Dr. Rick

Which inspired this hilarious scene from Shrek 2  
 
 
 

Just received my set from Amazon, read through the booklet last night and just starting to listen to disc 1.  I'm sure it's been discussed already (not going through 12 pages of the thread) but Jabba the Hutt is listed as track 6 when in fact it's track 8 on the disc lol.  Minor annoyance aside, it is truly a well-done set in terms of presentation.  The sheer size and weight of the box set makes it feel like a coffee table book more than a CD box set.

I really, really want Catch Me If You Can.

Glad to report that Heidi and Jane made it home safe. Although they did pick up some sketchy company along the way.

My pictures while examining those sheets.  Was such a thrill to hold the original, hand written full scores!  

 
Three piles, A New Hope, Empire Strikes Back, and Return of the Jedi.

I don’t think there is anything but his music that people should learn about John Williams, by simply listening to it. This level of obsession about another person - any person for that matter - is nothing short of toxic and borderline neurotic. Just listen to the man’s music and stop analyzing every single thing he said and did, like he was Jesus. The guy even dresses like JW, he looks like an obsessed person. And he is supported in this obsession by some people like it was a normal thing. The amount of time and money he must be putting into worshiping another man is crazy. I really feel sorry for this guy for not finding something truly meaningful in his life other than worshiping a 92-year-old American composer.
Pathetic and revolting.

Yes finally!

Wonder if this release bodes well for a BOT4J 35th anniversary expansion coming this July?
 
There's been quite a few instances where pairs of Cruise/LLL expansions are released within the span of a few months, likely due to Cruise approving their artwork at the same time (and he's a busy guy, so I imagine that only happens once or twice a year).

Thanks for posting, great information from Mike!  Sounds like more JW scores from UMG are in the pipeline...  BOTFOJ, CMIYK, Terminal perhaps?  Fingers crossed!

Other takeaways-- Hook expanded edition is selling like hotcakes and may be 80% (or more) sold out already... and MM hasn't begun working on Star Wars expansions yet. (Or maybe he has and he's really good at hiding that fact. But the way he spoke about SW as a project he'd like to work on doesn't sound prepared. I think he really hasn't been given the green light yet for that one.)

A new interview from what looks like late last year that lasts 1.5 hours with Mike taking about his work through the years. 
 
The interview starts around 36 minutes in.
 
 

That’s not the point…. The issue is the constant changing of original established characters, whether it’s race / gender / sexual orientation.  Maybe the writers should create new characters that fit their agendas instead of swapping up existing established characters, what a concept!
