So... is it pretty much a sure thing to assume that FSM is releasing Poltergeist this month? I mean it's one of the few times they let it slip they would be releasing a title long before it was released. This would pretty much be the month to release it.

Man... there are too many good things coming out for me this month in the world of Blu Ray for me to buy many soundtracks unless it is a holy grail for me. Personally Alien Ressurection is not one of them, for that price (I know that's not a bad price for a 2 disc set, I'm just saying it is if it is something I don't really desire THAT much). Perhaps there may be some copies left in a month where I have more money at my disposal heh. However I see Trick 'R Treat is only like $5. I may have to get that one if there are any left in a couple weeks, for that awesome price.

Perhaps a PM or e-mail then? His hints and clues and other postings and updates to me are quite wanted and desired by all of us here, am I right? It's always been so nice of him to do so. That's one of the things I liked about LaLaLand was to hear some kind of updates before things come out. Even if things get delayed, we know why. I hope we don't lose this.

Why don't we invite MV to start posting here instead of FSM? heh. I'm sure he'd like the atmosphere better.

But if there is no 2nd pressing, why on earth does the video say "1st pressing"? It also said individually numbered in the video. So maybe the 2nd pressing is the exact same set, but not numbered? But who cares? lol. Gah that's confusing.

Well so could I. hahaha. I'm just giving more evidence of other things that are like this. You just never know though, in the end. But I think if Amazon was going to have this thing for preorder too, it'd be up right now.

I honestly don't think this limited 1,000 unit version will be for sale anywhere but the official site, unless of course it is afterward sold somewhere else by someone who bought it from there. Since there aren't really that many units of this, I can't see it being advertised on a place like Amazon. Now, maybe the 2nd run would be available elsewhere depending on how many units they are going for. It's like the Alien Anthology Blu Ray set. You can get the regular $100 version on Amazon. But the limited edition $160 Egg case is only on that official Fox site.

I totally agree with you, Koray. All of that unreleased Nightmare Before Christmas music looks amazing to finally have! It's too bad there's no way I could afford it right now even if I tried to save.

For me, personally, something very exciting to have from that box set will be orchestral non-vocal versions of what looks like all the songs from Nightmare Before Christmas, so one could make an arrangement of the entire score with no dialogue whatsoever! To me that's incredible! I love the lyrics and the performance of them in the songs, but to be able to listen to them without them will probably make me listen to the score as a whole much more when it's not during the holidays! When I try to otherwise it just doesn't feel right, and must admit, it's kind of silly hearing those lyrics when you're not in a festive mood. However, I LOVE the music underneath them. I never dreamed this would actually happen! I hope everyone is right in saying that there will be a second, much cheaper, run. I simply need to have that music, and a lot of others in that set!

This is exciting! Finally get to have a decent presentation of Pee Wee and the orchestral underscore for Nightmare, among many many many others!!! But at that price... wow. I hope we all find a way to hear this music. Maybe they'll make a coupon day... or... something...

Does anyone find it odd that the other sites that contacted WB (not the Brazil one) have not reported ANY confirmation on if Williams coming back was legit or not? Usually by now we would have had one answer or another from the official source, even though I'm sure it would still be "we don't yet know".

Whoo hoo! Grindhouse ftw! Glad there are other fans of it on the forum! I'm psyched about the Blu ray as well. I don't mind the set not having the unrated cuts, for I already have those on Blu, and besides, I still very much prefer the theatrical version of both films.

Some things to wonder about, some already mentioned (if this is indeed true): * Will they be using better sources for the Original Trilogy versions? * Will there be new tracks for the Original Trilogy versions (including the theatrical versions of certain tracks that can only be found in the Anthology set)? * If they do indeed expand (or complete) the Prequel Trilogy, will they still simply use the Ultimate Edition of Phantom Menace, or will they actually do the proper job this time?

Remember the clicking heard in some tracks of Last Crusade in the Concord Release? heh.

Ah, gotchya. Anyone wonder what would've happened if Intrada re-released Krull instead? Would Horner have become involved and decided to make the reissue shorter? Haha.

Question about the new KRULL set, in case anyone knows or already stated: is the track on CD 2 "Theme from Krull" a concert arrangement recording or just an edit done by somebody of existing material?

I guess the LP is where the footwarmer comes from? If so it sounds rather good coming from that. Perhaps someone had a master of that LP and used that. And I have to be honest... I grew up on both Ewok films and deep down in my childhood psyche I will always like them, I think. If anything, I think they are waaaay better than the Holiday Special, which is entertaining on it's own level (a bad one). At least these feel like real films, lol. For kiddie fair they really aren't too bad for their time. They even both won awards for their effects, which for made for TV standards, are mostly impressive, 80s-wise. I think I'm one of the few who actually prefers Caravan of Courage, both film and score (from what I've heard). I felt Battle For Endor was always goofier, despite it's seemingly darker beginning. The first one had this sense of creepiness throughout and more seriousness that made me like it better.

I think both scores (Carvan of Courage and Battle of Endor) are pretty underrated and not often talked about scores. It's a shame there has never been an official release of either score (and the only footwarmer known to exist just has a small selection from both). Anyone else love hearing these scores in these silly Star Wars related films? I find the first film to be very lush and almost romantic, yet also serious and dramatic. The 2nd score is a lot of fun, and a bit more action oriented. I wonder if these scores are being held under the Lucasfilm chain? Think they'll ever see the light of day?

I would LOVE a complete Jurassic Park, though it seems unlikely anytime soon since, like many have said, it's only missing 13 minutes. Not so much demand for it as much as other Williams works, including The Lost World, which is begging for a more complete release. However, there have always been a handful of cues I've always wanted from Jurassic Park that I WISH could have been snuck on the official CD instead of the repeated music (which blew my mind, in a bad way, when I realized they actually did a cut/paste job of the exact same music). I have of course wanted cues like the music when Lex and Tim are getting in the tour cars, the cartoon music, and others. But for me, the crown jewel of all missing cues from Jurassic Park has always been the T-Rex Jeep Chase! It's one of the most fun uses of the "carnivore" theme, and it's a shame it was dropped from the album. And like someone on this thread mentioned earlier, it drives me crazy everytime I go on the ride at Universal Studios Hollywood and I hear it playing in the background of the store!!!

How To Train Your Dragon, hands down.

I'm glad we have time to wait to purchase them then if we aren't at Comic Con, in case they really are something worthwhile. Sorry, but imo, Batman and Die Hard are nothing for me to get too excited about. If anything I'd rather it be Batman Returns. But who knows, maybe we are getting something totally different!

Oh, and in the latest Mugglecast, they spoke with producer David Heyman, who spoke on how Williams music was great and particularly loved his music for Prisoner of Azkaban, mentioned the "clicking" for the Time Turner segments.

New, brief interview with Desplat on Deathly Hallows, translated by Mugglenet: http://www.mugglenet.com/app/news/show/3568 That sounds good to me! I really hope he does use it frequently, when appropriate. Awesome that he thinks the other films underused it, which they did. I am wondering if he will also then use other Potter themes with associated moments, like Williams themes from Prisoner of Azkaban and etc. Or maybe even some stuff from Doyle or Hooper, like in the Ministry of Magic. This could be very interesting.

I think the talking spider "aragog" from Harry Potter was done pretty well. Sure he looked a bit too animatronic in parts, but the way they made him talk was creepy because you never saw the mouth move, just the eyes. And his voice was done very well.
