  1. I find his hair unrealistic and unrelatable.

    Anyway, just finished this in 4k. I wish I could see all these Hitchcock films for the first time.

     

    Is it a significant improvement over the 2K?

    They're great of course, but they don't have much of a replay value when you know the plot.

     

    The music, the script, the acting, the wit, the style...

    the acoustics in the huge Telenor Arena weren't much to write home about. 

     

    Agreed, and I didn't write about it.

    And enough with the "great clarinetist" thing already, JS! :D Have you even heard me play?? ;) 

     

    It's the word on the street! :D

     

    Btw, I think you or Thor shared a few recordings of your band's JW concert a few years ago, so I've probably heard you play. ;)

    If each wives allows a certain amount of space for CDs, wouldn't "more wives" be a solution?

     

    That's not allowed where Luke lives.

    I was allowed to put two large CD shelfs into our living room. But I had to promise, this is the space that I am dealing with. When they are full, I can just replace stuff, but not add new CDs.

     

    You'll have to start a Discogs store.

    Are they good? Would you recommend them?

    By the way, recemtly I thought about opening a thread about the question, when was the last time you spend an evening with a score fan friend in real life together at your home listening to CDs, drinking and talking about music? Actually, in my life I had very few occasions like that in my life. Probably mainly because I know currently noone with that hobby close to me living nearby. But when I had these occations these are great memories of joyfull evenings. We don't do that enough. 

     

    The last time I did something like this must have been when I shared a flat with a friend who enjoyed classical music and had a bit of interest in film music. Otherwise the closest would be going out with friends for film music concerts with my city's symphony orchestra, or seeing Morricone in the capitol with @Thor and @Nils, the great clarinettist.

    It's repetitive and redundant. It's very much not like the sonata form:

     

     

    The key point being the resolution in the recapitulation. It's very much not a repetition of the beginning. In many cases, the beginning contains all the seeds for the end (sometimes, the opening bars of the first movement of a symphony form the basis of the coda of the last movement, see e.g. Bruckner). But in between, the material is developed to arrive at the resolution.

     

    If anything, it's more like a classical scherzo with trio in ABA form, where the scherzo part is repeated verbatim after the trio (see again Bruckner). But if we apply that form to a full JW score album, that would be an unusually elaborate scherzo part (itself somewhat approaching the sonata form) with an extremely long trio (the entire bulk of the album).

     

    The only "classical" work I can think of that repeats the opening exactly is Orff's Carmina Burana.

     

    (If you consider this too off-topic for the Patriot thread, feel free to move it elsewhere, but I figured it applies more to this soundtrack album than the other discussion about common reactions to any given new release)

     

    I'd rather compare to the "clean" sonata-allegro form of the classical era. If you look at a Mozart symphony or piano sonata, the recapitulation of the first movement is quite similar to its exposition.
