Yes, merge please. And while you're at it: is it too early to create a Lincoln subforum...? ;)

I voted for merge. Going back and forth between the main and subforum has been a bit arduous (one extra click on the mouse). ;)

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-

Among all the things I have done in my short and pitiful life, becoming an inside joke on JWFAN is the one I'm the least proud of.

I want it merged to. And that's because I tend to forget there is a sub-forum.

Karol
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. - Christopher Nolan

Don't merge. I don't give a fuck about Tintin or War Horse. Having a subforum helps keeping that crap away from the General Discussion board.
Merge them, and it will be chaos. The plague will spread. Rivers of blood will flood the lands. Women will give birth to demons with wings and tentacles. And Cosman will become a Moderator.
Don't merge.

The sad truth is that Tintin and War Horse didn't generate NEARLY the amount of posts and threads that Indy IV did. This place was a MAD HOUSE then!

I don't know what the difference is - both were the first Williams score in 3 years, both were action/adventure scores. I guess one was the 4th entry in a beloved franchise and a huge summer blockbuster, the other was 2 winter films that were first entries, even though one was an adaptation of a beloved franchise. I dunno.

Maybe it's that some of the big posters from back then don't post as much any more? I dunno.

The movie releases were all over the place this time. I know I'm still avoiding War Horse film, as well as most score, threads because the film isn't out yet here.

That is quite funny when thinking how much better films both Tintin and War Horse are. Also music wise.

Answer to the topic: merge.
Even I have seen War Horse, here in the far side of the world.

The whole sub forum idea was a farce anyway!

Hey look, new Williams scores are being released, let's NOT allow discussion about it on the main forum!

Worst decision ever! (apart from Jack Chapple)

I think it's also because WH and Tintin were both released at separate times in the US and Europe, the source of most of our posters. With KotCS I believe it all hit at once, and one person's enthusiasm nourished another's. It's less fun to discuss a movie/score when half the people are avoiding spoiler-filled threads like the plague, and by the time the other half sees the movie the first half isn't as excited to discuss it.

And it's generally more fun to discuss bad movies than good ones.
