Bayesian 1,363 Posted November 25, 2019 Share Posted November 25, 2019 3 hours ago, Disco Stu said: What a ludicrous statement. In what way would Disney be a runner-up? There must be a thousand corporations doing more actual harm to people. A company like Dow Chemicals would surely come before them. What actual harm has Disney done to anyone? Withholding movies from repertory theaters, or not paying theme park employees as much as they should, is not the same as poisoning water supplies. 3 hours ago, crumbs said: Or any of the corporations making billions digging up finite resources to burn for fuel. The disproportionate, cult-like obsession people have with Disney and the "harm" they're causing to society is indeed perplexing, if you have any grasp of reality and the harm some companies are actually causing to our planet. Oooh, "woke Disney" and their evil social engineering, infecting Star Wars with radical ideas like, "enslaving and abusing animals is bad." Those monsters! Allow me to sheepishly walk back my post— since it’s quite true Disney isn’t in the same league of true destruction or deceit as those companies. But in the entertainment industry, Disney is behaving increasingly monopolistic and that’s guaranteed to get worse before it gets better. I’m kind of surprised the DOJ allowed them to take over 20thCF. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jay 37,368 Posted December 4, 2019 Author Share Posted December 4, 2019 The TFA OST didn't leak early, did it? I have a vague memory of waking up on release day and listening to it for the first time via Spotify. I remember TLJ leaked early, but don't remember if it was a true "leak", or just arriving when it became midnight in AU/NZ like always, which is like 8-9ish in the morning on Thursday my time Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Taikomochi 1,136 Posted December 4, 2019 Share Posted December 4, 2019 TFA leaked on Tuesday of the week leading up to the release because Amazon accidentally put it up for people who had preordered it digital. If I recall correctly, it didn’t have any track names with it, but those had already leaked separately. I remember because I was already intimately familiar with all the themes going into my screening on Friday TLJ leaked Wednesday.

Jay 37,368 Posted December 4, 2019 Author Share Posted December 4, 2019 Ah yes I remember all that now And there was also a picture posted of one of the two OSTs, I forget if it was TFA or TLJ, at like a pressing plant or backroom or something, too, but I don't think that was related to a leak of any audio Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Taikomochi 1,136 Posted December 4, 2019 Share Posted December 4, 2019 I think that’s how the track list for TLJ got leaked. I have a vague memory of seeing pics of the digipak opened up with the track list visible, and no one believed Williams would name the last track “Finale”.

Jay 37,368 Posted December 4, 2019 Author Share Posted December 4, 2019 I remember now, one of the people who legally received the OST early from the Amazon mp3 screwup actually had a JWFan account and kicked off the discussion of it https://www.jwfan.com/forums/index.php?/topic/25881-the-force-awakens-album-discussion-no-film-spoilers/ Taikomochi and Will 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Edmilson 7,465 Posted December 5, 2019 Share Posted December 5, 2019 Yeah, TLJ indeed leaked on the Wednesday before the movie's premiere. As soon as it appeared on that site dedicated to the iconic Japanese RPG series, I downloaded it. Then I listened to it for the first time on Wednesday December 13, 2017 (one day before the movie premiere here) and then a second time on Saturday, Dec 16, before watching the movie on Dec 17.

Taikomochi 1,136 Posted December 5, 2019 Share Posted December 5, 2019 I listened to it... many times before seeing the film. As many as could reasonably be done when factoring for work and sleep. Then, I felt like I wish I hadn’t known about the Luke and Leia appearance. Think I’ll go blind this time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crumbs 14,317 Posted December 5, 2019 Share Posted December 5, 2019 After seeing TLJ without hearing the score first, I couldn't imagine doing it any other way. Having that theme's appearance spoiled by The Spark would have completely ruined one of the film's best surprises. Ditto the Yoda theme earlier on.

Manakin Skywalker 4,896 Posted December 5, 2019 Share Posted December 5, 2019 I haven't listened to any of the scores before watching the films. That's the best experience in my opinion. I watch the film, hearing a bunch of music I've never heard before, trying to keep track of the new themes, and trying to guess what will and won't be on the soundtrack when I listen to it the next day. bollemanneke and Cerebral Cortex 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Taikomochi 1,136 Posted December 5, 2019 Share Posted December 5, 2019 Knowing about the Yoda theme didn’t really ruin anything for me, but maybe that’s because my attachment to that theme is not so strong. It wasn’t even about having plot details spoiled. My attachment to the Luke and Leia theme is so strong; I think it’s one of Williams’ best. I think I would have sobbed in that theater had I not known, hearing a new rendition of that theme for the first time in decades, as sober and lovely as it was. My thought in listening first has been so I won’t be as disappointed by the cues not on album as I would be trying to hunt down my favorite moments heard in the film after the fact.

Edmilson 7,465 Posted December 5, 2019 Share Posted December 5, 2019 I admire you guys for waiting to watch the movie before listening to the score, I really do. But I can't do it, I simply can't. As soon as I see a new score that I'm eagerly waiting to listen, I don't wait, I listen to it as soon as possible. Of course, when I don't care about the score or the composer, I watch the movie first, and then I decide if I want to listen to the score or not. But on this case, I wouldn't be able to. On TLJ's case, I was expecting that Luke and Leia would meet at some point anyway, so I wasn't so surprise by the appearance of their theme on The Spark. Much more "infuriating", so to speak, was Yoda's theme on The Sacred Jedi Texts. aj_vader and _deleted_ 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
