Guest Posted July 9, 2004 Share Posted July 9, 2004 The Horner of movie posters. Ha! I'd say possibly the Williams or Goldsmith, but after looking over his resume...not Horner. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

#SnowyVernalSpringsEternal 10,265 Posted July 10, 2004 Share Posted July 10, 2004 That BR poster is an abomination, totally misses the atmosphere of the film.Drew just went up another norch on my shit list. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MSM 126 Posted July 10, 2004 Share Posted July 10, 2004 It is unbelievably difficult to draw as photorealistic as this. You would know if you'd draw yourself.I haven't seen BR, but regarding to atmosphere maybe you're right since his original CoS art also missed the atmosphere of the movie. But just technically seen he's truly a master. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JoeinAR 1,949 Posted July 10, 2004 Share Posted July 10, 2004 I'm tired of Struzan, nothing he does is original, its all the same. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lurker 5 Posted July 10, 2004 Share Posted July 10, 2004 Don't blame Struzan. Blame the marketing people that create the photo layouts that they then ask Drew to paint.Neil Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steven Awalt 0 Posted July 10, 2004 Share Posted July 10, 2004 Speaking of the "Tom Sawyer" score, people here (and at FSM) have asked if John Williams wrote some of the music or if its all literally adapated from Sherman brothers writing. I've always wondered about this score, along with "Fiddler on the Roof," "Valley of the Dolls" and "Mr Chips": what exactly did Williams do on these scores? Anyone definitively know for sure?

Morlock 11 Posted July 10, 2004 Share Posted July 10, 2004 As I understand it- he did write for Mr. Chips and Valley of The Dolls, and didn't for Fiddler on The Roof and Tom Sawyer. I have a couple JW tracks from Mr. Chips, and they are wonderful. For fiddler I believe he didn't write anything, but he was VERY active in the process. Arranged and conducted everythign, even the international versions. (He went to Germany to conduct the German language versions of the songs) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steven Awalt 0 Posted July 10, 2004 Share Posted July 10, 2004 Thanks for the info, Morlock. Shame about "Fiddler," as I particularly love that CD and would love to know Williams could take credit for it. Still, its interesting to hear how much he was involved (enough to earn his first Oscar, at the very least). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
King Mark 3,631 Posted July 10, 2004 Share Posted July 10, 2004 But on the newest release of Fiddler,isn't there a track credited to Williams?K.M.Who aslo likes an orchestral track from Mr.ChipsK.M 2,Who has a great number of "unknown" Williams pieces,since his custom Crusherpromos don't have track titles.

#SnowyVernalSpringsEternal 10,265 Posted July 10, 2004 Share Posted July 10, 2004 Didn't Williams do some source cues for Fiddler? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fommes 154 Posted July 11, 2004 Share Posted July 11, 2004 He wrote some music for Fiddler, at least that's what the latest edition says... I think two cues, the Entr'acte for instance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eplicon 53 Posted August 11, 2004 Share Posted August 11, 2004 Nothing of Struzan strikes me as anything fanciful anymore. I liked it when he did the BTTF films, but since then, it's been fairly monothematic. No "ooh" or "aah" factor in there.This is what the Episode I poster should've been like, even though it lacked the flavor of the original trilogy.

Kendal_Ozzel 36 Posted September 7, 2004 Share Posted September 7, 2004 Has anybody picked up either of these scores yet? I keep meaning to go to Best Buy to get The Missouri Breaks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adam 1 Posted September 7, 2004 Share Posted September 7, 2004 I took a chance on Tom Sawyer. Its about what I expected. The music was written by someone else but JW is still showcased in the sense that the arrangments have his stamp of quality on them. There's some pure orchestral versions of the major songs and other moments like a honky-tonk piano rift where his arranging is showcased. Still, musicals can be cheesy and this is no exception.I've had Missouri Breaks and I like this a lot. Its unlike anything he's written in that he writes in a pure bluegrass kind of style, not using any standard orchestra. The love theme is nice and his banjo writing is impressive. Its not a typical JW score by any stretch which is either good or bad, depending on what a person is looking for in his music.- Adam Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
