I hope he writes a love theme. That'll be a first.

You Holds me tight.

Wojo, desperate to retain his sizeable lead grabs on to anything and everything in the room and turns them into captions. "A lamp, sir! Surely we can use this to caption that photo you are looking at?" I kid I kid. That last one was pretty good.

Beverly: Data! That was uncalled for! Data: Possibly, but it feels soooo good

voi vittu!

BloodBoal Without his Ultimate Feel Good Video, we all still would be depressed JWFANers. What a warmhearted guy.

You'll "except?" I'm glad. There you go.

That way is certainly the best way, and if you can contain yourself then I should imagine you'll walk out of the cinema with a MASSIVE grin on your face. You just can't beat the feeling.

Didn't JW play around with that idea? I don't think this idea even made it to the writing stage, but I seem to remember reading somewhere that he tinkered around with the idea, but GL talked him out of it due to continuity with the other SW movies. Probably read it here WAY BACK when Ricard called the site "starwarsmusic.com"! The scores for the Original Trilogy are so different in tone and style than the prequels. I don't know if it's the maturity in JW's writing or a deliberate pastoral & operatic approach (maybe both), but both trilogies have a significantly different flavor from each other. If he DOES tackle Ep. VII-IX (which not only are we cautiously optimistic, but apparently he is as well), it will be interesting to see if he continues the "prequel" approach or goes back to the more romantic, sweeping style of the OT. Either way, it's some relief that he's at least considering it. Mr. K

Really only John Williams. And John Corigliano, whenever he decides to score a film. Beyond those two, most film scores and film scoring aesthetics hold very little interest for me. I take occasional delight in how certain scores will serve a film, but find almost all film music unmemorable and without integrity in of itself. I realize this has a lot to do with the role music tends to be assigned in a lot of contemporary film making, but I'm personally fiercely against anonymizing music: If strong thematic content is intimidating, fair enough, but at least have the remaining harmonies/rhythm/timbre/texture say something or add something beyond mere sound design. So much of what I hear of film music seems utterly lazy from just about any perspective. A select few composers still do tend to add a measure of artfulness in an otherwise dull sonic landscape, but ultimately what I would like to see/hear, is more skilled composers with classical training and experience -and (more importantly!) an artistic agenda of their own- taking film scoring to levels that current Hollywood trends and its slaves and practitioners are not equipped (or allowed) to reach.

Hey, you can't blame the lad for trying! It's ok BloodBoal, it was high time you joined us depressed folk anyways. I think this video does a better job though (esp at 0:40): Always cracks me up!

I am looking for a Dutchman called Stefan Cosman, he mistreated my sister. I demand that you bring him to me, NOW!

Meh. Didn't laugh at all

less chatter, more lists. Please
