Reel to reel with bonus wax cylinder release or no sale!

Looked to to me like it the eagle was screeching to tell them to stop chanting his name then buggered off when they didn't listen. Silly humans.

Really loved when Sauron took the form of Annatar. Can't think what it reminded me of though

Think you might have missed the tongue-in-cheek tone

Jesus tapdancing Christ. Are we really complaining about which version of the prologue starts the set? We're doomed as a species, aren't we?

I can't get enough of this release. There's so much to digest and such a definitive presentation. Hook has jumped right to near the top of my all time favourite Williams scores.

This 2005 100% reuse fee really seems like an exercise in cutting ones nose off to spite their face, or shooting yourself in the foot. If no-one can afford or is willing to pay an orchestra 100% of their original fee for re-use of the music, then no-one benefits. Not the players, the composer, studio and certainly not the fans. It's a broken system.

I'm in the UK and never been charged anything, including for this order.

Looky looky I got Hooky (and a somewhat cracked Zorro)!!

I've got a bad feeling about this... Just watching some of the newly updated master of Aliens on Apple TV. Terrible. Everything is now unnaturally smooth while also being uncannily sharp. Basically, it looks like AI images. Cameron is using Park Road Post for these remasters, Peter Jackson's post facility that created the ghoulish looking "Get Back" series. It's a shame if The Abyss ends up looking similar given that there isn't an existing Blu-ray to fall back on but I'll definitely be sticking with my existing disc for Aliens!

Employee2 is my favourite person right now

My Super Deluxe Edition arrived today and Disc 4 is fine. Looks like I was one of the lucky ones!

Could including the vocal version of Presenting the Hook as the final track be a cheeky wink to the community that's been shouting "give us Hook!" for so many years?

Bought this set based on what you said here having never heard a note of it or seen a frame of the documentaries. It arrived yesterday (very quickly, along with their Silence of the Lambs release). You are absolutely right. Gorgeous music! Thank you!
