Whoever said KOTCS is an autopilot score needs to disconnect the soundtrack from to movie to which it belongs.
The movie was bad, but the score is full of highlights.
What are the highlights according to you?
Indiana Jones is probably my favourite series of movies and scores.
But the music to the fourth movie doesn't really work for me either.
Best bit is the unreleased ending to The Jungle Chase ("Ugh, Vines!").
There's something about the brass that sounds 'off' too.
That seems to apply to most modern Williams adventure scores.
But it bothers me the most in Indy.
It kind-of sounds alien instead of earthy like it used to.
(I'm no fan of the alien angle to that story. At all...)

Darth Sibelius!
-
Dinosaur, Atlantis: The Lost Empire, Treasure Planet and Hidalgo.
All pretty darn solid adventure scores.

Thanks very much!
I'll see if I can look some of those up
27 minutes ago, Jay said:The Good Place (All 4 seasons have finished airing and no more are being made, only seasons 1-3 are streaming but 4 should be added soon). Another pretty warm, mostly uplifting show, especially in the latter seasons.
Definitely one of the best comedy shows I've ever seen.
For anyone else reading: strongly recommended indeed!
28 minutes ago, Jay said:The Orville (Basically a modern update of Star Trek: The Next Generation, with more comedy. If the first 3-4 episodes turn you off, do stick with it, as those are the only ones with serious potty humor and they go in a different direction after that). Might be exclusive to Hulu, not sure.
Watched them all as they came out.
Love it!
Science-Fiction, Comedy and good, fun, likeable characters.
29 minutes ago, Jay said:Stranger Things (Depends on how strict you are with "dark and dreary" as there is some violence and people die, but generally its a fun 80s nostalgia trip)
I watched the first season and it did absolutely nothing for me.
Completely confused here on why people like it so much.
I wonder if I'd feel different if it had taken the Spielberg influence one step further and gone for a Williams sound too.
Like in the "Edge of the World" Netflix movie with music by Bear McCreary.
I liked that one quite a bit.
32 minutes ago, Jay said:The Mandalorian (most episodes are actually closer to 30 minutes than an hour, but this is a fun Star Wars show that has about as simple plots as it gets)
Agreed!
I like it much better than Rise of Skywalker.
Looking forward to Season 2.

So with the whole world closing down, looks like there will be plenty of couch-time ahead.
But I'm not sure what to do with it.
I feel like I've kind-of run out of fun TV series to watch.
Most stuff on Netflix tends to sound dark and dreary.
And I'm kind-of allergic to that...
Stuff I like in general is upbeat adventure/fantasy with a dash of comedy in there.
Stargate, Doctor Who and The Orville do pretty well.
Lately I got caught up on Lucifer and am almost finished with Good Omens.
So, do any of you have any recommendations to share?
Any stuff to help keep our spirits up this coming time?

Nice one again!
I especially appreciate Hermione's theme reappearing.
That was one of the highlights of Chamber of Secrets.
Really too bad it was used only once in there.
Same with all those other glorious one-off motifs.
I really like you promoting them to proper theme status.
-
I get the impression Williams isn't big on delivering what people expect.
He already wrote the Raiders March.
Why do it again?
Same with a First Order March in the Star Wars sequel trilogy.

The movie I actually thing is fantastic as well. Very well done adventure story with Spielberg showing enormous spirit and dexterity in the staging of several sequences.
Very much so!
One of my favourite films.
I don't think there's a single other one so jam-packed with full-blown adventure.
Infinitely better than a certain fourth film in another series...

JW composed music totally different from the Pirates of the Caribbean. He's a real genius. I couldn't imagine that it was possible to move away from Zimmer style.

They put more effort in this 3 second cameo than the entire trilogy.
Not likely though.
Pretty sure they did put plenty of effort into all of it.

Wow! Did NOT see that coming!
The character finally making her way to live action, I mean.
Never even would've thought of recasting.
Any reason her Clone Wars voice actress wouldn't be a good fit?

34 minutes ago, Jay said:
Amazon France and Amazon Germany still show the same track list, but the track list has now been removed from the Amazon Netherlands entry
We Dutch are the smart ones, of course.

Yes, but it would make this entire corona drama more bearable.
True.
But also:

More wishful thinking.

I was referring to the movie as a whole, but yes, that would certainly be interesting.
Movie on streaming sites? And miss that cinema income?
It would be mighty nice of them. But unlikely...
Also, it does take something away from the experience; doesn't it?

46 minutes ago, King Mark said:
We'll all be dead by May though
That's going a bit far, I think...

Would expect some sort of official announcement first.
And so soon after TROS was in theaters?
But it does say "DISNEY Records" and "2 CDs".
So it could be...
Another re-release of the existing 2 CD sets.

I've actually been just stopping the end credits track when it gets to the main title. Just yesterday I finally got around to making an edit that's actually pleasant to listen to, with the ending of the Rise of Skywalker track from the OST. I also managed to cut out some of the other rehashed material, both from the Finale and the Reunion tracks.
Care to share?
And on the same subject; did anyone make a TLJ end title edit that removes Yoda's Theme?
It doesn't seem fitting to me.

As soon as I saw the title "The Sin," it's predictable what Mando will do.
Predictable isn't bad.
Surprising isn't good.
Should be sometimes the one, sometimes the other.
2 minutes ago, Jay said:Sure. But if Mando knew that, why didn't he ask them for help ahead of time? And why'd they wait so long to start helping him (other than dramatic purposes I mean)
Maybe he didn't know they'd be willing to help?
They weren't all that warm to him earlier in the episode.
And then they only showed up after they realized what was happening, had a council meeting about it and gathered their troops?
Yep, I'm rationalizing again.
It's all for dramatic effect, of course.
-
28 minutes ago, Jay said:
I also didn't fully understand why the other Mandalorians were willing to risk their lives to help him
Friend of mine was confused there too.
My rationalisation: there are so few Mandalorians left.
They kind of have to stick up for each other.
Otherwise they'll all be gone in no-time.

Another one bites the dust.
You think they could do some further script finetuning in the meantime?
Think of extra good jokes?

That's Gal Gadot playing Diana Prince
I mean... poster looks quite psychedelic.
Probably there is a story reason for that?

16 hours ago, Jay said:
This really should have been on the OST and we shouldn't even be needing to work on it like this.
Except that would've put the main title fanfare on the OST three times.
Opening, Lando's Arrival and once again in that end title suite.
I would've preferred it NOT being in the credits.
Not a fan of copied music from elsewhere...

27 minutes ago, Thor said:
Surely, we should be able to crack at the least the yellow-eyed 'alien' thingie? Could it be the advanced robots in A.I.? The aliens at the end of CE3K?
Jawa from the original Star Wars?
4 minutes ago, Thor said:It's criminal that they only allowed 3 seconds for this scene. So much detail lost! But it's in line with the philosophy of the film, a series of rapid-fire references that swoosh past you.
Isn't that with all films these days?
Plenty cool stuff in there that you barely get the chance to take in.
Was like that in the third Pirates of the Caribbean too.

Is that the market place source music?
I quite like that.
Otherwise... your list looks like it maaay be slightly in jest.
