Augie 1 Posted February 2, 2013 Share Posted February 2, 2013 I give you three truths about John Williams. First truth: John Williams was basically an 80's composer. Just like Andrew Lloyd Webber, he should have stopped working in 1986, when there was still time to quit.Second truth: Many people in the industry agree that he writes too many notes.Third truth: The average music listeners agree that John Williams is fat and his music is too loud.Get over it!

Augie 1 Posted February 2, 2013 Author Share Posted February 2, 2013 So, lately I totally changed my mind about Williams and his film music. It's the cheap-thrill, superficial shtick of a miserable mook who found a way to rip off listeners and movie audiences alike. I discourage you to listen to this music. It's neither classical nor modern, while it pretends to be very important!5th truth.The most important one. Stop loving John Williams and his film music. It won't hurt you. It will make you free!

filmmusic 1,799 Posted February 2, 2013 Share Posted February 2, 2013 Ok Augie, i seriously think now that someone hacked your account and it's not you speaking!I remember some conversations some time ago, and you appreciated Williams.I'm not saying that everything Williams writes is the masterpiece of masterpieces, but the way you've expressed your views from your first post and on... i don't know.. it seems like another person..(and i have some experience in these things. meaning i have coped sometimes with persons that they pretended to be someone else on the internet) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nick1Ø66 4,664 Posted February 2, 2013 Share Posted February 2, 2013 Normally I don't feed trolls, but this one is so utterly stupid, it's hard to skip the low hanging fruit. Good trolling is an art form, and this one is finger painting.And I almost really hope it's a troll rather than a regular user attempting "satire" (which is probably what's going on). Good satire is hard to come by, harder to write, and almost always fails when attempted by any but the most skilled, which this genius clearly is not. At a minimum, satire should be funny. Not looking like a bored person craving attention.Have you guys ever had any really good, legendary trolls around here? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Augie 1 Posted February 2, 2013 Author Share Posted February 2, 2013 How can i be sure that I'm not talking to a bot?We have been disappointed by the whole film music field again and again. Disappointed, disappointed, disappointed.So I decided to take the matter in my own hands and destroyed all the film music in my house. I deleted what I had on my storage and what was left on memory sticks. Out went the compact discs and I melted all the LPs to turn them into something useful. It didn't take me longer than a few hours. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He lost his sound long time ago. I was just hoping, again and again, that it would return, ultimately, some day. And around Christmas Eve I realized I had deceived myself for all those years.
