John reacted to karelm in What’s next for JW?
JW's mom lived to be 97 without "being sick a day in her life", dad lived to be 80. By all accounts, he will never retire because he is doing what he would do if he retired which is compose. So as long as he is physically able to, we will get new music from him and that could be for a few more years. Sure his pace has slowed and maybe he would prefer to do more personal projects but I still think we'll have a few more years of new music from our Maestro. I heard from many in the SWIX session that his mind, aptitude, endurance was the same as its been for decades.

Josh is another one of those members who would have been quietly removed years ago under better moderator-ship.

John reacted to Falstaft in Crazy woke Washington Post article claims that John Williams' STAR WARS music "reproduces harmful prejudices in pop culture"...
I was wondering when this article was going to come up on this message-board. I'll say this: film music is a perfectly valid target of cultural & political critique, but it's gotta be, you know... at least minimally engaged with what's been said before. What bothers me so much about this article is that it is so technically inaccurate, and in making its superficial and selective claims, fails to acknowledge any scholarly or critical discourse around these scores whatsoever.
Excuse me? Is this supposed to be some kind bad joke, @Josh500? As someone who has family that perished in the Holocaust, this is about the most repulsive and irresponsible thing I've seen in days. Please consider taking it down.

I don't feel so strongly about TROS to say complete embarrassment, but I had the same thought re: JJ and Star Trek, and ST:ID was my main point of hesitance when JJ got announced as the director.

John reacted to Not Mr. Big in POLL: Best John Williams Score of the 2010s
TROS has emotional weight that Tin_tin doesn't. Tin_tin is mostly just wacky fun music. They're different scores with different strengths

John reacted to Unlucky Bastard in How did you feel about The Rise of Skywalker?
I feel it has terrific sound and picture quality that would make THX proud.

I disagree. The trio theme has this major-key tear jerking quality that you don't often hear in Star Wars scores. It comes close to War Horse/Harry's Wondrous World territory but Williams makes it fit into the Star Wars musical universe.
I'd say it's very fitting for the "last installment" of the Star Wars saga.

He reminded me of Q on his floaty space throne in the first episode of Star Trek: The Next Generation.
