Ricardo Mortimer got a reaction from SingeMoisi in John Williams Plagiarizing Himself
The Lost World was Williams best action score. I'm not surprised that he still using model cue for action music until today.

Ha, nice catch! I hear the I-V II-VI similitarity between the two themes, but I highly doubt it was temp-tracked

Ricardo Mortimer reacted to Thor in Joseph Williams impersonates his dad
Well, I lost all my Williams research a couple of years ago in a harddrive crash, but I have most of it stored in my head, and I'm starting to put the pieces back together again on paper as well. I want to save most of this information for my long-gestating book project, but sure -- if it's relevant in a thread, I can chime in with a piece of information or two.

Ricardo Mortimer reacted to Tom in The Adventures of Tintin - Score Only Scenes
The frustrating thing is that Williams did deliver it--he just did not give it a workout in the end credits or give us a concert version.

3rd Video - Flight to Bagghar a.k.a astonishingly fast-paced and "drunk" action music
We've seen highlights of the Unicorn theme and Tintin's theme. Now comes the chance for Haddock's theme to shine. In this standout action cue, a drunk out of his mind, Captain Haddock saves the day with some extremely inebriated heroics. Williams scores from a psychological point of view, as there is all the fast-paced frenzy of a perilous flight through a storm but also the music itself seems to get "drunk" as Haddock gets drunk. Haddock's theme assumes center stage and goes through several variations as the cue progresses.
This cue is chopped up in the film. The magnificent "swaying sea shanty" motif for Haddock actually drinking the alcohol at 0;50 is dialed out in the film for sound effects! Also the film version has an extended insert that ruins the propulsion of the cue which is very tightly constructed.
Editing wise I have matched the film to Williams' original cue length so some editing was required. I have pulled off one major coup in editing. I hope someone notices it!
Syncing wise, Williams outdoes himself. People might call it mickey-mousing but the music is so perfectly matched to the picture that even without dialog and sound effects, you can completely follow the scene only by listening to the music. It literally reflects every single thing that happens on screen! A very entertaining a thrilling action cue.

Ricardo Mortimer got a reaction from Tydirium in Ennio Morricone is complimentary but critical of John Williams in his new book
Morricone's Oscar for The Hateful Eight/The Thing is questionable. The Academy changes the rules of the game every year. Morricone didn't deserve it.
