I forgot they're remaking this. Jeez.

"I don't like daleks. They're coarse and rough and irritating and they get everywhere."

Maybe they'll reissue PREDATOR.

I'll be interested if they bring back Tom Baker and no one from the new series are involved.

Even as a mega-Goldsmith fan, I'd rather a lot else than CONGO. In fact, I'd probably only buy one of those scores.

I think THE LAST SAMURAI was about a Japanese civil war. I know it was crap though.

His stand-up is a little too aggressive but he was good on MTW. I still prefer him to a lot of comedians now (there are some terrible comedians around now like Jack Whitehall).

I think I remember something about Intrada doing that. I guess it'll be DIE HARD. I'd much prefer LETHAL WEAPON 2 or HIGHLANDER.

What about Arsenal?

Can we then narrow that down to either dead (Kamen, Barry, Goldsmith etc) or superbusy (Williams)?

Technically his film score career started with his brother Richard.

Given what happened to Alderaan, is Star Wars a holocaust movie?

How about we talk about sending your kid to the concentration camp... Hey, it's gotta be better than Butlins.

What about people who have survived the holocaust, are they allowed to make jokes?

I love Elfman, but I have absolutely no time for Tim Burton at all. And that probably reflects in my opinion of the music. Don't get me wrong, he has done strong work (BATMAN is sometimes genius, BIG FISH is lovely, parts of SCISSORHANDS are very good) but to me his work outside is a revelation, and a breath of fresh air.

And just about all of Elfman's best work has been done outside of Burton.

THE EIGER SANCTION - I feel like an idiot for having this for so long and never listening to it before. Did so after reading Omen 2's great score analysis and loved it to bits, very, very good.

THE ADVENTURES OF TINTIN - I've tried listening to this about four times and just can't get into it. I even tried doing it in chronological order. I'm sure it's very good, but there's something about it that doesn't catch my attention. Maybe I'll try again in a couple of months. BIG - Delightful Howard Shore score, some real beauty.

Incidentally, I don't think it's a terrible list. I adore THE LONG GOODBYE, and it's pretty cool to see THE FURY and TEMPLE OF DOOM get some plaudits outside fan circles. Obviously you and I's list would probably have some different choices, but based on previous Salon articles I was worried it'd just be a bunch of relatively obscure ones. To score fans, I mean.

"Williams superimposes “Duel of the Fates” — the prequel cue that expresses the tension between the dark and light sides of the Force — over the optimistic “The Force Theme,” which we associate with Luke in chapters IV-VI; this cue foreshadows both Anakin’s moral failure in the second half of “Sith” and his belated redemption in the “Return of the Jedi.” What, in a cue tracked from The Phantom Menace?

Not a fan of JANE EYRE?

I love having physical stuff, but I'm willing to forgo it due to the difference in price. A download of your average soundtrack is £8, the CD in HMV or wherever is usually £10 at the least, that's assuming you can even find it there, which is a major problem I have - very few stores stock any kind of soundtracks now outside of Glee or whatever. I still buy CDs where I can because I like to have my music in lossless and I regularly use my stereo. But if they do ever do FLAC or ALAC downloads soon for the similar price as now, I'll happily switch and then make a CD-R.

It'd be cool if it was Joe Harnell's V.

WARLOCK was an actual original Intrada released at the same time as the film. So in that case it was an MAF because there was no limit, but it's OOP because it's 22 years old.

No. My iPod is 8GB, and I have a variety of music, scores and non-scores on. I'm not on a massive JW kick at the moment, so I've only got SW, a couple of tracks from ESB, ROTJ, ROTS, SUPERMAN, AI and JAWS on. Oh, and the Keisuke Wakao track from JANE EYRE. I want to get a bigger one, but it's only if I get one that holds all my scores that I'll have my entire JW on there. Same with any composer.
