Mr. Breathmask

Both are fantastic sets. But it's the Jurassic Park set for me without a shadow of a doubt.

Well, I couldn't help it. I've ordered the Live Edition 2CD.

We've had one, yes. What about second concert?

So basically, you're waiting for John Williams to die? That's morbid, dude.

I enjoyed the HP2 episode as usual, but no love for more of the original material? I love The Flying Car, the spider stuff and the big cue for the Basilisk fight at the end. These always remind me that there's still half an original John Williams score in there and it's pretty damn good.

Of course. In 2020, ego is king.

I found myself. Hurray! Good thing I wore red. I've already spotted some other JWFanners who had seats more in view of the cameras too.

I got my Blu-ray yesterday. I haven't watched it yet, but I think I might have already spotted some JWFanners on the inside cover.

I hope it's Ben Burtt.

There was also a time when every Mission: Impossible movie would have a new director to keep the series fresh. By the time this is released, McQuarrie will have directed four out of eight of these. So yeah.

It's hard to imagine what 2018 would have been like if Williams hadn't fallen ill. I would have seen the man conduct two world-class orchestras in the span of less than ten days. And even after the replacement and rescheduling these concerts still became legendary anyway.

If Williams had been able to attend the London concert, we would have torn the house down.

Birds of Prey got good reviews? How? Why? It's awful.

More importantly: will we finally get all that 20th Anniversary Edition goodness that was promised back in 2002?

Well, apparently there's an open bar at the Oscar's and they have been there for over three hours now, so...

Just play them off like they did to that poor Hair & Makeup lady.

How long are these Best Leading Role speeches? Get on with it!

Joaquin's speech is going well. Is he going to shoot someone?

I was expecting 1917 to do better tonight. I guess it's Parasite's night though. But I'm happy Deakins took home his second Oscar. Well deserved!

Or... those who voted have a different opinion on this score than you do and her gender doesn't enter into it? Pretty surprised Bong Joon Ho beat Sam Mendes for Best Director! Could Parasite be the big winner later tonight as well?

Indeed.

Good for her! And that score was very effective in the film!

Lots of "hurray for women" going on tonight. To the point of feeling forced. Here comes that Best Score Oscar for Joker, I guess...

Randy Newman is looking more and more like a John Goodman/Stephen Root mashup.

I've been making my way through this over the past weeks. It's a nice listen during my morning and evening commutes. Particularly the episodes concerning Williams's early work were insightful, as I'm rather unfamiliar with anything predating Jane Eyre. I know it's far too late now, but I wish there was some attention to the commercial releases of each score as part of the podcast. It would be nice to know what was out there and which version to look for after hearing each score discussed.
