The word 'masterpiece' gets thrown around here way too often. 

Well, I particularly don't throw it for whatever... I rarely use it.

Among my 10 favorite ever films and scores!

Such a masterpiece!

This is a comparison of the Blu-ray vs. the DVD. I don't know what the 4K of Aliens looks like.

Here's many comparisons between blu-ray and 4k digital.

Unfortunately, there is DNR.

I will keep my blu-ray it seems.

A pleasant surprise!

Although I don't usually listen to such kind of music, I enjoyed this.

Which means we just got the next Academy Award winner for Best Original Score! 

You know... I wonder if we resemble the audience of Stravinsky's Rite of Spring, that cannot understand the new, and we're in the presence of a masterpiece, or if the score resembles the emperor's new clothes. (you all know the story, right?)

[First Impressions: The SCORES of 2023]

Not my cup of tea.

It may do wonders in the film, but I cannot listen to this as a standalone release.

I liked the first part with the Santa Claus origins story, but not the 2nd part.

Even Spielberg doesn't like HOOK. That should tell you a lot.

I LOVE Hook! I cannot understand why people don't like it.

I'm disappointed that this terrible sequel was scored by John Williams.

I completely agree on that.

Yeah, I ordered too from MusicBox Records, but I'm not so optimistic.

Had I posted that, waves of anger would have followed.

I would hope everyone is entitled to his opinion here, without being bullied.

[Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny - Isolated Score Track]

So, I listened to the isolated score, but didn't change my mind about it. 

I found nothing to make me want to listen to it again (or the ost - although I bought that to have it in my collection), apart from Helena's theme, which anyway doesn't fit the character at all, but it's a nice composition on its own.

[What Is The Last Score You Listened To? (older scores)]

It's funny that scores for video games have such a high level and film scores don't!

Any "religious" score for a video game I should know about?

I appreciate the minimalism of the new cover, but the cover of the previous LLL edition is one of my favorite film posters ever, so... I'm partial to it.

Well, I vastly prefer Nixon and The Patriot than the 2 prequel scores.

That is about 12 Euros more than if you buy it from La La Land itself 

Oh, really? I thought it would be much cheaper ordering from LLL.

But I wouldn't risk it paying at customs. (and the broken cases I usually get from LLL)

I have never heard this, mainly because I can't stand Will Ferrell and so I haven't watched the film.

How is the score?

[Different versions of the same work?]

I'm with @Thor on this. I don't want to have multiple versions of the same work.

I'm fine with one that I would be pleased.

(and that's why I don't like re-recordings of film scores. Even if they have better sound)
