I'm new! First post actually! But a long time Williams fan. I started collecting his scores a long time ago and haven't missed once since. I love Tin Tin and the samples from War Horse. I think they're definetly his best ones in a long time.

It's not Tin space Tin.
It's not TinTin, with a capital T in the middle of his name.
It's one word. Capital T, small i, small n, small t, small i, small n.
Thank you.

I'm new but I have been a John Williams fan for ages! I've also watched the forum for a long time but have joined now because of all the excitment surrounding these scores, just seemed like the right time 
So you could say it had something to do with these soundtracks

Welcome Hedwig and NickTinTin!
It is true that these new releases inspire people, long time lurkers and other fans as well to join the messageboard which is just terrific. There are a lot of us here who share a passion for John Williams music. The more the merrier.

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-

From a storytelling point of view, from a directing point of view, there is one thing I associate with what he does, which is calm. There is such an inherent calm and inherent trust of the one powerful image, that he makes me embarrassed with my own work, in terms of how many different shots, how many different sound effects, how many different things we’ll throw at an audience to make an impression. But with Kubrick, there is such a great trust of the one correct image to calmly explain something to audience. There can be some slowness to the editing. There’s nothing frenetic about it. It’s very simple. There’s a trust in simple storytelling and simple image making that actually takes massive confidence to try and emulate.

Boy, LeBlanc is such a dickhead now that he knows how to right Tintin properly. I think I prefered him when he was ignorant and writing "TinTin". He was much nicer back then. Ah, those were the days!It's not Tin space Tin.

So is this what you all are? A bunch of lazy brats who take everything for granted? I wonder, who's gonna wipe your ass the day I'm not around? He'll need a large towel, because you all have pretty big fat asses, so fat that when you want to fart, the air doesn't even come through.

Yes everything was better in our youth before the Punic Wars. The grass was greener, the pidgeons were fatter, sun shone brighter. In those days you had to go to school on foot and walk 60 miles back and forth. No cars or trains or planes. And in the winter you skiied that distance in biting cold. Half of your fingers had to be amputated before the age of 10. Those were the times. You think you have tough now, do you punks!!?I can remember Hannibal crossing the mountains like if it was today, lad!

Kind of late response. But I'd probably one of those guys who just joined this forum because of Tin Tin and War Horse. I've been a fan of John Williams ever since I listened to my first JW score (Star Wars!). I just got my Tin Tin CD today....I see I'm pretty behind when compared to everyone else. I'll start listening to it tonight. Can't wait!

Well, for 5 or 6 years I've been reading this forum on a daily basis... So when for the first time in my life I found a quite valuable piece of information about the most important thing on earth (John Williams' next score) before everyone here, I thought it was a good pretext to join...

I'm new around here, too, having just signed up this week. Amidst the Tintin and War Horse excitement, have folks also been enjoying JW's 'On Willows and Birches' which has also become available this autumn ?
I work as a writer. My books include: War Films (Virgin Books) and The Pocket Essentials: Steven Spielberg.
My most recent book is : Movie Movements: Films That Changed The World of Cinema and my forthcoming book is The Films of Pixar Animation Studio which will be published in summer 2013 by Kamera Books.
I have recently produced a range of short films about the work of Charles Dickens as a part of the Dickens 2012 celebrations in the UK.
As a screenwriter my most recent film is the short film Chasing Cotards, which screened at various North American film festivals throughout 2011.
I've written for 3D World magazine, Empire magazine and Moviescope magazine amongst others.
