Smeltington

Going to try and attend this, I'm very excited for the Geisha suite!

It doesn't look like it holds enough popcorn, I need at least a gallon. Unless it can incubate more throughout the movie?

And it only takes ONE to upload them to the internet! So where are they??

So this really was a John Williams score from beginning to end!

Does that mean we can watch it in the digital concert hall? That would be cool.

I still think being a hipster has been on a downward trend for a long time. Unless it's just me that's gotten less hip. But with that said, I do love vinyl! Classic stuff though, not so much new releases.

Sounds lovely and I'm kinda hoping I can make it for that one.

Yes! I put it with the bonus tracks so I don't have to listen to it unless I, for some reason, decide to. It's in that vein for sure! Just not as good. There are lots of other "bumbling" Williams moments in other scores that are better somehow. All the appearances in the actual score are ok. But the concert arrangement is what tells me that I'll never love the whole entire Superman score, no matter how much I warm up to some other parts of it.

Sounds like you would be the perfect person to create a condensed, highlights-only program of the second half for us nonbelievers! I'm thinking of doing this myself, but haven't spent enough time combing through, finding the highlights to include.

I think there'll be a few beautiful moments where we can listen to Prisoner of Azkaban alternates, right before the machines show up to terminate us.

In that case I guess I misremembered. I wonder why, but my wondering isn't strong enough to do any digging. But I did choose to put the OST timing in my edit.

I can't wait til we can get AI to produce audio of unrecorded alternates that will fit flawlessly with the sound and performance of the original recording. And I wonder if those will ever show up on legitimate expanded releases? I could actually see it happening one day. I want to say the only headscratcher decision Mike made on Superman 1 was the unique timing of Kidder's vocals on Can You Read My Mind. I forget if we ever heard the reasoning behind that.

Loving the treatment of the text on this new version!

Now this is a HUGE release! All JWFans on deck! I LOVE how this one is laid out... no doubts that 3 discs were really needed. No OST included, and no dialogue versions. Entire main score plays out in order across 2 discs. And the third disc with tons more material, with the most interesting stuff first, then all the rest at the end if you still want more. These are CDs that I'll actually want to put in my CD player and just listen straight through. Kudos!!

They probably just planned to do ANH anyway and decided they could tie it to the America theme, since JW is a national treasure.
