Who?

If we're excluding Williams, I'd put James Newton Howard right at the top of the list. I suppose Powell would be a contender after that, as well as Giacchino, who's steadily on the rise.

Hmm....Fawkes, Double Trouble, Window to the Past, and Nimbus 2000 are all up there, though Fawkes made the greatest initial impression on me.

Been listening mostly to Temple lately. "Short Round Helps"....wow. I must've not known this cue very well from whatever boot I'd been listening to, because I'm f*cking blown away. The whole score is utterly amazing.

I would so love for this to happen. Unfortunately, there's no hope for it.

That's quite amusing.

That's right! I found the article here:

On the original album, the themes aren't given much of a chance to breathe or stretch their legs. Necessary casualties of the ideal listening experience.

That's exactly the type of situation a film score fan would really have no chance of explaining to a "regular" person (at least, without coming off as a neurotic social outcast). Regarding the topic at hand, I remember there being a small article about Goldsmith's passing in Entertainment Weekly (JW was even quoted in it), so I assume there'll be something similar, if not more substantial, for Williams.

You had film music friends?? Or were you normal back then?

I can do that!

That grape fall is one of my favorite "blooper" videos. It's horribly funny...the sounds she makes!

I wouldn't go that far. Bunshole.

It'll be interesting to see if there's any fallout from Michael's heated conversation with David Wallace. I thought that scene was rather sad.

Hah!

I can't figure out what "crap" is substitued for...

...

Well, I sincerely doubt that was the only reason the filters were instated...if the forum was moderated by the standards of Bob Jones University, we wouldn't really be able to do much at all. The filter became especially silly a while back when "ass" was briefly replaced by "buns," regardless of the fact that dozens of words in the English language contain the letters a-s-s in succession. Ray Barnsbury - whose favorite result of that filter was "bunsbunsinate"

That was my first Williams concert! I've seen him in concert (and had the privilege of briefly meeting him) three times: Clevelend 2002, Boston 2004, and Detroit 2008.

My thoughts exactly (sorry, Prez). Seriously, though. Ray Barnsbury - whose first thought upon seeing this thread was how difficult it's going to be for Joe

Yes, I know the part you're referring to. A wonderful passage indeed! Actually that whole cue is great - the fanfare as the centaur gallops in is really something.

Not sure what it should've replaced, but I definitely think it should be there. It's an integral part of the score, and does a great job of building the tension toward the climax.

The first score is quite good, the second less so because of the rehash that was already mentioned. In any case, I'm looking forward to hear what Arnold comes up with; it was definitely time for a change.

Aye. Complete (or even expanded) Potters would be a dream. Maybe even a wet one!

I need to get those few Lego tracks as well, mine somehow got deleted But more importantly, my set arrived! I re-sequenced the albums, and will leave it at that for the time being. Now I just need a free couple of hours to enjoy the listen.
