Guest Posted June 7, 2003 Posted June 7, 2003 The paranoia, oh the paranoia. I feel like I am the only person in the world who likes JW. Tell me it isn't true..tell me it isn't.
Elmo Lewis 7 Posted June 7, 2003 Posted June 7, 2003 A lot of people love John Williams. They just don't know who he is.
scissorhands 16 Posted June 7, 2003 Posted June 7, 2003 Am I the only one..... who thinks this is Off-Topic?
HPFAN 1 Posted June 7, 2003 Posted June 7, 2003 I like JW he is a good composer. He isn't any body special its not like im a big fan and have some of his music in my cd player its not like i'm a part of a fan message board where we discuss his work.
Marian Schedenig 10,855 Posted June 7, 2003 Posted June 7, 2003 No, I like him too, he did the cinematography or something on Yellow Submarine, that was quite well-done.Marian - The Football Game from Sleepers

JoeinAR 1,955 Posted June 7, 2003 Posted June 7, 2003 He was an ok basketball player, but the legacy of the cheating scandal when he was at Tulane University still follows his to this day. I neither like him or dislike him, he just is.
Guest Posted June 7, 2003 Posted June 7, 2003 john williams is so kewl i luv is musik for back tot he future and robin hood i also like his musick for lotryeah but you are overlooking his masterpieces like willow, star trek ii and all that. Or is that deliberate, are you snubbing those scores?
A24 4,933 Posted June 7, 2003 Posted June 7, 2003 John Williams? Nah, I prefer Julian Bream. He's the true master.----------------Alex Cremers

Or is that deliberate, are you snubbing those scores?Er...peeps maybe I've got my JW facts somewhat mucked up here, but he didn't write Back to the Future, Robin Hood OR Willow!BttF was Alan Silvestri, Robin Hood was Michael Kamen and Willow was James Horner! Unless there are all secret bootleg versions where John Williams re-wrote all the music (which I severly doubt he he) I'm very confused!
JoeinAR 1,955 Posted June 7, 2003 Posted June 7, 2003 wait, could I have been mistaken, were you referring to the sniper maybe?
ajaytee 0 Posted June 7, 2003 Posted June 7, 2003 ok ok so I'm the stupid one. Not being familiar with this board I misinterpreted everything. I am in fact fully aware of the facts...John Williams is that punk rocker right?
Lurker 5 Posted June 7, 2003 Posted June 7, 2003 John Williams did an excellent job installing my car CD changer.Neil

tpigeon 3 Posted June 7, 2003 Posted June 7, 2003 Isn't he a composer? He did Forrest Gump, right? Anyway, his music is all simple brass melodies. A Baby could compose it.Ted
Lurker 5 Posted June 7, 2003 Posted June 7, 2003 Isn't he a composer?He also plays classical guitar.Neil
A24 4,933 Posted June 7, 2003 Posted June 7, 2003 He also plays classical guitar. He tries to play classical guitar. But in Australia they kinda dig him. ----------------Alex Cremers
A24 4,933 Posted June 7, 2003 Posted June 7, 2003 And he got one lucky break and composed that Deer Hunter theme.But that doesn't earn him the right to be up there with all the major players in Hollywood. Hans Zimmer will soon show him his place.----------------Alex Cremers

jsawruk 0 Posted June 8, 2003 Posted June 8, 2003 A lot of people love John Williams. They just don't know who he is.Agreed. The person I'm going with to the JW concert wasn't quite sure she knew who he was, but I guarantee that she will know everything they play at the concert. Ren, I also have taught JW in music classes (at the undergraduate level, while still an undergraduate!).
Marian Schedenig 10,855 Posted June 8, 2003 Posted June 8, 2003 John who?John Williams, a bald guy with a white beard and glasses.Marian - LOL
Rogue_Leader 2 Posted June 8, 2003 Posted June 8, 2003 Am I the only one who is REALLY tired of these "Am I the only one who ______" topics?
Rogue_Leader 2 Posted June 8, 2003 Posted June 8, 2003 i think we are all being sarcastic here.Everyone BUT me!
charlesk 0 Posted June 9, 2003 Posted June 9, 2003 No, I don't like him, he is too brassy. Jane Eyre? Too stringy. Hook? Too tonal. Images? Too atonal. CMIYC? Too jazzy. Paper Chase? Too classic. CE3K? too contemporary. Lost World? Too drummy. MR? Too cold. ET? Too warm... He's just too much of everything...
VanessaViool 0 Posted June 9, 2003 Posted June 9, 2003 No, you're not alone. I like him to and I love his music!
Luke Skywalker 2,262 Posted June 9, 2003 Posted June 9, 2003 I prefer Hans Zimmer...Luke, who cannot believe he wrote that PS: I was joking, joking, joking. Please do not mind what i said John Williams RulesLuke 2, relieved
Miguel Andrade 1,631 Posted June 9, 2003 Posted June 9, 2003 The paranoia, oh the paranoia. Â I feel like I am the only person in the world who likes JW. Tell me it isn't true..tell me it isn't.Yes, you're alone... everyone else here just like to keep talking about someone they really don't know and don't care about!!!Other than that, way do you think Mr. Williams is one of the most well known composers ever -- you may not know his name, but everyone know his tunes!
Justin 2 Posted June 9, 2003 Posted June 9, 2003 He's just too much of everything...His Raiders score is just too good. Justin
Wojo 2,458 Posted June 10, 2003 Posted June 10, 2003 Am I the only one who is REALLY tired of these "Am I the only one who ______" topics? Â NO!Apparently, Rogue Leader, you and the rest of the board were when I posted this number back on June 6:Am I the only one who is sick of all of these "Am I the only one who likes..." posts? Â I mean, Jiminy Christmas, the joke is old. Â What's next? Â Am I the only one who likes air? Â Am I the only one who likes to sleep? Â Am I the only one who likes John Williams? http://jwfan.net/index.php?name=PNphpBB2&f...iewtopic&t=3180Let's look at that little beauty again, shall we?Am I the only one who likes John Williams? AI, your originality in picking a post is lacking, since I predicted it. It was only a matter of time before someone would follow the sad little "am i the only one who..." formula to John Williams himself. I'm only complaining about this one because I called it; I know there will be more to come.It's quite easy to pick out all the sarcasm in this particular post, it's so thick you almost need boots to wade through. Just surprised no one mentioned if they were the only one who liked John Williams -- the guitarist. Er wait, someone did.Just remember that Williams isn't the only quality composer in the business; everyone is capable of writing gems, even Horner and Goldsmith and *gasp* Zimmer, just as everyone is capable of writing stinkers, even Williams. Seems like some are mocking non-Williams scores for simply the sake of doing so.Now please, say I'm not the only one who's sick of these "am i the only one who..." posts!!!
Rogue_Leader 2 Posted June 10, 2003 Posted June 10, 2003 I think we need to have Ricard or Andreas make a new rule to kill these threads on sight!
MSM 128 Posted June 10, 2003 Posted June 10, 2003 John who?John Woo? What's he got to do with this!? Is it a pseudo for JW!?? LOL
Lurker 5 Posted June 10, 2003 Posted June 10, 2003 I think we need to have Ricard or Andreas make a new rule to kill these threads on sight! Â Damn, snubbed again.Neil
Rogue_Leader 2 Posted June 11, 2003 Posted June 11, 2003 I think we need to have Ricard or Andreas make a new rule to kill these threads on sight! Â Damn, snubbed again.NeilOh yeah I forgot you were a mod!
Morn 8 Posted June 13, 2003 Posted June 13, 2003 He tries to play classical guitar. But in Australia they kinda dig him. Â Excuse me?
A24 4,933 Posted June 13, 2003 Posted June 13, 2003 Alright, LOL , for an instance I thought you didn't get it. Now I know you do. Sorry. Nothing should be up.----------------Alex Cremers
Elmo Lewis 7 Posted June 14, 2003 Posted June 14, 2003 I hope I am not the only one concerned that this thread is inevitably going to get 2 pages.
Morn 8 Posted June 14, 2003 Posted June 14, 2003 Where have you been, Morn? Â There was a thread about to that topic that you apparently missed.
