Kasey Kockroach 2,344 Posted March 26, 2018 Share Posted March 26, 2018 Not my viewpoint, but I get the impression grandfather finds Williams scores more compelling when he's NOT working with Spielberg. I once asked him his top 5 Williams scores, and none of them were the Williams-Spielberg works. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lewya 360 Posted June 6, 2018 Share Posted June 6, 2018 1. I don't really care about most of Williams's music even if most of it is good, it isn't good/interesting/compelling enough to make me want to listen to again or add it to my playlist(s). Only about say the best 20% or so of it is really worthwhile. 2. Williams isn't even my favourite living film composer - I probably prefer Elliot Goldenthal and Thomas Newman over him, at least Newman over Williams. Williams wouldn't make my top 4 film composers of all time either. Top 4 film composers of all time: Bernard Herrmann Alex North Thomas Newman Jerry Goldsmith Williams would maybe come in at fifth.

Lewya 360 Posted June 6, 2018 Share Posted June 6, 2018 Haha, but it is true. There are a fair number of Williams scores I don't care for (ok, let's be honest here, the same can be true about the composers I included in my top 4, but probably not to the same extent). I couldn't care less about things like the Home Alones, Stepmom, The Terminal, Indy 4, War Horse etc though. Had he written more scores like Close Encounters, A.I.. Memoirs of a Geisha etc then I would perhaps think differently. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Quintus 5,399 Posted June 7, 2018 Share Posted June 7, 2018 On 17/02/2018 at 8:01 PM, Stefancos said: Jerry Goldsmith was slightly better. On 17/02/2018 at 10:36 PM, Richard said: I agree. JW is a master at wringing out just about every emotion from a scene, but JG's is deeper, "spiritually". THE FINAL CONFLICT, POLTERGEIST, and STAR TREK: TMP, and V have a spirituality that matches the best of Rozsa. If anything, JW is the flip side of that (SLEEPERS). Actually, what Stefan really meant was that he's nutted more often to Star Trek and Rambo than he has to anything else. 9 hours ago, Steve McQueen said: Unpopular Opinion #2 JW Fan should be a place where all film composers are celebrated and discussed. I agree with this. At his all but retired stage of life, John Williams shouldn't even be the site's figurehead any longer. I believe one of the reasons JWFan has began a slow agonising death is because it refuses to let go of the glory years and seize the opportunity to progress to the next phase of online community fandom. Broadening its horizons could have seen JWFan grow into a vibrant forum for all things film and its music, but instead it chooses to flounder and fade into eventual irrelevance.

publicist 4,643 Posted June 7, 2018 Share Posted June 7, 2018 A false theory, methinks, the demise of film music communities has as much to do with the rise of Facebook and the changing of internet habits in general, certainly more than the board name. At least i fail to see what would change here if you would take off the JW moniker. an onslaught of brilliant, constructive posts, in-depth, thought-provoking etc.? The recent SW surge shows where this would be headed: more anal idiots, nitpicking robot names. Jay 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
