  1. Yes The River is a dust collector,along with Presumed Innocent,Sleepers,Rosewood,Amistad and Stepmom. K.M.
  2. Just finished American Wedding,which was suprisingly funny. k.M.
  3. Given the choice they would release yet another forgotten 60's Goldsmith scored Western instead of ToD. k.m.
  4. T-30 min untill..The Aunts from Hell. :micro: K.M.Removing the fuzz from his sweater
  5. No,i used to enjoy the rest but composition styles have changed.Williams is the only `remnant`of the era I liked. K.M.
  6. No,but i can`t say it`s great if the c.d. bores me to death.This would be the case of Minority Report,works great in the film,but my least favourite Williams score on c.d. except the last track K.M.
  7. That is what Williams politely says in interviews too,but there is contradiction in his actions.When he play his music in concert he says that he can play the music without the distraction of the film,which is the whole point of doing concerts,and in some other interviews he hints towards to snobbiness of some classical music people towards the acceptance of film scores. K.M.Who doesn`t think Williams would play his music in concert if he didn`t think it could not stand on it`s own.
  8. If I`m going to listen to film music on it it has to stand on it`s own as pure music.Williams still manages to do that,and Goldsmith..used to. In the 70`s 80`s and early 90`s the composers had more artistic freedom,and film music actually came to rival classical music that could be played in the concert hall.That is not much true anymore,and I wouldn`t see myself attracted to the genre from the new type of `serviceable and self-effacing`film scores i hear nowadays. K.M.
  9. Really? Look, i'm dying to hear the unreleased music from the first Potter film, but not in the score of the second film, wedged in with the few new themes that Williams was able to compose. This kinda thing might work for Home Alone II, but CoS needed a full blown Williams score, not a mere patchwork. I agree,this will be a blotch forever on the Harry Potter scores,and I dopn`t really care about a `complete`CoS score,but I stand by my statement,because I enjoy the music Williams wrote for the c.d.
  10. I haven't had sex with another person in...oh my :cry: K.M.
  11. I have to spend the evening with my aunts and uncles,my stepbrother and a bunch of screaming brats,and had to turn down my friend to see RotK,so I am a bit uptight. K.M.Who just tossed a pair of pants in the washing machine
  12. none of these have grabbed my attention to make me go buy the c.d.,and that`s usually how I decide if I`m going to buy a film score(except Williams) Here`s what grabbed MY attention: Star Trek The Motion Picture The Final Conflict Poltergeist Explorers Gremlins Twighlight Zone The Movie Secret of Nihm Supregirl King Solomon`s Mines Legend Goldsmith doesn`t write like that anymore. K.M.
  13. And remember you also call the CoS c.d. a waste of money,which I rank one of Williams better c.d. albums I totally disagree,Goldsmith lately has been mediocre and uninspired(The Mummy,ST Nemesis).The Patriot may not be Williams greatest achievment,but there`s a lot of great tracks. K.M.
  14. There`s still Dracula,Family Plot,Black SundayToD,LC,Monsignor that need complete releases I`m sure Timeline isn`t better or worse than anything Goldsmith has written in the past 10 years,ever since I stopped buying his albums. And what if Timeline was rejected because...well,it does suck. K.M.
  15. Why does every single Goldsmith score gets released,even several issues for even the most obscure stuff(Poltergeist 2,Man from Uncle vol.100),while there's still a bunch of Williams stuff to be released. It's because the people who actually have power to release this stuff,the FSM people and the likes,are Goldsmith fanboys before anything else. K.M.
  16. I've seen CE3K in theatres several times.But I have never seen The Fury,in any format. K.M.
  17. : I think Trumpeteer should be banned. K.M.
  18. When I listen to a crappy recording, it makes me appreciate a good one even more when it comes along,so nothing is lost. K.M.Sad he will never have a clean recording of the original "Satellite Celebration" and "E.T. Botanicus"
  19. I kinda like Gorillas in the Mist,by Maurice Jarre.I know I know it's all crappy synths,but it's a guilty pleasure. And Greystoke,The Legend of Tarzan,by John Scott.At least the few tracks I have on a compilation disk. And also John Barry's King Kong. K.m.
  20. So are the rest of us! Speaketh for yourself
