Wow, so the top two most famous people according to this list are George Bush, and Bill Clinton, and then third is Paris Hilton.
-
I chose number three, I'm no longer into collecting everything John Williams has composed, I missing a good deal of his stuff even from the 90's and I'm not too bothered about that.
-
I like it, but this is really Williams on auto-pilot. I accidently voted no, when I missed the submit button and pressed no.
-
Yay, so if this is true, then there will finally be a Smaug better looking then that cat in the animated film.
-
I personally really like Horner's new theme, its sounds slightly familiar, but fresh at the same time. I'm sure, however, this theme's going to pop up in future scores.
-
Superman, its just more exciting, barely.
-
I'm personally not one of the big Hermann fans on the board, and of all the Herman scores I have, this is my least favorite, some of the music tends to irritate me.
-
In no particular order:
Desert Chase
Man Against Beast
The Great Chase
Journey to the Island
Bug Tunnel/Death Trap
I could have Done More
Trucking
Escape/Chase/Saying Good Bye
The Magic of Halloween
Hymm to the Fallen

I'm starting late too, I keep missing the melodies
"You need a mother very, very badly" - Hook
-
for the score as a whole, Jaws, I think more people are going to remember its effect in the film alot more then people are going to remember how Star Wars supplemented the film.
-
yes, very enjoyable, even though I too would reccomend some Goldsmith, and I was a bit surprised to see that Jaws was represented.
-
Yep, Disney really likes using John Williams themes in the Soarin Que, it was quite a shock though when I first heard the E.T. end credits, suprising because I wonder how they got the rights to use a Universal theme. You wouldn't happen to know all the songs they use in the Soarin que line would you, at WDW? I've already for sure heard The Land Race, Flying from Hook, the Aforementioned ET, the Theme from Contact, and a cue clearly in Goldsmith's style.
-
just Star Wars, if the special edition release counts as after the orignial run

his cutthroat island was amazing, but nothing of his has really interested me. Yeah he does plagiarize alot off the top of my head I can say Elf sounds alot like the Polar Express, and Zathura sounds like Hook.
I must offer another point of view however. What are the chances that Debney had heard all the other scores and bothered to figure out the chord progressions and use almost hte same melody? What are the chances that most composers we accuse of plagiarism actually commit plagiarism? I would like to offer the theory (which many people seem to forget) that they independently came upon the same idea! WHOA! Yep that's right, they independently came up of the same idea. What are the chances that Debney listens to every single score by everyone else? very few. its just most of tonal music has 7 notes, and there are only so many permutations of them. if you plan to end on a dominant tonic relation, then chances are your melody ends with leading tone-tonic. etcetc.
What is the proof? For one thing, Polar Express (2004) was written AFTER elf (2003). So shouldn't we be arguing that Alan Silvestri copied Debney?
oops, I guess it was the delayed DVD of holiday releases, and in that case the Elf and PE example is mixed up, lol.

for efficiency purposes I would say the computer having everything nice looking, My music theory teacher once made me rewrite a composition five times until it looked nice enough. However, for actualy musical quality just sitting their by the piano would be the best.
-
perhaps we haven't heard it because NBC hasn't had the NFL for a long time, or perhaps he did sneak it in this year.
-
From when he was 43 till he was 52.
-
I can most definitely see use of the electronic choir here.
-
the only time I found MV useful is when watching a sports match, its the only thing that it adds intensity to, mainly because your not paying enough attention to the music.
-
Oops, sorry about that up there, I was in a rush.
Russ Tamblyn was in How the West was Won, as was Eli Wallach, who was in The Good Bad and the Ugly, which starred Clint Eastwood who was in the Eiger Sanction, scored by John Williams.
Don LaFontaine
-
Edward Woodward- Guest Starred in Alfred Hitchcock presents, which was hosted by Alfred Hitchcock who directed The Family Plot, which was scored by John Williams

I'ld have to say MoaG but I haven't heard Penelope
