Jay 37,373 Posted December 20, 2010 Author Share Posted December 20, 2010 Mattessino is indeed the best in the biz at writing liner notes, and I've told him as such several times. I especially enjoyed his Home Alone liners.Yea, Home Alone 2 has an insert in the film that wasn't included on the Varese Deluxe Edition Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Richard Penna 3,694 Posted December 23, 2010 Share Posted December 23, 2010 Finally it's arrived, and I'll be unwrapping it in 2 days.Even our beloved labels don't bother 'fixing' cues where it's only an insert. Especially when the composer is involved (I mean the LotR CRs are full of them). We can't have everything. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OneBuckFilms 323 Posted December 31, 2010 Share Posted December 31, 2010 I think I read somewhere that HARD COUNT was named correctly, and there was some reason related to the movie as to why it was called that.Aparrently, that's what was on the actual cue sheets, and all documentation pointed to HARD COUNT rather than HEAD COUNT.

Gruesome Son of a Bitch 6,488 Posted December 31, 2010 Share Posted December 31, 2010 Hard Count is right. The notes say something about how Buzz make's Heather's headcount a hard count. You know, how he dickishly starts calling out numbers.Still confused about Friendly Persuasion, Trapped and Broken Landing Gear from Amazing Stories, however.

crocodile 8,018 Posted December 31, 2010 Share Posted December 31, 2010 The bottom line is that's was the name of the cue on the cue sheet.Karol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Richard Penna 3,694 Posted December 31, 2010 Share Posted December 31, 2010 I often rename stuff like this anyway. The composer's original titles can be nothing more than a guide in some cases. I don't like multiple-part names, so if something can describe an overall scene, I use it instead. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jay 37,373 Posted December 31, 2010 Author Share Posted December 31, 2010 MV already answered the Head Count / Hard Count question on the FSM boards somewhere. The actual cue sheets read "Hard Count", and even though everyone working on it pretty much agreed that was probably a typo and it should have read "Head Count", they ultimately agreed to go with what the cue sheets said.

Andy 4,141 Posted December 31, 2010 Share Posted December 31, 2010 Just finished this for like, the third time in a row. It's a perfect listening experience, start to finish. The kind of disc you can pop right back in and listen to again.Has anyone tried editing in the Clothesline Trapeze insert?Those Christmas Carols are pitch perfect! So well done, and wonderfully Christmassy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maglorfin 196 Posted January 1, 2011 Share Posted January 1, 2011 Hard Count is right. The notes say something about how Buzz make's Heather's headcount a hard count. You know, how he dickishly starts calling out numbers.That's right. The exact quote from Matessino liners is: "Buzz causes cousin Heather's headcount to be a Hard Count (1:01-1:20), adding to the confusion."Otherwise, this release is truly perfect, absolutely one of JW dreams come true. I've listened to it countless times already since it arrived, and I'm not stopping. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Josh500 1,615 Posted January 2, 2011 Share Posted January 2, 2011 OK, I listened to this album at least twice now, and a few thoughts.1. Home Alone was already one of my favorite JW scores, and now I admire this even more! This is really outstanding JW work from beginning to end. Didn't know JW was so impressed with the movie upon first seeing it.2. I have come to admire Chris Columbus even more. The adult actors are all good but not spectacular IMO (with the possible exception of Joe Pesci), so it takes a director of his talent to make this movie the success and enduring classic (on a smaller scale maybe, but still a clasic) it became. The timing, the comedy, the direction are all perfect. If the movie had been mediocre, I am sure JW would never have signed on.3. Sound quality is definitely better than the OS album, but IMO not better than the Varese Sarabande Home Alone 2.4. I laughed when I read that the producers all thought "JW will never do a movie like this," and then afterwards JW was so impressed with the movie he demanded a second spotting session.5. Because of this release, I have somehow come to appreciate the HA2 score even more, as well.6. I wish LaLaLand will release the Complete Harry Potter 1-3 next year! Hard Count is right. The notes say something about how Buzz make's Heather's headcount a hard count. You know, how he dickishly starts calling out numbers.Oh yeah! Buzz really was a dickhead, huh?

Richard Penna 3,694 Posted January 3, 2011 Share Posted January 3, 2011 There's more chance of them leaking than being officially released, IMO.Williams would be reluctant to release the whole thing, and WB would likely want to make it appeal to the mass market (even if limited). It's a perfect combination for 'bonus' tracks, dialogue crap, and basically anything other than a C&C presentation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ollie 1,059 Posted January 3, 2011 Share Posted January 3, 2011 Actually Warner Bros. has a little more common sense when it comes to their music. But yes, I would expect Potter to be a mainstream release, like LOTR. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Josh500 1,615 Posted January 3, 2011 Share Posted January 3, 2011 Well, IMO it's only a matter of time. And I'd be happy with an Expanded Release too (I'm not one of those people who have to have every single tiny note JW wrote). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Richard Penna 3,694 Posted January 3, 2011 Share Posted January 3, 2011 Josh, there's a difference between wanting every note, and wanting the full score with all significant alternates.My point is simply that expanded releases handled by WB are going to be aimed at the public, and therefore presenting every cue, plus significant alternates isn't going to be as important as what's going to entice laypeople to buy it.Having said that, there are only a handful of cues I want from scores 2 and 3, but obviously the chance of those cues being the cues Williams himself picks are practically zero.
