Thor 9,311 Posted March 12, 2015 Posted March 12, 2015 John Williams appeared as a surprise guest at this year's ASCAP Founders Awards a few days ago, to celebrate his former assistant Nancy Knutsen, who was among the people who got recognition.More info here:http://www.filmmusicsociety.org/news_events/features/2015/031015.htmlGoldenthal was the 'main recipient' of the evening, however.There are videos from the event here (including Goldenthal's speech), but nothing Williams- or Knutsen-related yet:http://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLUo1XszOy_JkY0KzYagpJmsKWK3bAHeelBtw, the guy on the left is Paul Williams, who has collaborated with JW on a couple of occasions.
#SnowyVernalSpringsEternal 11,035 Posted March 12, 2015 Posted March 12, 2015 Ok, so who's gonna quote The Big Lebowski?
publicist 4,648 Posted March 12, 2015 Posted March 12, 2015 Who are you working for? Lebowski? Jackie Treehorn?The Knutsens.The-who the fuck are the Knutsens?The Knutsen's. It's a wandering daughter job. Bunny Lebowski, man. Her real name is Fawn Knutsen. Her parents want her back.Jesus fucking Christ.Crazy, huh? Ran away about a year ago. The Knutsens told me I should show her this when I found her. It's the family farm. It's outside of Moorhead, Minnesota. They think it'll make her homesick.Oh, boy. How are you gonna keep 'em down on the farm once they've seen Karl Hungus?
RedBard 71 Posted March 12, 2015 Posted March 12, 2015 He sure does. Can't wait to see him in concert. ^_^
Thor 9,311 Posted March 12, 2015 Author Posted March 12, 2015 He's rather tall, that Williiams, isn't he?
crocodile 9,224 Posted March 12, 2015 Posted March 12, 2015 I was thinking the same thing.Oh it's this lovely lady that visits Krakow (almost?) every year. Karol
Romão 2,432 Posted March 12, 2015 Posted March 12, 2015 Goldenthal's speech got really slurred after the accident

#SnowyVernalSpringsEternal 11,035 Posted March 20, 2015 Posted March 20, 2015 He looks older then just 2 years ago
Thor 9,311 Posted March 20, 2015 Author Posted March 20, 2015 He looks splendid! He looks younger than his age, for sure.But wow, is that lady at 6:23 actually trying to shuffle Williams off the stage?
Maurizio 5,973 Posted March 20, 2015 Posted March 20, 2015 He looks in pretty good shape to me! Go Johnny
#SnowyVernalSpringsEternal 11,035 Posted March 20, 2015 Posted March 20, 2015 He looks splendid! He looks younger than his age, for sure.Bull! William Shatner looks younger then his age. JW looks old.
Quintus 5,740 Posted March 20, 2015 Posted March 20, 2015 I think Williams is fantastic for his age. Steef, you look older than you did two years ago as well. So do I.
#SnowyVernalSpringsEternal 11,035 Posted March 20, 2015 Posted March 20, 2015 How dare you! No I don't.
Quintus 5,740 Posted March 20, 2015 Posted March 20, 2015 But wow, is that lady at 6:23 actually trying to shuffle Williams off the stage?Nah. She's just being an usher.

#SnowyVernalSpringsEternal 11,035 Posted March 21, 2015 Posted March 21, 2015 But it isn't. Im consistently estimated younger then I really am. So Thor is incorrect, and therefore cannot own.
Tom 5,707 Posted March 21, 2015 Posted March 21, 2015 In all seriousness, that is as about as healthy and vigorous as an 83 year old man is going to look--not to mention mentally witty and sharp.
Muad'Dib 1,953 Posted March 21, 2015 Posted March 21, 2015 This is even more puzzling with the Newman announcement considering how great he looks and sounds here.
King Mark 3,837 Posted March 21, 2015 Posted March 21, 2015 In all seriousness, that is as about as healthy and vigorous as an 83 year old man is going to look--not to mention mentally witty and sharp. I agree...this reassures me somehow
zoltan_902 166 Posted March 21, 2015 Posted March 21, 2015 I'm really jealous of her - she got to hug John Williams!Yes, he does look in fair shape here. It makes me want to know more about the 'minor health issue' that was apparently major enough for him to forfeit BoS.
Not Mr. Big 4,823 Posted March 21, 2015 Posted March 21, 2015 I'm really jealous of her - she got to hug John Williams! Yes, he does look in fair shape here. It makes me want to know more about the 'minor health issue' that was apparently major enough for him to forfeit BoS.Perhaps he got really, really bad food poisoning. I really hope that the minor health issue didn't affect TFA...
SF1_freeze 136 Posted March 21, 2015 Posted March 21, 2015 I really hope that the minor health issue didn't affect TFA...What do you mean? How can a corrected minor health issue affect a half finished TFA score? The only effect you will see is that he will record it in LA.
Not Mr. Big 4,823 Posted March 21, 2015 Posted March 21, 2015 I really hope that the minor health issue didn't affect TFA...What do you mean? How can a corrected minor health issue affect a half finished TFA score? The only effect you will see is that he will record it in LA.The "minor health issue" caused John Williams to completely drop BoS so I wouldn't rule out if affecting TFA. And Is there any confirmation that the score is "half-finished" at this point? There's the Thaxton rumor but that's far from official.
SF1_freeze 136 Posted March 21, 2015 Posted March 21, 2015 It's a minor(!) health issue already corrected (!)... i don't get your way of thinking at all. He appeared healthy in LA two weeks ago, his new concert work premieres in july, he is already half through TFA, he wrote the themes in 2014, he is confirmed for BFG...So what are you talking about? Neither official information (press releases, Griskey) nor rumours from industry insiders (Thaxton) nor other indications (concert dates in 2016, new concert work in july) seem to be enough for you. It's just ridiculous, sorry!
#SnowyVernalSpringsEternal 11,035 Posted March 21, 2015 Posted March 21, 2015 Do we have any idea what William Ross is doing right now?
BloodBoal 7,544 Posted March 21, 2015 Posted March 21, 2015 He stated on his official website Spielberg contacted him for his next upcoming project.

It's just ridiculous, sorry!Williams' better current state of health/future slate doesn't guarantee anything. The minor health issue threw off a whole bunch of things, including the entire scoring process of BoS, so there's a chance that it could have thrown off some of TFA too. As Doug Adams said, "In a busy interlocking schedule, it only takes one little thing to throw everything off."It's still not confirmed that he wrote the themes in 2014. I'm doubtful of Griskey's claim. He's not involved with the film in any way and could have misheard or assumed (as with the recent "announcement" that the LSO would be doing the score).Ford Thaxton's claim seems more reliable but even that isn't confirmed.That being said, I'm probably wrong. I just don't want to rule it out the possibility that I'm right.
