At this stage in my life, how a theme is used in a movie or what it is supposed to represent doesn't affect my appreciation of it as music.  This is a standout piece, for what it is (a one-off march lacking development).
 
While we are on the topic of my first point, it is the same with something like the Adventures of Mutt--I really do not care if the theme "fits" the character.  It is a fun piece on its own musical merits.  The movies are a means to JW composing the music for me (and, I suppose, others) to enjoy listening to.  

I think her older age is a big factor - Halston Sage was 'fine' in the part, but bloody hell she never exactly looked the part, did she. Her replacement also just looks more butch, but in a none dikey way. Ideal really. I think she's great. 

Anyone else think the new chief of security is better than the previous hotter one?

Actually it's about a stalker nurse in love with him, imagining their wedding and all. When she sees him under the mask and says he's beautiful, Vader just puts a saber through her and tells the janitors to clean up.

I have got a limitless membership card so can watch as many films as I like. I already crossed the equivalent of my annual membership's value. At this stage I'm just watching things for free essentially.

Box office mojo has numbers up.
 
$350 million domestic
 
$1.2 Billion worldwide.

Now to see if it has legs at the BO.
 

Superman. I have listened to most of the 1st two discs. I have had The 7 disc HP set and barely listened to 1. If HP is 5 star John Williams music then Superman is a 6 or 7.  

I'll bet money that's the end credits suite. The theme is being played in full in bombastic fashion with dense orchestration and there are no scenes on the screen being scored. 
 
But nicely done. Gia showing his Williams stripes.

Taking advantage of intrada’s sale, plus catching up on some releases I fell behind on.
 
 

I wonder if it’s for the opening title card again.
 
I thought maybe they might do a new fanfare. Doesn’t this film signal the beginning of phase 4?

Ahh yes another twitter user who’s opinions are as useless as the rest of us on Twitter.

Friday’s Domestic take was $157.00 million. There are now projections it could hit $340 million US for the weekend. China is already at $217 million.

I go by many names in that realm. 
 
 
 
A few few twitter posts from the current scoring sessions for the Spidey sequel.
 
 
 
 

That was one hideous soundtrack album presentation. You'd have to pay me to accept it into my collection.

Infinity War. I understand someone here said it was the Worst MCU score. I cannot agree.

The liner notes got posted. Warning about spoilers if you choose to read the lyrics: https://www.watertower-music.com/releases/release.php?title=godzillakotm
 
This particular bit is interesting:
 
 
It means Ghidorah and Rodan have entirely new themes, while Godzilla and Mothra retain their Japanese themes.

According to this interview they recorded over 200 minutes of music. So no, not complete by any means.

One minute in.
 
Yes, please.

Shadows of the Empire is excellent and doesn’t rely on Williams material much. 

Skull Island is...okay. It doesn't have characters to speak of. *** out of *****
 
2014's Godzilla is a good movie. I like how sparingly Godzilla appears in the movie. Its like Hannibal Lecter in the Silence of the Lambs. Helps makes his appearances all the more special. **** out of *****

I cared very much for the 2014 Godzilla, I had none of the issues others had with it (although I wish Cranston didn't die so early).  I also thought Kong: Skull Island was a ton of fun.  Seriously, Samuel L. Jackson in Kong is one of the most delightfully hammy performances of the past few years.  A+

It's not difficult. 

Disappointing that Powell didn’t create a true end credit suite.
