A quick "Doctor Who" question.
The Daleks are always going on about "You are an enemy of The Daleks" this, and "You are an enemy of The Daleks" that.
Do they actually have any friends? I mean: what's their facebook status?

This has probably been discussed, but being at work, I don't have the time to go through the 32 pg of Indiana Jones Unreleased Music Resource.
I'm confused about the Temple of Doom End Credits. I know the film version has a different beginning than the album. But any and all cue lists I look at don't show two different End Credits. Is that a film version INSERT that isn't mentioned on cue lists? Was there two different End Credits written and recorded? I can't find any documentation on it.
And of course, sorry if this is super obvious and I'm being a doofus lol.
Theres only one version of the TOD End Credits. The reason they sound different in the actual film compared to the album is because the piece is edited down in several places in the film. The edits are all really clever, so clever I too once thought the film end credits were an alternate cue compared to the album version.

General Dodonna won the Euromillions rollover once.
Repeat the JWFan pledge after me: 'I hereby recognise John Towner Williams' place in the world as the great composer there has ever been, and I therefore renounce the works of Rozsa, Korngold, Herrmann, Horner, Kamen, Giacchino (unless the prophecy is fulfilled and he becomes the heir to JTW) and Goldsmith, especially Goldsmith. I understand that if I ever refer to Jurassic Park as anything less than "a masterpiece sixty-five million years in the making" I will be resigned to living out my days at the Zimmershrine.'

Also the rich mommies and daddies of the rebel teens fund their hobby of going against the Empire. Everybody knows that. Oh those kids today. In my youth you joined the Stormtroopers and were pretty darn happy about it. Now it is Rebellion this, blow up Death Star that. Poppycock and boulder dash I say! Tougher discipline, more work and less credits for idle kids' Rebellion is the key to a happier galaxy!

Ars superior est vita hominum.
"We pop out and come into the world and music is there. We didn't invent it - it's all organised in the atmosphere by divinity or whatever. It's a miracle." - John Williams-
I think music is a stream of some kind. It could be blood. It could be water. It could be ether. Whatever it is it seems to be a living, organic force that’s in motion, that serves humanity and is part of humanity and part of what describes us as humans. We sing, play, dance, all the things that we do. And there is a vibrant and great literature we have been given. ... As musicians, we join the stream. We swim in the stream with all the other millions of music makers. It’s a life force, a strong one, surrounding us and we are part of it. -John Williams-

Was "The Miracle Of The Ark" edited to fit the "opening of the ark" sequence, or is there a fuller version of the scene floating around somewhere?

Williams' cue matches the film as it was originally cut. After scoring, the scene was edited down, and so some music got edited out with it. The missing footage has never turned up anywhere as far as I know

Has anybody spotted the Toht dummy in the car? It's in the scene just after the desert chase, where the car makes a couple of circles, stops, and Dietrich throws a melon to the ground. That is clearly not Ronald lacey in that scene...

It was funded by the Malek family (Galen Malek, AKA Starkiller). There were some planets at the side of the rebellion, for example Mon Calamaria.
According to TFU (it's canon).

A quick question for classical music experts out there: In a lot of scores like ET, ROTJ, Poltegereist, The Dig, and more there is a certain religious-sounding theme that consists mainly of big chords, mostly done in strings, choir and organ. Take for example here, at 2:40...
See what I mean? There's a similar theme on Poltegereist (associated with the same kind of reliogisity) and when Luke fights Vader on ROTJ...
My question is: Are there any classical influences you can name that have influenced this kind of sound? Vaughan-Williams and his Fantasia might be one, but I'm looking for something a little more specific.
If anyone could help I would appreciate it a lot

It's heard throughout the piece, but especially near the end of the last movement. When the trombones take the main melody.

Batman question.
Why is it that the booklet of the 2 CD Archival Edition of Batman says that the Main Title March is in 7/4? Either I can't count anymore or my hearing is impaired, but to me it's regular 4/4, or 2/2.

Impossible to say! It wasn't used in the film, possibly wasn't even recorded, and the conductor's score sheet music we have doesn't say which bars it goes over. We'd need to see Williams' original handwritten sketch to know.

I'll check the sheet music for you. But i don't think it's in 7/4 too.

A Dark Knight Question.
According to wikipedia, Zimmer says that the actual theme fro batman, is heard twice in the film, and is present in Batman begins. But I always thought that the two note theme (the D F theme) was his main motif. And the motif in "A Watchful Guardian" and "Like a Dog Chasing Cars" Is heard many times in the score, so it can't be the theme Zimmer is referring to. Any ideas?

There's also the theme heard in Molossus at the 0:40 mark, and right at the end of the credits. That's the one he's referring to, I believe. It's labeled as Batman Theme on the b**t.

I think it is probably tracked but highly intentional and a great way of linking these films. Stone used some music from Born on the Fourth of July in JFK so I don't think it is wrong to assume he did it for Nixon as well.
