  1. Surprised
    Brando reacted to Manakin Skywalker in Who all performed on the Return of the Jedi source music?   
    I seem to have come across an interesting development. Someone on one of my "Max Rebo Band" videos commented that in an interview Ben Burtt had said that Ernie Fosselius had worked on all of the source cues for ROTJ. I've just noticed his name on both IMDB and Wiki, and a 2017 article about the scenes casually saying that they music itself was written by John Williams and Ernie Fosselius, with lyrics by Joseph Williams, and Annie Arbogast (who translated the words), and other claims that Ernie Fosselius wrote the Sail Barge source cue.
     
    Does anyone have any additional information about this? I'd never heard of Ernie Fosselius' Star Wars involvement until just now.
     
    EDIT: He's credited on the '93 Anthology set, I just hadn't noticed that before.

    Yes! But depends what locations they visit I guess. None of the scenes shot so far really lend itself to that type of scoring.

    I might ask Mangold if he'll temp the film with existing Indy music.

    Yet if it wasn't for Kathleen Kennedy, we wouldn't have 3 new John Williams Star Wars scores, and probably no 5th Indiana Jones on the way...
     
    Dunno about you, but I don't want to live in a world where Rey's Theme never existed!

    I LOVE IT! It makes me even more excited to see Indy 5, and this is the film I am most anticipated to see next year (the second being Steven Spielberg's next film, The Fabelman's).

    They should release everything so they won't have to release anything ever again.

    I'm going through old posts. How proud of yourself are you for this piece of insight a year and half before The Mandalorian? Has it already been pointed out that you predicted this?

    Deluxe Edition is Varese's branding for a new longer version of a score they'd already released in the past

    Brando reacted to radioflyer in Ended up having dinner with JW's doctor last night   
    I attended a dinner last night, and one of the guests (a neighbor of the host) happened to be the doctor for John Wiliams. We had a great conversation - and I was able to hip him to the more jazzy, early work of "Johnny Williams". 
    Most of the time living in Los Angeles is a drag, but on occasion the planets align just so and you get to have dinner and great conversation which would only happen here.

    No idea, sadly. Can't find any info on Australia Post's website about it, and no explanation on the USPS website either.
     
    I've had an order pending with Intrada for 4 weeks now, and I got an email asking if I wanted to cancel it (due to the USPS suspension) or continue waiting. I'm honestly not sure what to do.
     
    It's such a frustrating situation for international buyers right now. We pay a fortune in international shipping rates then wait months for anything to happen, with no idea when the order will even arrive. Obviously I want to continue supporting the labels but, at a certain point, spending hundreds of dollars to order CDs from overseas (with no understanding of when it will even arrive) is going to become untenable.

    Brando got a reaction from Martinland in John Williams Returns to the Hollywood Bowl, Sept. 3, 4 & 5, 2021   
    In case anyone hasn't seen it, here's John practicing his golf swing!
    Edit: I thought I recorded it but I guess I didn't, but at some point before this the audience was screaming for more and he made the 'sleeping' hand motion against his face and that was the sad moment we realized it was over.

    "Hey John.  Why have you never written a theme for me?  I mean Dukakis got one, Obama got one, Kobe got one...what gives?"
     
    "I tell you what Steven.  Make a movie about yourself, and I'll write your damn theme."
     
    "Hmm.  Okay.  Here you go."  
     
    "Damn it, Steven.  I'm working on Indy here (plus I have to write a new big piece for the woman, as it will become the new theme for the franchise)."

    It's not confirmed. 
     
    But of course he's who Spielberg wants to score it. And I don't think Indy 5 or anything else will prevent him from scoring it.

    It is expected JW will write and record The Fabelmans score starting sometime late this year or early next year, finishing up his duties to that film before his big Carnegie Hall night in April 2022, then write and record the Indiana Jones 5 score after Carnegie Hall, before that film opens in July 2022

    Brando reacted to Tom in John Williams' Daily Work Schedule   
    Well, not really.  If you listen to the full interview he mentions that the breakfast consists of a half of a box of Count Chokula and two Krispy Kremes.  This seems also to explain the regular two-hour nap he takes after breakfast.  
     
    He skipped the breakfast once.  By the end of the day he had begun and finished America, the Dream Goes On.

    He gets up at the same time every day and eats the same breakfast every day? That's madness!!

    He's also said he takes Sundays off, but that might just be when he doesn't have a deadline looming like a Star Wars score that requires millions of notes!

    Does anyone remember any of the interviews where JW has discussed his daily work schedule? Just curious. I remember this interview from 2019: https://www.jwfan.com/?p=12355
     
     
    But I feel like there were other articles where he talked about how he likes to schedule his work, when he goes for walks to clear his mind, how he works in solitude for much of the day, etc. I remember being very fascinated by his work flow (which is obviously very different from how most ordinary professionals in other industries work).
