[Will JW score the Rey Skywalker movie?]

I want him to score it ,but it feels like he struggled to finish Indy 5 so he might not be able to anymore

[What is the last video game you played?]

Final Fantasy Origins Strangers of Paradise.

 

I dunno , the combat is pretty cool and challenging and the graphics are pretty but it's a "missions" type game with set linear levels that brings you back to the main map when you finish, so no towns to explore or things to do in between except an option to upgrade your gear (which are Diablo style drops so upgrading anything is pretty useless) . At some point I wanted to to be over with. 

 

One thing is the final boss is hard and you lose all your party members for that fight an have to do it alone. Not a big fan of this type of design. Took me 2 hours for the final boss.

 

51 hours playthrough. There's post game stuff but I've had enough.

[HOOK Ultimate Edition - MUSIC Discussion]

I prefer alternate Exit Music to the one in main score too. more prominent strings

That’s why I ordered another one when all this crap went down. I had a feeling.

But you should get your original one eventually right?

yep I knew you had to order pretty fast

[Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny - Isolated Score Track]

Not really , at least not to my ears. I could just keep the iso score as is and be done with it

[HOOK Ultimate Edition - MUSIC Discussion]

I don't normally like songs but Childhood is my favorite JW song based on his themes.

Believe is really nice too.

 

These are 2 first tracks I listened to on this set.

 

The Farewell Neverland alternate ending is so cool I  want to find a way to put this track in the main score.

[Do you read the liner notes from your expanded editions c.d.'s?]

I used to read them back in the day and my favorite ones were on the booklet in the Star Wars Anthology box set.

WAAAAAAY easier said than done. Trying to combine the two sources is pretty dirty work. The OST and iso each have tons of small snips all over them. It’s very difficult to restore all of them, particularly when the two have slightly different mixes. You often get audible changes in the reverb when cutting between the two. So a lot of judgment calls have to be made - is this distortion/edit in the iso bad enough that it’s worth editing around? Is the edit I created to try to incorporate all the various inserts organic or is it so distracting that it derails the music? I am mostly done with my first “draft”, and I believe I’ve lost about 5 minutes of music, stuff like all the awkward inserts in the Battle of Syracuse, since I threw my hands in the air and deferred to the OST for that section. I’m going to try to create a film version edit to keep as a bonus track, but we’ll see. 
 

I am not a trained music/sound editor, though, so others may have an easier time. I’m also using Audacity, which is not the most user friendly.

Damn usually it's easier

[Do you read the liner notes from your expanded editions c.d.'s?]

I admit I haven't read any liner notes for the past 15 years! 

[Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny - Isolated Score Track]

The ideal would be to use the OST where appropriate but NOT omit unreleased music in the Iso Score.

 

There's always a way to fit everything im

The rest 2/3 of the score when it steers into new writing has some quite excellent moments in it. Not on the level of the previous Indy scores but still very nice. 

 I' d argue the last third is on par or better than KotCS and the SW sequels . I feel in the Airport onwards the action cues have a strong thematic buildup similar to what he used to write in the 80's .

[How "Fame" beat "The Empire Strikes Back" at the Oscars]

Well it's obvious Williams can't win every year for similar type of music, but in a few instances he should of like Raiders ,TESB or Superman and even Jurassic Park over his own Schindler's List. And Harry Potter 1 over LotR  (which should NOT have won for 2 movies)

When the guy who cameoed in Home Alone 2 fully admits 'woke' is a pretty meaningless term for the people that keep parading it, then I guess I have to ask what even is the point of using it then if it only invites annoyance at this point instead of actual discussion?

 Yes annoyance to this board's snowflakes who'll try to fling accusations of racism at you and get the thread locked by the mods. Some people use the term with absolutely no relation to "that guy who did a cameo in Home Alone 2" and just want movies to remain a politically neutral art form.

[New details on Williams / Ross Dial Of Destiny collaboration via new LA Times article by Tim Greiving]

Wait what if an A.I. composed

Yes, but that's still baffling because it's not tracked music. It's newly recorded. Which means, once Williams / Ross is given the tempt-track, he goes through the old scores, searching for those couple of bars that the editor has chosen, which don't fit musically with anything before or after, and just copy-paste them, with slight and seemingly-random differences ("let's just add a cymbal crash for the sake of it"). The result is something almost impossible to conduct, or even play, and yet they do it. Why? Isn't is easier just to track music? 

Maybe it was composed by an A.I. ?

[How "Fame" beat "The Empire Strikes Back" at the Oscars]

it's a bit like Charriots of Fire winning over Raiders. Basically for just one track.

[How "Fame" beat "The Empire Strikes Back" at the Oscars]

Whatever, I never said that.

[How "Fame" beat "The Empire Strikes Back" at the Oscars]

It's the most accurate term I can come up with to describe the current state of the Oscars. Please stop pretending like I used some kind of deeply offensive word and everyone here gets triggered by it.

 

I also said sometime ago I was going to tone it down and use it less, but that doesn't mean I'll stop using it altogether.

[Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny - Isolated Score Track]

There's somekind of insert fading over the Archimedes Theme in Centuries Join hands in the Iso Score. That's my only slight annoyance with the final sequence. Is there a way to fix this using the OST track?

[How "Fame" beat "The Empire Strikes Back" at the Oscars]

Easy, there wasn't any rules in place to prevent members of confusing "songs" and "score". Plus ,even back in the day they always go for the most "trendy" choice no matter how much it sucks.

 

In the 70's and 80's Blockbusters were automatically excluded from winning best picture in favor of serious dramas (like Kramer vs Kramer ) or "witty" Woody Allen romantic comedy.

The Exorcist, Jaws, Star Wars and E.T should all have won Best Picture by a mile.

 

Around the year 2000 the Academy was briefly cool and LotR won

 

In the  mid 2000's political correctness came into play and since about 2016  only woke movies win anything.
