What way is “another”?I walk into a certain store and just buy it. The proprietor always orders a bunch of these hot new releases and puts one aside for me. I have connections.

Duh, me too. Although I'm not sure how much I'm gonna listen to it... 😂

Here you go. Watch this video and you'll get a very good idea what this score is all about. Actually it's a very lovely, very emotional score... Kind of underrated. I suspect that in many respects it's on the same level as Sabrina, Angela's Ashes, orThe Book Thief, as far as quality and general appeal go.

I doubt it. All parcels outside EU are going to have to be declared beginning the 1st of July which means that there will be massive delays in the customs with international packages. Ah the postal bliss! Making us work for our parcels!
I was never a fan of the EU... 😂
That's one reason.

I'm sure I had Dorinda Solo Flight at one point in the distant past, but I couldn't tell you now what it sounds like.
No current plans to buy this set.
Somehow I'm certain this one won't sell out for some time...
Maybe in 5-6 years!?

No, I will not buy it (obviously).
Can't remember the last time I listened to ALWAYS, but it's definitely more than a year ago. In fact, I've been playing relatively little Williams over the last year. These things come and go in phases, is my experience.
I actually like the Always adaptation found on the Spielberg/Williams Collaboration album! That one's definitely my most listened to track from Always... Don't know the OS album at all, although I probably listened to it once or twice years ago.
-
I'm excited we're getting a new JW expanded score, sure, but I gotta admit, Always is among my least listened JW scores. Considering that it's a score which was written at the height of JW's career (right between the Indiana Jones trilogy and the new phase which was kicked of by Jurassic Park/Schindler's List), that's rather telling...
But I'll definitely get it, one way or another, and look forward to really delve into this score. Oh, I've seen the movie only once, and thought it's nothing to write home about.

A number of Spielberg's recent films look and feel like they could be right out of Netflix.
Yeah, films like The Post, Bridge of Spies, and Ready Player One!
Although The Post still has a great score...

This will likely be released on Netflix in 2023...
If we're lucky.

Nice job looking up and going through JW's filmography one by one... 😂
OK, game's over.

Wait, Leonardo DiCaprio?

I don't remember Robin Williams in A.I.
He didn't technically star in the movie, anyway. He just lent his voice for a short scene...
Kinda like Ben Kingsley in the same movie. Kinda like Morgan Freeman in War of the Worlds.

About Aliens, the only part that stands out to me is something with woodwinds early on in the movie, I think. It sounds classical and it's probably stolen.
I like the stringy part at the very beginning that sounds like the beginning of A.I.
You know what I mean.

Julia Roberts - Hook and Stepmom
Robin Williams - Hook and A.I. Artificial Intelligence
Dustin Hoffman - Hook and Sleepers
Kevin Costner - Amazing Stories and JFK
Brad Pitt - Sleepers and Seven Years in Tibet
Anthony Hopkins - Nixon and Amistad
Mel Gibson - The River and The Patriot
This was just a test and you fell right into it... Dear Lord. 😂
My point was, how much harder and more interesting it is to try to think of a major actor who only starred in one JW-scored movie.

It really is (it matches up with the Varese Sarabande Deluxe OST). I used scans of James's manuscript to make it (fully copyright licensed). Next release (going to the printers imminently) is Michael Kamen's "The Iron Giant", then I'm doing "Independence Day". Busy busy!!!
Awesome!

I'm biased. No this is not a shameless plug for my Aliens score book. Yes it's still in stock.
Wow, didn't even know this existed....
Is this really the original orchestral score as written by James Horner and his orchestrators? Or was this transcribed by a third party?

Would I throw out the Japanese OST booklet just because the expanded booklet is just bigger, more colorful?
I don't know, but why not ask @mxsch? Anyway, I'm arguing for not throwing it out...

IMO you can throw away Lost World album when it comes to the expansion, because it is so much better.
Why throw it out, though? You don't have to listen to it...
I mean, would I throw out my wife just because I have a younger, hotter girlfriend?

Home Alone 2?

...yes, that's what the thread is about.
Well, I know what I asked, but many people who respond apparently don't...
34 minutes ago, Chen G. said:In terms of the movies, its a trickier comparison because they're so different: one is a horror film, the other - an action flick. Cameron had (rather ingeniously) kind of covered his bases by making his sequel so different as to eschew comparisons.
Exactly. Apple and orange.

Aliens is good, but it's Alien AINEC
You're talking about the score, right?

Julia Roberts played also in Stepmon
Dustin Hoffman and Brad Pitt also played in Sleepers
Anthony Hopkins played in Amistad
Mel Gibson played the leading role in The River.
Well, true. So that leaves only Kevin Costner....
I told you that's much more interesting!
-
It'd be more interesting to find out which big actor had only 1 movie scored by JW, since, obviously, that would be the highlight of their careers...
Off the top of my head:
Julia Roberts - Hook
Robin Williams - Hook
Dustin Hoffman - Hook
Kevin Costner - JFK
Brad Pitt - Seven Years in Tibet
Anthony Hopkins - Nixon
Mel Gibson - The Patriot
-
And why? Also, which tracks are the highlights of each score for you?
I've had both scores for a long time, but I'm only now trying to really get into them...
-
My God, saw this just now. This comes rather unexpected, but...
Instant buy!
'Nuff said.
-
Off the top of my head...
1. Summon the Heroes
2. Rescuing Sarah (Expanded)
3. Journey to the Island
4. Mischief Managed!
5. Star Wars and the Revenge of the Sith
Will you buy the new Expanded Edition of "Always" from LLL?
in JOHN WILLIAMS

Just rewatched the trailer... I think one problem with this movie is that both Richard Dreyfuss and Holly Hunter somehow seem awfully miscast. They don't strike me as the best choices for a romantic movie. The best thing about this movie, except the score, is definitely Audrey Hepburn!
