It's all just so convoluted. I'm not an AOTC hater, but I can't come up with any cogent reason why I can enjoy the film as much as I do. It's pretty bad.

Same slate numbers, albeit written differently

Plot twist! Mark Graham revealed the original cue title on JW's sketch for Cantina Band #2 on Instagram. Wait for it... Reel 5/6 Part 4/1 Don't Bee That Weigh So maybe "Monkey Band" was a retitle for the full score manuscripts? Either that or it's not the title at all—just a reference to this being a different ensemble on the scoring stage.

Wow, Mark Graham revealed the original cue title on JW's sketch for Cantina Band #2 on Instagram! Wait for it... Reel 5/6 Part 4/1 Don't Bee That Weigh

AI-generated album cover. That's an automatic no-buy for me.

I already answered as best I could, @JTN:

Remember, that's just what I was most interested in listening to at that moment. It wouldn't make my top five for all time, although I do like the score quite a bit. (Incidentally, I've never seen the film, partly because I'm afraid it would ruin the score for me! 😂)

Best I can do is the top five JW scores I'd want to listen to at this moment. Answers could be very different tomorrow depending on my mood and what I'd already listened to recently. 1941 Superman Raiders Return of the Jedi Always A "top five of all time" list would definitely include Star Wars, ESB, and Raiders. But the other two slots are really, really, really damn hard. They wouldn't go to any of the others on today's list, though.

Me right now, not listening to anything: 🤔 Me earlier today, when the E.T. end credits came up in shuffle: 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍

Hey, Alien is such a cool film that it doesn't even need this particular credential. It remains undiminished in my eyes!

A brief Google venture suggests that it dates back at least to the 50s?

Of the ones of I've seen: Alien Aliens (but it's close to #1) Prometheus Alien³ Alien Resurrection (I guess, since I forgot about it altogether)

That would be awesome. I was just wishing for this the other day. I may prefer the overall journey of the first score, but Doc Ock's theme singlehandedly makes the second one indispensable as well.

I just never got around to it. Kept meaning to in the years since! Oh well. Better late than never.

I'm so excited. Didn't see this film until last year and I absolutely loved it. It emphasizes all my favorite things about Nolan's films and minimizes all my least favorite things about them. I will definitely jump at the chance to see it in IMAX.
