#SnowyVernalSpringsEternal 10,265 Posted December 28, 2008 Share Posted December 28, 2008 Yes, every day my mother would send me to fetch water from the well. It was a 20 kilometer walk....and 20 kilometers back!Carrying no less then 3 stone jars to put the water in, mind you.On the way to the well I always put stones in the jars so hen they were filled with water, the journey home would feel less demanding!

MSM 126 Posted December 28, 2008 Share Posted December 28, 2008 4.5 for the bad album sound quality (don't have the new box set yet ) and for it is not as good as TLC. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Elmo Lewis 6 Posted December 29, 2008 Share Posted December 29, 2008 And you can also hear some "Deal with the Dark Lord" in "The Medallion". Clearly because, you know, the villains in both scenes are dressed in black. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luke Skywalker 1,804 Posted December 29, 2008 Share Posted December 29, 2008 these quotes are not deliberate. Williams did the same now and then: when two scores are near in their release its inevitable that some snippets sound similar. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Henry B 50 Posted December 29, 2008 Share Posted December 29, 2008 Oh, I can't stand this "Club Obi-Wan" stuff. It was just meant as a silly little cameo, but now people take it really seriously, like the name is canonical. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Neimoidian 14 Posted December 30, 2008 Share Posted December 30, 2008 I finally decided - I give the score 4,5. There's just too much of goodies, to give it less, on the other hand I don't think it deserves 5, because I find it too overbearing at times.

JoeinAR 1,949 Posted December 30, 2008 Share Posted December 30, 2008 I gave it 5 out of 5 stars.I'd give Raiders 5 out of 5 stars.I'd give Last Crusade 2.5 stars out of 5 stars and Kingdom 2 stars out of 5 stars.Temple closed out John's Golden era where virtually everything he did from 1974 to 1984 was good to great. Masterpieces were common place unlike the last 10 years where they are few and far between.There were a total of 10 masterworks in that 10 year period. Towering Inferno, Jaws, Star Wars, Close Encounters, Superman, TESB, Raiders, ET, TOD, and the 84 Olympic Theme, and the others that were slightly less, Jaws 2, The Fury, Dracula, 1941, Jedi, Monsignor. WOW. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
