John Crichton 4 Posted January 18, 2009 Share Posted January 18, 2009 Back by popular demand! Tweaked by popular demand! Titles also considered: Tournament II: Return of the Killer Tournament (a little Blackadder reference for you there).As I explained earlier, I was sympathetic to those that commented that the last tournament produced the same old results. So, after floating a few different options, this seemed to be the most popular one. The tournament structure will remain the same: the top 12 will move on to the final bracket, the top 4 get a first round bye, etc.Once again, I'd like everyone to nominate 10 themes, in no particular order. No rankings please. However this time, all themes from all the following scores are not eligible:All Star WarsAll Indiana JonesAll Harry PotterAll Jurassic ParkETSuperman- The Movie (Superman IV themes ARE eligible)Any votes for any theme from any of these scores will not be counted. All others are eligible. Popular scores like AI, Hook, Jaws, and Schindler's List remain eligible because they were not represented in the last bracket.Right now I'll set the nominations deadline for Monday, February 2. The fact that's the day I get back from vacation is pure coincidence. Really. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

John Crichton 4 Posted January 20, 2009 Author Share Posted January 20, 2009 So, Mr. President has the VP counting the ballots for him. No, Ray's just keeping an eye on his favorite. I prefer not to release any results or tallies until the end, so as to not bias any future ballots. Other than vague hints like my last one, of course.In addition to Jason's Hook question, I'm also investigating the possibilty of combining votes for the Orca theme and the Shark Cage Fugue, I always thought it was the same thing.Just a reminder, we're voting for themes here, not cues. If you give me a cue that's not a specific theme's title (ie a concert piece), I need to know what theme you're referring to. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

"Shark Cage Fugue" is not a theme in and of itself. It just so happens to contain that one theme. The "Orca Theme" can be heard at the end of that Track. To summarize, you leave your dirty hands off my precious "Orca Theme". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I really need to branch out and listen to more of JW's scores outside of the "big ones"My problem is being able to include themes from a variety of scores that I like. I mean in doing one of these lists I could just name ten themes from Hook and be totally satisfied, but I don't want to do that because it shuts out all of the other scores and themes that I'm a fan of.

Red 75 Posted January 21, 2009 Share Posted January 21, 2009 But that would mean leaving off many great themes from other scores. So I guess I wouldn't be satisfied if I just did that, but I would still be naming themes that I love. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
indy4 155 Posted January 21, 2009 Share Posted January 21, 2009 Still, the tournament is supposed to determine JWFans' favorite JW theme(s). And the results are sorta skewed if you vote for something that isn't your favorite theme. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
