Of course it's easier when you cheater have been listening to it for weeks before us

We've been bugging Jay for quite some time to collect his spreadsheets in a separate topic!

The point is that Rowling went out of her way to create a backstory for her outside of the books, involving some unrequited love for a Muggle if I recall correctly, but now that work is thrown out the window for a minute-long fanservice cameo.

So, some of you must know about this weird effort famously dissed by Tolkien (or not) - Boorman married Aragorn to Éowyn, make Frodo have sex with Galadriel, Gimli is putinto a hole and beaten until he can remember the password for Moria among other gems, ultimately reworking some of his concepts into 1981's Excalibur (an Arthurian story was actually his first plan before UA suggested him LotR instead, so it came full circle). The 176 page 1-movie-script was considered lost to the ages as far as I know (?) Well, not anymore, shared from an unnamed source on a Hungarian Tolkien fangroup, here's the script, may be interesting: http://cinetropolis.net/wp-content/uploads/2016/02/Lord-of-the-Rings.pdf?fbclid=IwAR3VvjvVTD7bQeO9zVTTa0iM-poeiqQ3aGRJOyOF4W4acCIa8XgN1tbstm8 Haven't read it yet myself but possibly will.

Looking forward to reading Beren and Lúthien and Fall of Gondolin eventually, and will start Lays of Beleriand soon.

Annd shipped. Only a day or two now. Will I be the absolute last one to the party?

Why is your avatar what it is?

Mine, too.

Damned latin friars naming us after an unrelated nomadic pillager group!

Hardy har har

Hungary.

Still, the blood pact is his heart's truest and most secret desire? Wouldn't it show them not making it or the results of them not making it if that's really the most important thing to him at the time?

Did she just decide only the movies are canon now? Guess it'd fit with that fanfiction play.

The Ballad of Buster Scruggs A pretty good collection of short stories. They all build on and relate to each other in some aspects, while being distinctly different in others (purely visual storytelling vs. dialogue-heavy stories for example). Very pleasant and likeable overall, quite funny at times.

The Producers (1967) Some aspects are quite dated (first 22 minutes inside a single room, what are we in, a classical theatre? some casual objectification and crossdressing jokes, but nothing offputting) and the script could be more efficient, but still really, really funny! The leads are a hoot, the ideas themselves are fun, and I've never actually seen the whole Springtime for Hitler sequence or even the whole song, which is pure gold. Prisoner of Azkaban If we do get the score, I refreshed my memory on what to look forward to. If not, at least I just heard them in-film. It cuts out a great amount of backstory and characterbuilding, but otherwise the Shrieking Shack would've been 30 minutes long. It's a necessary evil for a flowing movie, and everything crucial to the plot is still there, it's astonishingly well streamlined. Of course its use of visuals is great when compared to the rest of the series. But the most important is overall it manages to capture the spirit and themes of the book: a tad introspective episode of Harry confronting the shadows of his past and some of his own, and ultimately being able to find the good within and channel it. Featuring the most Dumbledore-y cinematic portrayal of Dumbledore in the third act.

Any mockups of those few unused bars floating around? Are they much different? Are we off-topic enough?

You mean 12M2 End Titles bars 52-72 (source: your spreadsheet https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/e/2PACX-1vRtrG_j5LEL5dTl9Ehw0aHE4IUm9AgofiJ8I-RXnVIJlski4kmPR6qLSWVPiUW_ltSaC79ZEZ9OYzl7/pubhtml), which most would probably count as an alternate, since it was replaced with a used and released insert, 12M2x? What's the source for the early versions never having been recorded, Matessino's SE notes?

I watched the movie 2 days ago and the bell when transitioning between Stormy Night and the birdy flute is just perfectly placed rythmically. I love when scores and SFX work in tandem ike that, strengthening each other instead of continuously fighting for complete dominance.

It's infuriating to think that if they would've posted it within 7-8 hours of starting to prepare it, and the priority mail is really priority mail, I could be listening to it this very moment. But no, preparation still in progress.

Meanwhile MusicBox has been preparing mine for 24 hours now.

What? One of the patronus cues (finale?) has what sounds like "escaping dementors" or "pulsating light beams reaching the camera" sound effects.

Oh, you say the brawl scene never lead directly into the street chase from the script stage? Let's not restart this, it was stupid. These Dracula relocations seem much more tolerable than that. I didn't even plan my previous comment to refer to yours but Pub's.

You mean the scene having been spotted for a big sprawl of music and the composer imagining that one big piece which was always envisioned as and intended to be heard as one big piece but writing and recording it in bits out of convenience?

In AUJ:EE, when Bilbo goes down to the market and thinks a folded cloth is Gandalf's hat, was the music tracked entirely from Bag End, with the part where Bilbo looks for the Ring (or in this one, sees the "hat" and runs) sped up, was it rerecorded, was anything else planned and tracked over, or was just that panic-y portion mildly rearranged, sped up and rerecorded?

I hear even those get the characters and lore better than the fanfic that ended up as a canon play.
