publicist 4,647 Posted February 11, 2013 Share Posted February 11, 2013 Let me respond by saying if this is your characterization from the quote I had from him, I misrepresented it because that is not at all the case. If anything, JW is a class act. He's shown very, very many times how willing he is to let it go and have others do there take on it and each time he's been classy. When young people make mistakes in their interpretations of his works, he could say: "do NOT touch my stuff" and I've heard people say this about their works in the film industry but he's always been very kind and generous and give people the benefit of the doubt. Are u a first-grade relative or his press agent? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Uni 306 Posted February 11, 2013 Share Posted February 11, 2013 John is the classiest and humblest individual in an industry packed with ego monsters. Would that they were all his equals where etiquette is concerned.Fascinating to see the reaction that an offhand comment, made during a performance featuring the theme to a franchise that's very big in the news right now (so why wouldn't he say something?), can create. Given that speculation is the only form of expression left to us where the new films are concerned, I guess it's only natural. But it's also fascinating how everyone seems to know, better than Williams, better than Abrams, better than Lucas, better than Disney, exactly how this is going to turn out. Wish I had that kind of foreknowledge.Personally, I don't know how things will go. Were I to speculate, I think the key factor will probably be age. I doubt the question mark would be quite so big right now if the Maestro were still in his fifties.Whatever the chances are at this point, for my part I remain hopeful that he'll be the one to do it—at least for the first installment.- Uni Once and karelm 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MSM 126 Posted February 11, 2013 Share Posted February 11, 2013 Hi,Did anyone manage to make it to the YMF Debut concert last night? Nice to report Maestro looked great and was in top form. No signs of slowing down I’m happy to say. He did make this one tantalizing comment before playing the Star Wars theme:“We’re about to play Star Wars [audience interrupts with cheers] and each time we play it, I’m reminded of the first time we played it decades ago. Neither I, nor George, nor anyone else involved thought this would go far or in a few years there would be a sequel and I’d have to revisit the themes…and years later another trilogy. Now we’re hearing of a new set of movies coming in 2015, 2016…so I need to make sure I’m still ready to go in a few years for what I hope would be continued work with George…[more cheers].”It seems from the comment he made, he has stated interest in scoring the new films (assuming his stamina and health continues (fingers crossed)). And second, he might not realize the new films are not directly controlled by Lucas but now in the hands of JJ Abrams. Do we need to start a letter writing campaign to vocally have JJ Abrams at least give right of first refusal to Williams? I think it might make a nice passing of the “baton” if JW did the first with Giacchino as understudy to boost some of his skills and really take the place as the heir to JW. Something Giacchino seems willing but untrained to do. It is like that whole padawan/master thing in Star Wars.Giacchino is in no way the heir to John Williams. And no, things don't work like that for artists. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lostinspace 8 Posted February 12, 2013 Share Posted February 12, 2013 I don't know how you could interpret Williams's comments as "hopes to work on next Star Wars". He is not scoring any more SW movies. What he means by his remarks is they will continue to use the main theme.

To the extent a baton needs to be passed at some point some place in his life, I would hope Williams would do so graciously; I don't think it's abundantly clear that Williams needs to start laying the groundwork for that moment in earnest right this minute.

Nor a desire for real conversation. And he has no "points", he has snarky comments and personal attacks, which is why I replied that way. And excuse me if I don't put a lot of faith on who is a "Top 5" poster from someone who makes comments like this:So you're actually in love with John Williams, not even the music. This explains everything and makes your argument invalid.If being a "Top 5" poster here means personally attacking Williams and questioning his integrity, among the many other ridiculous and juvenile things this guy seems to throw out on a regular basis, count me out. As far as I can see, the two of you have quite a bit in common. I'm quickly learning that there are serious posters here who have something to say, and a very distinct group (probably composed of frustrated tweens) that have little more than vitriol, empty hubris masking serious insecurity, and snark. I know who I'm interested in talking to.No need to reply. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But what's so bad about his signature? I'm using mobile view so didn't see anything but changing to desktop view I still see nothing??? As for Blume; he isn't even top ten material, although for some reason he's convinced himself that he is, as you can see. I was going to add "imo" at the end of that statement, but I happen to know for a fact I'm not the only who is turned off by his endlessly grandiloquent style. He actually quit for a while last year and nobody really noticed tbh. Let me tell you Nick, you're off to a fairly good start here. You'll come out of the other end (of the JWFan baptism of fire) just fine if you stick around long enough. One tip though: it's probably best not to insult older posters here, as a newbie, when they have their bros waiting to jump to their defence.

Nick1Ø66 5,806 Posted February 12, 2013 Share Posted February 12, 2013 Nick66, take no notice of Koray. He's famously one of the board's most deluded members. You should see some of his old posts! But what's so bad about his signature? I'm using mobile view so didn't see anything but changing to desktop view I still see nothing??? As for Blume; he isn't even top ten material, although for some reason he's convinced himself that he is, as you can see. I was going to add "imo" at the end of that statement, but I happen to know for a fact I'm not the only who is turned off by his endlessly grandiloquent style. He actually quit for a while last year and nobody really noticed tbh.Let me tell you Nick, you're off to a fairly good start here. You'll come out of the other end (of the JWFan baptism of fire) just fine if you stick around long enough. One tip though: it's probably best not to insult older posters here, as a newbie, when they have their bros waiting to jump to their defence. Oh, I know. And actually I've found a good number of people on this forum to be thoughtful and knowledgable. A few of the board buffoons (every forum has them) aren't going to scare me away. It doesn't matter that they're long time posters...longevity alone doesn't mean you have anything interesting to say. People get bored, want attention, so they start slinging feces around insulting Williams, other posters, whatever it takes...it's to be expected. Just have to remember to avoid the posts that look they were written in a Jay-Z chatroom, or are in Twitter speak. There are enough adults on here to keep people like Blume (it's his sig image I was referring to), et.al, from making it look like recess at a juvenile detention center.
