With the news that Bacalov has passed away, my mind inmediately jumped to this particular version
 
 
Much better than the English one IMO

The series itself is dumb as shit but the openings are awesome (I particularly adore the second one)
 
 

You could say that for a couple of other Spielberg films as well.

For the love of God, please no more Americana.

Makes you wonder if any of these unused ideas could make it into TLJ.

Dammit JJ, what were you thinking? Probably one of the best cues in the score and they didn't use it!
 
Really makes you wonder what the original version of the film looked like, and whether these "bigger" cues were JW's idea or JJ's. The final score is far more restrained (especially Solo's death).

The planet is called Achtung Baby.  It might not matter to you, but accuracy is important!

A couple of days ago the movie was being played on the TV and I was reminded of how good the actual war stuff is but the farm scenes fall flat on its feet. I kept thinking what drove Spielberg to make this particular in freaking 2011 of all years.... Maybe 15 years ago would have been a better choice, I dunno... Of all the stuff he could make, he chose this?! Maybe if he would have focused on the war more and cut back more on the two farm families the movie would have improved drastically. I get that he was trying to do a sort of Winchester 73 type of thing but still.... What were they thinking? Feels like a Far Away 2.0 and that can't be a good thing -and I adore that stupid movie because of how utterly idiotic it is.
 
Anyways, the score worked fine but it is overscored. I remember thinking the No Man's Land scene was freaking epic on the big screen, but seeing it again I felt kinda... embarassed. Maybe I wasn't in the right mood to watch it, but I thought the following scene with the soldiers on opposite sides halting the battle for a moment to help the horse was still a great scene.
 
I really dig the "irish" theme after all this time, but hearing the end credits I kept thinking how much better the "B" theme is compared to the "A" theme (the one that was promoted so heavily on the trailers and so on). What I mean with this "B" theme is this:
 
 
It's so perfect, it makes me teary-eyed. Should be the "A" theme in my opinion.

I'd like a more unique orchestration, like a chamber formation instead of the full orchestra, like all strings or something like that.

So we're officially getting 2 Williams scores this year (and the Kobe short).  Awesome!

Maybe IT could be NON-BINARY.

I can't believe how boring this place has become waiting for TLJ news.
