crocodile 8,000 Posted October 31, 2013 Share Posted October 31, 2013 Right, I was just mentioning how this one interview doesn't make him seem more enthusiastic than Williams' other projects, which was what I thought Incanus was suggesting.And the reason I don't think this is like Memoirs of a Geisha is because the topic/concept doesn't seem nearly as interesting as MoaG, which could have seem like an incredibly great route to take for a composer like Williams.And as SF1_freeze, he could have just had a tiring day.I'm not trying to say anything against the score guys, I think it'll turn out great!I know KK, just had brutally demonstrate my masculinity and superiority by which I tend express my inner insecurities and deeply buried anxieties.

Jay 37,348 Posted November 1, 2013 Share Posted November 1, 2013 I haven't followed this thread really but just saw the interview with Williams. I was very pleased to see track samples on amazon, it sounds pretty darn good so far . What are the general reactions from JWFanners?Why not go back and read our thoughts that were posted?http://www.jwfan.com/forums/index.php?app=forums&module=forums§ion=findpost&pid=947725 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jay 37,348 Posted November 1, 2013 Share Posted November 1, 2013 Right, but in this case, you leave the "This Topic" selection on, and just use the box on the screen, rather than clicking the gear for the "Advanced Search".

The Advanced Search, BTW, works best when you use "Titles only" in the dropdown boxThis is like Tiger trying to explain his golf swing. C'mon, Jason, just admit you have a technological savvy that is well-nigh ineffable.The way this is just 'another' William's score to some people astonishes me. If most other composers just one score nearly as good is this there would be a huge buzz for it and how amazing the composer is. This less well known William's score is tonnes better than most of the other stuff we get.Williams' record of excellence begets higher expectations than those we might dare afford other composers. Sometimes those expectations, in turn, can give rise to disappointment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pete 907 Posted November 2, 2013 Share Posted November 2, 2013 I just finished the book and absolutely loved it. Disconcerting that it was written by a fellow Australian ten years my junior. People younger than me shouldn't write books. If anyone hasn't noticed yet, the track titles are not in chronological order. That doesn't bother me in the slightest... just pointing it out.

I was intrigued by this when I saw that John was doing a non-Spielberg picture and then it fell off my radar. Time to read the whole thread.

TheUlyssesian 2,478 Posted November 5, 2013 Share Posted November 5, 2013 Oh I think Williams score will surely get an Oscar nomination. I would bet money on it.The trouble is, while nominating, only the composers vote. While deciding the winners, the entire membership votes. Which is why Williams has so few wins. The composers know he's great, the general membership, not so much. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
