tharpdevenport 4 Posted November 22, 2011 Share Posted November 22, 2011 Part of me hopes MV does nothing more than post a photo of a monkey with the quotation: "Monkies always look!" under it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jay 37,364 Posted November 22, 2011 Share Posted November 22, 2011 So, the announcement is at midnight of Thursday to Friday then, isn't it?Can anyone tell me in what timezone?There is no set time when the announcement will happen. Its whenever MV happens to post it. Last year it was at 9:43am (est)The important thing is that the order time is set: Tuesday the 29th at 4pm EST Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Koray Savas 2,251 Posted November 22, 2011 Share Posted November 22, 2011 MV asked on Facebook when we'd want the announcement, at midnight or in the morning. An overwhelming vote went to midnight, so that's probably when it will be. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ManofDestiny 71 Posted November 22, 2011 Share Posted November 22, 2011 I will past Batman Forever and Planet of the Apes. It's a less interesting Elfman score, and the Batman one will last long I think.As for King Kong, I am not sure it will be in this batch.Anyway, one Barry, one Elfman and one Goldenthal? I can't say it is big. It is black Friday after all. Hope there will be at least two really big titles with big names. So I am hoping for at least one Williams, i.e. Hook.

TownerFan 4,983 Posted November 22, 2011 Share Posted November 22, 2011 I'm sure we'll see Batman Forever, which will be awesome.I guess we'll get Barry's King Kong, because of the FSM version's price drop. Last time they did that Varese gave us a complete The Egyptian. Can't say I'm too thrilled about Kong, not being a fan of Barry, but I know many many people will be excited for it.If we get Kong then Elfman's Planet of the Apes is likely too...that too will be a pass for me, the version in the Elfman box set is more than enough for me. I don't really like the score.The 4th title, to me, is a wild card. I can't really think of what it could be.Good guesses. The 4th title will surely be a Goldsmith.

I still need something to order along with Gremlins and that obscure Williams thingy.Yeah, maybe it will be Batman Forever after all? Then I could order this and the two recent Goldsmith scores from Joe Dante's films? I mean, you can't go wrong with them, can you?Karol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lonzoe 18 Posted November 22, 2011 Share Posted November 22, 2011 ^^^ I still need to order The Explorers. With all the praise it gets from fans.The problem is I hate buying blind. I've never seen the movie before. So If I purchase this it'll be collecting dust for the time being. I hate doing that. But I don't want this to sell out permanently. And miss out.

Gruesome Son of a Bitch 6,488 Posted November 23, 2011 Share Posted November 23, 2011 King Kong 1976 - A favorite Barry score. I would certainly want to hear it. Not sure if I'd pull the trigger, though.Batman Forever - I wouldn't buy it, but this is awesome music.Planet of the Apes 2001 - Absolutely a pass.Goldsmith - All I'd want to see get out there is Star Trek. What else is there of real importance at this point? Soarin' Over California recording sessions? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Richard Penna 3,689 Posted November 23, 2011 Share Posted November 23, 2011 Planet of the Apes doesn't seem a score that asks for expansion. What I've heard of the body of the score was pretty unremarkable really. I can understand LLL doing it if they're 'The Elfman Label' and it's Fox, but there's other stuff I'd prefer they did.Main titles are very cool though.

Jay 37,364 Posted November 23, 2011 Share Posted November 23, 2011 None of the cds will be signed by the composers. The composers are either sadly no longer with us or are incredibly busy at this time.The announcement will be coming at ya midnight (PST) Nov 25 (meaning Thursday night into Friday)All four soundtracks are in stock and will be ready to ship next Tuesday Nov 29 at 1 pm PST That is when LLL and other fine establishements will start taking orders.$29.98 - 2 cd set - 3500 units$19.98 - 2 cd set - 3000 units$19.98 - 1 cd - 3000 units$19.98 - 1 cd - 2000 unitsMV Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Charlie Brigden 7 Posted November 23, 2011 Share Posted November 23, 2011 Maybe one has the complete score over 2CDs and the other has score on 1 and LP on 2 - maybe that would be cheaper? B = Kong and Apes? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jay 37,364 Posted November 23, 2011 Share Posted November 23, 2011 I think the next few weeks is gonna be prime time for soundtrack collectors. What Varese is unleashing is, in my opinion, spectacular (albiet pricey) and the 2 Intrada titles are must haves in my opinion. . .and thats just the stuff coming out between now and Dec 5. I wonder what else we have in store for us from FSM, Kritzerland and, most likely, Intrada before X-mas hits?MV Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If Die Hard is part of next weeks LLL batch that will be the only one I'll most likely get. I'm pretty tight on money this month and next month.

Demondm810 399 Posted November 23, 2011 Share Posted November 23, 2011 Batman Forever would be a definite buy. I have never really gotten into Kamen's Die Hard. Is there more to it than the Beethoven arrangement that makes it worth it? Would probably get Scrooged, as it has those Elfman choir "la la's" that I love.

Wojo 2,453 Posted November 24, 2011 Share Posted November 24, 2011 No, he covered it by saying "apes."Besides, even limiting yourself to "apes" or "simians" still leaves the door open on such classics as Saving Private Ryan, Ben-Hur, Happy Gilmore, The Breakfast Club, There's Something About Mary, The Princess Bride, When Harry Met Sally, Dave, or another movie featuring people as the central focus.

ManofDestiny 71 Posted November 24, 2011 Share Posted November 24, 2011 I think Batman Forever fit only one CD. And yes, since Die Hard is less than 90mins, it is reasonable to release it in 2CD set but in one CD price. Same case as the Intrada's Jack the Giant Killer.If King Kong is one CD, it means it do not include the LP release, right? So the FSM CD is still worth buying. But I find that there are some sfx, vocal in the FSM CD. Hope the complete score will be sfx free.I still doubt that the Planet of Apes worth 3500 copies. But who care? I will not buy it anyway.

Romão 2,274 Posted November 24, 2011 Share Posted November 24, 2011 We know for sure, via Elliot Goldenthal, that Batman Forever is a 2cd set. It might not come out now, though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
