OMG, whoever wins the 3CD version better... uhm... put up clips for us all to hear! Because it seems to have all that missing action music I wanted from the film that is NOT on the OST, like the Thantator music, more end battle, and the fight!

I would love to get the entire score, if only for most of the action/battle music, which was really trimmed down on the CD release, sadly. Especially for the climax, I thought.

YES! Like others have noted, I hope it has the film version of the final battle!

You know where to find the boys AND the BOOZE!

Yeah, Jason. I'm feeling your pain now. I think I'll watch GOONIES tomorrow. That may help relieve the anxiety of wait, lol. To hear the music and KNOW everything I am hearing will be on that CD (minus the pop songs), and MORE! Hell, we've waited this long, right? What's a few more weeks? Okay, okay... I know the answer... *is in pain*

Hahahahaha! YES!

Speaking of Henry Mancini, when are we getting "Mommie Dearest"?! Hahaha. Seriously! I want to hear the cut music from when she is choppin at the rose bushes and says "bring me the axe!". I read somewhere it was originally scored in that scene. Sorry, I couldn't resist bringing it up!

King Mark, you are clearly NOT a Goonie. I for one am very excited for this release and ordered it immediately! Wow, so many holy grails lately for different types of scores! The last few months have been great for film score fans. I'm so glad it's complete and that it even comes with the alternates! That's a full CD! The only gripe is not having the Cindy Lauper song, hahaha. Easily ammendable, at least. Like BTTF was, for the most part.

Actually his "Race With The Devil" would be a fun one as well.

Hmm... this release of "Prophecy" actually sounds really good! I reacted like 'meh' at first because I remember seeing the movie about a couple of years ago and didn't like it very much, but forgot if I even liked the music. Since I forgot if it was any good, I didn't think I'd want this. But hear the clips! From the clips alone I am sold... it sounds loud, fun, and strange with it's electronic element for the monster. I'm short on cash, but may actually get this tomorrow since it's only at 3000 units. I know how fast those can sell out (still regrets not getting INNERSPACE...)

While I am excited about POLTERGEIST getting a new release, and will buy it for sure, I really DO hope there is a release, somewhere, for GREMLINS this year, too. Like BACK TO THE FUTURE was last year, it is way overdue for a proper release. The tracks on the OST with the songs just doesn't cut it at all.

I'm just happy to finally be able to own it on CD since it has been out of print since I have wanted it. I just have the Amazon download as of now. The current sound quality isn't bad at all, but I can definitely see how it could be improved to sound crisper and more alive, perhaps mixed better too. Next to Gremlins, Poltergeist is probably my favorite Goldsmith score.

Oh, I'm for sure getting this on Day 1!

As far as I know, the director and all the cast members are saying that the 2 movies will be pretty different. They are calling Part 1 a "road movie", for example. There have been rumors of where the split between the two films will occur, but the studio keeps saying that they will change their mind if they want to for whatever makes the most satisfying ending to Part 1. The rumor right now is the split will occur right before the trio is taken as prisoners to Malfoy Manor, which in a way does make it end on a cliffhanger. This was actually revealed in an interview with one of the cast members. But like I said, this isn't set in stone. I think they very well could have 2 different composers for the 2 films. The 2nd half of the book is a bit different than how the first half was. I'm just now currently concerned that Desplat can do good action. Because Part 1 is actually full of action, no matter where the split occurs (the multiple Potters segment, the running through the Muggle town after the wedding breaks up, the part at the Ministry of Magic, and of course parts of their camping trip). Desplat has yet to please me with his action music.

I don't see what's wrong with saying that Mugglenet.com confirmed it, since I do know for sure they do contact the studios and other people involved and hear back from them quite often when they try to verify rumors. They've also been around for a long time.

Yeah, it looks like it is official. Mugglent.com confirmed it now, after talking to FSM and also mentioning the agent said so as well. So, there we have it. I still find it odd he is only confirmed for Part 1, and not both. Would they really still try to get Williams for Part 2? I think that would actually be kind of odd, though I guess I wouldn't say no.

Where did you hear his manager confirmed it? (just wondering) The Harry Potter fansites are actually now contacting the studio, etc like they always do to also try to confirm, so I'm sure we'll know everything either way soon. But yeah, I believe it is true.

Actually both parts will have quite a bit of action. Even the stars have been stating that they have been running quite a bit. I've read the book, and a lot of stuff happens, and there are a lot of opportunities for old themes to be brought back from past films.

I am pretty dissapointed Williams isn't doing Part 1 (and probably not Part 2 either, not to sound pessimistic). However, although I don't really care much for Desplat's music (I think they serve the films well but aren't too engaging out of them), it could have been a lot worse. Hell, it could have been an unknown, like Hooper pretty much was. Man, I'm so glad at least it isn't him again! I found his scores for Order of the Phoenix and Half-Blood Prince to be rather dull, save for a handful of cues. I think we should also be lucky it wasn't someone like Zimmer... though I like some of his scores, I wouldn't want him to touch Potter. It was scary enough hearing that Media Ventures-sounding version of the Potter theme in a trailer used for Half-Blood Prince... ugh! Is Desplat really a John Williams fan? How do you know? And if so, I hope he quotes the themes well, and uses them appropriately.

nevermind, delete post. lol

Gremlins or Star Trek V please! But mostly Gremlins! You never know!!! It's the 14th soon, when will we know?

Maybe an honorable mention to TWLIGHT ZONE: THE MOVIE for "Midnight Special"?

Didn't Varese do Gremlins 2's CD release? There's hope for Gremlins yet!

BAD LIEUTENANT Is So Awesomely Bad That It's Simply Iguana-Lovingly Cracked Out! (WARNING: Some language is a bit adult. Moderators, edit if necessary.) Wow. Oh my god. Oh my god. Did I just see that? What was that? Can I go back and see that again? What? What?! WHAT?! Really?! Honestly?! The above reactions aren't in regards to a car accident or a horrible roadkill. They are reactions to something far greater than either one of those things will ever be. It's a movie, lovingly called Bad Lieutenant: Port Of Call New Orleans. Only it isn't even really a movie. It's a cracked out experience, not one I have enjoyed so much since Grindhouse. And that is really saying something, because Grindhouse IS like crack to me. So what is this movie in comparison, then? It's Nicholas Cage, that's what! In this film (hell, let's called it BL), Cage IS crack. I don't know what he did to get into this role, but never on screen have I seen a well-known actor act so... batshit insane! I mean, really? Seriously? I don't even want to give anything way. It's so god damn fun. And I have to say profanity with that, because that's what kind of fun it is. You sit there, watching this strange drama play out before you, when suddenly, there's Cage, acting crazy, and crazy things happen. Cutting off air supply from old lady. Putting gun to old lady's head. Going on a rant basically saying he despises old ladies. Dead alligators. Imaginary iguanas. Breakdancing. It's all there! But in what context could this all possibly work?! Does it even work? BL is batshit loopey, no question. And it's done in a way so intentionally unintentionally hilarious (which is quite an achievement) that most film-goers will NOT get the movie at all. They'll see it as a bland and oddly-acted failure of a film. But really guys, it's not. It's the best comedy of the year. It's the most surprising thing of the year. And Cage is actually having fun in this movie. You can tell. But it's the kind of fun that is actually quite engaging, and there even are a couple of tender moments where even though he is batshit insane, it works. And it is GOOD acting. You can't even heckle a movie like this by making jokes yourself, you can only laugh at it. You just sit there, waiting for the next crazy thing to happen. And it always comes eventually. It's all sprinkled everywhere, like the best cupcake from the best birthday party you have ever been to. If you appreciate films like this, and love to go to the movies for an experience, not just for a movie, this IS the movie for you. It as by far the best movie experience I have had all year (which I shared it with my lovely friend/coworker Merrill, and a nice can of Mike's Hard Lemonade). It's perfect. And the ending was a bit of a surprise. It's not a shocker kind of ending, but it's so wonderful that it made this cupcake taste sweet to the last bite. Michael Bay may have raped Megan Fox with the camera in both Transformers films, but director Werner Herzog totally rapes and murders iguanas with his in this film! Seriously! You have never looked at an iguana as lovingly as you will see in this film. Pure magic. And that's what movies are all about. From magical wands to iguanas, it's all about magic, baby!

Did anyone else here get "In Search Of Peace" like I did (it sold out I think within 2 days of it being out, since there were only 1,000 copies). I finally got to listen to it and I was blown away! Powerful music, that is touching and thrilling throughout.
