Naïve Old Fart reacted to Dixon Hill in What piece best represents Williams at greatest angst?
Fantastic idea for a thread. There are actually many Williams moments that make me outright uncomfortable in their capturing of "angst." Must think about this. But one that comes to mind instantly is the music while Palpatine is electrocuting Luke, just before the statement of the Force theme. Incredibly disturbing and unsettling.

Naïve Old Fart reacted to Gruesome Son of a Bitch in Blu-ray News and Deals
I agree. Most of my favorite movies didn't even have 5.1 audio when they were originally released. The mono/stereo tracks on the Jaws and E.T. Blu-rays sound better than the remixes.

"Anticipation"? What anticipation? The first one was bad enough.

Naïve Old Fart got a reaction from Quintus in THE BFG OST ALBUM Discussion
What's wrong with watching a film with, or, at least alongside, children, and families? I enjoy watching children's reactions to films. I also enjoy being around childrden. Besides, I have a vested interest in pieces of entertainment aimed for children.

Naïve Old Fart got a reaction from Pieter Boelen in The Adventures of Tintin SEQUEL Anticipation thread
That's a fair comment, Pieter. You have always been one of JWfan's more level-headed posters. I respect you for that.
Let's just say that I didn't enjoy it.

Darth Vader was prepared for the eventual hipstery return of the casette format and that thingy is just a tapedeck.

It's a white noise machine, and those buttons will change it from the default "labored mechanical breathing" to "crashing waves," "gentle rain," "night wind," etc.

Hans Zimmer still works that way.

The little horn motif in KIRK'S EXPLOSIVE REPLY, as the Reliant files over the saucer of the Enterprise.

Naïve Old Fart got a reaction from Bespin in Expanded releases: those that include the Original Album and those that should
Bess, you don't really need LC, but you need the DCC Raiders, as it has the full version of "Desert Chase".
Of course, you also need the Concord box!

Naïve Old Fart reacted to Jay in Rogue One: A Star Wars Story (Gareth Edwards 2016)
It's a movie about stealing the plans to the Empire's new superweapon. Darth Vader is the Empire's Force-wielding enforcer. Why wouldn't he be in it?

Naïve Old Fart got a reaction from Melange in James Horner 1953-2015
Brilliant, Melange! Fucking brilliant! I played "Brainstorm" on the day that he died....and I cried. He never composed a finer score.

Naïve Old Fart reacted to Jilal in Favorite short musical moments in Williams scores?
B indeed. The series is Bb -> Ab -> C, then C -> F#, F# -> Eb and then Eb -> B. It's basically a mixture of chords separated by a minor/major third and a tritone which lends this passage its very colorful sound.

Naïve Old Fart got a reaction from Sharkissimo in Which original album do you find the least representative of the score?
I guess that it has to be "Earthquake", because it is a total re-recording. "Jaws", "E.T.", and "The Eiger Sanction" also come to mind. Bespin is right: "ROTJ" was unforgivable, but, in 1983, that's all we had.

It's been playing on repeat in my head since morning!

The Tennis Game, while sitting on my bike. If this was composed by Prokofiev or Mussorgsky, the classic Josephs of the world would call it genius. BTW, that climax!

American Beauty by Thomas Newman: Epitome of quirky Newman and he still finds time to pen a sweet little piano theme to melt your heart for this one.
Angels in America by Thomas Newman: All that is wonderful and tremendous about the composer is here in this impressive package. Beautiful.
