Loert got a reaction from Andy in Temple of Doom is celebrating 40 years in 2024
My favourite Indiana Jones film and my favourite JW score. I will for sure be re-watching it. But my ultimate dream is to see it in a Live to Projection concert. Though unfortunately the people who organize LtP concerts probably already took one look at the score and said: "No way!"

Loert reacted to Datameister in The Ol' College Try
Cutthroat Island comes to mind. It's got some great themes, and it's beautifully recorded, but it's just. Too. Much. You've got thickly layered fortissimo strings, brass, winds, percussion, and choir up the wazoo—and that's just the first cue! I enjoy individual tracks but I absolutely cannot enjoy the whole album, despite years of trying.
I was really lukewarm on Star Trek TMP for a long time, but I finally "got" that score eventually.

Worst idea ever to make a musical about a soundtrack specialty label.

Loert got a reaction from Schilkeman in The Ol' College Try
I adore A.I., but I made myself a 51-minute mix and listen to that. Don't think I can sit through the entire score and get the same enjoyment.
In terms of (supposedly) great scores, I struggle with LotR, Conan the Barbarian, and La La Land. I will say no more.

Loert reacted to JWScores in The Ol' College Try
Lincoln, most of the LOTR scores (except for The Fellowship of the Ring), Back to the Future, Dances with Wolves, and surely many more.
AI is one of my very favourite scores, certainly in my JW top-10, but I also prefer to listen to it in the form of "suites" compiled by myself, rather than the whole C&C score (I'm very glad I have it, though, so I can choose).

The OST is missing the JW/Strauss cue. Unforgivable.

Loert reacted to Tom Guernsey in What is the last piece of classical music you listened to?
One of those British composers nobody seems to have heard of but who I’d say is more interesting than a lot of his more famous contemporaries… this is probably the best place to start if you want to sample his output. Really thrilling stuff.

Loert got a reaction from Jurassic Shark in Cinema Paradiso (film & score)
I ugly-cried at the ending when I first saw it. One of my favourite films of all time.
The score is really good. I find it slightly ironic that the most famous theme from the movie was written not by Ennio Morricone, but by his son. At least, that's what I've heard, the reality might be different.

Loert reacted to Garrett in John Williams tapped to score Oliver Stone’s Donald Trump (2027)
Per Cinema Herald:
Legendary composer John Williams has been tapped to score Oliver Stone's upcoming film, "Donald Trump," set for release in 2027. The film will explore the life and presidency of Donald Trump. Stone, known for his provocative and politically charged filmmaking style, is expected to bring his unique perspective to this highly anticipated project.
Williams expressed his excitement for the collaboration, stating, "Working with Oliver Stone is always a creatively fulfilling experience, and I am thrilled to be a part of this project."
Williams revealed that he has already written the main theme. “Oliver wanted me to write an ambiguous theme that could be played in either a major or minor key, depending on the context. So I wrote a motif that goes up a major second, down a perfect fifth, and then up a perfect fourth. Hopefully, I’ve written something that might contribute in some way to the audience’s listening experience, if only on a subconscious level.”
This collaboration is set to deliver a captivating musical narrative, leaving fans eagerly awaiting the film's release.
