I didn't grow up watching these films like I did with the Die Hards, so it was kind of a blind buy; I might have sampled one of the scores on Spottily beforehand, I can't remember. I ended up liking it a lot! There's a lot of really fun action music in these scores. The scores are like a cousin of Die Hard's scores, but less serious and dour and more fun and well, saxophone-y Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

crocodile 8,012 Posted September 18, 2020 Share Posted September 18, 2020 It is indeed. It is the most satisfying from the musical narrative point of view. It does start slow but once it gets going it turns into the most consistently exciting score of the three. Lethal Weapon box set is good too. The scores share a lot of the same musical DNA with Die Hard but with other eclectic elements thrown into the mix as well. Karol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TV series (unless they're older) come out as individual seasons first, and then years later when the series is done, you get a box set. And then there's me with the first (or first two or three) seasons already bought, trying to decide whether to pick up the remaining ones individually or to get the box set. I'm still waiting for a good deal on the Fringe box set. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jay 37,363 Posted September 27, 2020 Share Posted September 27, 2020 Remember back when MV posted this: Quote Current studios that are in play for rest of 2020 are (not to say we aren't working with WB and MGM for 2021 titles) Fox/Disney Paramount Sony Universal Due to the pandemic approvals are slow Hopefully this will rectify itself in 2021 and we will be able to get some exciting titles out In the meantime we hope to have some really great stuff out Dec 1 (our Black Friday batch). As of right now we have no idea what will be approved in time. We've done our part...its up to the approval Gods to answer our prayers (No crazy pricey box sets though so you can rule that out) MV He added clarification: Quote Quote When you included "Fox/Disney" in the list of studios you were expecting releases from this year, does that imply you guys could do scores from films released by Disney Pictures, or are you exclusively talking about films that were Fox originally? Fox Also, he posted this Quote Quote Exactly 2 months away from the Black Friday announcement! It might be scaled back from previous years but I am sure it will still be a stellar set of releases as always from LLL. No it wont be so dont get worked up over it. Just stop.

We've done our part...its up to the approval Gods to answer our prayers (No crazy pricey box sets though so you can rule that out) MV oh and now he's clarified that last statement Quote No it's not going to be a stellar set of releases. They will be good if we get approved in time but nothing jaw dropping. No Harry Potter set or Jurassic Park or Lethal weapon or Paramount Western set. Good solid releases that we hope folks like.

Given everything that's happening in the world right now, any expansions are worth savouring. Some of the unexpected releases (like The Cowboys) have become my favourite expansions.
