Yeah, one of the things I was surprised by when I saw it was how lively it was. The pacing of the dialogue, and the humor, gave the movie a brisk pace. I also like how it flirted with some of Lincoln's not-as-noble sides.

@KK Did you ever end up making the plunge in the XD?

I didn't want to pour too much salt on the wound...glad you brought that up, not me!

This is a dickish overgeneralization. You're either forgetting or deliberately ignoring the many other films he loves, listed exhaustively: Ghosbusters II, Godzilla (1998), ID4, and The Lost World.

Why do you seem so concerned with affixing some quick label to explain to him why he liked the movie? Is it so that it's easier for you to dismiss his perspective?

Not to say this is the only example of this writing after the 70s.

Same! I love it when Williams wrote in that mode...after the 70s he didn't do it much anymore, but with Crystal Skull he showed us he could still tap into that.

No mention of Fifty Miles of Desert? This forum is as dead to me as this movie is to Eastwood's career.

Why not?

Added to my immediate queue, thanks for the heads up. How's the score?

Has Thor been replaced!?

@Jay I knew the moment that I saw your profile GIF that it was missing something.... No longer.

This is an A and B conversation, so stay out of it!

Yeah, he loved this stuff in the 2000's you hear it in AI, Revenge of the Sith (and for some reason I'm thinking Return of the Jedi with something Emperor related but I don't remember the track).

You can actually see Williams at about 1:35 in this clip. And yes, it's a non speaking role. Thanks! That was definitely worth the eleven year wait! No problem.

I remember there being shifts from 4/4 to 5/4 and back in the melody but I don't remember any others. That's quite an endorsement, @gkgyver!

@Falstaft Contact Alex Ross, let him know that you've found additional information for him to present to Williams.

No time like the present! The tools out there have become so numerous, easily available, and after some initial breaking in, rather easy to use, too.

I see that as one of the key purposes of sketching, honestly. It was really inspiring to me as a teen to see sketches from someone like Stravinsky, because so often you could be hard pressed to link up the sketches with what you know of the piece itself (ie Rite of Spring), but obviously it was enough to put him on the track he needed to go.

I won't add much to what everyone else has said (don't want to do any unnecessary doubling ), but do you like using those lower blockier voicings in the piano like in the third movement (latter half)? Overall, dig it, baby! Very fun and quaint tone. As for myself, I just finished last week a track for an unannounced album coming out in October, I might post the unmastered version once it's announced.

You could always learn MML. ; )

I edited my post to clarify the logic behind the method since it probably looks pretty unintelligible as an observer.
