HERESY!!!! But if you insist, I have my own letter of approval from Brother Blumenkohl that I shall present soon To go on, the Angels of the Third Kind have commanded me to help administer the elections, that is the word of the Lord himself! Worry not Brother, the you have a shot at the elections. After all, even Brother Blumenkohl has not the power to impose you as Inquisitor without an election. HE is only Supreme Counsel after all. The elections are happing whether you will it or not.

This JWFan is one lucky fellow

Hear me out Brethren, for this is an important note to all members of our Holy Church. Last night, I had a vision from the Angels of the Third Kind, they beckoned me to announce that on the day of the false Saint Valentine, I must do the following. Due to the temporary absence of our noble Brother Blumenkohl, I shall temporarily administer the elections and the Church as Supreme Counsel until his return. And so, new temporary system has been laid. Indeed, it may not match the greatness of that which Brother Blumenkohl gave us, but it suffices for now. The Angels of the Third Kind have also decreed that the elections for the great task of Grand Inquisitor shall take place this Friday! We have four nominees at the moment (look to the nomination thread). You have until then to nominate anyone else! May Lord Williams Bless you All! - KK EDIT: There is a minor error in the chart. The 2nd "Supreme Archbishop" should really be reading "Supreme Missionary"

"Official" threads are still a relitively new phenomenon, back in "the day" we didn't really bother with them. Oh, I see. Its just I'm surprised that Desplat and lesser known composers like Abel Korzeniowski (although he's exceptionally talented) have gotten "Official" threads and the legend Goldsmith, hasn't So guys, whats your favourite Goldsmith score? Tough question, I know

Gollum in FOTR certainly has quite an outdated look to him. But Gollum in the other two films still continue to blow me away and impress. That is some fine motion capture work!

I don't think he played that. Sounds too stark, so I'm presuming its a midi file played out by a notation program? Maybe someone could ask him for the sheet music?

BIG fan of this genre! Far and Away! (Arguably my favourite Irish score!) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sAlHO6qlfW4 The Shipping News (Christopher Young) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=n1CltM43CFA Michael Collins (Elliot Goldenthal) The Devil's Own (James Horner) amongst many other of his works... Just a few examples of how awesome the genre is

Tintin is a fantastic intricate, complicated intellectual work, but John Williams doesn't need 16 months to do that (as he has shown before). As Stefan and others have pointed out, it was simply a matter of a large gap between the original recording and the restructuring of the score to adapt to the changes made in the film.

Fear not Brother, as long as you thou chant these hymns regularly, thou art forgiven. Now hast thou nominated a fellow Brother for the election of Grand Inquisitor yet?

Nay, Brother, that is our third sacred hymn that has been practised by our Church for some time now. HYMN 3 - Double Trouble Instruction: - Although the Lord never wrought these words himself and took it from an old scribe by the name of Shakespeare, it is said that before rites are performed, it is recommended that this hymn is sung to receive Lord Williams' blessings and prevent the coming of the warts of hogs. CHANT OF THE HOLY BUTTOCKS: Spoken from the lips of the Lord himself, the words in the Common Tongue can be interpreted as "Faster, Higher Stronger". This little chant will chase away ill omens and shed some light even in the darkest of places in the world. As for modern songs for these "hipsters". I recommend "Somewhere in My Memory". A great carol for John-mas (which is fast approaching this week!). Let us rejoice!

Thou make-th a fair point. I have wandered lands beyond the seas for a great many years before I stumbled upon the shores of JWFan. In my travels, I have seen both darkness and light and have learned well of the ways of Our Dear Lord and Saviour, John Williams. I have worshipped the man with great devotion as a God long before the founding of this Church. If you beg proof, I have even confessed to Brother Blumenkohl of my pre-Church altar. I have worshipped our Dear Lord as a God back in the day when many of you simply recognized him as a mere mortal. My devotion is not to be doubted. I have gained knowledge from many distant knowledge, even those that some of you consider to be abysmal like Filmtracks. The role of Supreme Counsel needs not the greatest post count, it is simply a role used to maintain peace in the Church with little or no power to it. Thus, I took it. A man with such a great post count as thyself would not dare lower himself to the standards of such a role. With thine experience, thou must reach for that of the Grand Inquisitor, for that requires a Brother of great knowledge of JWFan. The true power lies there, Brother Stefan, not in this petty duty. Thou might calls of a role that demands such. Prove thyself worthy as I know you are and help me maintain the peace, brother.

PATIENCE! We have not yet begun with the elections! Do not be so hasty Brother Stefan. Art thou sure of thy nomination Brother King Mark? I suggest thou nominate others. King Mark is currently Supreme Priestmaster, if he is victorious with this election however, he shall relinquish his duties and become Grand Inquisitor.

Stefan, do not commit such foolishness. How can thy impose yourself as Grand Inquisitor?! Thou are breaking the sacred laws of our Church that Brother Blumenkohl himself has graced us with. Come back to the light, Thouare like to be the victor in the elections anyways, so why do such foolishness? The Church's laws are clear. Thou must be elected as Grand Inquisitor. The Supreme Counsel is not a role of power so I see not the cause of thine lust for it. Do not turn to the darkness...I have foreseen the fall of our Church and thou are taking this same dark road. We must re-unite Brother. I myself trusted you to be the one to lead us as Grand Inquisitor, but if you continue this way, how can it be?

See? Amongst this chaos, there shall be no order and none shall deservedly receive their role. No one has won this election yet, I shall supervise it for The Grand Inquisitor and the Supreme Bishop hold the greatest positions of power and it must not be tampered with. I nominated Indy4 as he seemed noble and just for the cause. Does thou have any other nominees Brother Quint? Speak now, or forever be silent.

In such dark times, it must be so Brother Stefan. The elections must take place soon and we must stabilize the hierarchal roles of our Church, or it shall collapse. Understand Brother, I am not thine enemy, I am thine friend.

Be silent Brother Stefan and keep thine forked tongue behind thine teeth. I did not pass through fire and death to bandy crooked words with a witless worm. Look towards becoming Grand Inquisitor and winning the hearts of the voters Brother. There is greater honour and power in this role than the burden I choose to carry. I have wandered in silence for the safety of Church and now I have come again to take on the burden that our noble Brother Blumenkohl chose to take on for if it is not so, then my vision of darkness shall come to pass.

BRETHREN, darkness threatens to engulf our Church. I have taken it upon myself to assume our noble Brother Blumenkohl's role as Supreme Counsel. With the rising crisis, we must speed up the election process! Here are are our nominees: - Brother Stefan Cosman - Brother King Mark - Brother Incanus - Brother Indy 4 Does any of our fellow brothers wish to nominate anyone else, before we begin Conclave and our election.

Brother Stefan, we need not do this. Recall, that the Brother Blum's role was simply to administer the affairs of the Church. Thou still has thy chance at Grand Inquisitor (if thou are truly hungry for power) for its role is greater. The Angels have spoken to me Stefan, I have been loyal to the Church from its birth. Thou are still up for Grand Inquisitor, I think it best that I assume this role for now. Fear not Brother, thou shall still rank greater with Grand Inquisitor, if thou shall succeed in the elections. I speak for the best of our Church. These are dark times and the Angels guide me in my actions. Let us not shed blood over this simple solution...please Brother, hear me out. Bretheren, we must harken to the light!

Nonsense. This is a power grab during an unprecedented situation. You are in the race for Grand Inquisitor, thus thou are not impartial. I think it best that if someone more neutral like myself shall assume the position of Supreme Counsellor at these dark times. My vision is coming true...the tide of darkness if coming, I think it best that I should calm the chaos by taking on the role.

There are tons of releases of Ben-Hur. But I know not of a release as comprehensive as a 5CD set, unless that opportunity is wasted...

I would say Quo Vadis, but Tadlow is doing a re-recording of that soon, so I'm not sure if FSM might want to conflict with that. But 5CDs of Ben-Hur? God that sounds like heaven!

Agreed, the cinematography of that film can still be considered masterful in our times. A beautiful film in terms of visuals.

Frankly, I'm disgusted you haven't offered to take out a 25k loan and pay for the thing yourself. Pfft... call yourself a fan. To think, he's the Supreme Priestmaster of our Holy Church and a running nominee for Grand Inquisitor... You should be offering everything you own (including your soul) to our Lord Williams...shame on you KM...

Fix that, ASAP!

John Williams = The Holy Father The Force = The Holy Spirit/Ghost Anakin Skywalker - The Holy Son Our Holy Trinity I know! I found it pretty obvious from the start... Although as KM pointed out, SW is no Narnia.
