  1. Oh my god! LOL. I actually liked the new Indiana Jones film, but I still thought that video was pretty hilarious!
  2. That's the problem--none of the times match it. The one shot I have is that the folder which claims to be empty, but has several "non-specified" audio tracks which supposedly have nothing on them. I've tried a couple, which really do have nothing; I'm probably just going to have to check each one for the sake of my sanity, but I'm fearing I may have to resort to just recording it. The best program to try to get those kinds of files in particular (in reauthor mode) would be DVD Shrink. There isn't an exact site to get it, you have to google around...
  3. Does anyone else think that the previz jungle chase music sounds a bit different than the film version in some parts? Or is it just me?
  4. Wow, that much? Rather just find a FLAC version of the DCC album somewhere... *whistles* or at least of just the Basket Game and Desert Chase tracks... *whistles again*
  5. I think we need one of these, to really whip up the pandemonia: I also would like to have a real counter like this! hehe.
  6. Maybe the interview on the CD is longer than we all think it is? So less room for more music.
  7. That makes sense because remember that when Laurent did JAWS it had the complete film score but it had the cues all out of order to make for a better listening experience. I guess he sort of did the same thing here, but did stick a but closer to chronology.
  8. For those saying LC may be out of order, I think TOD is slightly out of order too, depending on your point of view. Notice the track "The Temple of Doom" comes after "Approaching the Stones" and "Children In Chains". In the film, the first thugee ceremony with Mola Ram (the famous heart-ripping one) happens right after "Bug Tunnel and Death Trap". However, the same music, or a rendition of the same music, does intertwine during "Willie's Rescue" in the film, if I am not mistaken. What do you guys think?
  9. Well, here is what I gather from the official statements. Let's start with the first one: "Included are expanded and remastered versions of Raiders of the Lost Ark, and exclusive to this set: Indiana Jones & The Temple Doom, and Indiana Jones & The Last Crusade. " Notice it says "versions". So doesn't the plural automatically indicate that all 3 are? The only confusing part is when they said "exclusive to this set: Indiana Jones & The Temple Doom, and Indiana Jones & The Last Crusade," which they then remedied in the follow-up: "All three original soundtracks (Raiders, Temple of Doom, and Last Crusade) will be expanded and remastered, including material never before issued on CD... plus an exclusive audio interview CD with John Williams." So unless they are being complete manipulative liars, which as stated in this thread earlier is possible, then we are getting what they say we are getting. The mention of the bonus disc is in the press releases just mention the interview. They don't mention or even remotely indicate that the expanded music tracks that they are talking about are crammed on one CD with the interview. Now, apparently, we are getting more if the amazon.com image is correctly labeled as having the interview AND more music. But even so, unless they are total liars in their press releases, the real expansions are on the soundtrack albums themselves, not just on the bonus disc. So I am remaining optimistic. And besides... if they really are a bunch of liars that are trying to sell something skewed by their own words, then I am sure they are going to be bashed in by all of us here, aren't they?
  10. I have never made a petition before for anything, but this seemed like something that HAS to be done. Something that perhaps a petition could make happen. Something there is still time to show that fans really do want this to happen. If you are a fan of the Harry Potter films and/or John Williams music, visit the link below to make a difference. http://www.ipetitions.com/petition/Williams_Potter_Hallows/
  11. Nevermind. Apparently some people couldn't 'find a single note' while listening to the humming. No matter, I found someone on here that actually CAN hear what notes I am doing and understands it. No help required any longer. And btw, I would think you people would be a little nicer if you didn't understand what I was doing instead of blocking/logging off on me on msn just because you thought I was wasting your time. Good day.
  12. True, they are inferior, but that doesn't mean they can't be good films. There have been good remakes, although never being as good as the original, still justly served well. Of course there are a lot of bad remakes too, and I do agree that hollywood should not try and do all these remakes (remaking Willy Wonka? oh come on, there's no good reason...), but some movies are 'reimagining' films. Remember "My Fair Lady"? That was a musical remake of the film/play "Pygmailian" (sp?). But most people have no clue about that since "My Fair Lady" was done so well and was so well recieved. A good reason to remake King Kong is because so many people have never even seen the original. It's true, about half the people I ask when I tell them there is a new King Kong, they say "Oh I never even saw the original", or they say "Oh I only saw the other remake," the ill-fated 70's remake. That's one reason why I keep hearing from people "Were there dinosaurs in the original Kong? I don't remember any." after they had seen the new trailer. If they had seen the original Kong, how could they NOT remember the dinosaurs? They were an important part. However, they were not in the 70's remake. Some people may be confused if they even saw the original or the remake. So I think remaking King Kong is a good thing.
  13. Why do so many people seem sour about this new King Kong? The effects need a little work, yes, but they have so much time to work on it. I mean it comes out in December, not 2 months from now. They already finished filming, so for the next 5 months they will be focusing on editing, sound, and special effects. That's more time than most special effects movies seem to get these days, the way they usually churn them out. He has said that the actual design of Kong himself is still being tampered with, still making changes. And the dinosaurs are not meant to be accurate by any means (most obviously in size, they are much bigger than dinosaurs really were). And hell, this is Peter Jackson of all people making this movie. A remake to a movie he has said he liked more than the Lord of the Rings books. So with that much love for an idea... and the amount of greatness the Lord of the Rings films showed us all (well, to most of us anyway, some may argue)... imagine what the end product of this film is going to be like? I say bring it on.
  14. Damn... I knew I would get something wrong. It was a lot to cover ya know, an entire book and all... lol.
  15. Don't know if I posted this or not. For those of you who like Harry Potter, and even those who don't, may get a kick out of reading this. Warning though, this is a 'complete' abridgement and gives away basically the whole story... in less than 11 pages! For those who read this play, I performed it to the entire class playing ALL of the characters! You can imagine what a work out that must have been for me. Go to the link below to read it! http://diehard.ath.cx/~scallenger/Goblet%2...%20Abridged.htm
  16. Really? Still missing music possibility? Well I sure hope not, or they are false advertising aren't they? Well, I own the movie and know most if not all the music cues in my head, and judging by the track listing, it seems pretty complete to me. Once I get it I will do a breakdown and match it against the movie to see. Even if it is missing some music, it couldn't be THAT MUCH or anything too worthwhile. I mean look how much is on there NOW, and bonus tracks even. Btw, speaking of bonus, any significant difference between the original Carriage Chase track and the alternate version?
  17. That sucks about the linear notes, Indy, but how was the sound quality? As good as the Silva Screen release?
  18. Well I sent my pre-order to buysoundtrax yesterday, and tomorrow is the day they said they would ship on their site! Luckily I live in California as does the soundtrack company, so I should be getting it a day or two after it is shipped! Woo hoo! If anyone wants to know what I think of it once I get it, I will be sure to tell ya.
  19. The track list looks fine to me. Me being a fan of the film (I know, the movie sucks, but its because its so bad that I like it. And hell, it does have a lot of explosions... even though canon balls don't really explode on impact now do they? And flesh-made maps also don't change size from small to big to small again in real life as well do they? Hmm...), this track list also appears to be in chrono order of the film. This is very much a good thing to me, the order on the OST was kind of all over the place. Anyway, I have watched the film several times just to hear the music not on the OST (which is more than you think). The most cut music is of course for the giant battle at the end, and the missing parts are AMAZING. There's this part where Morgan and Dawg are battling each other on the masts of the ship and this great choral and almost frightening version of the main title is played. GREAT stuff. Even the Carriage Chase theme is woven into the climax (when you hear it, it goes with a part where this pirate is trying to break this guy's arm with the steering wheel of the ship... I guess Debney used the Carriage Chase theme there because the wheel reminded him of a Carriage? Hmm....). Anyway, so the unreleased music is worthwhile, if nothing else for the rest of the battle music (about 7 minutes presented on the OST, in this 2CD it's 17 minutes, although it throws in the 'dawg's demise' track too to make it continuous. Do the math). There are other noteworthy cues too that I can't wait to hear without SFX and dialogue, but I'll save off my analysis of those.
  20. YES! Better late then never, right?! I listened to those sound clips and saw the great track listing... a slew of bonus tracks too. *shudders with joy* Too bad I don't have the money yet to preorder... saving up now.
  21. Thanks, Stefancos. I have my information now. No more worries. The only question I have left would be where to buy the CD once it comes out (which site)? Prometheus's official site I would guess.
  22. Oh, thanks for the info! How do you know? Wait... don't tell me, because then you'd have to kill me, right? Thanks though.
