Ian McDiarmid doesn't strike me as an actor that needs a lot of direction. He always knew what to do before. But this time it was like his thoughts were deliberately elsewhere. He made you wanna yell: "Hey Ian, snap out of it!" Ah hell, maybe he's just sad the whole time and thinking:"What are they doing with the Star Wars that I once knew? There screwing it up and there's nothing I can do." ---------------- Alex Cremers

Neil, I think your on to something since Palpatine acted as if someone drugged him in Episode II. You know? He was staring all the time. He felt more like a dead person to me this time. ---------------- Alex Cremers

Ah, 1977 is king. ---------------- Alex Cremers

Hey, I like LotR. And for what it's worth, every aspect of it is better then any Prequel Episode (and RotJ of course). But what is it gonna change? What is so new about it that it will influence a whole bunch of other movies/directors in the years to come? Hell, LotR IS Star Wars. Peter Jackson should do Episode III and a new hope will arise. ---------------- Alex Cremers

It doesn't matter. LOTR? Pick your choice. Any film around December 19, 2001. Same story. ---------------- Alex Cremers

And I do mean every composer!!! ---------------- Alex Cremers

One of Spielberg's finest qualities as a director is that he can put his ego aside. Someone as Williams can change a movie's overall feel just by having a different perspective of the story. A bit of Spielberg's magic can be explained in that he allows for such a thing to happen. And so Williams changed the feel of "Jaws"(made it more adverturous)and Steven let him. Not many other egos will tolerate this. E.T. , from the start, was blessed with all the right elements in order to become a movie classic beginning with script and ending with editing and score. Spielberg, as most of you know, reedited the movie's Grand Finale to match the sublime music Williams wrote for it. Believe me, every composer wants to work with Steven. ---------------- Alex Cremers

I'm no expert. People from offices don't call me. But I've have always known that AotC UE is coming our way. Sony will handle it. Oh yeah! ---------------- Alex Cremers

Miguel wrote As always. Hey, it's George! ---------------- Alex Cremers

Wrong about... what? :roll: EDIT: The first part of the quote or the composing part? ---------------- Alex Cremers

I actually enjoy CD 2 from TPM very much. I consider it listenable. But I agree that it feels more like little cues glued together then listen to complete whole tracks. Perhaps, dare I say it, Williams composed it that way. :roll: PS. See how more nuanced you can write when assuming that cues and tracks are not exactly the same. It surely would make discussing here more easy. ---------------- Alex Cremers

He was at THEIR offices AND contacted YOU!?! Ocelot, who are you??? ---------------- Alex Cremers

If Spielberg made this film today critics would applaud. Something they forgot to do in 1987. Empire of the Sun is Spielberg's most underrated movie to date. I hope they will release it soon(restored and remasterd) on DVD. ---------------- Alex Cremers

You see, all that talk about the prequels makes people wanna leave! ---------------- Alex Cremers

That's right, Joe. Just a select few. I had to wait two long years (back then it felt longer) for my next classic: Alien. I left the theater thinking, boy, what the HELL was that! Totally blew me away. And it scored high in other fields different then those of Star Wars. It was no Star Wars clone, which, with all the Star Wars hype, was an achievement. These days I would gladly wait for two years to experience the same kind of emotional thrills. ---------------- Alex Cremers

This King Kong is for a new, younger audience! It is only being made because Hollywood loves CGI and thinks it has reinvented itself! The new younger audience loves CGI and thinks that everything has to be remade! Beware! Jaws will be next! In 15 years another King Kong will be made with better CGI because the old one (Peter Jackson's) looked so faky! This type of movie stinks and PJ knows it! I pity Howard Shore! If indeed Jackson is the director, I predict that, sooner or later, he will abandon the set! I hope for him it will be soon! ---------------- Alex Cremers

I only remember Boba saying something like: Get him, dad!!!. I thought that was kinda funny. ---------------- Alex Cremers

Hum it to me. ---------------- Alex Cremers

I wonder what George has in store for us in four years from now when it's the 30th birthday celebration of Star Wars. Perhaps he will announce that he will do the last three chapters after all, who knows. ---------------- Alex Cremers

Yes, you can add 26 candles to your Star Wars birthday cake today. ---------------- Alex Cremers

Whruhaha...haha...haha...ha!!! How true! --------------- Alex Cremers

It has a remastered sound! That's why! The famous old one could crack a bit on some tracks. ---------------- Alex Cremers

I've come this far, now let's finish the ride (and only on DVD, mind you). ---------------- Alex Cremers
