It should have been held back for a Black Friday release, just for the verbal irony. 

With both 'Labor of Love' from Star Trek and 'Starship Birth' from Fantastic 4, Giacchino has really cornered the niche "woman gives birth on a space craft in the middle of an action scene" side of the scoring market 

Their "Flight to Neverland" sounds incredible—Cheng-and-Lau-level, I'd say!  I'd love to get my hands on this.

That Darn Rex!

The Marvel style humor was then also imitated in the Sequel Trilogy because it was so in trend at the time.
And while I think in Marvel movies, when done in moderation, it can work, I did not like this style of constantly making jokes for the audience, even in serious situations, in Star Wars.
 
I'm just thinking, for example, of the very beginning of The Force Awakens, where Poe is in this serious confrontation with Kylo Ren and is then making these funny remarks about who should talk first and that he can't understand him.
Even as a 15-year-old watching it in the cinema for the first time, I didn't like that.
 

Is there some means of checking this out for those of us who are two hemispheres away?  Does the WASO offer broadcasts or after-the-fact streams anywhere?  This sounds like a great show!

Too bad that he did not write it after Violin Concerto #2.  Then, we could call it Violin Concerto Tree.  

I really love how they built the program (and cool title in Latin!). A great mixture of concert and film works.
 
Interesting to note that the Catch Me If You Can piece is listed with the name of the track on the OST album, while the concertized version is actually retitled "Joy Ride."
 
Prhaps JW has repurposed the piece for piano solo?  In fact, there is no alto sax soloist listed...

He was pointing you out to security, and smiling, thinking about what they were about to subject you to.

In fairness, when the book comes out, I'm sure Tim will be on it like white on rice.

Color Plate #2?  

They’re all Mr Ed. 

This is riveting, winsome, exhilarating writing!  I'm truly devouring every word.  (And the interspersed film stills are hilariously well-chosen.)  Honestly, the burden is on the book to live up to the experience of reading about its creation.  Thanks for being so generous with your story, @Maestro.

I could sell one of yours!

No. But the prequels were infra dig.

I think infra dig is pretty much the official JWFan motto.

I would buy a book about the writing of this book. Gripping stuff

Yeah, boring a hole into the fabric of film history as one of the greatest romantic comedy ethno-Valentines ever committed to celluloid!
 
“Feeny, get my book! Write down this name: Bollemanneke. Now…put a line through it. Ha! And that for him!”

Finally got round to listening to this and broadly very enjoyable. Must admit that I somehow missed that it's almost 3 hours! Some lovely arrangements and a decent enough range of left field choices and some actual score tracks rather than just the standard suites and themes.
 
 
I only wish it had included a couple of slightly crazier choices such as, maybe The Asteroid Field or T-Rex Rescue and Finale or Indy's First Adventure or Flight to Neverland had been included. Hearing really detailed stuff like that pared back to a trio would likely be revelatory.

The Quiet Man is boring.

He did not mention anything, but there is footage of an elderly man in a wheelchair in LA hurling his drink at the screen during The Minecraft Movie.
