Let's call it Pete Chuka's Theme.

Absolutely. One of my all-time favorites. And it has an outstanding soundtrack.

R. I. P.

So nobody knows the answer to that question? Otherwise, I'll try to contact Murphy or Watkins somehow, I'm really interested in this.

GoodFellas.

OK, I ain't gonna start a new thread, not wanting to risk more wrath from other members, but since I'm really interested in this, I'll just ask here. When I received my latest VS Soundtrack Club titles' batch, I noticed an interesting musical quote in F/X by Bill Conti, track 4 - DeFranco. If you listen to the 0:32-1:13 part of that track, it's almost a verbatim quote (even in the same key!) of Conti's For Your Eyes Only score, track 6 - St. Cyril's Monastery, 2:19-3:00. Has anyone else noticed this? We all now, how fond e. g. Horner is of quoting his own work, but to the best of my knowledge, even he never quoted such a large portion of any self-composed track virtually note-per-note (except for classical composers such as Khachaturian and Bizet), nor have I ever heard it in other composers' work. One exception is that of Pino Donnagio's Seed of Chucky, where he quotes his Carrie, but that is, as mentioned in the liner notes, a joke (as was JW's quote of Yoda's Theme in E.T. and Goldmith's quote of JW's Superman in Supergirl) and was actually suggested by director Don Mancini. (In F/X's liner notes, there's no mention of Conti's self-quoting.)

Sit ei terra levis. Caled veleg, ethuiannen ...

I may be naive, but I don't imagine anyone who'd have the guts to do that to JW. You just don't reject JW's scores, no?! If I remember correctly, Rob Marshall stated in Scoring Memoirs DVD featurette that JW actually came to him and offered himself to compose the score, which is probably the only time in his six-decades-spanning carrer that he did that.

I've seen it a year or so ago (borrowed the DVD) more out of curiosity than sincere interest. Didn't really like it, pretty lame. IMHO, the best thing in that movie was inclusion of Lance Henriksen, to lend a least a bit of continuity and familiarity to the movie.

Outsider (great Slovene movie).

Same here. There's just nobody hotter than Johnny (especially if his surname begins with a 'D' ).

Or Ken Thorne with Honeymoon Hotel.

What a loss. Yeah, I also wish that'd happen. It would be qute a nice way to round up the "saga" also in a musical way.

I thought that was going to be an instrument. LOL, good one

Me too: - Les Misérables - Anne of the Indies - F/X

- Every sound that has came out of John Williams has been nominated for an Academy Award, including the sound of him breaking his nose from a roundhouse kick in a showdown with Chuck Norris. - When he was in college, John Williams had more women than Keith Richards and all of the Beatles combined. - There was no music before John Williams. :thumbup: Haha, this one really made my day, congrats to the authors!

OK, this one is really over the top, I imagine one'd have to be quite mad to do it. On the other hand, The Throne Room as a wedding processional seems like a great (not that eccentric really) idea and maybe I'll even use it on my own wedding!

I'm sure any small respectability this board had would evaporate. My opinion exactly. Come on, guys, we all do it on a daily basis, it's one of the most human things! I understand it must be funny hearing the thing, but I'm not sure whether opening a new topic just because of one little fart seems like a good idea. I must quote Josh500 here:

Catch Me If You Can.

Beautifully and truthfully written.

Hm, that's an interesting observation, although I couldn't agree with it completely. I'd rather say that there are many who can write a melody, but quite a few who can write a really good melody. Otherwise, it's certainly of great importance how, when, where etc. the melody is actually used, so good point, Morlock.

Oh holy s**t! I don't know whether I should laugh or cry ... If I won't be able to sleep tonight due to some bizzare nightmare, at least I'll know whom to blame ...

Yeah, requiescas in pace, Jerry, such an amazing composer ... Listened to Total Recall yesterday.

I have very positive experience with Varese for every order that I make, especially considering the fact that I live in Slovenia, which is like half the world away from CA. Yesterday, I received my latest (three new Club releases) package only 8 days after it shipped from California (on VS's webpage it said that the orders of the new Club titles would start shipping on July 16th, but mine already shipped on 13th). So, all the best to Varese for being ever so fast and reliable. I hope it stays that way.

Nice one Only that those are more on the "soft" side, while this HP is more "hardcore".
