Diego got a reaction from Brando in The Unofficial "Jaws - The Sequels" Thread
Jaws 4 is so bad it's good. It's one of those movies you just have to watch to believe.

Diego got a reaction from _deleted_ in The Rise of Skywalker SPOILERS ALLOWED discussion thread
It sure sounds like a mess, it seems they’re trying to save face with the whole “we had an idea to where the story was going” and “it was always the plan to bring back Palpatine”, to the point where Kennedy has said that the problem with Trevorrow was that he wasn’t at the early planning of the trilogy. When in reality it looks like Rian Johnson hated the Force Awakens and its very OT status quo of an old evil master and an apprentice who is conflicted between the light and the dark, so he said f*ck it and killed Snoke. Now JJ is back and it looks like he hated The Last Jedi and suddenly with nothing in the previous two movies about it, Palpatine is back and he is a grandfather now. With no build up at all. The dead are talking says the opening crawl. Just awful.

Yikes! Sounds like the leaks were true. Disney really couldn’t have done a worse job with this trilogy.

I think what you’re meant to understand is that Williams normally doesn’t do double CDs and chooses what music he wants you to have.

Didn’t arrive for Christmas, but the ordeal is over after terrible service from all parties involved.
All in all, not a bad holiday haul though, now just need time to listen to it all!

So, my HP box seems to be lost in limbo, terrific.

If a few additional hands for the holiday shopping season meant a 100 dollar mark up per HP set, well, let’s just say I should have asked for a job at the LLL warehouse last time I was at LA.

Diego got a reaction from Josh500 in Harry Potter - The John Williams Soundtrack Collection 7CD boxset from La-La Land Records (2018)
To the frontier sure, but to Mexico City they're actually about the same, LAX to Mexico City is 3 hours by plane and MIA to Mexico Cityt is like 3 and half hours. Anyway the thing is, this service I'm using, Mail Boxes, Etc, is located in Miami so I had to have it sent there. It seems pretty secure which is more important than speed with an item of this price. There are a lot of horror stories of regular mail, which is what LLL would have used from LA.

Diego got a reaction from bollemanneke in Harry Potter - The John Williams Soundtrack Collection 7CD boxset from La-La Land Records (2018)
I ordered it at around 12:45, since that was the day I arrived at LA, and at exactly 12 I was speaking with the migration officer, so it wouldn't have been a nice thing to say "can this wait, I need to see if the HP set is up already?", so I ordered it on the cab to the hotel and also had never used paypal before. Anyway, mine changed to awaiting shipping yesterday, so you'll be fine I think.

I was so happy with the Concorde box set, going from the TOD 40+ original LP to what we have now is amazing. TOD is in my top 5 so I'd welcome a complete release, but I'm more than ok with the Concorde set.

Tell me about it, even a regular $19.99 CD that a couple of years ago would have been automatic buys are now like a decent amount of money over here. That coupled with the difficulty of getting such releases here is disencouraging.
I love LLL and they've done a terrific job (I love their Williams, Batman:TAS sets and more), but I kinda wish this had been a joint release with Watertower music (or whatever WB label is) so I could buy it from Amazon, which is extremely reliable with shipping.

Diego reacted to Uni in Jerry Goldsmith's Top 10 Scores
. . . And already, things are off to an interesting start. This list is (so far) only slightly more predictable than Horner's list was as it evolved.
For those of you who are listing things "in no particular order," splitting lists, etc., I can only score them in the order you list them. If you want to make changes based on this understanding, feel free to; otherwise, they get tabulated as listed.
He didn't really score Voyager, and Soarin' isn't technically a film work . . . but I added them nonetheless. (Not like they're much of a threat to the top 10, which would require a regulations committee to make some kind of ruling.)
Without further clarification, I can only assume your #8 is The Motion Picture (given that he scored five films in all), and your #9 is the sequel to First Blood.
Remember when I told you you're unique? You just proved it, by being the only person who hasn't put in a vote for ST:TMP. Congrats!
Feel free to amend your list (especially to add this score!).

Welcome back! Strange to see so many old posters return because of this.
