2012 Mayan Calendar end of the world.

Why would a global institution like Disney decide its release hour based on some small backwards corner of the world where Drax lives?

Giacchino is reportedly elated but nervous saying, “I always knew this was my destiny. And now that the old man has tripped up, I’m ready. But who wouldn’t be nervous taking on such a big job with so little time?”
Asked for comment, John Williams who was receiving a hug from George Lucas only stated: “George was right. They’re white slavers.”

Sources tell me the audience at the premiere had a negative reaction to the score. Disney’s pulled the plug on the album and they’ve hired Michael Giacchino to scramble together a re-write and re-record by Thursday night.
Album is delayed until the following Tuesday.

Woah that Force Theme statement towards the end of Battle of the Resistance is great!
It's the one part of the FYC that feels final!

Even with a 100% preconceived piece of music, you can still make mistakes while writing it down.
You little...Why I oughta....

I can’t believe I didn’t think to rant about this in my original post.
Philosophical point that emerges from this pencil: I’ve debated endlessly with the likes of @Marcus and other composers on this forum about the writing process.
There is an incessant rumor or perhaps wishful thinking propagated by movies like Amadeus that great composers see all the notes in their head, sit down and write it down and produce a masterpiece.
Whereas I can tell you the main reason you’d actually use these pencils that John Williams uses is to take advantage of the massive twistable and replaceable erasers that take up the top half of the pencil.
That’s exactly why I prefer them to fancier and nicer pencils: I erase a lot and these are great for that.
Now why would a composer who sees his perfect masterpiece in his head need a pencil with a giant eraser?
The answer of course is that 90% of a creative endeavor is in editing, exploring, and maturing your original ideas.

It's why I say that even if you think these new scores pale in comparison to previous glories, you must admit it's astounding he's writing music this vibrant and compelling at his age. There is very little precedent for it. For most, even if they had physical health their minds would simply not be up to the task.
You're plastering a narrative onto this that isn't true. Most creative endeavors don't wane with age unless there is some underlying pathology. Old people only get better.
Productivity declines with age, but quality of output typically doesn't, if anything it improves.

Are you ok? You sound as if you received a punch to the face, not 50 minutes of new John Williams music

"Hey John, about that last score of yours for Star Wars. You know, the culmination of 43 years of work. We're just gonna toss it out in low quality scraps. Enjoy your retirement!"
I guess it serves him right for stealing this from GiawouldhavesuckedatStarwarsAnyway.

Didn't the same thing happen with one of the Hobbit scores and it was quickly taken down? Desolation of Smaug, I think...
I'm sorry, did Bilbo Baggins wield a damn light saber?

"John, you know how you brought orchestral scores back in with Star Wars?"
"Yeah."
"What if you brought no scores back in with the end of Star Wars?"
"How much do I get?"
