIAMS
So it's about 130 more files? Hopefully not all original TOR music... -

sandman609 replied to John Crichton's topic in JOHN WILLIAMS
Well, that seems totally.... normal? -
Well this is... surprising. They definitely could have done worse. I was looking forward to more Arnold, but still looking forward to how this turns out.

Star Wars Prequel Music Resource (part 2)
sandman609 replied to John Crichton's topic in JOHN WILLIAMS
Man, I seriously wish I still had all of my old game rips to work just start this whole thing from scratch. Is there anywhere that these are still available? (sorry if this is not allowed to be discussed openly? not sure the rule on game rips... please edit as necessary, jason) -
The Music of Star Wars: The Old Republic
sandman609 replied to MissPadmé's topic in General Discussion
I can't seem to find the files anywhere, and wouldn't be nearly as helpful as it seems you guys are. But still, this is fascinating just to sit back and watch! I'm looking forward to dusting off Audition and getting back to some editing again once all of these goodies get sorted out! -
I believe I read somewhere that it was actually intended to be a ripoff of the Psycho theme (appropriate, given the theme's use in the game). Has always been one of my favorite Uematsu tracks. (voted for the orchestra arrangement, btw!)
-
There really were some very well done effects. Effects of the "if you don't notice them, we've done our job right" variety. The best kind, really.

The James Bond Theme turned into something quite sinister! The guitar makes some very interesting sustained sounds played that slow.

Harry Potter And The Deathly Hallows Part 1 by Alexandre Desplat
sandman609 replied to Josh500's topic in General Discussion
The Amazon listing has now been updated with a product description: Vinyl? And it doesn't seem to mention "complete" anywhere in that... strange description it seems to me. It looks more like a regular OST and 'More music from' packaged together. -
Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's (Philosopher's) Stone
sandman609 replied to Datameister's topic in JOHN WILLIAMS
There's a lossless FLAC version? I've only heard about the 320kps version. That's pretty amazing. I'd like to try editing the cues together as intended. I was wondering, which ones were meant to be mixed (aside from the obvious quidditch cues)? -
So... after coming across a disc today with these suites on them I decided on a whim to look for this topic. Sadly, no news for quite some time. I really enjoyed these suites and was looking forward to the OT versions but alas... apparently it was not to be. I guess we should pretty much consider this project finished? If so, thanks again for all the hard work in creating the ones that we have. I'll still enjoy those!
