(i mean it is not like rome, the vatican or even Santigao de Compostela...)Maybe the Mexican(? or US?) one?EDIT: I think i found it regarding this Net information is right. One person had asked it: : Does anyone know where the phrase "Holy Toledo" came from?: Don't know if it's relevant but Toledo steel was used in medieval swords - renowned for it's quality - which may have been used in wars against the Infidels. (this one may not have any relation)"holy Toledo! - This exclamation of surprise refers to Toledo, Spain, which became one of the great centers of Christian culture after its liberation from the Moors in 1085. Its thirteenth-century Gothic cathedral, one of the largest in Europe, is the seat of the Cardinal Archbishop of Spain." "Morris Dictionary of Word and Phrase Origins" by William and Mary Morris (HarperCollins, New York, 1977, 1988).Its so strange we dont use it, at least in my region...

Vaderbait1 1 Posted February 2, 2006 Share Posted February 2, 2006 This is amazing. How is AI getting less and less votes each round? It's like you people are trying to spite me. Anyways, I switched my vote to Azkaban. That score isn't good enough to have no one voting for it. We're getting down to the really good scores, with the exception of AI. Well, and Memoirs was kinda bland. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Elmo Lewis 6 Posted February 2, 2006 Share Posted February 2, 2006 Luke, it's very common in American English (well, I feel like I could just scratch the "English" part) to use the word "Holy" before pretty much any noun, to use as an interjection. As in: "Holy cow", which I guess you've heard somewhere, or the less respectful "Holy shit". The "Holy Toledo", one can guess, is more popular because of the similar sound in "holy" and "tole" from "Toledo". Sort of like "Holy guacamole".It doesn't express much about the holyness of the noun in question, though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AzOutcast 122 Posted February 2, 2006 Share Posted February 2, 2006 Sorcerer's StoneJust wondering here . . . are the rest of you making your votes based on the Official CD that was released of the above films, or are you judging by the entire score used in the film, how it was used, etc?For me, it's a bit of both. I'm primarily going of the CD though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheRuleOfThirds 0 Posted February 3, 2006 Share Posted February 3, 2006 Sorcerer's Stone. To me, it was an above-average wall-to-wall score from Williams, but it was a little bland. PoA's better. CoS is better. Both of those make me excited when I think about them. PoA on the whole does that, while "Flying Cars" and probably a couple other cues only do that from CoS. But I would seriously think about leaving this forum if AI were voted off. It's a fantastic piece of art and it's bullshit that you kids (yes, even the grownup ones) aren't mature enough to see that.

There are great action cues, epic themes and I rather dug the end credits. Point being, I wonder if our viewpoint on the film has an effect (either concious or unconcious) on our choices. For example, I don't like the Harry Potter films. I just recently picked up the scores and have yet to really get into them (although I'm really diggin' PoA at the moment).

Salacius 7 Posted February 3, 2006 Share Posted February 3, 2006 The Terminal was voted off. I think people should leave the forums. :roll: Although TSS is pretty bland to me, comparing it to POA and ROTS. How many times can I listen to Hedwig's theme or the Flying theme?erm... about 3.897.786.876 and counting?I'm sorry to deliberate like this butPOA: watery orchestrations, far too simple themes for Williams and very repetitive and borderline boring action cuesROTS: Again action cues that leave you nothing to remember on the end of the listening experience, uninteresting orchestrations and even the main theme of Battle of the Heroes is unlistenable to me due to the bland orchestration and the weak recording.Only two cues saved the soundtrack for me : Anakin's Betrayal and ImmolationEven the end titles were slow and lucked steam.As for TSS I suggest you take another listen 'cause there are tones of inspiring, rousing themes.Again for me this was the score that brought back the classic Williams style in terms of both Composition and Orchestration.

Mr. Breathmask 555 Posted February 3, 2006 Share Posted February 3, 2006 I enjoy both PoA and RotS immensely. RotS as a whole in the film does indeed have plenty of missed opportunities. I was so disappointed when Escape from Naboo appeared again, and the tracking of The Arena over the assault on the Jedi temple is unforgivable. But I like the music Williams did write for the film a lot (between the two, PoA is better, though).- Marc, who so far has not voted once. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
