Reading through the recent posts in this thread... I think we might need a Jaws Disenchantment thread pretty soon.

Every single one of those changes were made for the Special Editions; they will be easily accounted for. That's part of the ESB Mono Mix. To be clear, the 1993 mixes and the ANH 1985 mix don't have any unique content differences; anything different about them content-wise is already part of the mono mixes. So there's really not much that's lost if those mixes are left off. Shame about the 1981 crawl, though, but I guess the SE has the ANH crawl covered.

Follow-up to this, ANH will just be the 1977 version with its three original sound mixes. I asked the uploader about the 1981 Crawl and the '85/'93 mixes, and he said the '81 Crawl wasn't being included and he doubts the '85/'93 mixes will be, either.

The way Goldie's face lights up in this shot is so infectiously happy, I love it!

Back To The Future Harkins was showing it today for the 40th Anniversary. Whoo, boy! I'd almost forgotten how good this movie was! The script is just so tightly-written, almost every line, every on-screen moment is setting up something that culminates in the finale! Just so many great moments that build up to a spectacular finale! And Silvestri's music for it is as amazing as it has always been! I'm genuinely shocked that I've never put BTTF in my driving playlists; I've used Asteroid Field, Desert Chase, and Jim Saves The Crew in those playlists!

And from the comments section on the new YouTube video:

My first exposure to Indiana Jones was watching the Young Indy series on VHS in 2008. I honestly found it pretty boring, and wondered why people were getting so excited about it. It wasn't until I finally made it to Raiders of the Lost Ark that I understood what everyone loved about the man with the hat. The Young Indy series just had way too little of what made the movies work. Even just having the Raiders March be Indy's theme in the show would've gone a long way in linking it to the films.

I know it'd be really heavy by that point, but I hope eventually all of the standard orchestra components get compiled into a single model that outputs each part individually, just to streamline the process and keep users from uploading the same cue 15-20 times just to get all of the basic orchestra parts.

And here we have my main reason for preferring Machete Order.

Alright, there's both a Guitar and Bass part in 1m2 Solar Surfer and 5m6 Jim Saves the Crew. I also discovered that the Guitar and Bass in 1m2 Solar Surfer are actually a completely different performance on the album than the film (note how the bass is played a bit harsher in the film compared to the album). I sourced the film version guitars from this YouTube video. 1m2 - Solar Surfer (Album Take): 1m2 - Solar Surfer (Isolated Album Guitar+Bass).mp3 1m2 - Solar Surfer (Film Take): 1m2 - Solar Surfer (Isolated Film Guitar+Bass).mp3 5m6 - Jim Saves The Crew (Album Source): 5m6 - Jim Saves The Crew (Isolated Guitar+Bass).mp3 For Jim Saves The Crew, I compared the album track to the film and I noticed no discrepancies between the two; the drop-outs in the film source admittedly make it harder to tell, but I still think it's all the same take: 5m6 - Jim Saves The Crew (Album+Film Comparison).mp3 In terms of the recording qualities, it sounds more like the album take of Solar Surfer than the film take, so I'm fairly certain that the guitar and bass for Jim Saves The Crew and the album Solar Surfer were recorded on the same day, and the film version was a rescore that was recorded a little more quick-and-dirty later on. Full Film Version of Solar Surfer (I also used AI to extract the clean opening of the orchestra part):

Perfect! [12 Years Later/1m2 Solar Surfer (Album Version) - Treasure Planet - James Newton Howard] 1m2 Solar Surfer Album Version.wav Can't wait to try this out on the film version!

I wonder if that snake's gonna wind up in someone's boot at some point in the film?

Spock, to Ben Solo:

I think the fact that they were kept up for a month without being deleted and no further discussion on the topic happening probably means the posts are safe.

There are very, very few renditions of Hand In Hand that I love. The Orchestra World Tour version is, fortunately, one of them. But I just can't stand the weak orchestrations/performance of the 1.5 version. Hand in Hand is a bold, brassy action cue, and it needs to be performed like one! I usually prefer the original PS2 MIDIs, but my favorite "modern Orchestra VST" version of Hand In Hand is by a YouTuber named Nanashima: There's an older mix of this that I love even more, but I don't think they have it up on their YouTube channel anymore; I've saved it here: Nanashima-HandInHand.mp3
