I ordered it today and it was delivered 6 hours later! I guess they used a Quantum drive to get here.

Wow never heard of that book. Getting my copy now.

Just give me a 9 hour cut in cinemas and I'll wear a diaper.

I suspected those flaws when I first saw it announced at that venue, so I chose not to go. I went there for a Zimmer concert and it was just a foggy, bad sounding building. Felt like an arena, which I hate. I hope it gets a few more performances elsewhere, then I'll definitely go, like the Birmingham Symphony Hall, which is my favourite concert hall in the world for sound, visual beauty, and seating positions. (I regularly sit front row of the choir and am basically sat within the orchestra, and they're the cheapest tickets too, which is hilarious that they think they're bad seats because you're behind the orchestra, when in fact they're the best).

Just saw it. Enjoyed it. An entertaining ride. The classic beginning kill sequence was different and refreshing and well done. It hooked me right then and there. The set pieces are nicely refreshing too, with very different environments to previous Screams. I was shouting internally though, at the utter stupidity of the characters. I thought the last film had the most stupid people, but this was worse. Spoilers ahead - E.g people with guns deciding to walk towards a dark room, instead of just standing there with your damn gun, and if the killer appears, blow his bloody head off lol. Don't walk towards them. Also there was a painful set piece where there were 5 damn characters, 5! vs 1 bloody killer and (not only is the killer completely stupid to confront 5 people directly) but then the characters all run separate ways and abandon each other haha. And directly after a scene of them all talking about being family who stick together no matter what haha. Just team up and instantly kill the guy. It's 5 vs 1 for christ sake haha. Anyway, it was a fun film. But man people sure do love having quiet casual conversations after being stabbed and shot 32 times.

I've decided to take a different approach with this. Instead of listening all the way through all the time, I'm taking it episode by episode, and re-listening to each episode over and over, in order to really seperate them as complete mini-scores of their own. It's interesting going from composer to composer and also from genre to genre. Like an adventure score to a horror score to a mystery score to an action score to a drama score. Of course each episode has all those elements on their own, but still, there's a heavy obvious tone difference between them, and it's fascinating to really immerse myself into each score on its own. It's like having 10 score releases.

I love Seth Macfarlane's passion and showcasing of Williams and film music in general. It's so rare for someone seemingly so mainstream with things like Family Guy, to do such an indulgent celebration of Williams in such a nerdy way. I feel like Seth would be a great member of JWFAN and a joy to talk to about real deep-dive score topics.

Been liking this season so far. Feels like classic South Park from years ago.

Reminds me of that Ricky Gervais joke at 3:05

I heard that the entire Academy score voters came down with a terrible allergic reaction. It started about 10 years ago. Apparently to something called Melody.

He's likely just being nice about it. He also commented on Erik's new podcast episode shitting on the All Quiet score and the Oscars themselves haha. It's a great episode btw, where Erik talks about the utterly hilariously stupid application and selection process for the Oscars Score category, and why the oscars are garbage.

I had no idea he was Hauschka. I remember liking his music years ago. I went to a small performance of Winged Victory for the Sullen in a church with Dustin O'Halloran and Hauschka many years ago.

I don't think there's any logical thought process behind award shows. That's why they're both terrible and fascinating. Hollywood as an entity, however. Good lord, what a hive of scum and villainy.

Best score category has devolved into an allergy to melody. If it's by someone with an exotic name from outside of the U.S then it has to be great...right?

Maybe they should pay tribute to the death of the oscars in the in-memoriam section.

I'm off to sleep now. I'll never quote Jay again out of fear of being banned.

Sorry

I'm trying my best. Have you talked to your doctor?

That's not a nice way to talk about Melissa McCarthy

As someone who isn't watching and is only finding out what is happening via this page, I have to say it sounds bloody hilarious.

And JNH has never won.

The work speaks for itself. Golden statues say nothing.

Should've been Simon Franglen anyway.

Is that another Doctor Strange sequel? My bad, it was an alternate title for Indy 5.

Is that based on the movie 'contagion?'
