Then why do you ask? I couldn't care less what people like you think... -

Later John Williams returned the compliment by (almost) copying James Horner's Aliens for "Cybertronics" from A.I... At least, that's how I've always felt. -

I've read it a long time ago, I don't know where anymore. But maybe you can find an article or report. Look for it yourself. Again, this doesn't have to be true. I don't know. -

Is this real? I have never seen this before... I thought the official poster was this. Well, I've read somewhere that he was, anyway. But it doesn't mean it's true, of course. Maybe it's just a baseless rumour. -

Yeah, that was my thought as well. I don't think so. It seems we're seeing it for the first time... -

Ah, that explains it. Maybe that's why John Williams was reportedly slightly vexed when Titanic won the Oscar in 1998, instead of Amistad... -

Well, not just Enya's song. All the Irish tinged cues sound very much like Far and Away, too much so ... I refuse to believe that's just coincidence. Here's an example: -

Yes. And James Horner would later be inspired by this score (consciously or unconsciously) when he was writing Titanic... -

I remember a time when the score of Far and Away was considered to be on the same level as the original Indiana Jones trilogy and Hook! I think we'll find nothing has changed... The movie was always overshadowed by Hook, Jurassic Park, and Schindler's List (which came shortly before or after Far and Away), but the score was written when John Williams was absolutely at the pinnacle of his career and in top form! A hidden gem, if there ever was one. -

Because what JW originally wrote is in the score presentation proper? What they ended up using in the film might have been a rewrite or reedit... I'm gonna relisten to the OST now! -

I'm totally excited about this release... But somehow I don't like LLL's cover at first sight. That's a strange font. The original was better... Still, that's just a minor observation. -
