Walt's nephew and an instrumental figure in the rebirth of Disney feature animation, Roy E. Disney died on Wednesday from stomach cancer. RIP

"Leaving Home" theme from Supeman. I don't whistle, so I guess I'd say I "play it" internally.

Well, considering how anything associated with lately with Peter Jackson ends up with a multitude of varying releases designed to get you to throw down cash over and over (hmmm...where oh where might he have picked up on that?), I think we will certainly see that score. Jeff- who has multiple releases of King Kong, the Lord of the Rings movies and soundtracks...

I thought of all of the great scores from Herrmann... but then there's the power and total awesomeness of Ben-Hur, and nothing compares. Williams, Rozsa.

Odd, just the other day I popped WotW (1953) into the player and watched the special features with Barry being interviewed. RIP, had a long life.

So Star Trek II isn't anyone's album re-release of the year? How quickly we forget...

I'm glad I never used it too much. And for a brief moment when I read the thread's title, I thought you were saying exeem. Haven't used/seen that in about 4 years!

It's my favorite part of that track. I voted the original album version. After all those years of having that cd (it was the first cd I owned), it's kind of too late for me to hear anything different.

Well, then for that matter, back in '77 when I was 5 years old, I played the 5-note Close Encounters theme on my Fisher Price Xylophone, and John Williams was visiting the house... and the rest is history. C'mon, everybody chip in with their very own NONSENSE stories! :cool: I remember once hearing that Williams lifted Yoda's Theme from this old 1940s Cary Grant movie. As someone before said, it's just the words of talentless, jealous people. Go find what you like, then work really hard at it, then step back and be proud of it. Stop trying to constantly pout over someone else's greatness.

I received an SAE magnet that has Gary Cooper on it. Every now and then, I look over to the filing cabinet next to my desk where the magnet is stuck, and I wonder what the heck it's a reference to, scorewise.

There was definitely a release (a re-recording) of Destination Moon. I have it . As far as War of the Worlds or When Worlds Collide, I've never run across them.

I've noticed a similarity between Capricorn One's main theme and Also Sprach Zarathustra (2001 theme). It would make sense too, a sort of inside joke.

Amen.

I think that TMP was more of a Star Trek movie than the rest. Look at the source material, the original tv series. TMP flows with it, while TWOK (a better movie)not so much so (all about revenge and killing someone before they kill you). My only complaint about TMP is that it's basically a long remake of a TOS episode. I also think that some of the eye-rolling at the long intro to the new Enterprise is due to the whole scene being taken out of context. In 1979, there were fans in the theater who'd waited for ten years, some of them thinking that they would NEVER see Star Trek again. For many of them, that series of shots was justified. Oh, and for a bit of nostalgia, here's a review of the film from back in 1979 by loudmouth SF author Harlan Ellison, from an old sci-fi mag I had for too long.

For some people, that would be it. They could die in peace.

Keep your eyes on Ebay for an Anthology set to pop up. A few years ago, I picked up one for $1.99. No kidding.

I wonder what Gene Roddenberry would think about that cameo... It's a weird sensation, seeing the two worlds together like that. Like if I went to see the Beatles, and there was Gene Simmons on bass.

http://movies.yahoo.com/feature/buzz-log-r2-d2-star-trek.html I don't know if anyone mentioned this rumor back when the movie was out (and I sure as $@ wasn't going to plod through all of the pages of that thread), but apparently with the dvd/bluray release of the film, R2-D2 can indeed be seen. The link above shows where. Why not? E.T. appeared in Phantom Menace, R2 and Threepio in Raiders, R2 in CEot3K, and on and on. R2's a sort of good luck charm.

...what about great movie with the most dreadful score? Could a movie be great in spite of its score? Anyways, how about The Black Hole? That movie was pretty awful, but the soundtrack was good.

...was there even a plot to thicken in the first place?

I recall reading that it was either during the making of ESB or ROTJ that Lucasfilm discovered that there was an info leak to the media, and after investigating it they found that Prowse was the guy talking. I can imagine that he was chastised for that, and that could only have heated things up even more. He did feel insulted that during the filming of the revelation scene in ESB that he was given lines that indicated that Obi-Wan had killed Luke's father; they obviously didn't trust him (they did tell Hamill right before the scene).

Yes, with that insertion of Yoda's theme in the midst of all of that action. I always liked that.

So, you watched Lawrence in order to re-establish your faith in the human ability to create great art. I can see that. For me, I watch movies like Lawrence and Patton whenever I'm feeling a little discouraged. They are both stories of the human spirit triumphing during difficult times. With that, I now head off to the dentist.

And when you return, you will put on trousers and talk of our quaint ways. ENGLISH!!! ENGLISH!!!!!!!!!

I picked up the 20th anniversary dvd edition of ALIEN that way, in a Wal-Mart bargain bin.
