There’s too much money and too little time to mess around. Might be ruthless but it’s the movies, baby! 😎 I think a lot of people have this image of the kindly old grandfather, but he’s survived in this business for nearly seven decades for a reason. Indeed.

Popular Post Disco Stu 15,495 Posted August 12, 2019 Popular Post Share Posted August 12, 2019 Oh my god, people are morons. This person thinks they're Sherlock Holmes figuring out how long the movie is but doesn't even know that there's more music in a film than on the OST *Picard facepalm gif* Quote So that’s 2 hours and 15 minutes worth of music that John Williams is writing for Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker, and it sounds like Don Williams is maybe performing with the orchestra on this one too. That makes sense since this is supposed to be the last full score that John Williams will write for a Star Wars movie. However, while this does give us some idea of how long the movie will be, it’s not necessarily representative of the movie’s length. Here’s how the Star Wars movies break down when you compare the length of the film’s soundtracks to the length of the films (rounded to the nearest minute): The Phantom Menace – Film length: 2 hours 13 minutes, Soundtrack length: 1 hour 14 minutes Attack of the Clones – Film length: 2 hours 22 minutes, Soundtrack length:1 hour 14 minutes Revenge of the Sith – Film length: 2 hours 20 minutes, Soundtrack length: 1 hour 12 minutes Star Wars – Film length: 2 hours 1 minute, Soundtrack length: 1 hour 15 minutes The Empire Strikes Back – Film length: 2 hours 4 minutes, Soundtrack length: 1 hour 15 minutes Return of the Jedi – Film length: 2 hours 12 minutes, Soundtrack length: 45 minutes The Force Awakens – Film length: 2 hours 15 minutes, Soundtrack length: 1 hour 17 minutes The Last Jedi – Film length: 2 hours 32 minutes, Soundtrack length: 1 hour 18 minutes Looking at each of the scores compared to the length of the film, it appears that there’s usually roughly one hour less music than film footage. However, that doesn’t necessarily mean we’ll be getting a Star Wars movie that’s 3 hours long, and there’s a chance that not all the music being written for the movie actually ends up being used in it. Furthermore, the score used in the film usually differs somewhat from a film’s given soundtrack release. But Don Williams did say this particular movie will have “top to bottom music,” which would make The Rise of Skywalker stand out from the rest of the Star Wars soundtracks a bit. https://www.slashfilm.com/star-wars-the-rise-of-skywalker-score-length/ Remco, Holko, SteveMc and 9 others 1 11 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is analogous to the top coaches, top CEOs, top directors, etc. They give their best, and they expect those assisting them to give their best as well. Some people misunderstood the anecdote about the dude getting booted between days. It's not that he dropped equipment or anything during a take--I'm sure even John has dropped a baton or a page during a take before--it's that once that mistake happened, he thought in his mind "Oh well the take is ruined now, might as well get silly", much like how you'll see bloopers in movies or TV. This is very common for musicians, who often are inconsolably goofy-ass people (Fellini's Prova D'Orchestra is only an exaggerated version of the truth). Now we know that in John's mind this is unacceptable, as he sees value in a complete performance, and to throw in the towel so to speak after a slight mishap can potentially rob everyone of an amazing performance of the rest of the piece at hand. In this way he's similar to one of his heroes Miles Davis. 3 hours ago, The Illustrious Jerry said: I seem to recall, and though it may just be a rumor, something about Williams hurling furniture at soloists.
