scissorhands 16 Posted June 13, 2003 Share Posted June 13, 2003 Stefan, where is that shark from? I assume it's from Jaws 2 (or 3D, or 4). I don't remember the shark from the first Jaws was that bad.On the other hand, i will have to check out the DVD of Witches (which i don't own) to see whether it has the iso track.

#SnowyVernalSpringsEternal 10,265 Posted June 13, 2003 Share Posted June 13, 2003 It's from the classic 1987 film Jaws The Revenge, directed by the legenday Joseph Sargent, with Loriane Gary, reprising her role of Ellen Brody, Mario van Peebles as an islander and Sir Michael Caine in oone of his very best roles. (he did not pick up his oscar for his role in Hannah and Her Sisters because of his utter commitment to this film.Veteran composer Michael Small wrote a stunning new score which combined elements from the Earlier John Williams work with his own brilliant compositions.Stefancos- who will replace the shark for something even scarier soon.

Adam 1 Posted June 14, 2003 Share Posted June 14, 2003 Either the above post is an attempt at irony or its the post of a proud contrarian. I'm more in agreement with Ebert who gave Jaws - The Revenge 0 out of 4 stars. Rotten Tomatoes scores it at 0% - yikes! Not that critics can't be wrong but I remember this movie being a painful experience for me to sit through. The score is one of the best arguments around for not having other people compose a score using JW's themes and why JW themes without musical range and a corresonding sense of dramtic sensibility and nuance is a really bad combination. Of course, when a movie is this bad, arguably, the score needs to be really bad just to fufill the creation of unintended, horrible campiness.- Adam Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr. Breathmask 555 Posted June 14, 2003 Share Posted June 14, 2003 Steef, you don't actually OWN Jaws: The Revenge? I mean, you had to get that picture somewhere. I sure hope you plucked it off the net somewhere.- Marc, who thinks the subtitle is hilarious. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ray Barnsbury 8 Posted June 16, 2003 Author Share Posted June 16, 2003 Returning to the original topic, my brother and I rented The Witches of Eastwick DVD, and I was surprised to hear practically none of the Ballroom music in the film (which I recently became familiar with thanks to Jeff/Trumpeteer ) That scene was scored with opera instead. I was really disappointed, because the Ballroom music on the CD is stunning, as Justin stated, and among the most romantic Williams has ever done, as Jeff says in his review. Does anyone know why it was replaced? And if the boot was taken from the DVD, how are there two versions of the Ballroom Scene on it?Ray Barnsbury Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Trumpeteer 302 Posted June 18, 2003 Share Posted June 18, 2003 I've never read anything about the decision to include the opera in the ballroom scene instead of the original music. Personally, the opera works just as well.Glad you're enjoying the CD, "Ray." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yoda Longbottom 0 Posted June 18, 2003 Share Posted June 18, 2003 Does the DVD have the isolated score? Is it the one? I haven't still bought it awaiting a few more confirmations concerning the isolated track and instructions how to get to it, as printed on the inside cover of the DVD.Thanks.

Markuz 0 Posted June 18, 2003 Share Posted June 18, 2003 So, what if I say that you can purchase the "Witches of Eastwick", "Born on the 4th of July" as well as the "Jane Eyre" boot regulary at an online store for 19Euros + shipping? There you can furthermore buy boots like TND 2CD complete, Species1/2 etc...Mail me for the webadress of that store:), I ordered and received CDs there several times.RegardsMarkuz Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

King Mark 3,631 Posted June 20, 2003 Share Posted June 20, 2003 I Does anyone know why it was replaced? I wonder.I think they left the end of the cue in the movie for the levitation scene and it's stunning.K.M. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ray Barnsbury 8 Posted June 20, 2003 Author Share Posted June 20, 2003 Yes they did, and you're right, it's great. There's also a little quotation of it when Susan Sarandon (Jane) is falling and then floats by laughing, in the Destruction of Daryl I believe.Ray Barnsbury-who wants to watch the Ballroom Scene on DVD muted with the Ballroom Scene palying on CD Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
