I've heard of people making more complete versions of TPM, but I didn't know what they were using to make it. I've seen art for boots using unreleased music from the video games, but I saw a lot of alternates tracks. But there are probably a lot of different versions.

Sorry if I disappointed you. I've heard a lot about the unreleased music in video games being used to make bootlegs, but I never knew that that's why they put out the Ultimate Edition. I guess that's a nice way to stop bootleggers, even if it's imperfect.

Well that sucks. Thanks for the information though. I'm most likely going to get the Ultimate Episode I though, because it's a lot more music than what's on the OST. I'd at least like an Ultimate Edition of Episode II though.

I really like the score to Episode II a lot, but is there a complete version of it? I've heard people mention it in passing, but does it really exist? How about Episode I?

I don't think that they need a ten year wait. I just think they need new people at the helm with new ideas. Rick Berman held things together for a very limited amount of time and now it's time to pass the baton to someone who's actually capable. Instead of saying, "Gee! It's been two years, I think it's time for another movie." They should acutally wait until they get a good idea. I'm amazed that First Contact and Insurrection were so good considering how they were only released two years apart. But I guess that was the franchise catching its second wind. In my opinion, Nemesis was great and they should take the time to get all the movies fleshed out before they make any. But that means they have to start with a core idea of a story instead of having money on the brain the whole time.

What's wrong with Joseph LoDuca scoring a Star Trek film? I think he could do a great job. As for Fiedel, I knew I'd come under fire for that, but I think he could do a good job. I wish I'd thought of James Newton Howard! I knew I was forgetting tons of good composers. Broughton too! I just think that the producers really need to stop making movies and just wait. Wait a good, long time for a good idea to come along. And now that Enterprise has failed I guess they know that selling out isn't the key. The only "new" Star Trek film I want to see is a possible extended cut of Nemesis when the time comes for its two DVD set. Oh, and an extended version of Insurrection too. I'd heard about Poledouris and Under Siege 3, but I'd forgotten. That should be cool, score wise anyway, if it happens.

I was online and discovered news about the new, and sure to suck, Star Trek prequel! Anybody else heard the possible composers? I quote the site . . . "The producers of this new Star Trek movie have selected two composers for this movie: Kevin Kiner (Wing Commander) and Dennis McCarthy (Star Trek: Generations)." Okay, I can kinda . . . maybe see Dennis McCarthy coming back. His later scores for The Next Generation and all of the stuff after that sucked horribly, in my opinion, but his score for Generations wasn't the worst. And his earlier stuff for TNG was pretty good on and off. I can't even remember the score to Wing Commander so that's probably not a good thing. Why can't they choose better composers? Why can't they get Ron Jones. They owe him big since they fired him for no reason that I've heard of. Besides the fact that Rick Berman is deaf I guess. Or how about Poledouris? (If he's still around! Where is he?) He could do a great Star Trek score. Or any score for that matter! Or Joseph LoDuca! Or Elliot Goldenthal! Or Alan Silvestri (Minus the techno effects please. Same for Goldenthal.)! And what about Joel Goldsmith's great work for First Contact? Or Brad Fiedel! Or John Morgan & William Stromberg! Starship Troopers 2 is the best new score I've heard in a long time. I guess that as long as Rick Berman is in charge we'll see nothing but a downhill slope for Star Trek. First they fire Jones, then they sell out big time with Enterprise and now this.

Hmm . . . I don't think that sounds too 'on the nose' for a Williams track title. I'm not saying that I think this track listing is real, but thanks to a track titled "Qui-Gon's Funearal" on the Episode I OST, I got a huge spoiler. But the phrasing (featuring the 'vs.') doesn't sound like Williams to me.

Fricken Scarface. Yeah, I know that the movie is loved by ten octillion people and that this post is pretty old but I don't care! It caught my attention . . . Unlike Scarface. And why is it that people don't understand the meaning of the movie? People are all like, "Man, Scarface had everything! He had a tiger, he had power, he had Michelle Pfeiffer!" Spoiler, but he had things, but he didn't really have anything! Duh! So shut up!

Nice play on words! I like it. I like it a lot. But I can't believe no one likes this movie. It's a great B-movie! B-movie I say! It kinda hovers in the range of movies that are good just because they're so crazy and the acting keeps it grounded. And there are few good ones like that that I've seen. For crying out loud the ending is one of those great movie sequences that hovers just this side of, "Okay! Way too much." But it's not quite there. It's just 'realistic' enough to be taken seriously by me (in a semi over the top fashion anyway). The acting lends a lot of legitimacy to it. Yeah, Barbara Hershey! I just wonder if that crazy wench's story is true . . . :?

They're finally putting The Entity on DVD in a region 1 format! It's about time. It's an American movie so why would they release it in a region 2 format before releasing it in region 1? Not that I'm against any other countries getting it, but c'mon! Give it to its country of origin first. I guess it's the Predator: Special Edition and RoboCop Trilogy syndrome.

Well . . . I'm glad Neil got my Animal House reference. What exactly is the 'special edition' of Evil Dead II going to have on it? I mean, the version I have has enough special features to be considered a special edition already. That is . . . Unless they've found the 'lost' footage with all the humorous violence. Oh, and I hope I get an answer to this too!

Honestly? Can they have LoDuca score a movie, that's produced by his buddy Sam Raimi no less, and not release the score!?! Sam gave him his start! Where's the album! I mean, was it over when the Germans bombed Pearl Harbor? HELL NO! And it ain't over now! Now let's get a Boogeyman score album released! Remember Army of Darkness! ARMY OF DARKNESS!

Not to make a post that's off the subject of the board it's on, but would you (or anyone else) know where to find this? I'm very, very curious about the film version of the score. I mean, I know it from the film, but I'd like it on CD.

I knew that was the case with the track listed with "DVD" in parenthesees, but I'm still curious about the other tracks. You're probably right though.

I just found art for the supposed "Film Edit Version" edition of the Alien 3 score. If anyone has this or has heard anything about it, I'm just curious as to whether or not there's any validity to this. I mean, is it the OST re-edited, which seems most likely to me, or is it the actual film versions of the score (including the unreleased film version of "The Entrapment"). I'm just curious. The link to the art is: http://plissken.free.fr/Covers/A/Alien%203...rsion%20bck.jpg Look familiar?!? Anyway, I'm not expecting very much for this version because it's most likely the OST re-edited with some DVD rip material at the end. But if you've got any info, just let me know. Thanks.

Yeah, that looks like the VHS rip version. I'd avoid that and get the DVD rip. Like previously stated, Fortune and Glory is the only one with really noticeable SFX. All the other tracks either have really quiet sounds or none at all. I usually hate DVD rips and I loved this one. Too bad the Shadow DVD rip wasn't as good as this one, but that's another story altogether.

I'm not gonna dignify that with a direct response. I'll just say: Tippett Rules!

Ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhh! As opposed to an 'expected delay'. I get it! Because when it's unexpected, you don't know it's gonna happen! DER!

So why in the world would they post it as to be released on November 9 and then completely lose all scheduling on it? It makes no sense.

Does anyone know when Intrada is actually re-releasing the complete score to Rambo III? I'll appreciate any news I get on the subject. Thanks.

Had Spielberg gone with Phil Tippett's stop-motion dinosaurs then the effects wouldn't have aged at all and we wouldn't be looking at so many films filled with absolute garbage in place of special effects.

The Changeling. Really good movie. And it's what the makers of The Ring (or more accurately, Ringu) copied off of and sucked at doing. This is the intelligent version. Highly reccomended.

Last night, I noticed a strange coencidence on the Fox Movie Channel. The lineup for the afternoon went something like this: Shock Treatment, The Sand Pebbles, Our Man Flint, The Other, Shock Treatment Now, is it just me or are ALL of these films that Goldsmith scored? Coencidence or something more . . . ? . . . ! The truth . . . is . . . out . . . there . . . somewhere, Bones . . .

One correction: Goldsmith - Omen III: The Final Conflict
