Black Friday! - What do you believe in?

[Bilbo 3,709]

Waking up to the JP/TLW News was truly amazing! I couldn’t believe it. 

 

Out a pep in my step for the rest of the day! 

[OneBuckFilms 319]

JP had my jaw dropping, as did E.T. and the news that Close Encounters was on it's way.

 

I've said it before (in different words and ways), we are being spoiled right now.

[Bespin 8,480]

I still wait for my E.T. copy... Star Wars is not until december... I hope this black Friday will feed the beast, because I'm currently bored.

JW is like Dublin bus. You wait ages for one and then three come along at once!

Nothing will beat the shock of waking up to see complete Lost World. 

My family is hoping for another surprise like that, to watch me freaking out like I did last year. They enjoyed it pretty much!

I just didn't think Universal would play ball and let a specialty label work on those properties, since they handled a JP expansion themselves not too long before.  Once the news of this sunk in, I realized anything was possible now for Williams scores.

 

And sure enough, we got another Universal JW/SS expansion less than a year later!

 

I've never quite supported the argument that major properties would be hogged by the studios wanting to do their own thing - JP demonstrated that they can have a mass-market expansion and a specialised expansion (by someone who has a fricking clue what they're doing) within a fairly short period. And surely having two products out, slightly separated, will encourage people like us to buy both... didn't studios like double-dipping?

 

I'd say SW is the one exception, as the market for the complete scores is no doubt way bigger than for any other film franchise. I'd be absolutely stunned if they were ever given to LLL/Intrada. (just in the spirit of 'never say never')

Well no, but why on earth would they do it?

WB released films 5-8 on 4K first and are only now releasing 1-4 months later.

I want John Williams: The Complete Recordings -- a 7,482 disc set featuring the unedited recording sessions of every film score ever composed by Williams.

 

 

 

...except the Indy, Star Wars or Potter scores (rights issues).

Only this will suffice.

[Brundlefly 2,385]

What will it cost? $45,758?

[crumbs 14,304]

That's just the shipping cost.

And Steven Spielberg will be the only one who will be able to buy. It will cause LLL to fold and go out of business.

[Holko 9,499]

He will leak it on the forum that shall not be named anyway.

[Joni Wiljami 1,206]

Riot

 

 

 

[Not Mr. Big 4,639]

I don't care

[nightscape94 965]

With CE3K, JFK and Towering Inferno coming up at some point in the next year (I'm guessing), I'm not assuming anything else big in the next couple of months.  I'm sure there'll be other surprises coming up in 2018, but I think we're done with grand releases for Williams this year.

[Jay 37,302]

It doesn't get much grander than CE3K and ET anyway!

[#SnowyVernalSpringsEternal 10,265]

Agreed! Two bona-fide Spielberg/Williams classics by LLL and people are still gonna be upset when Black Friday wont yield a Harry Potter box?

[Disco Stu 15,495]

I'm legitimately worried for bollemanneke's safety if there's no Harry Potter this year.

[Jay 37,302]

The fact is most everything Williams ever wrote is either being worked on by the labels or on their wish-list to be worked on if the studio who owns the rights would let them; It's extremely hard to control release dates of the final products though.  Things come out when they are done and approved, its impossible to pick a schedule of the ideal time to release each one and then stick to that.

JWFan:

[Jay 37,302]

I wonder what JWFan will talk about once every JW score has had a complete release?

[Disco Stu 15,495]

These are the sort of existential questions best left unasked.

[KK 3,307]

Well, there'll always be the mstrox thread!

[JoeinAR 1,949]

The doldrums really belittle this message board.

[#SnowyVernalSpringsEternal 10,265]

Are you going to do a Summer Blockbuster thread next year, Joe?

[JoeinAR 1,949]

No because i have lost interest and will not conform despite the bitching

Plus, and sit down folks cause this is gonna be hard to believe,

 

There are are other composers / soundtracks that are being worked on to.

 

I know it’s hard to fathom but it’s true.

Everyone will suddenly leave the forum.

I'll be all alone!

[KK 3,307]

You'll have your postcount!

And yet somehow your postcount will continue to grow.

[#SnowyVernalSpringsEternal 10,265]

But it won't be the same without Woj resenting me for it.

[Ollie 1,059]

You’ll never be alone Steef, as long as I’m here.

[#SnowyVernalSpringsEternal 10,265]

We'll finally be together!

[JoeinAR 1,949]

The wonderful thing about Black Friday is I get my longevity bonus at that time.

[Display Name 60]

All of you have chosen wisely by avoiding SW and IJ, because it is fucking impossible!

Many believe in HP? Let's see what will happen.

[Amer 2,080]

I'd love to be totally surprised again like last time when the JURASSIC PARK set came out. Our expectations for other JW surprise albums have tripled ever since then....

It is responsible for me having any expectations at all.

[#SnowyVernalSpringsEternal 10,265]

Yes!

[Brundlefly 2,385]

OMG, we were so wrong!
