    @Andy First you can pull of Hooper very well, second, the pictures of you and the family, including the dog ("I've got a lot of fond memories of that dog!"), are amazing!!

    Did anybody EVER ask that about a western or a detective show or a WWII movie? 
     
    The POINT is to entertain me in a Star Warsy setting where I enjoy the story and the characters. If you can manage some banterish dialogue that would be swell too. I don't need lightsabers but some space flight scenes would be groovy.

    Hollywood Pictures and Touchstone Pictures are companies created by, run by, and entirely owned by Disney.  These companies were a way for Disney to release R-rated movies since they never do that under Disney branding.  Nixon absolutely counts as projects that John Williams scored for the Disney company.
     
    War Horse, Lincoln, and if he had been able to do Bridge of Spies, he's doing those scores FOR Dreamworks, but Dreamworks was not distributing their films themselves any more by that point, hence the deal for Disney (through their Touchstone brand) to distribute them.  Disney had no creative input on those, they were just distributing what Dreamworks gave them.
     
    Likewise, the Star Wars sequel scores and Indiana Jones 5 area films he's scoring for Disney.  Sure he only worked with the directors and maybe the head of Lucasfilm (Kathleen Kennedy), but Disney execs could still meddle with those films (and very likely did) in a way that they could not do with those Dreamworks ones.

    Williams has scored these films directly for Disney:
    1995 - Nixon (Hollywood Pictures) 2011 - War Horse (Touchstone Pictures) 2012 - Lincoln (Touchstone Pictures)
      2015 - The Force Awakens (Disney) 2016 - The BFG (Disney) 2017 -The Last Jedi (Disney) 2019 - The Rise of Skywalker (Disney) 2023 - The Dial of Destiny (Disney)  
    Disney's purchase of Lucasfilm in 2012 means they inherited these scores:
    1977 - Star Wars 1980 - The Empire Strikes Back 1981 - The Raiders of the Lost Ark 1983 - The Return of the Jedi 1984 - The Temple of Room 1989 - The Last Crusade 1999 - The Phantom Menace 2002 - The Attack of the Clones 2005 - The Revenge of the Sith 2008 - The Kingdom of the Crystal Skull  
    Disney's purchase of 20th Century Fox in 2019 means they inherited these scores:
    1962 - Bachelor Flat 1965 - John Goldfarb, Please Come Home 1966 - How To Steal A Million 1967 - A Guide For The Married Man 1967 - Valley of the Dolls 1972 - The Poseidon Adventure 1973 - The Paper Chase 1973 - Cinderella Liberty 1974 - Conrack 1974 - The Towering Inferno 1978 - The Fury 1982 - Monsignor 1986 - SpaceCamp 1990 - Home Alone 1992 - Home Alone 2 2002 - Minority Report 2013 - The Book Thief 2017 - The Post

    Brando reacted to A. A. Ron in HOOK Ultimate Edition - MUSIC Discussion   
    Just as @Chewy was able to use reverse phasing to isolate the choral overlay from "The Capture (Alternate)" on the expanded Amistad album, I was able to isolate the 2 bars of choir that were omitted from the album version of "From Mermaids to Lost Boys." Not a substantial piece of music obviously, but still kind of fun to hear as a curiosity.

    Hey I don't need this working class hero crap.

    A friend took me to a bar just outside of Seoul last night - we had both never been there before. Wow, a wall full of soundtrack CDs! A shame the owner wasn't there - I would have liked to have talked to him or her!

    They capitalize on it too. They sell T shirts and special edition cans.  For a while their campaign was “Crush it Like Quint”
