Chris ChrusherComix 46 Posted February 8, 2005 Share Posted February 8, 2005 Happy B-day! Not that he reads this site. And if he did, he'd probably wonder why so many people bash his scores, bash movies that he's scored, and all these dirty and/or sexual jokes and stuff unrelated to scores.

Trumpeteer 302 Posted February 8, 2005 Share Posted February 8, 2005 Figo, just imagine how big the festival will get in 2005 if Williams wins the Oscar this year, and then in 2006 when Episode 3 comes out on DVD.11 films! Oh my! I'll have to start in January!But yes, I always enjoy watching the films. Grouping them together in one festival makes me appreciate the music of John Williams so much more.Jeff -- "Saving Buckbeak," "Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban" (this score is really growing on me now that I have the CD -- a well-deserved nomination. The last third of the film was always great to me, but I'm appreciating the second act more) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Figo 2 Posted February 8, 2005 Share Posted February 8, 2005 Oh wait a minute -- I just realized you're including the prequels. An odd choice to celebrate the master, don't you think, considering his music was hacked up and stitched together like Frankenstein's monster!Oh well. As long as I don't have to watch "A.I." You'll have to send me out for Chinese...Figo, who wouldn't sit through that again, even to celebrate Johnny's 100th. Rozsa's Cello Concerto, with Janos Starker.
