Popular Post Nick1Ø66 4,714 Posted October 24, 2018 Popular Post Share Posted October 24, 2018 Dear Johnny, I was so sorry to hear about your health problems. Stay in London and away from work as long as you need to. A "speedy recovery" is overrated. You must have rest. And by all means, please let me know if you need anything.

Mike Matessino supposedly wrote this on his FB page: "I can tell you that this is a routine illness and that he will be fine. They will simply get him well in a London hospital and then send him home to L.A. as soon as he can travel." that reassures me a bit that it's not something like a stoke or heart attack, but at his age any visit to the hospital is worriying Will 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kostov 58 Posted October 25, 2018 Share Posted October 25, 2018 15 hours ago, Josh500 said: Nice one! You know, this is one of my favourites. The excitement and raw energy is palpable. 3 Great one. Agree with you. I've wanted the new trilogy music to be closer to the prequels. I don't say that in these first two movies the music is bad, John indeed uses a new way of discovering and continuation the Star Wars music, but in the prequels, the music is more energetic, rich of interesting and captivating musical nuances, and you can find something even in a 5 sec. section. In the new trilogy, there is a lot of good music but it's separated by long music sections that are boring(Perhaps it's the director's fault). But of course, I'm thankful to John Williams, that in such an age(also as young) he brought us and is still bringing the best music in the world and in the history of mankind.

Pieter Boelen 740 Posted October 25, 2018 Share Posted October 25, 2018 "The Rebellion is Reborn" happened to play now at random, which is very recent yet still absolutely incredible. It's got the heaviness, but also a tremendous amount of hope, which seems very much appropriate. I hope "John Williams is Reborn" pretty much as soon as possible! And I wish him all the health and happiness. He's deserves that and more a thousand times over. Josh500 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Josh500 1,615 Posted October 28, 2018 Author Share Posted October 28, 2018 This is the original, classic "Theme from Jurassic Park" conducted by John Williams. The power of it is outstanding and mesmerising. This was recorded, apparently, before they decided to speed it up... Which is not as effective and impressive, imo.
