Ah, I got the Blu-ray first (still waiting for the 2-CD set to come) and the isolated score sounds AWESOME! Even has some unexpected pre-cue speaking. And source music is there, too, which was almost unheard in the old DVD. Since The Fury is my favorite score (tied with Empire Strikes Back and Revenge of the Sith as three scores I simply cannot choose between, but love dearly), to hear it isolated with a beautifully remasteted print is worth every penny. And at $30, that's a lot of them, haha. Now can't wait for the 2-CD set. This is one score that I am SO happy they are giving us everything. And considering that I have a sealed LP, two different releases of the OST CD and the Varese 2-CD set.... throw these two into the collection as well. Thank you La-La Land and Twilight Time!
Curious... To those who got it already: Did you order direct from La-La Land or Screen Archives? I was having trouble getting the LLL's checkout system to work with one of my PayPal accounts, so I ordered from SAE. SAE got the Blu-ray to me faster than expected, but still waiting on that 2-CD set. The Blu-ray will hold me in the meantime.
People mention Dracula, that would be good. A complete film version of Images seems unlikely, but very desired by me as well. And hoping/praying that all six Star Wars scores get complete/remastered treatment. Someday they will. Disney? Oh God... it took how long for that to come true with one of my other original childhood faves... The Black Hole? Ugh....

WOW! John is open and wanting to compose the new Star Wars films?! What great news! A few things:

- Star Wars would be dead to me without Williams. Sure, I'd watch them eventually... but... they'd be dead. Williams' music is the lifeblood of the series. The heart and soul. Without Williams, then what we know to be Empire Strikes Back, Return of the Jedi, and the prequels would not have existed. Star Wars would have come and gone, forgotten outside of a few small pockets of avid sci-fi cult classic followers (aka virginal nerds in their forties playing dress-up). Without Williams' music, the first two prequels would have been almost completely horrid trash outside of a good lightsaber fight in I and seeing Padme in a tight suit in II, and the relentless latter half of Revenge of the Sith would have been far less impactful and moving. I am one who enjoyed the prequel scores as much as the original Trilogy scores. All six are masterpieces to me. To consider another composer with Williams alive and willing to do them would be blasphemous. I never was a big Harry Potter fan, but I stopped watching the Potter movies after Williams stopped composing for them. I may get around to them some day, but I lost a great deal of interest. Sure, some other composer could come in and do an adequate job - but Star wars would eventually become as meaningless as any other multi-film franchise that has multiple writers, directors, composers and stars. Just another movie series.
- Uni?! Is that you? I haven't seen that name in ages! How great to see!
- Wait... wha?! Since when did rude-@$$, ignorant-@$$ anti-Williams posters take over this board? They can't be trolls, because they aren't very funny or clever. Or is it just being an ignorant dick attempting to be "postmodern" funny? Hmm. Oh well... my interest has come and gone with that.
