Jsawruk, the piano sound is not good. In fact it is really bad. Is this an old Casio home keyboard? Also the quantizing it too dead on. You really should change your piano source.

Here is an improved version of my quote:
The more movies one sees, the more intellectual one will become about it, but only if this person is intelligent.Chips, it's better but not perfect. I guess I'm not intelligent enough to write a brilliant everlasting quote. Help me, Obi Wan Kenobi, you are my only hope.

I wouldn't mind to see a new movie about Superman as long it's far away from Lois and Clark, Smallville, Spiderman, etc. I think making a good Superman movie is a very hard thing to do. Give the project to David Lynch, make it dark and strange, and then maybe it will stand a chance. I'm not kidding.

Beats me, but I just voted for Exsultate Justi.

Actually, intellect has little to do with one liking a movie -- it's all about sensitivity, and how and to what are you sensitive.
Intellect is important too. The more movies one sees, the more intellectual he will become about movies, but only if this person is intellectual.

The Luthor of Lois & Clark is far more interesting, a charming person who is right and coherent in his own ambition, althought his plans push the limits of morals and ethics, and that makes him evil; believable evil.
But he is not memorable. Non of Lois and Clark crew are.

When I saw Superman:The MovieI was a teenager too. Back then, I too noticed that when Clark Kent-teenager turned into Clark Kent-grownup the movie changed from the Smalville-like atmosphere to a more goofy, slapstick feel. Don't think that teenagers were more dumb in the Seventies and that we were easily satisfied. I surely felt the old school influenced approach that was surfacing throughout the second part. It was like Clark took a timemachine and went from the Fifties (or even Forties) to the Seventies. I remember the abrupt change in style very well but forgot about it during the next minutes that followed. The reason why didn't mind has probably to do with the fact that I was brought up (movie-wise) with the old classics. The only B&W movie teenagers today have seen is Schindler's List so I understand that alot of teens are not into"that" anymore. I'm sure there is or will be a generation that likes Attack Of The Clones more then A New Hope because the last mentioned is to old fashioned and only has about 12 spaceships in the final battle, hahaha. If you look at Lois and Clark today (reruns) you'll see it's already dated and Smallville (which is still running, I believe) is actually nothing more then Superboy: The Soap.

No offence but the only Elfman composition that I find worth listening to is The Simpsons. I'll bet he had some help from an orchestrator there too. For his other works I think he isn't mature enough as a composer. He isn't consistant in delivering a certain level of quality. They sometimes work (like the first Batman) but there were other occasions that I hear a translation from midi composed parts into the real orchestra. At times he tries to mimic other composers and then things start to feel a bit mechanical (like the duck scene in another Batman). I know he has his own voice (which I'm not to keen about) and maybe he should stick to it.
He's the only composer, except for Phillip Glass, that's making me cautious whenever I start watching a movie.

But Superman: The Movie is great! The Clark Kent character is been really good developed. Christopher Reeve doesn't make one flaw. The music is fantastic and can't be bettered. Gene Hackman as the villain is brilliant and original (Miss Tessmacher!!!) There are just too many good scenes that is hard not to call this movie great. Not a classic but great.

Remember C3PO taking an oil bath and how good it did him? In the Wizard, the Tin man also enjoys a few drops of oil. Let's see, what else...

Yes, Dreams is produced by Spielberg, Lucas and Coppola.
Kagemusha is produced by Lucas George and Coppola Francis Ford(who has supported Lucas from the beginning and produced his first film THX 1138).

CYPHER, I know what you're saying but you're only mentioning the big blockbusters with the biggest promotion campagnes. These do not stand for guaranteed quality, only guaranteed CGI. There are alot of other films being made too. Expect to find this year's standouts amongst those.

I've heard of the Flash Gordon influence but an official Wizard of Oz influence? Great!

Lords of the Ring? Absolutely not. Star Wars is more a fairy tale.
Harry Potter? You've got to be kidding! Besides, Harry is Space is still Harry.
Y Tu Mama Tamb-oh? I don't know that one, sorry.

Sure, but shoot the Wizard of Oz characters into space and some sort of Star Wars might sprout from it. I cannot say that for every movie. Think about it. What characters can be shot into space and spontaniously create a Star Wars movie. I cannot find any but the characters of the Wizard of Oz. That's all I meant.

The worst is the Boston pops version of the Jaws Main Title.
Is that the one on The Spielberg/Williams Collaboration?
That doesn't sound so bad to me.

Could it be that Chewbacca is the Lion? Is C3PO the Thin Man? Is Scarecrow replaced by R2D2? Is Dorothy, luke Skywalker? Is the Good Whitch an alternative for Ben Kenobi. Do I need to spell it out who the Wicked Witch in Star Wars is? And just like in the Wizard of Oz everyone gets a medal in the end.

HPFAN, Chewbacca is the co-pilot and good friend of Han Solo in the first Star Wars movie( you know, those two in the Millennium Falcon). He also appears in TESB and ROAJ and is already known to star in Episode III.

Stefancos- who saw parts of the Star Wars Chistmas Special, starring Chewies family.
Maybe a theme unique to Chewbacca was used in that Star Wars Special.
Anyway, a theme that suits Chewbacca wonderfully well is the Main Title. See the MTV Awards where Chewbacca won, and you know what I mean. It just so him.
