1. I don't really care about most of Williams's music even if most of it is good, it isn't good/interesting/compelling enough to make me want to listen to again or add it to my playlist(s). Only about say the best 20% or so of it is really worthwhile.
 
2. Williams isn't even my favourite living film composer - I probably prefer Elliot Goldenthal and Thomas Newman over him, at least Newman over Williams. Williams wouldn't make my top 4 film composers of all time either.
 
Top 4 film composers of all time:
 
Bernard Herrmann
Alex North
Thomas Newman
Jerry Goldsmith
 
Williams would maybe come in at fifth.

A Mattris.... A demon of the ancient JWFan.
 

Considering the vile shit spewed at him by those petty, bitter and entitled fans, I think his replies are fairly reasonable.

Probably leave?  And go where?  And what makes you think I'm trying to get anywhere with you?  You think the ignore button is your ally.  You merely adopted the ignore button.  I was born in it, molded by it.  I didn't see stupid posts until I was already a man and by then they were nothing to me but BLINDING!
 

 

 

 
The last one is my favorite and I think best captures my amusement at what an immense idiot you've turned out to be.

You mean like Satyagraha?
 
 

I'd say the closest antecedent would probably be Herrmann's Vertigo prelude. It shares the contrary motion triplet arpeggios and the same unsettling feeling of creeping inertia or frozen time.
 
 
Here are a few passages from classical works that remind me of the Goldsmith cue, some more obscure than others.
 
 
^ I know the last one's a bit obvious, but I thought I'd throw it in there.

I kind of hear this in English elegiac pastoral music such as Finzi's "The Fall of the Leaf" as it reaches for a climax at 8:46 and then starts to die away.  A really beautiful piece so be sure to listen to the whole thing.
and Rachmaninoff's Isle of the Dead dies irae climax (give this a few minutes because the Rach is reaching one of his long lined climaxes that he's so famous for):
But remember that the late Maurice Murphy was the principal trumpet on all six LSO star wars films and is a huge legend in brass circles because of his big full tone so some of this is letting Maurice do his thing at that big climax but stylistically I find it similar to the Finzi elegy and Rach's Isle.
...which I believe is Stravinsky in full on French mode ala Debussy:

Is it just me, or are people getting more and more stupid as time goes on?

Anyone a fan of shitty old DOSBox games?

The Land Before Time. It's a film inextricably wedded to my early childhood and the score never fails to brings out the tears. Littlefoot running against the rock face chasing what he believes to be his mother, that is in reality only his own shadow, is probably the most profound moment in any Don Bluth film, and one of the highlights of Horner's career.

We must move quickly. Women are relentless. If they are not all destroyed it will be female leads without end.

There should be more scores derivative of later Walton!

Dracula's an awesome behemoth of a score. Surprised to hear hornist's not a fan, considering it's so lush and lyrical. I mean, the only thing I could say against is that it's slightly derivative of some of Walton's later concert works. I'm thinking of his Second Symphony.
 

The Lost World is among the tree worst scores by Johnny. The others are Indy4 and Dracula. Terrible jungle noise.
I cant believe I spent my money again for this. JP is still among the top 100.
