John Crichton

To make room for the screensaver, wallpaper, and other crap they put on there. Just give us music! :roll:

Ditto. The Oscars say nothing about true quality, and everything about internal Hollywood politics. Who votes for them anyway? By the way, I think there might be a solid Dementor theme, or at least a little motif. You know the quick, dark fanfare that's played toward the end of Apparition on the Train? I think I heard a very soft playing of it again in Monster Books and Boggarts, probably underscoring when Harry's boggart turns into a dementor.

They certainly blew the perfect marketing opportunity with the DVD release last year. Maybe they were thinking about a complete release in conjunction with Indy 4, but now that looks about as likely as Horner scoring a Speilberg film.

If Star Wars can't have Williams music, it shouldn't have any music at all. Not a note.

I voted for Window to the Past, the more I hear that theme the more I love it. Tough choice though, they all have something going for them.

There's been way, way too many. I stopped looking for or watching trailers for POA a long time ago. I just got boring and tedious to see basically the same stuff over and over. But there are websites that put up videos everytime HP is mentioned on the local news. Someone on TV could just randomly yell, "Harry Potter!" and 2 hours later it'll be on Mugglenet. So some saturation is to be expected. But there are so many movies nowadays that fall into the trap of showing almost everything in the trailers just to get people to watch. When's the last time you saw, for example, a big budget, big effects disaster type movie and could pick out a big effects shot that wasn't in a trailer? Even Return of the King had almost everything in the trailer.

Mine would've been 16 bucks at Hastings (a CD/DVD/video game/books superstore that I think is only in Texas), but I traded in an old DVD and got a couple of bucks off. I tell you, between POA, the ROTK DVD, and Buffy Season 6, yesterday was a budget buster! But worth it.

I don't think there is. Not without getting all the SFX mixed in with it. I remember for Ep. 1 Elvisjones took some unreleased music from Jedi Power Battles for the PS, and they all had effects on them. You used to be able to dowload an unreleased cue from a PC game, Clone Campaigns or something, on one of the sites hosted by JW-Music.net, but I think it was taken down.

It's also his first score since Catch Me if You Can. AICN strikes again! LOL

Excellent, Marian! This is great, I'm really happy that all you guys got to meet and have such a great time. The next one will have to be bigger! Keep the pics coming.

LOL Like the LOTR EEs. I've never even thought about sitting through THAT, I wonder how long they run.

Spoken like someone who hasn't been within 500 miles of Texas.

Personally, I think it's high time JW came to Texas! And it would be the coolest thing in the world if he started posting here. I visit the board for the British comedy Coupling, and the writer, Steven Moffat, posts there every once in a while. Things he says there sometimes even get picked up by the press!

That's some damn long end credits. 12 minutes? What, are they the large print version? One name on the screen at a time? Did everyone in England work on the film? *Fill in your own joke here.*

I agree with these two. I'll add a lack of familiar themes from the first two films (other than Hedwig's), but there could be more on the unreleased cues. And it seems that the new themes, other than Double Trouble, are rather underdeveloped, but again that's without hearing the whole score yet. But these are quibbles, as this is a sensational score. I'm not yet prepared to say that it's better than SS or the half of COS that's new, but I might after I see the film.

The children run around with no supervision this weekend. It'll take weeks to clean the board when they get back!

Without hesitation, the Force Theme. Greatest. Theme. Ever.

Without a doubt, Star Trek:TMP. Not only my favorite of the group, but my all time favorite score not written by somebody named John Williams. I almost wet myself the first time I watched ST: Nemesis and heard the best statements of the main theme since then. And then almost wanted to throw the CD out my car window when I discovered that none of them made it onto the CD. There are a couple on there, but not the big, sweeping, TMP like statements.

I second. I third.

Was an album released? Neil I honestly don't know one way or the other. I know a website that you can download rips from the game. But the title of the poll is favorite post-ROTJ score, not album. So I didn't realize an offical CD release was a prerequisite.

I know that I'm bringing this up way too late, but I think some consideration should be given to Jeremy Soule's superb Knights of the Old Republic. It's easily the best non-Williams music in the SW universe. I wouldn't vote for it, but if the Ewok travesties and a mediocre score based on a book are involved, this should be too. I voted for TPM, by the way.

Cool, I didn't know this. Thanks. Spielberg has had many potential projects come and go over the years and never get done (anyone remember Memoirs of a Geisha?) so I will wait until they actually confirm filming before I get too worked up. But it has the potential to be HUGE.

Do we even know that JW is scoring this? Is Spielberg doing it? I haven't heard anything about this.

I just got done too. Very impressed for the most part, although is wasn't really what I expected. Very diffrent from the first two scores. The whole thematic structure has been almost completely revamped. The Knight Bus had me laughing like crazy, that is going to be a very funny scene and the music is perfect. And I was really hoping to hear Harry's Theme as that was my favorite from the first two films, but the new theme that's apparently for Harry is very good. I will have to listen to it a couple of more times, but on first listen I have to say bravo! As if there was any doubt.

I couldn't agree more. I just thought the poll would be funny to do after Neil's comment.
