I think it's noteworthy to mention that modern pop culture doesn't consider children anywhere near as annoying as they did back in the early 2000s.

Cingdom of the Crystal Skull? Cavern of the Crystal Skull? Castle of the Crystal Skull? Crown of the Crystal Skull?

Unfortunately I gotta wait it out until either A, the game's released on PS5, or B, I suck it up and buy an RTX 3050 6GB, and then also buy this $70 game on top of that, and maybe even a new CPU on top of that... Just to play on low-mid settings. (Frankly, A seems more likely than B... but then B would allow me to do mods... Maybe someday down the line!) In the meantime, though, it sounds like the game's actually a lot better than I was afraid it would be! I find it interesting that Indy's got a game in every format an adventure of his could possibly take: puzzle-oriented Point-and-Click Adventure in Crusade and Atlantis, tanky Tomb-Raider-clone in Infernal Machine, action-packed beat-em-up/shoot-em-up in Emperor's Tomb, and now a first person shooter stealth game in Great Circle.

Get with the times, we're dirt-brained cows now.

I can't believe Haab pulled a Williams on us with this album!

Fixed.

So the following is from a conversation I had in DMs with @Tallguy regarding the film take of The Princess Appears; at his prompting, I'm posting it here, too.

The fact that Disney is acting so proud about the packaging of this reissue of the old, shabby 2008 album masters brings this quote from DankPods to mind:

It's probably the one that I bolded here:

I'm sorry, but this isn't correct. The Throne Room was recorded on takes 127-133. End Credits with the original intro was recorded on takes 134-143. And the more familiar revised End Credits opening was recorded on takes 215-219. There is no reason for them to arbitrarily record a separate clean ending for a cue that they had no intention to present with a clean ending. It makes way more sense that they just split up the densely-orchestrated cue to make it easier to record against the picture.

Doesn't The Throne Room have different take numbers from End Title?

C&C all the way, for me. Sometimes I may want to listen to a shorter representation of the score, but I don't let the OST dictate what that shorter program will look like. I decide that on my own terms.

The fact that he's on a forum for fans of John Williams means he does, in fact, like talent.

Perfection.
