  1. I've heard this so many times, but what theme from Hook are we actually talking about?
  2. Yeah it's morning here in the Lowlands... But...why are you people so shortsighted? Jurassic Park doesn't sound like a Dinosaur film score? Than I'm sorry, but what WOULD? The Lost World? That theme is sooooo cliche! It's like people complaining about the 1977 score for Star Wars that it is not sounding like a SCIENCE FICTION score!! What do you want then: Ennio Morricone's The Humanoid? I don't like The Lost World theme because it's way too conventional! The same goes for The Patriot Theme; no heart, all the clichés. It's exactly the kind of music you'd expect upon reading the track title 'The Patriot'. And I DO like the Love Theme; that's NOT the theme I'm talking about.
  3. Sounds extremely promising to me. Too bad they couldn't confirm whether the Final Duel music is a part of Battle Of The Heroes. If it were; I'm sure they would have mentioned it. I guess we'll have to see until this thing leaks.
  4. The worst theme? Ah man that's too easy: The Lost World ofcourse! After the highly memorable score for Jurassic Park John Williams comes up with this?! I'm beginning to like the percussion-driven underscore (Rescueing Sarah and all), but the theme doesn't do anything for me. Second: the Patriot theme. After all the sweeping melodies written for epic-films like Braveheart, Gettysburg, Dances With Wolves, even Gladiator, Williams comes up with a melody that sounds like it could have been written by a 2 year old. da-da-daaa-da-da-da-daa-da-da-daaa-da-da-da-daaa. Ah man; that theme is so irritatingly mediocre!
  5. By the way; CyclonusArmada - do you by any means like Battlestar Galactica? I'm really excited about that new series. Never had much enthusiasm for the old ones, but that re-imagined series looks way cool! And Starbuck's a girl now!
  6. I digged up some old Groovy Yak material and I calculated that this is actually the 5567830277th time! I'm gonna sleep man! (Yeah I know it's way too early!) Thanks for the fun again!
  7. Check the definition dude! HAHAHAHA (I'm bluffing here. Damn! I wish I knew if Alex was right or not!)
  8. Ok, ok, Stefan... Didn't see that one coming you ol' prankster! But anyway... But still; at least their praising is GENUINE! Why would you want to take that away from anyone? Why would you care so much? Why do you feel the need to play Jesus on them? Why am I so upset that I fell into another trap by the, sigh admittingly, ... Master!
  9. If Stefan is an expert and you are too than we are ALL experts here!
  10. I don't think you need this reminder, but you are on a John Williams FAN messageboard. Hello? That doesn't mean that we should start worshipping John Williams and even go so far as to secretly recording the sounds the man would make on the toilet after a bad dish of Dutch food (bloemkool or something) and proclaiming it as another brilliant composition from the master. It doesn't mean that people should not be able to critisize a score either. Ofcourse not. But if anyone wants to be joyous about 60 minute soundclips THIS is the place to be! At least they say WHAT THEY MEAN! You couldn't answer my question: "So please Master tell me WHY is it ?dramatically lacking any cohesive structure??", because you don't really know what you're saying do you? You give critisism just for the sake of being negative it seems. I'm happy to see people rejoicing over a crappy ringtone. It's what fandom is ALL about!
  11. And by the way; I was certainly NOT one of those who reacted orgasmatically upon hearing that Grievous track and proclaiming it the "greatest thing of all time" or something. I said I LIKED it.
  12. I was wondering; do you keep a notebook somewhere in which you write down every member's profession, musical preference and all or do you have an excessivly good memory? I think that's about the 25th time in all the years on this board that you remind me of the fact that I am a schoolteacher. Hmm...how about doing it the other way? YOU said that the ROTS soundtrack is ?Dramatically lacking any cohesive structure?. That sounds like Jar Jar Binks is performing Shakespeare to me. So please Master tell me WHY is it ?dramatically lacking any cohesive structure??
  13. Easily the most pretentious crap ever written on this board. Sorry man, I like you, but you are so full of **** right now. And you base this on, what?, one and a half minutes of music???!!! "Dramatically lacking any cohesive structure..." LIKE YOU WOULD KNOW! Pls bring back the old Stefancos. This one *****!
  14. And all of you: thanks for your information! I understand now that there is no UBER-Bond movie. There are supposed to be many good ones and opinions highly vary on which those exactly are. I think I just have to go with Neil's advice to start with Dr. No and work my way up. Thanks again!
  15. Hey! For your information mister: that was not a camel, but an Oepie! 'Oepie' sounds way more cool than 'camel'!
  16. I don't agree. Just because it may have four or five similar notes (same modulation, same sequence) still doesn't make this piece a COPY of Harry Potter. I have the feeling some now percieve the two compositions as IDENTICAL based on really a little fragment from both pieces. A little overblown. By the way: Mike Verta! Just saw your site (www.mikeverta.com)! That music your wrote for Forbidden Warrior....AMAZING!!!!! Welcome here!!!
  17. You know what: I LIKE IT! In the end it's only a preview of what is likely to be a secondary track. It's a teaser for the score and a teaser never shows the best parts. I don't know what the guys at www.starwars.com have in store for Star Wars fans from this point on. Many have compared this to Harry Potter (over at various Star Wars boards), some to Lord Of The Rings. It will only take time before someone in here finds out that this cue is actually a hidden variation of The Emperor's Theme!
  18. Well yesterday I saw A View To A Kill on Dutch television and on friday I saw Die Another Day. I found both quite mediocre so if this is standard Bond-stuff it's something that I can't really enjoy.
  19. Recently I've been watching some James Bond films. I must honestly say: I don't really like it. The following may sound lame, but I just don't find it "cool" enough. But I would like to see THE best Bond film out there. The problem is that I have no idea which one to choose. Any help here would be appreciated. What is the 'Empire Strikes Back' among the Bond films? Thanks!
  20. Over at the www.millenniumfalcon.com Ternian (a highly reliable source) stated that Battle Of The Heroes also contains THE duel music from ROTJ (you know; when Luke attacks Vader for one last time). Can anyone confirm this?
  21. Check http://www.sithclan.net/SC4/accueil/index....ck_html&id=8214 ENJOY!!!!
