I do like OST track combinations to be maintained when they make musical sense, such as "You Are the Pan". Those two really do fit well together.

For me, it has a really nice variation on Hedwig's Theme that isn't found anywhere else.

In addition, how about: "Ugh, Vines! (Alternate)" from Indiana Jones 4. "Prologue (Alternate)" from Hook. "The Firebolt (Alternate)" from Harry Potter 3. "Sail Barge Assault (Alternate)" from Star Wars VI. "Prelude and Main Title (Alternate)" from Superman.

Michael Giacchino, if IMDB is to be believed.

And that's the truth right there! (Or at least... part of it. )

"Better" is a big word. But "seeing good overcome evil against overwhelming odds" in the media inspires me to keep doing the right things myself, even in difficult situations.

Yup! And (apart from musicals), those are exactly my favourite ones. Especially adventure.

Nope, definitely not. They often feel artificial and fake to me. Even where they seem more realistic, I've already got real life to show realism. I like being inspired to see how real life could be better than it is. I agree with @Chen G.; that does indeed sound very tragic.

I like to be inspired by the media. Sometimes that means being educated by it. Sometimes that means being entertained by it. "Immersion", for me, comes from that inspiration. Dark, dreary and negative content does not inspire me. Therefore I always keep feeling detached from that sort of media.

I've done enough for today. May continue again some other time.

Ah, gotcha. In that case: I'm interested in both.

There is a difference? That's indeed what I was getting at... Well, I'm trying now. Let's see how that goes.

Very cool! But shouldn't Coruscant and Naboo be swapped around for TPM and AotC?

Hey all, Is there a list somewhere on which tracks on the various OST CD releases are concert suites rather than in-movie tracks? Most are fairly self-explanatory, but sometimes it's really quite fuzzy. Any and all helps would be welcome.

Hadn't heard of "Hooten and the Lady" before. Looked it up just now and I suppose that's one more for the to-watch list! At the moment it's difficult to do any quality judgment on Blood & Treasure. The first two episodes were from last week, so it's very recent. I'll be sticking with it for a while, at least.

Huh, what's that?!? And where do you find it?

Until we've got Indiana Jones 5, at least we've got a new TV series to hold us over: I watched the first episode and it's really all the fun adventure stuff rolled into one. Including, but not limited to: - A good but goofy main character - A tremendously cute but decidedly-less-good love interest - Archaeological treasure, - Evil bad guys - Familiar faces - References to all sorts of other adventure movies (some dialog from Star Wars, the "objects in the mirror"-shot from Jurassic Park and Indiana Jones got name-dropped altogether) - An orchestral score by Kyle Newmaster (who, I believe, also wrote music for Star Wars: The Old Republic) Don't expect anything serious, switch off your brain and prepare to smile all the way through!

That!

I was never much into the concept of Game of Thrones. Ended up watching it because my roommate liked it. He gave up somewhere before the end. I made it all the way through. It's not my cup of tea. Sign me up for something fun and adventurous instead!

If there's one series of films I'd like more of, it is Indiana Jones. The concept just begs for it. There's an infinite number of stories that could be told with that idea. And some of them would even be good. (Just not the ones involving aliens... )

Yes! Exactly that.

Last time I watched it, I couldn't help having a massive grin on my face all the way through. It's quite nuts, but also a lot of fun. Underrated, I'd say! Also, "On the Tank" is pretty great.

I wouldn't. I wonder how many people would. Perhaps it's just a vocal minority? Personally, I don't quite comprehend why music fans would be opposed to changes that improve the listening experience. Wow, that's cool! Didn't even know that existed. What (re-)recordings exist of the Children's Suite? I'd be quite interested in a set of as-alternate-as-possible versions.

LOL, yep, pretty much! Though I never was as much into GoT as the rest of the world seemed to be. I prefer characters who support each other, rather than suffering from chronic backstabbing disorder. And oh crap, that can STILL apply to both BBT and GoT!!

I do. It's not as good as it was, but there are still laughs to be had. Not convinced they're finishing it up the way I would've preferred. But I got this far... Might as well finish it.
