Marian Schedenig 8,207 Posted October 24, 2002 Share Posted October 24, 2002 3. The DVD cover mentions a John Williams featurette about his long career with Spielberg, but I've got the DVD and I don't see anything of the sort. please advise.It's only in the 3DVD set. There's been a lot confusion and misinformation about the specs, and this includes incorrect infos on the DVD packaging.Best read the other thread about the E.T. DVDs on this board to clear things up. Nino Rota film music compilation Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scissorhands 16 Posted October 24, 2002 Share Posted October 24, 2002 I haven't been able to find any easter-egg in my Region 2 E.T. DVD.scissorhands - who is sure Marian hasn't bought the DVD, because it DOES have the short docummentary (10 minutes) about John Williams (showing the theme for the first time to Spielberg twenty years ago, the recording sessions, etc.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted October 24, 2002 Share Posted October 24, 2002 Hi, I bought the boxed set and disc three (bonus features) has an incredible featurette on the recording of the score. It shows many clips of Williams conducting and, most amazing of all, John sitting at the piano playing themes for Spielberg! Some very funny moments with Spielberg walking around filming the scoring session... The maestro tells the orchestra not to pay attention to "Steven and his camera" and further comments that it's like having someone filming you in your bathroom while your taking a shower. He concludes with "Thank God I'm dressed"! I love watching Steven's excitement at the recording sessions. He genuinely loves the maestro's contribution to his films. Marvelous stuff and well worth the extra bucks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris ChrusherComix 46 Posted October 24, 2002 Share Posted October 24, 2002 There is quite a bit on Williams on the R1 2 disc set. I take it the 3 disc set has even more? :oops: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Greggeth 1 Posted October 25, 2002 Author Share Posted October 25, 2002 Excellent work people. Excellent. Thanks for the help! i'm even more convinced i "need" the 3-disc set. : )P.S. I first saw E.T. with a friend about 2 weeks before it was first released in theatres. all we knew about it was that it was Directed by Spielberg and music was by Williams, but that's all we needed to know. It was the best way to see this movie. we were no idea what we were in for... it was awesome! I'm buying the 3 DVD set for her too. can't wait to see her face.
