John Williams Caption Competition!

"Shouldn't I be wearing a mask?"

[GerateWohl 4,357]

Don't you think, too, that our dress code reflects our music?

 

 

[Jurassic Shark 12,066]

 

JW: I came here with the exact same outfit so I had to run home and change.

[Jurassic Shark 12,066]

 

JW: Congrats on your *cough* LOOVELY score! Here's a fun fact for you - our hair quantity ratio is inversely proportional to our music quality ratio. Funny, right?

[GerateWohl 4,357]

 

"You look better without the beard, Ludwig, but I still don't like your Mandalorian score."

 

 

 

[BB-8 3,473]

"Tell me, my dear, why weren't you able to compose a theme for Obi-Wan yourself?"

[Naïve Old Fart 9,516]

"It's an honour to meet you, Mr. Zimmer".

[BB-8 3,473]

"I am one with the Force, and the Force is with ME."

[Obi 404]

"I like you, but beware, I wouldn't let nobody compose for Rey"

[Tom 4,653]

You know, I spent a lot of time in England in the 80s.  How old are you again?  

[GerateWohl 4,357]

"

NH: "I...I can't believe it!"

JW: "That is why you fail."

[Jurassic Shark 12,066]

NH: But you didn't score the Clone Wars?
JW: Yes, I was once a Jedi Knight the same as your father.

NH: ...

[GerateWohl 4,357]

NH: "Sorry, but many of your fans are dreadful."

JW: "I know."

NH: "How can you live with this?"

JW: "I think, it's better, they listen to my music than building pyres for young film composers like you."

[Jurassic Shark 12,066]

JW: I apologize I'm late, but Harry was having a colonoscopy and we had to jam a ninety-piece orchestra into the room.

[BB-8 3,473]

NH: "It's Holt, not Holst!"

JW: "How could I have forgotten that."

 

 

 

 

 

[bruce marshall 1,315]

"Nice to see you again MS.Portman. Are you still single?"

[Jurassic Shark 12,066]

JW: Show me your teeth.

NH: ...

JW: I'll give you twenty bucks.

NH: ...?

" You mean some  DAME won a composing OSCAR?. Is that what you're telling me, girlie?!"

 

 

😅

[Naïve Old Fart 9,516]

No, Natalie. I am your father.

[Jurassic Shark 12,066]

JW: What the world needs now is love, sweet love.

NH: ...

[Naïve Old Fart 9,516]

Ah! Dairy Box 

[Jurassic Shark 12,066]

JW: This is the hand that wrote the score to Star Wars.

NH: Really? 

JW: Yes, the other one was inhibited by arthritis after writing all those repeated notes for Jaws.

[bruce marshall 1,315]

JW: One piece of advice: Never score more than THREE films in any franchise. No matter how much money they offer you!"

[BB-8 3,473]

"When 90 years old you reach, look as good, you will not."

Fixed!

[Marian Schedenig 8,192]

Do you know what I did to other composers in the 90s?

 

I tore Alex apart with my bare hands, 1991.

 

Aaron I stabbed in the gut in 1990.

 

Georges, same thing, 1992.

 

Him I let live, because he doesn't speak English.

 

And André, too, because he wasn't interested in Hollywood anymore.

 

Lennie I stabbed in the neck, also 1990. - In the neck!? - With a Bleistift, ja, ja.

 

And then I went back to Steven, and he showed me his film, and I said to him: "I really think you need a better composer than I am for this film."

[bruce marshall 1,315]

" And , in the 2000s , I killed off Dexter Morgan's bitchy wife!"

[bruce marshall 1,315]

" Mr.Williams, what are you doing with your other hand?"

[BB-8 3,473]

"And then I picked up the phone like this and told Steven..."

 

 

 

[Jurassic Shark 12,066]

JW: I don't know what you want. If you are looking for a theme, I can tell you I don't have any. But what I do have are a very particular set of skills, skills I have acquired over a very long career, skills that make me a nightmare for people like you. If you let this assignment go now, that'll be the end of it.

[BB-8 3,473]

"No, I won't be able to compose a fanfare for Queen Elizabeth II, and I shall only return to the Royal Albert Hall under the condition that the UK revokes Brexit and joins the EU in solidarity with Ukraine."

[Naïve Old Fart 9,516]

Fancy a quick one?

[bruce marshall 1,315]

JW: What's with the forced, nervous smile. Do I make you feel uncomfortable?

[Naïve Old Fart 9,516]

"Yeah. What's with the stupid grin?"

"Life's been good, to me".

[BB-8 3,473]

"This is how you hold a Wagner tuba."

[GerateWohl 4,357]

JW: "You know, what's funny? You young people with all your computers and composition software, you should be composing much better music than we did in the past. Actually, someone told me, you could open Sibelius, drop your head blindly on your computer keyboard multiple times and it would probably come up with something more interesting, than what I hear in Kenobi. So, what is your secret?

NH: "What do you mean?"

JW: "How do you manage to tame your creativity that much?"

NH: "Today we work differently. You write two minutes of highly creative music per day. But we must be much faster. So, we just write 20 seconds and spend the rest of the day stretching that over 20 minutes by copy paste. That way we are ten times faster than you."

JW: "And how do you write those 20 seconds?."

NH: "I open Sibelius and blindly drop my head on the keyboard multiple times."

JW: "Ah, I got it. That's really different. But your Loki theme is quite nice."

NH: That was actually written by my cat walking across my desk."

JW: "You should credit her."

She's dead. All the good composers are dead.

JW: "No, I mean dropping a Bleistift on the keyboard and consulting Sibelius. Actually, I wasn't aware that Sibelius was still alive."

[Raiders of the SoundtrArk 2,433]

NH: And then we've got the brillant idea of not using Vader's theme when he appears.

JW: Hahaha.

NH: Why are you laughing?

JW: That makes 42 years now that I'm enable to perform a concert without including the Imperial March and you thought you could actually score a show with Darth Vader without his theme? You're in so much trouble.

[Jurassic Shark 12,066]

JW: ...but you could have done more.

[Naïve Old Fart 9,516]

Yes, it really is this big.

[bruce marshall 1,315]

JW: I have a friend I'd like you to meet. His name is Thor. You don't mind if I give him your phone number, do you?"

[Jurassic Shark 12,066]

Paging @Thor!

 

JW: I've got one Oscar for each finger on my left hand.

[Jurassic Shark 12,066]

 

JW: Don't show any teeth.

WR: And I just had them whitened!

 

[Naïve Old Fart 9,516]

Tony Hopkins has got nothing on me.

[Marian Schedenig 8,192]

I never drink… wine.

[BB-8 3,473]

"Hm, am I possibly over-dressed? Next time turtle-neck!!!"
