Hlao-roo

Some silly restrictions on the multi-composer scores.

Minority Report, critically, has been one of the best received films of the year, along side Insomnia. If Newton Howard can get a nomination for (the also acclaimed) The Fugitive, so can Academy darling Williams for Minority Report.

Whatever you say, Morn.

I wonder how Joe thinks I look...

Yeah, I hate those people who yell.

OH MY GAWD, JOE!!! You don't like A.I.??? HOW COULD ANYONE NOT? I mean, I, like totally, CAN'T BELIEVE YOU DON'T THINK IT'S A MASTERPIECE.

I tend to find "Over the Moon" invigorating rather than calming.

LOL, I had to go all the way to New Zealand to pick up the Goblet of Fire PB release...it takes forever for things to get out into paperback here in the States.

Arbitrary ratings without thoughtful justifications? I can do that! Mr. Williams's Deteriorating Powers, 1998 - 2002 1998 Saving Private Ryan: 9 Stepmom: 9 1999 Star Wars: Episode I - The Phantom Menace: 8 (would've been 10 had Williams's score consistently fit the film...and I'm referring to even the parts that weren't hacked up) Angela's Ashes: 8 2000 The Patriot: 7.5 2001 A.I. Artificial Intelligence: 7 Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone: 6 2002 Star Wars: Episode II - Attack of the Clones: 4.5 Minority Report: 4.5

I thought that seen was a little cliched in some respects and ineffective manipulation I thought the hologram scene was great. I love the complex plot the movie has, you have no idea what will happen next. Well, it was effective enough for me, even though Cruise looked a little strange trying to carry off the silent crying effect... I, too, found the plot twists and turns mostly unexpected, although many others I talked to had solved the 'whodunit' in the relatively early moments of the film...

See, that's why he's winning the poll...

Hey, I own an MR CD...by John Williams...

You seem to know all this... yet you still choose to exhibit retardation. All righty, diskobolus, I think we're going a bit too far here...reserve the personal attacks for private messages or e-mail. As for Joe, his posts are starting to look like circuses with the all the smiley animations all over the place...

MrStatistics, you might want to view a previous thread on the coming Tanglewood concerts.

No, that's called incompetence.

I'm just shaking my head at the measly 2 votes Stepmom's received. Very sad...no one has any taste.

Hey, what about Darkman (Danny Elfman) and The Meteor Man (Cliff Eidelman)? Biased little creeps...

It's called maturity It's called senility.

Actually, it's "Evening at Pops," and, unfortunately, in Houston I've no idea when it's airing.

Second favorite, I believe, after Close Encounters.

But it seemed to me that Williams skirted the development process for the most part...from the very beginning, we get a full statement of the theme. From that point on, it's variously rendered instrumentationally, but little else is done with it. Simple reprises.

I didn't quite like the way he did it with the Love Theme from Clones, though.

While we're at it, why don't we hire James Cameron to come in and put the finishing touches on the dialogue, eh?
