John Crichton 4 Posted June 22, 2004 Share Posted June 22, 2004 It's all about the countdown to Ep. 3 now.With all the top 10 lists that have been flying around lately, maybe we should do some official ones, like the Official Top 10 Scores from a couple of years ago. We could have another top 10 scores, top 10 cues, top 10 themes, worst 10 scores, and any other craziness we can think of. I know we've done most of these unofficially recently, but it would be cool to tally up resuslts and see what the consensus is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flytrumpet 0 Posted June 22, 2004 Share Posted June 22, 2004 As far as i know,it will be impossible to come to any consensus...which is why JW is such a great composer.He adapts to the movie not to people tastes.As for the top 10 thingie...everyone is entitled to their opinion,tastes are not to be discussed,but i agree it can be fun to read about itRichard Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think it could happen, or want it to happen. Just tally up the resuslts and see what ends up on top. I don't agree with all of the scores in the Official Top 10, but I accept the results as the consensus opinion of everyone that submitted a top 10 list.

NeejaHalycon 0 Posted June 22, 2004 Share Posted June 22, 2004 Well for you MV fans out there, King Arthur, The Bourne Supremacy, and Catwoman are coming up quickly. James Newton Howard's The Village is right around the bend, as well. Later on, if you liked Day After Tomorrow, Kloser has another offering: Alien vs Predator. Also, of some note is William Ross' first feature since CoS, a firemen movie called Ladder 49 due out in October. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yoda Longbottom 0 Posted June 22, 2004 Share Posted June 22, 2004 Yes, and since it's bound they will employ the London Symphony Orchestra for the recording of the score, I suggest that the ensemble aborts recording for James Horner. The sound of the ensemble has become Hornerish even on their non-scores material, and it's a dreadful finding.They need the time to get a grip on themselves and realize they're gonna work on Star Wars again.I won't conceal LSO used to be my favorite orchestra years way back when I was picking up recordings of classical music. In recent years, I've been associating them solely with film music, and James Horner respectively. No wonder Howard Shore employed London Philharmonic.But back on subject...

Ollie 1,069 Posted June 22, 2004 Share Posted June 22, 2004 Apparently they have come and gone at the box office as well.POA may not even reach COS's box office and The Terminal may be Spielberg's lowest grossing film in quite awhile.However there is more to film music than John Williams so I really don't think I'll have too much of a problem waiting for Episode III.

But I'm looking forward to Ep III as well, and maybe my above post, which was an intended exaggeration, didn't convey that. And I'm not sure what you mean by "all these projects", since these two are the only confirmed, set-in-stone JW projects that I know of. Oh, an apparently this:Episode 3 is The End of All Things John Williams as far as I'm concernedwhich is an even stronger statement than mine, doesn't fall under "boring, blind, fanatical, and musically narrow-minded" because it's not signed "Ray Barnsbury."

(And while we're on the subject...) Empire of The Sun was good, can't really remember Color Purple, Temple of Doom is great, E.T. is phenominal, Raiders is one of the greatest movies ever, 1941 was just a general miss, Close Encouters I have tons of admiration for, Jaws is amazing, Sugarland is fantastic.

Its politically incorrect to disparage that film, as if its holy. Since I don't do PC, it think this is a flawed film.A.I. is a piece of shit. LW was a visually stunning film with no heart, MR was as cold a film as you could get. Catch Me was very good, and I have no complaints. Hook was a terrible movie, Always and Terminal were boring, and Saving Private Ryan was like SL overrated, and untrue to its subject matter.
