1977

Btw a lot of people who have seen the entire film, not just the first 20 minutes like what I suffered through, said that the only thing they enjoyed about the film was JW’s score. 
 
You don’t
have to watch an entire film to be able to tell if you like it or not or that in your opinion it’s good or bad. EVERYTHING I know, have seen or heard about Disneyana Jones and the Dial of Destiny feels wrong and meaningless. 
And again, @Jurassic Shark, please stop provoking me. You have your own little Indiana Jones thread, knock yourself out there. Or ask Helena. 
Absolutely!
 

This is a safe space. Feel free to meme.
 

I guess I can post this meme here then (didn't go down too well in one of the other threads) 🤣

I considered that design but thought it would prove too difficult to make into a cover. Not saying it couldn't be done but it would take a lot of work. I revised the second LBT concept above

You first.
If you don’t want to get depressed by seeing one of the greatest movie icons deconstructed, humiliated and downgraded to a sad, old loser, I don’t recommend watching it. There are three great and one OK Indiana Jones films that honour the character. 

Serious question: should I watch DoD? I was going to, then I saw the teaser trailer and it's all been downhill since then. That iso score though, I need that.

It's great!

Given how Indiana Jones was turned into such a depressing, pathetic loser at his old age, he could’ve just killed himself, drinking himself to death or hanging himself with his whip. I mean seriously, guys, what a moronic depiction of a classic character who is known for being one of the most optimistic, strong and lighthearted heroes in film history? Shame on Disney for having made this pos.

The one thing DoD managed to achieve was to make people find new appreciation for KotCS. Maybe that was Spielberg’s intention all along. If so, he succeeded admirably. Because even KotCS is a much better IJ film than DoD. 
I thought I couldn’t possibly find more appreciation for the first three films, but it turns out I can. This garbage Disney film has made me value them even more and feel blessed to own them on physical format and to be able to watch and enjoy them any time I want, and pretend that DoD (and even KotCS) never happened, and my greatest fictional hero riding off into the sunset with his Dad and friends is how one of the greatest cinematic adventures ends.

There's nothing to be disenchanted about with Indiana Jones. It's three awesome movies and a bonus one.
 
The pathetic 2023 Indy parody is lowbrow Disney dreck, and too irrelevant to be in the same category. At most it'll be shown in future classes on the ideologization of modern entertainment, with a sticker "for educational purposes only".

They could have simply recast the role. The controversy surrounding LaBeouf would've easily justified it.

I never had a problem until I read about the SQ issues online. Now I can't unhear it, which is quite frustrating as the Anthology Jedi sounds amazing but misses out on the Jabba material. We needed that 5th disc, dammit!

@Tallguy and anyone else who cares, here you go:
 

 

 

 

 

 
 

Very nice thread, this! <3
 
In addition to the Anthology and Close Encounters ads and various German ones I also have this in my Williams binder that I have been maintaining for more than 30 years now and that some of you saw when you added one of the last pages with all your autographs on the Milano programme (<3):
 

78 minutes of music!  And we were so grateful for it back then!
We have no idea how spoiled we have become with LLL's 153 minute long 2-CD 40th Anniversary Set released in 2017 and reissued in 2022.
JW soundtrack releasing has come a long way in the last 30 years. 

I've wanted that cue "India" for the longest time!
 
So I guess these two Bonds were the titles that didn't make BF.

Music by John Barry
“All Time High” Composed by John Barry
Lyrics by Tim Rice
Performed by Rita Coolidge
Limited Edition of 5000 Units
RETAIL PRICE: $31.98
La-La Land Records, Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer, EON Productions and Universal Music Enterprises proudly commemorate the 40th Anniversary of the 1983 James Bond film OCTOPUSSY, with a remastered and expanded 2-CD re-issue of composer John Barry’s original motion picture score to the film, starring Roger Moore in his sixth turn as 007 and directed by John Glen.
Legendary composer John Barry (GOLDFINGER, YOU ONLY LIVE TWICE, DANCES WITH WOLVES) returns again to the Bond franchise with OCTOPUSSY, delivering another bold, thrilling, dramatic and romantic orchestral score, along with a dreamily smooth and sensuous title track performed by Rita Coolidge. The renowned composer combines his chase-and-action style from the’60s with his more sophisticated, symphonic approach of the late ’70s and early ’80s, giving 007 the best of both musical worlds. OCTOPUSSY – 40th ANNIVERSARY EXPANDED LIMITED EDITION showcases the film’s music in exhilarating fashion, with improved sound and never-before-released material.
Produced by Neil S. Bulk and mastered by Doug Schwartz, Disc One of this deluxe release showcases the film’s Score Presentation and additional music, while a remaster of the original 1983 soundtrack album is housed on Disc Two, along with the CD premiere of the “Extended Instrumental Version” of “All Time High”! The film score on Disc One was sourced from ¼ inch stereo tapes of the film mixes, while Disc Two’s original 1983 soundtrack and the “Extended Instrumental Version” of “All Time High” are from ¼ inch stereo album masters. All of the tapes were newly transferred in high resolution for this set. 
 
This special release is limited to 5000 units and features exclusive, in-depth liner notes by “The Music of James Bond” author Jon Burlingame and sharp art design by Dan Goldwasser.

I think Superman too.
Also, The Birds, but it is a bit hard to hear.  

Hi. You can find 1500×1500 px version in my gallery. Merry Christmas!
 
 

Thank you! I'll echo the above - this are just so interesting! 
And a quick question. Michael said something like "We passed the idea onto John's people and they said yes."
 
How many people does Williams have working for him doing admin, scheduling, fanning him and feeding him grapes in summer, etc.

Godzilla Monsterverse Set (to match Waxwork Records' release of Godzilla: King of the Monsters). All of these use the artwork of Christopher Shy, a wonderful artist. 
 
I believe I've posted the first three before, but I wanted to show off the fourth cover for "Godzilla x Kong: The New Empire."
 
 
 
 

Looks like normal packages to me.

They certainly need to be preserved in some way. Even without music, I might actually prefer that.

I was thinking of making a boxed CD set of them 😜
