This short passage proves, once again, the genius of JW! Like I said in the other thread... Another PoA highlight: "Buckbeak Saves the Day"! Love JW's (over)dramatic fight music when Buckbeak kicks the werewolf's ass, and then the strings going suddenly glissando as Buckbeak turns around, like, "Whatchoo looking at?"

Maybe that was LA time. If that's the case, in reality it would have been 10:46 pm in France. Then it makes sense.

I could never show up at the post office to retrieve the package, after all; how would they get their money then? I don't know how exactly that works, whether Deutsche Post pre-pays the custom services. But the custom service must get the money, because he already processed the package through its facility. So if you refuse to pay, you could be asked to pay even more processing fees for filtering the payment request down to you. 3 minutes ago, paleo said: Well, unless La-La Land wants to give the second set to me as a gift, why would I want to keept it? If they don't ask you to send it back, just sell it to another JWFan once it sold out. Not for a higher price, I mean, but in case someone in this community missed it out.

Usually I'm so focused on the music, I barely register it, kinda like you don't register the drums in the background while listening to a really good rock song! Besides, like you say, I think these time travel tracks were always meant to be played against the constant ticking. 1 hour ago, Chewy said: Oh! And that would also mean, no customs? Exactly!

Josh500 1,615 Posted December 22, 2018 Share Posted December 22, 2018 I think Spielberg should do another movie with Tom Cruise!

redishere 697 Posted December 25, 2018 Share Posted December 25, 2018 Minority Report has a killer score. The opening theme in 9/8 + 11/8 (I think) gives me chills every time.
