Another epic Black Friday slate! certainly Spider-Man and Tomorrow Never Dies will be purchased!

Production to me implies a factory or manufacturing process, assisting in the production of something (film etc.), perhaps for an ongoing set of products. "Project Assistant" suggests a specific project or task, perhaps assisting a research project, or the construction of a particular building. But that's just my intuition based on semantics. Real world? Probably both can be used interchangeably for a sidekick role.

So you were "Assistant to the Regional Manager"?

I've heard the additional (footwarmer) cues and there are some great moments left off of the OST. Sneakers is a score that deserves expansion, and if it is one of the titles I'll go for it.

That would absolutely be an instant purchase. There is some great music omitted from the OST.

I’m fine with them. Part of the original recording, tough or impossible to remove? Leave them in. This release sounds great overall on my headphones.

This is ANOTHER release for this year I have to have. I was not expected an official expanded release for Grinch.

I'm really looking forward to this. Mine just received a tracking number so I expected it to be in the mail in the next couple of days.

Well this was an easy order for me. The samples sound awesome. I remember the isolated score on the DVD back in the day and obsessing on that main title for a while. My kind of Jerry Goldsmith.

Especially when playing back the memory of a coronary event causes you to have one.

Oh now THIS will ABSOLUTELY be purchased as soon as it's available.

If that's the case it'll be one MAJOR holy grail purchase for me.

No, it was listed but Lucasfilm only ever provided the 97 SE prints because that is all they had.

The Blu-rays in the individual 4K and 6 film sets are all from the scans done for the 4K. The menus, mirroring the 4K disks, are simply the theatrical poster art for each respective movie. So the excessive DNR and Edge Enhancement from the 2009 Blu-rays are gone. All special features from the 2009 releases are carried over, with WOK containing the additional material added for the Directors Cut.

Here's the thing, I have no issue with the Star Wars Special Editions. There are many things I enjoy about the additions. The thing I decry is that the original film was effectively destroyed and hidden from home video or cinematic viewing after 1997, compounded further by various DVD, Blu-ray and 4K additions and changes along the way. Blade Runner did it right by preserving the existing cuts as well as the enhanced version. And Star Trek TMP releases ALSO preserve history along with the original theatrical cut (and the SLV). The Alien Anthology Blu-ray set had both original and directors cuts of those films, preserving history and presenting eloved or director-preferred versions. The problem is not the presense or absense of new effects, it is the destruction of the history making original versions of the Star Wars movies that get my goat.

I think Creature Features and Amoeba Records have good film score inventories. Dark Delicacies is also great.

If anything it would be the other way around. Complete JNH score on 2 CDs and 1 CD for whatever HS recorded.

Ilia's theme uses a piano and was recorded specifically for the album. The Overture uses horns.

The Promo Album I believe was a collection of MP3s Gabriel Yared put up on his site due to his frustraction at how he lost the job to James Horner after working on the score. Given the rumored circumstances, I don't blame him. He apparently wasn't told until very late in the game, and it was handled extremely badly by the director etc. If I recall correctly, the score files were only up a very short time before he had to take it down, and it may have been a ceace-and-desist type message from the studio. I also recall that he had trouble finding work for a while after that.

I already have the previous releases (they are amazing). I might have to dig them out for another listed, since they are now on my mind ... If there is anyone without them, I HIGHLY recommend leaping on them. They are MUST HAVES and DEFINITIVE.

Yes, they did issue Troy, a 2 CD set with 1 piece from the OST missing (apparently some kind of legal issue since it was based on someone else's music or something). They could tweak that setup to restore he one missing cue.

Peraps a reissue of Horner's TROY on 2 CDs, then 1 CD with Gabriel Yared's famously rejected score?

The 3 disks, 2 albums for Something Wicked also makes sense. Delerue release reissued, a 2 disc release for Horner's score.

Wild hunch, but we may be looking at Something Wicked This Way Comes. 1. The George Delerue rejected score (released before) 2. The James Horner complete score 3. The James Horner score album previously released If so, this would be quite interesting.

The TMP: DE approach seems to be successful, perhaps a model for how to finance DS9 and Voyager remasters? Make them Paramount+ exclusive for a period before releasing each remastered season so P+ can get positive cash and subscriptions, followed by the physical media releases.
