  1. We continue to muse on the little sheet leak on TROS... This time 1M6 Ren's Entrance cue. We know that it is intended for the scene on Mustafar, which is where the final film begins. The Oracle, who was later cut from the film, was also present in this scene. This cue has a later version (1M15 Vader's Castle), which is shorter in length and partially used in the film. This scene was not originally in the beginning of the movie - before it there was Rey's training (cues 1M3-5). I didn't think to do a video for this cue at first (since only the very last shots in the final film is intact), but since I started posting all the mockups in this thread, I decided not to make a confusion. The beginning of the cue was obviously temp-tracked by Padme's Ruminations from Ep. III that JW almost repeated (by removing the synth and adding string clusters). I "restored" this part in very rough way... Honestly, I have no idea what was supposed to happen here - the slo-mo footage was already in the teaser, but there may have been more. The string fragment sounding during the perhaps gradual appearance of the Oracle was moved into 7M20 Approaching the Throne cue by the composer. It's also interesting to note the rendition of the Imperial March, which seems to be heard here during the dialogue - in the newer version of the cue, the March sounds very loud and longer, apparently during the added (and then deleted) shot of Vader's castle. After that, Oracle disappears, and Kylo takes the Wayfinder. Interestingly, unlike the new version, there is no Kylo theme or Wayfinder motif here. And an abnormally long chord (if the timecode is to be believed) is followed by a transition to 1M7 cue - possibly Journey to Exegol. @BrotherSound

  2. I watched the reunion. I found it weird how little of the original music they used. Maybe there were rights issues.

    Not the greatest recording, but for those who never saw it (or were not even born), here it is. Also, Happy New Year.

  7. I recently got the blu-ray and watched the movie, semi-studied the score some and wanted to post some observations: There is 51 minutes, 20 seconds of score in the film. 1 minute and 4 seconds of source music, one of them being an excerpt of JS Bach's Toccata and Fugue in d minor, the other being music that plays on a film when the characters are sneaking through a theater. Williams scores the Universal International Logo with a statement of the main theme from the movie. The main title is certainly a standout cue, but there are some other great moments such as when the main characters are traveling on a train and there's a nice statement of the theme. There is some brief action music in a couple of spots that provide a kick of adrenaline that I really liked. There are two moments where the score becomes very quirky, goofy similar to some of Williams' comedy writing, for scenes where the characters were pretending to be drunk. I really like this score and I do hope elements for it can be found for a release!

  8. Makes sense. I'm still really curious to see who will score the Obi Wan show. Also, I just saw this lol

  9. Nice! Yeah. I’m of the same mindset. I have zero interest in ever playing the games. But I am now completely enthralled by this story. Can’t wait for season 2.

  11. I honestly didn't think anyone here would be interested in it so I had not posted anything about it, but yes! I don't play League of Legends, knew nothing about it, and I don't plan on playing those games ever. But I was very taken by the absolutely beautiful design and style of the world and animation I saw in a promo on Peacock or something, I believe. So, one night I thought "Eh, what the hell? I'll give it an episode." and I was hooked! Really engrossing story as you said, great characters and performances, overall just really well done. I very much enjoyed the music as well. Glad to see others here have seen and enjoyed it as much as I did. It's certainly one of my favorite things I've seen this year.

  12. I rewatched the episode just to keep an ear out for the score and the cue for when the sand people pick him up until he arrives at their camp is cool as heck.

  13. I posted this in another thread. This is not just one of the best animated shows I have ever seen, but some of the best television I have ever seen. To start with the animation. The style of the animation is mindblowing and is something I have never seen before. It's really cool. The plot is very rich with different story points that all tie together. And it ends on a amazing cliffhanger for Season 2. The characters are across the board fantastic. The music is also very strong! I still think it's a shame not a lot of adult animated series are watched by a wider audience. Think Castlevania, Blood Of Zeus & Invincible. I for one, love them. But hope a lot of people see this, it's so so good.

  14. Meh. I'd rather if they celebrated the anniversary of the franchise with a new show on HBOMax or something. I particularly would love a Clone Wars-style animated series set in the 1970s depicting the First World War against Voldemort and the origins of the Order of the Phoenix.

  15. MTT's recording of Henry Brant's orchestration of Charles Ives' Concord Sonata (whew!) is awe-inspiring. I probably prefer it to the original solo piano if that's not too blasphemous.

  16. This score is pretty much at the top of my most-wished-for JW expansions. A great score mated to a great film. It would be a delight to see it expanded in 2022. Let’s not forget that a 27th anniversary is one of the special ones, right??

  17. I do hope they’re able to find, license and release more of these old forgotten titles. Instant purchase if that should ever be the case.

  18. Likely "Buccaneer" was the production code name, with 101 being the episode number (series 1 episode 1 - "101").

  20. Can’t wait to watch this today. This show is blast! (I still think Hawk’s “redemption” was waaaay to sudden after breaking his best friends arm. Hopefully he goes through some measured penance in this season.) EDIT: Watched the first 4 episodes while waiting for the New Year last night. I will say I’ve been appeased in my need for Hawk’s punishment;) Also, I love how they’ve stayed consistent with the different musical themes in the show. It just adds to the ridiculous drama about community karate clubs 😆But that’s the genius of this show. They straddle that line perfectly between being sincere and not taking things too seriously. I don’t how they do it.

  21. I’m firmly with @The Illustrious Jerry and @WampaRat about Spielberg’s WSS. Just came out of the theater and I loved every single second of it. Jerry’s review is spot-on—this was a labor of love for Spielberg and it shows. Every camera movement perfect, every actor luminous, every visible piece of the set an utterly convincing work of art. The New York Phil played like their lives depended on it. And this is the first film I’ve seen in a long time where the violence looks real (like the actors really are being punched in the face or smashed over the head with a chain). It absolutely grieves me that the film isn’t doing well at the box office and I really hope that the industry (or industry watchers/commentators) does not interpret this to mean Spielberg’s passé. He absolutely is not. The film business needs him more than ever, as far as I’m concerned.

  22. This weird ass theme music has made me more interested in BOBF than the concept or trailers ever have. Pretty good!

  23. Honestly I struggled a bit with this one. I really wanted to like it, but like many others I'm becoming increasingly fatigued with the Marvel Factory Production Line and this did nothing to jolt me out of it, unlike WandaVision (Loki didn't do much for me, it had a lot of promise but just never reached its potential). It was just quip after quip after quip, sandwiched between near-operatic moments of melodrama. When Maguire came through the portal I just felt nothing. Maybe it was the knowledge that he would definitely be in it, as it was the worst kept secret in Hollywood. But he was my Spider-Man, and Raimi's second film of the franchise remains the best of the whole genre, and I barely blinked when it happened. On one hand I might be getting too old for these movies, but on the other hand the thrilling Into the Spider-verse did everything that this film did but with some real style and panache, and I felt a bit of that childlike awe and wonder watching that one. The plastic and dull MCU aesthetic really pales in comparison. Willem Dafoe stole the show, he was really great hamming it up as both sides of Osborne, and Alfred Molina was pretty fun as well. But the rest of the villains may has well have not been there. Cumberbatch snoozed through every line, and while I know Doctor Strange has always been a bit of a prick he was downright unpleasant in this film. For a movie that puts so much into the idea of responsibility it was baffling to see how much blame and guilt he put on Peter for a spell that he himself royally botched. The whole "look what you made me do" vibe was pretty tone-deaf in my opinion. Garfield was surprisingly good in this. I didn't love the Judd Apatow-esque bantering scene between the three Peters, but the most affecting moments in the film were surprisingly Garfield's.

  24. Why not hire Rian Ruin Johnson for the Cursed Child movie? This way all the female characters will be badass despite all the male characters being idiots or incompetents.

  25. It appears the Columbia Pictures branch of Sony has eliminated a website for its FYCs and now has an app, which you need to be an Academy member to access. Sony Pictures Classics still has a website.
