I don't find such etymology convincing. I think it is more likely that i comes from famous people (for example famous composers-performers) autographing ladies' paper folding fans in the 19th century. A woman who was desperately trying to get an autograph could have been refered to pars pro toto as a "fan".
 

 
Fan and fanatic might be an unfortunate pair of "false friends".

The Last Black Man in San Francisco
 
Sumptuously shot, Talbot's San Francisco odyssey plays like a series of vignettes and stories of individuals and community displaced by the gentrification of the city. The core premise is a good one, based on the lead actor's own story and brought to life by an affecting performance. But as these Sundance favourites tend to do, it meanders a bit. Still, it's a confidently directed drama, following the Barry Jenkins tradition of bringing life to rich Black stories. 
 
Oh and the film is scored as sumptuously as it's shot. Mosseri's lovely woodwind and string writing and the Nyman needle-drops add a lot to the film's personality.

Only a JW Fanatic could like BFG!😝
JNH 's DEFIANCE is better than SCHINDLERS*

Not sure. The last two seasons releases came out not long after the they aired, season three went straight to digital. I wonder if CD sales of the last two may have meant it was more commercially viable for them to just put this latest one out digitally? Also, the CD release for series one was a special gatefold package, whereas season two's was a standard jewel-case, so who knows what's up with the releases?

I don't understand the concept of this GIF.
Please explain.
You don't like Horner OR Goldsmith?!!!!😉

John Wheeliams!
 
I just saw the video of the Devil's Dance, from which this clip is taken. Is he repeatedly saying "wow" while conducting?  
 
 

If anything it’s overrated on this forum. 
 
just like the film the highs are great but the lowest are amongst the lowest in the saga. 

That's a very good score.

I didn't like the Jamie/ Cersei or Hound/ Mountain ending either.
But, the scene where Hound convinced Arya to forgo revenge, was classic!
Even the weaker eps had good things.
Another good example : the prelude to THE LONG NIGHT.
Write your own damn scripts. Im sure there is lotsa fan fiction out there that tells the story the " right way".
 
 

The one with added dialogue?

Poseur!😝
It's a good score to a.very entertaining remake.of A STAR IS BORN.
Using VERTIGO was a copout.

He says it's breathtaking... a truly incredible piece of cinema.

I see it says mono on the cover, but apart from that the sound quality is on the level of early 60s stereo recordings.
 
I read somewhere that the reason we haven't gotten a complete remastered release yet, is that Herrmann's widow is asking too much money for it (the master tapes are apparently in her possession).

Two tracks were released by Stylotone in 2017: Prelude and The Murder. They sound very good!

LLL usually has a 25 percent off sale first week of Sept.
Just saying.😊
That's why I only program 5 tracks!

BLACK BEAUTY is beautiful.
MILK also has some quietly affecting m7sic!

Yeah, he did amazing work on the SW demasters! *cough*

"Adventure on Earth-?ET. Suite"
 
I just can't enjoy anything other than the amazing ORIGINAL.
 
It's in the l9nger version I believe.
NETFLIX has a mini series version up.
Iirc this plays at the very beginning as a sort of ' prelude' over scenes of mountains and forests covered in snow!

The biggest stretch of missing music was between Rodan and Mass Awakening. And it didnt sound that necessary to me anyway.

The Amazing Spider-Man by James Horner. It might not necessarily be the greatest thing ever but at least you get a sense you're in a hands of someone who knows what they're doing. So many of those superhero scores don't really sound like anything at all but Horner managed to fulfil both the requirements of the modern blockbusters as well as sneak in some human emotion into this tentpole extravaganza. Unlike many of these things, this score really is centred on characters and their relationship and it actually feels like it goes somewhere dramatically. What's interesting, the majority of music is very intimate and personal which is quite unusual. The obligatory heroic main theme is actually very catchy, and well developed throughout, and I'm surprised they didn't keep it for the sequel. I've seen this film only once and the music almost made it good. Say what you want about where it ranks among Horner's other works, but this score is an example of his masterful storytelling abilities. He knew how to apply modern trends with skill and taste beyond most of his colleagues' capabilities. For all his idiosyncrasies, he was really a treasure.

Stop complimenting him, then he'll never stop!

Better you than some of the other morons here!

Funny you mention this.  WAY back in the late '80s, I saw BEETLEJUICE on video and remember thinking the opening title music was so original and fresh and (quietly) lamenting that JW didn't really write music like that.  Then I saw WITCHES OF EASTWICK and was blown away!  That it was written the year previous was just icing on the cake.  WITCHES was the first CD I ever bought and is still one of my favorite Williams scores.
