  1. It's definitely a candidate for Best Score 2005!!!!
  2. No, we just like the food here!!! LOL
  3. I think WotW gets better with each listen, as well!!!(I'm listening to "Escape from the City" right now.)
  4. Hey people, is this a joke??? I won, too!!! But how do I get the CD???? LOL LOL LOL
  5. I still think JW will do BOTH Geisha and Munich. They're both movies, IMO, that don't require much music like, say, Star Wars. So it IS possible. 8O
  6. I agree. I love Dobby's Theme. :roll:
  7. That's okay, though (if it's only a year). Then the score which comes after will be a humdinger (like PoA). What are you talking about? The score to Seven Years In Tibet was fantastic!!! But I think Geisha will be more in the tradition of Angela's Ashes, only with Eastern influences.
  8. I'm not sure yet, but right now, I love "The Ferry Scene" and "Escaping The Country." I guess this is an album that is most effective when you listen to it straight through, though.
  9. I love it when Spielberg has one of his "work spurts"!!! Then, inevitably, JW has to keep up and has a work spurt, as well!!! LOL
  10. I know this has been discussed elsewhere already, but I wanted to have an "official" poll about this. Which film do you like more? (I'm not asking which one is better, because imo they are both equally good.)
  11. RotS, WotW, Untitled 1972 Munich Olympics Project, and Memoirs of a Geisha??? Can that be right???
  12. I think JW is a league of his own. No other composer, living or dead, has his brilliance. So yes, of course, JW is my all-time favorite composer.
  13. I think there's a difference between a tight cut and a film with an abrupt ending. A film of this magnitude (both in terms of story and production) should be over 2 hours, in my opinion. His recent sci-fi movies like A.I. and Minority Report may have suffered because of length, we could argue about that, but I think WotW was definitely a scene or three short.
  14. I mean the Director's Cut as opposed to the Theatrical Version.
  15. Well, I saw it, and I have to say it was awesome. I think only Spielberg (and maybe Lucas) can surprise you so much with visual effects. Some scenes were really great, and I loved both Cruise and Fanning. The only thing that may be negative is that it was way too short. Most of Spielberg's recent sci-fi films have run longer than 2 hours (some two and a half hours), but WotW is only 118 minutes!!! I thought the ending was abrupt. I just hope that he'll release a Director's Cut DVD!!! Oh yeah, JW's score was great, too.
  16. Hey, looks like I'm the oldest here!! ! I turned 24 a month ago!!! Happy Birthday, Josh!!! LOL
  17. Some new polls I thought of while I was showering this morning.
  18. I certainly hope so, although I don't think it will be a hit on the level of Jurassic Park or E.T.
  19. I think that's partly intended, though. Williams thinks of new ideas, and then develops it further with the next scoring assignment. The use of marimbas (?) in A.I. and then in Saving Buckbeak from PoA is another example, I think. 8O
  20. I have it, too. I bought it at Cosmos (in Austria) for 17.99 Euro. I couldn't believe they had it so early. I can't wait to put it in my CD player!!!! Tell you about my first impressions later. 8O
  21. That's what we initially thought about MR!!!
  22. The score of Minority report isn't "lush with melody" (as Spielberg said), but I love it! I listen to it over and over again. If WotW has been composed in that vein, then it's definitely a keeper! I'm one of the few people here, though, who'll wait till they've seen the movie. THEN I'm gonna listen to the CD.
  23. I like the brief trumpet solo at 4:04 and what follows. But the whole piece is genuinely amazing . . . more so than Zam the Assassin if you ask me (although Zam has some great moments, as well).
  24. Spielberg is unique. In all likelihood, we will never have such a talent again, ever. Okay, Peter Jackson, George Lucas, James Cameron and so on are able of producing huge box office hits, but no one has the magic touch of Spielberg. Even if -- and I repeat IF -- War of the Worlds should turn out to be a flop, it will still be a great movie, in terms of artistic merit. P.S.: And Roald, okay, I understand you're already sick with WotW. But why do you bother creating this thread and even responding to our responses? Why do you bother with something that you're sick with? Do something else that cheers you up, what do you say?
