robthehand 3 Posted February 7, 2006 Share Posted February 7, 2006 There was a tie between three scores last round - Sabrina, Stanley & Iris and TPM. Vote off the one you really want to see gone.(If there's a tie this time, THEY ALL GO!! )I vote Sabrina - I like it, but IMO it's the weakest of the three.

Bowie 45 Posted February 7, 2006 Share Posted February 7, 2006 If you have the means, please, I beg you to give each score a good listen.

Romão 2,274 Posted February 7, 2006 Share Posted February 7, 2006 This polls are insignificant, but if TPM goes now, I'll distrust everyone's intentions when voting and thus, the fun of the poll no longer exists. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MSM 126 Posted February 7, 2006 Share Posted February 7, 2006 Sabrina is one of the best scores Williams ever wrote. Stanley and Iris for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John McClane 1 Posted February 7, 2006 Share Posted February 7, 2006 Indeed, like Romão said, these polls are insignificant.But it's also true that it's like offending to John Williams. Some members from the biggest community dedicated to him is voting TPM as his worst score of a 10 years period. Enough is enough, please!I even read the word "weak" referred to TPM. I'm speechless, "Duel of the Fates" is just too amazing to be considered "weak". It's one of the best and strongest themes John Williams composed in the '90s.Mirko - who will now create 80 new accounts to vote 40 times for Stanley & Iris and Sabrina.

Specify it next time (better if it's in huge red letters like your old series of polls).Probably who voted against TPM hasn't enough brain to understand this simple concept.Mirko - who never watched a Prequel movie, but likes both TPM and RotS scores a lot.

AOTC#1 0 Posted February 7, 2006 Share Posted February 7, 2006 Stan and Iris for meOh, and AOTC#1, welcome to the board. Good thing you weren't here for the last set of rounds. AOTC was kicked out fairly early.Yeah I've lurked here for awhile and I am amazed by the attitude that some here have towards AOTC.I mean really its just a great score. Zam the Assasin is just the most amazing piece of music, and I don't think I have ever heard a more beautiful and lovely work than Across the Stars.I just think that some of the older JW fans have just lost touch with John's music. What they see as a step backwards, is in reality growth, and development in his style. But I've noticed that the more older the people are the less enlightened they seem to be, and they are not as accepting of change as we are.By the way I am 19, and while I wish to be a musician, I have no musical talent. Still, I know what I like, and its John's newer stuff, his older stuff is ok, but I mean really its overrated by todays standards.I wish the older members were more like JW himself, you can tell his heart and mind are still young and in touch, the older members should try that for a change.

It's one of my favorites, but I know that it's not a popular choice.I know, I love Sabrina too. Even though it's not allowed to really influence your decision, because it's not in the primary score, the reworking of the main theme for solo violin and orchestra by Williams on the first Cinema Serenade CD is one of the most goreous recordings of that material.

John McClane 1 Posted February 7, 2006 Share Posted February 7, 2006 Yeah I've lurked here for awhile and I am amazed by the attitude that some here have towards AOTC.Oh, some member has the strange tendency to judge a bad movie because it has a bad score, or viceversa. I bet that people hate this score because they hated the movie, and can't judge the movie itself or the score itself on their own. I personally haven't watched the movie and I never listened to the score (actually I listened to the "complete" bootleg only once so I can't judge. The only theme I know better is Across the Stars), so this is just what I saw pretty frequently on this board. I never commented this score or this movie, but I do know the situation here. It's also some kind of general reference, as "AotC sucks", "Zimmer and a lot of his MV clones sucks", "PotC sucks", and "we want the complete Temple of Doom score". I mean really its just a great score.There are a few member who likes this score. As I said, I don't know it, but it's also true that I can't image a Williams score to be that bad. I can accept comments like "worst score of the Prequels Trilogy" or "weakest score of the entire Star Wars Saga", since I can easily guess you just can't compare it with SW, ESB or TMP, but I can't accept it to be the "worst Williams score ever" or those kind of "extreme reviews".I also don't like bashings. If you don't like a score, just avoid it. Why even bother attacking it everytime?and I don't think I have ever heard a more beautiful and lovely work than Across the Stars.Then check out the love themes from any Indiana Jones score (and the Original Trilogy has better themes too by the way...)

Marian Schedenig 8,173 Posted February 7, 2006 Share Posted February 7, 2006 Sabrina. But S&I (which I don't know) is ok as well, the important bit is that TPM stays in for at least a while, as it has some terrific bits. Escape from Naboo (if that's what the cue is called) is among the most exciting action tracks in a long time.Marian - NP: Les rivières pourpres (Bruno Coulais) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
