#SnowyVernalSpringsEternal 10,265 Posted February 8, 2011 Share Posted February 8, 2011 He already seems to be semi-retired when it comes to filmscores.And nothing in his work from the last 13 years tells me his best work is still in front of him.

A masterful score, from a man at the very top of his game. I hear he plays a mean game of strip poker.Texas hold'em, actually. He's quite keen to regain the tri-county title from Willie Nelson.Happy Birthday, Maestro John Williams! You wrote the soundtrack to our lives!That's "are writing" the soundtrack to our lives.He already seems to be semi-retired when it comes to filmscores.And nothing in his work from the last 13 years tells me his best work is still in front of him.What, you don't think that "Saving Private Ryan", "A.I.", "Minority Report", "POA", and "WOTW" contain some of his best ever writing?!
