    Consider my tomb raided.

    That's beautiful man. And depressing.

    I know, I was talking about the Boal and that oldest of coots, KK.

    I haven't seen any more than one or two people actually enthusiastic about something, except when the DOS score was released. Bunch of angry old coots!

    So, no one else wants to discuss this without resorting to the usual "John is always genuine, he rocks!" truisms?

    Heh, but am I talking about Jason or Obama?

    Typical abuse of power!

    Yeesh this place becomes a drain on the soul after a while.

    Been listening to a lot of his more "spacey" music lately.

    Lemony snicket sounds like a delightful dessert.

    Political discussion is not allowed on JWFan!

    SDTRBY? Yes. And considering all of the griping in this thread about how glum today is compared to our glorious yesteryear, it seems appropriate to lament the butchery of written (and even spoken) language that has resulted from internet speak.

    My brain works best on its own. We can't all be master improvisers or computer wizards like Hans.

    ...what does WRT mean? Is it "with respect to"? Are we seriously to the point where we're abbreviating whole phrases?

    Came here to say that too. Very strange. I am however quite excited for the real trailer.

    They're all perfect! You're all cynical poo-heads!

    Ah ha, I like that!To be clear I'm not saying one thing or another is insincere or dishonest. I'm just wondering what people think is his *most* sincere or honest music. Again, I'm not implying anything as absolute as you think. My own feelings on this aren't fully formed, hence the thread to discuss it.

    Ok.

    I suppose it's difficult to really get across what I'm asking, because it's dependent on abstract stuff. I'll give it a try with a choice of my own. The Blue Fairy theme comes to mind for me. With a theme, the most basic thing a composer has to do is capture an idea in music, describe something with sound, but in this case, it feels like he does more than that - it feels like he genuinely understands what he is describing, that he went to a place in his own mind where he could completely identify with David in that moment, and the resulting music is what he felt, not just an external impression of the feeling. Does that make sense to anyone? I feel it heavily all through AI, and also in Heartwood. The big fanfares and stuff may be what is most identifiably Williams to the general ear, but I've never felt that any of those transcend (great) craftsmanship, nor would they unless you have a composer who is an extremely bombastic, extroverted individual. John is definitely not.

    Maybe things like those, and the big film fanfare themes, are characteristic. But characteristic is not necessarily genuine. I guess I should add that qualification: which piece do you feel is most honest, most painstakingly pulled from the depths of Johnny's soul?

    Film composers are often described as being "chameleons." They react to each new film in a unique way, and each requires its own musical approach. They draw on a thousand years of Western musical tradition, and a lot more beyond that, to provide the ideal musical reflection of a film. John obviously has many detectable influences, but like any great composer, he is of course his own man. Listening to his concert pieces, you can get an idea of his "voice" at its most pure, but they are also touched by external influences. So, which of his works, whether for the cinema or concert hall, do you think are his most unique/innovative/personal? What has John written that absolutely no one else could have written (ignore the urge to argue with the nature of that question or to just say "everything")? Or if you're more academically inclined, substitute specific techniques or mannerisms for general works.

    That's perverse. It should be key lime pie.

    Ugh. That picture... but not for the reasons you think. Something about the way my parents raised me and my siblings caused us all to have excessive empathy for fictional entities, and inanimate objects. I find it hard to hate Jar-Jar because of that. I look at that picture, and all I see is a simple, innocent creature, who is terribly and wrongly loathed. Reminds me of this one time when I was maybe 6 or 7 years old, at the toy store looking for an R2 figure, and breaking down in tears when I couldn't find one, because I felt that meant no one else cared about him. ....I should go to bed.
