  1. Actually, JWFAN has never been a reliable source. Agreed. For trustworthy information on John Williams, Jeff Eldridge's site has long been the authoritative source. JWFAN has made strides in papering over its image as a distributor of unauthorized material, but for me its seedy origins have cast a persistent pall over anything and everything it's put out since.
  2. In Tom Cruise's 1992 interview with Rolling Stone, the actor makes clear his respect for Williams and what he brings to the table:

  5. People seem divided on whether the later seasons are richer/deeper or simply unfunny/pretentious, but I've personally grown to like the series more as it's progressed. The show didn't really click for me until the third season.
  6. Haha, this is great. (Louie hasn't actually had this opening sequence for awhile, but this still feels current with Season 5 around the corner.) https://nerdist.com/star-wars-meets-louis-c-k-in-chewie/ (h/t The A.V. Club)
  7. Please tell this Speck to just stop smoking weed. His Twitter handle is @scottspeck1; you can tell him yourself.
  8. Without faulting Speck or the Press-Register, I suspect some of the nuances got lost in translation.

  12. Maybe they'll finally release the rest of the seasons on DVD.
  13. Steven Spielberg Hopes To Direct Chris Pratt In Indiana Jones Reboot
  14. Lawnmower Man 2: Beyond Cyberspace (Folk) *** - A quintessentially lush mid-'90s action-adventure score that knows nothing of the Media Ventures dominance to come
  15. Perhaps you were too busy wondering how many guys in the theater were having an erection?
  16. Modern Family or Last Week Tonight with John Oliver? Sabrina Goes To Rome. I disagree.
  17. What are "attractive interview objects"? I do suspect the September 2004 features on film music from BFI's Sight and Sound will prove to be more interesting than what ultimately comes out of this project.
  18. Could be interesting. I like Portman's take for what it is, but something a bit more off-beat might be more in keeping with the tone and spirit of Saint-Exupéry's tale. Burwell would've been terrific.
  19. Animal Farm (Harvey) ****½ - Yet another superlative score in one of the greatest years for film music ever. All the Little Animals (Hartley) ***½ - Begins in a folksy, bucolic manner, by turns playful and ruminative, before reaching for sustained, organ-laden horror in its final cues. Some lovely writing for solo winds, guitar, piano. A carefully considered score, nothing slick here. If you know Hartley only by Sheena, might be an eye-opener.
