MV trying to escape the JWFan mob, ca. 12:02 A.M. PST, 23/11/2018, colorised

 

 

[Jay 37,249]

I really hope either Tomorrow Never Dies or The World Is Not Enough is part of this batch!  So cool they were able to do Die Another Day last year!

[Richard Penna 3,664]

I'd prefer TWINE as it's got actual unreleased material. Plus Snow Business in decent quality.

I would be happy with that. Die Another Day actually changed my opinion of the score quite a bit. TWINE would be probably more desirable but, at the same time, I haven't got the expanded TND so it's fine with me either way.

There is music recorded for TND that is not available on the OST, expansion, or iso score.

 

And I don't think any label uses the existence of bootlegs or blu ray special features to determine if they should license a title or not.  It's still the first way to get a proper, composer-approved album of the complete score.

[Richard Penna 3,664]

I'm sure they don't, at least not officially.

 

Anyway, was just stating a preference....

And so Kasey becomes the Smeagol-Gollum of the board.

I'm going to pretend I know what that means.  

[The Illustrious Jerry 3,356]

I'd put my money on a Saving Private Ryan 20 Year and 4 Month Anniversary Release.

With new track:

 

Hymn To the Fallen (Reprise) (Reprise)

[Kasey Kockroach 2,343]

Or a reissue of the Jurassic Park set, but now with extra teeth!

[MrJosh 892]

What I hope:

Harry Potter

Schindler's List

Superman

Tomorrow Never Dies

Mission:Impossible - Fallout: The Ultimate 3 hour Balfe Cut

Baffling, isn't it?

[Jurassic Shark 12,008]

Lots of money and lack of talent is a dangerous combination.

[MrJosh 892]

Wasn't there going to be an X-Files Vol 4 this year too? I'm guessing that is pushed to 2019. 

[Faleel 5,326]

Arnold said an expanded TND was coming.

[Brundlefly 2,385]

Hopefully, the Die Hard 4CD set including the OST will be part of the Black Friday batch. We've been waiting for that release for so long now.

What do you mean “we”? 

[Brundlefly 2,385]

I still don't get, WHEN the announcement will be.

Midnight from Thursday to Friday?

[Richard Penna 3,664]

Midnight Friday morning, PST. Just under 24 hours from now.

 

8am UK, 9am Europe, etc.

[crumbs 14,287]

7pm Melbourne/Sydney time, I think. 18.5 hours away if I'm correct.

 

Can someone start a countdown clock? Would be much simpler.

[Richard Penna 3,664]

We need a clock that either sets off fireworks or just blows the forum up.

[crumbs 14,287]

The countdown is on!

will this do?

Edit: damn you crumbs! 

 

 

I like that we both went with the money flying away background 😂

[Richard Penna 3,664]

 

I prefer the first one. More optimistic.

Brilliant! Great minds think alike 🤑😂

[Damien F 1,742]

The World Is Not Enough and POA both included in tomorrow's batch would be sweet.

[Holko 9,491]

Crumbs' is more precise to the minute, and also more professional using the LA time they gave on Facebook.

[crumbs 14,287]

Are we likely to have track listings for whatever gets announced tomorrow? Or will those be withheld for a few days until samples go up? 

 

It seems to be a bit different depending on the release.

On Black Friday they announce the track lists and cover art simultaneously with the titles themselves.

 

Samples aren't available until Tuesday when they go up for order.

[crumbs 14,287]

Excellent news, thanks Jason. I'll crack open a nice red just in time for the 7pm announcement tomorrow. 

 

I still remember all the crazed guesswork for ET's tracklist last year after they'd revealed the (strategically blurred) artwork but not the tracklist itself. Nice to know we don't have to worry about that tomorrow (for *hopefully* five Williams releases... not that I'm greedy or anything...)

We might be able to zoom in to guess the tracklisting as we did with ET

Oh the small joys of JW fandom.

[Holko 9,491]

It was so fun spending 2-3 days trying to find out if Botanicus is included and concluding "fuck knows"!

[Incanus 5,713]

The thrill of the chase is almost as important as the quarry!

[Jurassic Shark 12,008]

And then it turned out to be included, but in bad sound...

[Incanus 5,713]

Considering that it was a bonus on top of the actual score I would say that set was pretty OK.

It was even funnier to see you doing that, not knowing what Botanicus was and then discovering I didn't care about it at all.

How dare you? Botanicus is the finest composition in Williams' career.

The sound is really good enough to me.

[Gruesome Son of a Bitch 6,488]

First of all, the Botanicus Theme is JW's greatest composition. Second, the sound quality was indeed a massive disappointment. It basically still sounds like a bootleg. It's an improvement over the actual bootleg track, but that isn't saying much. There's this irritating buzzing sound throughout.

 

Universal Studios hasn't even played the music when the frequently broken Botanicus robot appears with extremely limited movement to the delight of approximately none of the stinky foreign tourists for possibly decades now. It's a wonder it wasn't completely lost.

[bollemanneke 3,334]

I'm at a loss for words by all this love for such an ordinary cue.

[Gruesome Son of a Bitch 6,488]

I'm a big fan of Williams music from that era. It would have been composed around the time of Always and Indiana Jones III. I remember hearing the music as a child waiting in line for the E.T. ride while Botanicus addressed us like an alien deity. I became obsessed with it when I got the silvenir videotape which actually featured some of the music. It's one of the last things from my childhood that hasn't been tainted with the passage of time.

[Brundlefly 2,385]

Less than 9 hours...

[Bespin 8,472]

Before what.

 

No more JW releases this year, mercy!

[crumbs 14,287]

6 hours until LLL announce a 12 disc Harry Potter collection, with 5 discs dedicated solely to Prisoner of Azkaban alternates.
