There is a documentary with cartoon John Williams on the poster. https://www.imdb.com/title/tt13660266/?ref_=tt_mv_desc
This is cartoon John Williams:

This is my #1 favourite John Williams score vs my #2 favourite John Williams score, so voting for The Lost World for most of the time means nothing.

There's also the German title which translates into "Death Melody".

@BrundleflyAh we have more than just 2 articles in french hehe.
- > Les articles indéfinis : un, une, des.
- > Les articles partitifs : du, de la, de l', des.
- > Les articles définis : le, la, l', les et les articles définis contractés : du, des.
The red ones are all non-existent in English and in German!
However, we have the funniest four cases-gender-chart:
Nominativ: der/die/das - ein/eine/ein
Genitiv: des/der/des - eines/einer/eines
Dativ: dem/der/dem - einem/einer/einem
Akkusativ: den/die/das - einen/eine/ein
I'm happy that I don't need to learn that overcomplicated shit.
The English version is quite boring in comparison:
subject: the/the/the - a/a/a
indirect object: the/the/the - a/a/a
direkt object: the/the/the - a/a/a
genitiv not available for articles

I guess people get gender wrong in the same way people get spelling wrong, but I suppose your brain just learns the gender of common words without you thinking about it consciously. I guess it must be a challenge where the gender of a word in your language is different in another language?!
It is, having different articles for nouns in your native language doesn't make it easier to learn another language with several articles. Luckily, French which I learned at school only has two and not three of them.
Sometimes, there is even confusion among Germans about the correct article. Many people here think that "das Kommentar" is correct, but it actually is "der Kommentar" (meaning: commentary/remark). This misunderstanding originates from the frequently used saying "Kein Kommentar" (meaning: no comment): The word "kein" in this form could refer to something male or neutral, so you can incorrectly deduce from this saying that "Kommentar" is neutral.
We even have some terms that change their meaning if you change their article:
das Schild = (traffic) sign
der Schild = shield

In English, since these nouns are the general concepts of life and death, we'd say "Dark is life, is death" with no articles.
In short: The rule of general concepts not requiring an article is a case by case matter in German.
Two more examples:
I love nature./Nature is beautiful. = Ich liebe die Natur./Die Natur ist wundervoll.
I hate war./War is terrible. = Ich hasse Krieg./Krieg ist schrecklich.
The latter example works like in English, however, only if you refer to war in general.

I'm a little bit shocked that Sugarland Express occurs on so many lists - it is an early movie of his, but it is very skillfully crafted.

Aren't 3 potential Villeneuve-directed movies more than enough?
They are!

John David Washington is the man! He's proven that he looks great in fine suits and is able to deliever superb one-liners before he beats up all the bad guys.

If I would have to pick my 5 least favourite movies it would probably be some of his newer ones, so I'd rather try to pick his movies that I think are objectively his weakest efforts:
- Hook
- Always
- West Side Story
- 1941
- Ready Player One

Those are awesome! That guy should be hired by Intrada and Varese Sarabande!

Cool! After 2022, there's little OSTs left in my Goldsmith collection:
Hollow Man, The 13th Warrior, L.A. Confidential,Matinee,Rudy, Medicine Man. -
Has anyone ever had any kind of issues with this kind of DAC like a sudden but constant dynamic compression?

Jackie Brown - 25th anniversary screening of Tarantino's third flick, an adaptation of Elmore Leonard's Rum Punch. QT dials back his usual schtick a bit (only 4 deaths in a 2-and-a-half hour runtime, none of them particularly bloody or brutal) to deliver a highly entertaining crime caper with a terrific cast (Pam Grier, Samuel L Jackson, Robert De Niro, Robert Forster, Bridget Fonda and Michael Keaton).
His most beautiful film for sure!

Anyone here knows the album You Won't Get What You Want by Daughters (not Daughter)? It's an amazingly terrifying trip!
Unlike other noise rock there is a special immersive force there and a pleasant presence of some elegiac harmonies.

In general, this is part of a worrying and ongoing privatization of musical gems and their legacy - this copyright and licence shit misses the mark of the natural process of music getting rearranged, adopted and evolved completely - regardless of whether there is acceptable official sheet music out there in this case or not.

I know, it has become kind of an awful tradition that my first post in a thread announcing an expansion is a complaint about the album cover - oh nevermind, what the actual fuck is this?!

Hollow Man is brilliant. It is often lined up among his late auto-pilot scores, which is ridiculous.

Trailer features has become a strange thing nowadays. Not only completely unnecessary with such a lot of material round the Internet, buzz and tweets, but also because they are usually suited as the same kind of feature: generic music (with nod to popular theme if we are talking about a sequel or whatever), false epic feeling (I mean, have you seen those European films artsy trailers? They are awful selling you the ultimate movie when that's not the point), spoilers sometimes, etc.
There was a time when trailers were as valuable as the film itself and was a real introduction letter (even with pieces of the original score). But hey, film experience today doesn't really exist at all.
A much appreciated film critic once said, movie trailers originally served to tell the potential viewer that they're about to see something exciting and entirely new, whereas nowadays trailers assure their viewers that all they're about to see is well-known already and nothing is gonna take them out of their comfort zone.

I usually don't watch trailers at all - now I did it once and immediately regret it.

To me, The Life of David Gale has never been about the death penalty and only used that topic in order to reflect on martyrdom.

The Power of the Dog
I really liked this movie a lot. It sure is quite the slow-burn, for a long while I wasn't jiving with the movie much, and was wondering where all this was going. But then, the ending came. It was so unpredictable, and in retrospect, so satisfying, that it really made me appreciate the movie as a whole. This is one of those movies that I didn't sit there wowwed when the end credits starting, but stewing on it as time went on led to me really appreciating it.
That or Dune were the best movies of 2021 to me - I experienced the movie in a similar way, being overwhelmed (and I really mean it) only a couple of days after I had watched it.

Maybe, you should wait for a Deluxe Edition of this score which seems imminent, given the fact that this is one of the last essential Goldsmith scores from the 90s that isn't expanded yet.
And by the way, this is one of the best films of all time and it makes me happy that Goldsmith was on board such a great cinematic project in his late career. He absolutely deserved it!
