A bit about the rejected score from King Kong. Most is about the aucostics of the recording stage, but there is a bit about the score. Sounded pretty good, from what Iheard. I wish Shore did it so badly!!!!!

What about Jurassic Park and Lion King?? Yeah..has anybody actually heard that score? did it deserve the Razzie nomination?

i hope!!

The score is wonderful to listen to by itself, and it complements the grinning faces of the scene. I admit, the book picture it much different, but for trying to fit ONLY the movie, Hooper was excellent.

Jackson was already fired...that was a post a long time ago.

Love the new sig.

Agreed.

All over, mostly the Kamino cues (which are on track 1 on the OST I think, it's been so long since I've listened to it unedited) and the second half of Return to Tatooine. There are many different motifs in the second half of Return to Tatooine. Does it start at 5:52?

Yeah, it's been a while, but wasn't there several doors to choose from, only one leading to the Departement of Mysteries?

E.T. was better than Wrath of Kahn, though WoK is still very good.

I agree that HS won't become the next JW, but he does have Martin Scorsese, which is like, the third or fourth most popular living director.

I'm sure I've heard the seperatist theme before, but I don't know it by name. Which tracks does it appear in?

True.

Oh...okay, thanks. And I never said he was a hack

I never knew.... Do you know of any other scores he does it in? I thought the director or production company has full rights over the music in a movie.

I noticed several years ago (before I was a part of this forum) as I was watching HP and the Chamber of Secrets, I noticed something. In the part where Malfoy and Harry are flying around during the Quidditch match, and they go sort of under the stands, JW reuses some music from Attack of the Clones. The music is from "Zam The Assasain and the Chase Through Couroscant," and begins at 2:33, but is heard several more times throughout the cue. Of course, JW can hardly be blamed, since this was in 2002, and he was trying to juggle Chamber of Secrets, Attack of the Clones, Minority Report, and Catch Me If You Can, but still, just a small note. This may have been discussed before, and if it has, feel free to lock it. I did a search in this forum, and I didn't see any good results, so as far as I know, this has never been discussed here.

The Thestral's are supposed to be ugly looking creatures, but sweet and innocent in personality, sort of like a hippogrif, only more extreme for both cases. The flight is supposed to feel light-hearted elevating, and it does. Hooper's piece is so beautiful and magnificent, and is clearly shows this. It shows togetherness, the togetherness of Harry, Hermione, Ron, Neville, and Luna. It also shows the beauty of independence. Normally, the director tells the composer what type of mood they want for a certain scene. Yates must have told Hooper than this light-hearted, beautiful type of music was needed. I'm afraid I disagree w/ you 100%. The music is beautiful. It fits the scene. And if it doesn't, take it up w/ Yates, not Hooper.

It was a great year for both film and score--just not the best.

1993. 1989. 2004. 1978.

Another good year was 1993. Jurassic Park, Schindler's List, Nightmare Before Christmas... Also, 2004. PoA, Spider-man 2, Polar Express, The Terminal...

I agree...it was a great year, but not the best.

The only scores I have from 1982 are E.T. and Star Trek II: The Wrath of Kahn. IMO, they are both magnificent scores.

What are the EE end credits, anyways? For the OST end credits, I have "Into the West", and then a short, peaceful melody by Shore, but it is defenitley not any scene w/ the oliphants.

So which 3 of you voted for Williams...?

This was a really, really, really really, really hard decision for me. Probably the only score in the world were JW wasn't my first choice. Howard Shore was amazing w/ the LOTR, but overall, he is not nearly as good of a composer as John Williams. In the end, I'll have to go with Howard Shore, because of what he did on the LOTR trilogy, keeping in mind that any other score, I'd pick JW as number 1. But I'd still love to hear JW.
