I just realized this score would be a perfect candidate for a Mutter arrangement. Give us some of those sumptuous melodies without all the overcaffeinated-cannibal sounds!

Nooooo thank you.

If he actually wasn't there and finally decided he'd had enough, it's honestly amazing he made it this far lmfao

I don't wanna read too much into these things but all his quotes really feel like turning 90 has done a number on him, in terms of reprioritizing everything about his life and career. He doesn't have six months to spare for your dumb movie, he can't afford to waste a day for the ol Oscar show. He's on Johnny Time now.

I kind of feel like that and I haven't even hit fifty.

Don't think that violates the rules, otherwise mods can edit my post

Oops, beat me to the answer!

I've been trying to pick these up just to support the idea of music from TOS being readily available, but Jesus Christ, they're coming too fast.

Also, where my Bond CDs at?

I think Oppenheimer deserves this particular win, but I'd be happy for Williams to pick up another Oscar after an unforgivable drought. That said, he'd be winning for a score that would rank only somewhere in the middle-to-bottom among the scores he's put out since the last time he won an Oscar, and that would feel kind of odd.

Should I buy it? I mean, I've already bought it, but for the sake of argument, should I?

Also, I guess there's some sort of badge of honor I get? When can I get that attached to my username somehow?

You could have spent that money on something by Lorne Balfe or whoever the f--k.

Thor is a noted film-music expert and sounds from his podcasts like a great guy. His stance on expanded soundtracks is utterly baffling to me. But if that oddness is even a small part of what enables him to do the great work he does researching Williams's tv scores, then it's all worthwhile as far as I'm concerned.

rough cut · January 1

I finally got around and listened to disc 20, and have a few thoughts:

not too fond of the Ella Fitzgerald "Make Me Rainbows"; I've never cared much for her as a vocalist, though
I had never heard of "The Same Hello, the Same Goodbye," so this was a pleasant surprise
I'd heard the song "Daddy's Gone A-Hunting" before, but always in godawful quality; it sounds great here, and I finally dig this song
I hope to someday hear more about the origin of "Come Tuesday," which is really much, MUCH too good a song to have been in a vault all these years
I thought the Kyle Eastwood take on "The Eiger Sanction" kicked ass
I had never heard "A Powdered Wig," which is awesome; Johnny is a real standout performer there
I wish the Carol Burnett (no relation) version of "Love's the Only Game in Town," which is majestic, had been included instead of the Suzanne Stevens one; but this one is fine
I liked the Lou Donaldson version of "The Long Goodbye" more than any on the actual soundtrack!

Overall, this disc alone makes me happy to have bought the set.

QuartalHarmony · January 1

I really don't see how one would consider oneself to be a John Williams fan and not be invested in hearing every second of the score to Hook. But hey, some folks are built different, I guess.

mahler3 · December 29, 2023

I listened to this episode tonight at work. There can't be more than several thousand people in the entire world who would be interested in hearing that episode. And of those several thousand, I cannot imagine that a single one of them wouldn't find this episode to be absofuckinglutely fascinating. Terrific listen, and my hat is now permanently off to Mike Matessino. (Not that it wasn't already; it was.)

Yavar Moradi · December 28, 2023

My pick for first is Checkmate, if the album counts; I can't speak to the actual scores themselves. If the album doesn't count and we're talking actual scores only, I'll go with The Rare Breed (though I'm tempted to say the Lost In Space premiere).

Dial of Destiny for last, though hopefully it won't be THE last.

These episodes from @TownerFan and @mahler3 with Mike M are becoming something I look forward to and get excited for ALMOST as much as the releases themselves they are just that much of a treat. It's gotten to the point that I download each episode and save it along with the score in the collection.

It's almost the equivalent of a commentary track.

BB-8 · December 22, 2023

Excellent episode, unsurprisingly.

I'd argue it's his most prestigious and award winning scores , like Star Wars, Close Encounters ,Jaws, Raiders of the Last Ark,Jurassic Park and E.T. that saved these movies from being average at best and tanking at the box office.

Imagine any of these films without JW music and you haven't got much

No offense, but this is one of the stupidest things ever written on the internet.

They got my 20-disc box set from France to me quite efficiently, so they're alright in my book.

Unboxing for a fan who is also making his 'John Williams coming out'.

Based on the image, I'd just about rather die than have to watch that.

Either way, I got my copy in the mail today. What a gorgeous box set! I probably won't be able to make time to listen to it until next year, but this is a lovely addition to my collection.

Fantastic compilation album by the way.

I didn't know this existed, but plan to get a copy now!

Music Box is preparing my shipment, so I guess more copies have landed!

How many people will listen to Disc 3 first and then the new main program second vs listening to all 3 discs in order?

Not me, but it seems like a perfectly good way to go about it! Mine is out for delivery, so I'll at least have the option pretty soon.

If sound quality is a worry for people, they wouldn't like my upcoming CHECKMATE episode for the 7th and final installment of the John Williams TV webcast series. The sound is what it is. I hope to get to that next year.

For the record, I LOVE FSM's CHECKMATE release.

Same here. If it has audio issues, my ears can't hear them.

Bespin · December 1, 2023

I broke down and ordered a copy from Music Box, even though they are out of stock. Hopefully they get more soon!
