King Mark

I bashed it,sorry. When I saw it 2 days ago I was VERY sick for reasons I will spare you of on this board(no Stefancos,I wasn't on "drugs" or drunk).... I saw it again today in a clear state of mind,paid attention and...... IT'S A VERY GOOD MOVIE(Well except with the obvious hack of the score)I still maintain that Hayden Christenson wasn't very good as Anakin in some of the scenes though not that bad overall, some of the editing a bit choppy,and some visuals overwhelming in the end battle. I might not go see it as often as TPM....mayby once more in a few weeks. As for the music edits ,the FSM article sums it up,but in THX,I found the sound mix of the music louder than it was in TPM,so not AS bad as TPM.I'm still pretty sure that Yoda's theme poping up in the conveyor belt sequence(???) is tracked from ESB. K.M.Who now figured out that Obi wan had put a tracking device on the Slave One to lead him to Geneosis. End of Review. K.M.Felling better now.

"Williams works by himself. You give him a film and he takes it and delivers the final product. He doesn't like interaction and says he knows what the film needs. I don't work that way, I need more collaboration. Luckily what he came up with was good, but I can't work with someone like that again." From his mouth, to mine to yours... If that is true,then that would give Lucas the right to do anything with whatever competed score Williams wrote if he didn't like parts of it... K.M.Now a bit confused.

Of course Stefan is joking It's a old inside joke since there was this huge debate a while back wether Augie's Municipal Band in TPM was really the Emperor's theme played fast. k.m.

Names for things seem to come after.In ANH,Star Destroyers are called "Crusers",and the Death Star a "Space Station".In Esb,they never mention the name AT-AT. K.M.

Is there a cooler scene with Vader than when he just instantly neutralises the usually elusive and clever Han Solo on Cloud City with a few effortless gestures. K.M.Who loves that scene.

Why does on every c.d. release,people start to hear deafening background noise or hiss or whatever....there was the same complaint about A.I. The sound on AOTC is fine,and I have quite good headphones. K.M.

Well,Dooku will be back it seems.I hadn't read the whole script andthought Yod wouldhave finished him off in EP2. K.M.

I eat nothing but europeean dark chocolate with a concentration of 70% or more of pure cocoa. K.M.Who thinks he might get heart problems if he eats too much of that.

Barbara Bonney in A.I. K.M.

I like him a lot,but I think he should stick to adventure,fantasy or sci-fi films.I didn't like such of his films as Amistad or SPR for example. K.M.

I would like him to expand on old themes while introducing new ones,just like he does for every sequel he scores. K.M.

I listen to a lot of Williams in the car,with my Diet Coke bottle besides me(I have truckloads of Williams Minidisks in the car),but when I listen at home,ehhh...I don't think I,ll answer this. At the movies,I drink Diet Coke also,The HUGE one,no ice ,and ask for a refill too..of course I often miss parts of the movie due to an overfilled bladder.I also order Nachos with double cheese sauce and salsa and those peppers too. K.M.Who can go through 4 or 5 liters of Diet Coke a day and buys it in bulk at Costco.

I must have missed some news...is it confirmed Williams is dooing Potter 2 K.M.Asking a stupid question.

sorry,somwat it double posted. k.m.

1-John Williams 2-Jerry Goldsmith 3-John Barry 4-James Horner 5-David Arnold 6-Bruce Broughton 7-Alan Silvestri. 8-DannyElman 9-Ennio Morricone 10-? K.M.Who mostly has almost all Williams albums and boots,lots of Goldsmith,some Horner and a few Barry...the rest is a mixed bag which I don't listen to often.

I must have been a bit spaced out when I saw the movie. K.M.

Stefancos- who wonders if anyone heard The Emperor's theme in Yoda and the Younglings. I'm sure Roald does!

For the umpteen time I've answered the question,it was an LP of the Zubin Metah suite of Star Wars and Close Encounters.It was a gift.The first soundtrack I bought myself is the cassette of the TESB score. K.M.

Acctually in the end conversation between Dooko and Sidious I believe Sidious calls Dooko "Lord Tyranous" Justin - I was specically looking for that ,but I do believe my ears that he said,"Well done,Dooku" K.M.

I never once heard Dooku refered as Darth Tyrannus ruring the movie. K.M.

I have deleted my review a I will see the movie again.I was re-thin king mark it and it may have been to harsh. only fools don't change their minds. K.M.

The Acciental Tourist(not that I care that much for that score)and the A.I. promo are the only ones I don't have an official pressed copy of,besides 2 of those crappy 60's "comedy" scores from FSM. K.M.Who last saw the A.I. promo set (pressed) selling for 450$US on e-bay,good luck getting one.

I think the Emperor theme was tracked from ROTJ and some other sniplets. and I heard bit of Yoda's theme played fast during his duel tracked from somewhere when they escape from cloud city or when they run after boba fett or whatever in esb. K.M.Who has to see the film again and maybe he just imagined all this.

Review re- posted elsewhere. K.M.Bye for now...I shall return.
