Wonderfull score. You reminded me of it and I found that it was re-released (in 2016) and ordered it. Federico Jusid's score for the 2018 Netflix miniseries version is also great.

Popular Post Andy 4,127 Posted June 8, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted June 8, 2022 Back in May 1979, each JWFan post was meticulously crafted using punch cards, which were then transcribed to computers with enormous tape reels. I remember it well because everyone was bitching about the 8-Track of ALIEN missing that romantic music from the ending, as well as the acid dripping music.

HunterTech 994 Posted June 13, 2022 Share Posted June 13, 2022 What ever happened to things sucking because they weren't well made? Get rid of the buzzwords that have no real meaning, and just say it looks bad. (And given the Nutcracker was a ballet, isn't it a female centric thing by design to begin with?)

Andy 4,127 Posted June 14, 2022 Share Posted June 14, 2022 I had a ton of those same ones. I still have my Jaws 2 Varese longbox. Should've kept my old ones though. I wonder if they brought these back if it would help the format? Yes, I know it's wasteful cardboard, but they could do clever packaging with them like Prince's Around the World in a Day, which was a fold out with lyrics. People collect blu rays for slipcovers these days. I could see longboxes being a thing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On what do you base this? Large parts are based on and written around one of the greatest fantasy ballets ever. And those moments make it actually one of his most charming/Williams-esque works.

publicist 4,643 Posted June 14, 2022 Share Posted June 14, 2022 Tbh, for a film music fan it's rather an upgrade, as it integrates the material smoothly in a modern setting. It was clear from the beginning that the whole project was doomed, but when i hear some of the cues especially from the first half now, i enjoy them sure more than i. e. the Fantastic Beasts sequels.

There's nothing exactly special or memorable about a lot of JNH's of late, so together with Red Sparrow's big ballet sequence written around the same time and boldly connecting a ballet/action sequence it was a short and welcome russian blossoming.
