Author	Topic: John Williams starts...

sean Standard Userer	"This picture is locked, Steven's pretty much done editing. And we're going into the phase with John Williams where he starts scoring the movie. He's really writing now and then we'll start scoring in February." --Frank Marshall in Empire Silly rag that Empire, but that quote excites me more than any of this ridiculous Hobbit business, or anything else at the moment! And check out the missile launcher! http://www.empireonline.com/news/story.asp?NID=21881]http://www.empireonline.com/news/story.asp?NID=21881 Thank goodness, Spielberg knows how to lock a picture on time!!! We won't get a retarded/botched/ham-fisted edit with music treated like dirty toilet paper, like George Lucas would have done. [Message edited by sean on 01-30-2008]

tjguitar Standard Userer	Oh, yeah, this is definitely the film I'm most excited for. Score too.

NeoVoyager Standard Userer	Ummmm, you didn't even mention what movie you're talking about, Sean, and I have to register with Empire to read the article. I'm not following the Indiana Jones thing at all, but I presume this is what we're discussing?

gkgyver Standard Userer	quote: Silly rag that Empire, but that quote excites me more than any of this ridiculous Hobbit business, or anything else at the moment! And you wonder why people are sometimes a little p*ssed when talking to you ... I'm willing to bet there are more people excited about The Hobbit being produced than the fourth part of a series that already went past its prime by the third installment.

NeoVoyager Standard Userer	Ah, come on Jeron... you must know that that was a slightly tongue-in-cheek post commenting on the rabid enthusiasm of the Indy fans (and my lack of it). No?

BackToTheFutureFan Standard Userer	Excitement!

posted 01-30-2008 08:33 PM PT (US)

gkgyver Standard Userer	Yes I do, but they are not nearly as staggering.
posted 01-30-2008 08:58 PM PT (US)

sean Standard Userer	HA! gkgyver, honestly, if you're more excited excited about Hobbits than Indiana Jones go off on your merry way and prance around in the Shire for a bit to work out those kinks... Try humour, it works for everyone else, I don't see why it can't work for you: call it The Great Experiment, or whatever floats your boat. See, NeoVoyager is a funny individual and that person had it right in it's response to my shameless Indiana Jones spam! And further, I don't care who or what is scoring The Hobbit, it can NEVER be as exciting or as good as a NEW Indiana Jones score!

tjguitar Standard Userer	For once I agree with sean, this is nearly twenty years of waiting. More excited about a LOTR prequel? Seriously?!?!?
posted 01-31-2008 12:18 PM PT (US)

gkgyver Standard Userer	Yes, seriously. Not to mention there are people who have been waiting for this a whole lot longer than 20 years.

sean Standard Userer	quote: Originally posted by gkgyver: Yes, seriously. Not to mention there are people who have been waiting for this a whole lot longer than 20 years. Ah, so you can see everything you read in the book be made into a movie. That's cutting edge. So, can you actually write about other scores you've heard other than LotR, or scores you haven't heard but feel like adding your useless two-cents to (I'm writing about your insane Bourne Ultimatum comments here)? So, anyway, more important stuff: John Williams, Indiana Jones.

franz_conrad Standard Userer	I don't think gkgyver would be so insolent if he'd heard your RAMBO score, Sean. The duet for tuba and kettle drum on 'My name is John' is stirring and heartbreaking like too little film music is these days.
posted 01-31-2008 02:30 PM PT (US)

sean Standard Userer	It's true, because than he'd see the light. If he's so inclined I can send him all the LotR posters we have at work collecting dust, and I'm sure when New Line sends us Hobbit propaganda than he can have all the character posters for that enchanting film, too. I already grabbed the good stuff: Rambo, Star Trek, Indiana Jones And The Kingdom Of The Crystal Skull, The Dark Knight, and Blade Runner.

NeoVoyager Standard Userer	<<< For once I agree with sean, this is nearly twenty years of waiting. More excited about a LOTR prequel? Seriously?!?!? >>> Yes. Seriously. <<< See, NeoVoyager is a funny individual and that person had it right in it's response to my shameless Indiana Jones spam! >>> "That person"? "it's response"? LOL! My name's Michael. I just haven't wanted to mess up my account by asking for it to be changed. But back to the point: while I was humorously commenting on the fact that you assumed we all knew what you were talking about, I was perfectly serious about not following the Indy 4 thing at all. Perhaps it's because it's slightly before my time, or because I haven't bothered to see the previous Indy movies... but I could hardly be less concerned with the upcoming film or score. Heck, I've never even seen either Star Wars trilogy. 2010 - on the other hand - can't come soon enough. And just so you know where I'm coming from in my anticipation of 'Hobbit' over Indiana Jones... I've never read any of the Tolkien books and don't have any materials related to the movies besides the scores. I've seen the movies once. [Message edited by NeoVoyager on 02-01-2008]

gkgyver Standard Userer	Don't worry, the inability to differentiate between fans of the movies and fans of the books, or fans, shock!, of both is anything but a new phenomenon.
posted 02-01-2008 09:58 AM PT (US)

sean Standard Userer	Neo, I'm glad you caught and found what I wrote humorous, that's how it's done. At least you can laugh about it. It doesn't matter to me that someone isn't concerned with the impending release of a film; there are far more important things going on in the world for each of us, so it doesn't shock or emote any sort of reaction whatsoever from myself that you haven't seen Star Wars or Indiana Jones... There's plenty I haven't seen, either, and will likely never see. It's a forgone conclusion that I'm not watching The Hobbit and that shouldn't bother anyone. Clearly, it bothers pompous windbags like gkgyver that Indiana Jones films/scores register quite highly for me, so far so that I'm willing to read a bit off my rocker when posting shameless and exciting info on that upcoming feature, and far beyond any movie where your heroes are drunk Irish midgets trying to show us that even the smallest person can do big things (that doesn't put me at full salute).

nuts_score Standard Userer	What's this nonsense about Williams using the CEot3K theme in his new score for The Kingdom of the Crystal Skull?! Any truth to this?

gkgyver Standard Userer	It would make sense to me, but it's late at night, and I don't have the nerves left to explain the history of the Crystal Skulls and their connection to extraterrestrial life. And besides, would that be any different than the reuse of Anakin's Betrayal in War Of The Worlds?

I guess it wouldn't be any different than Williams emulating himself all the times, it seems recently. And we give Horner a hard time!

nuts_score Standard Userer	And with the trailer's appearance on Valentine's Day, does that mean that Paramount and Lucasfilm only anticipate one trailer (and no teaser)? For such a high-profile and anticipated release as this, you'd think we'd been seeing more. I'm predicting a stinker with this one; granted, I'll be first in line and giddy as hell to see it, but The Phantom Menace-fear is about to strike all over again.

tjguitar Standard Userer	I see what your saying nuts, but Spielberg is involved in this one. He won't let Lucas wreck it.....will he?

gkgyver Standard Userer	quote: Evidence. Now if you please, trouble-maker. Always nice to be addressed in such a heartfelt manner. It was a JOKE, get over yourself! quote: So, can you actually write about other scores you've heard other than LotR, or scores you haven't heard but feel like adding your useless two-cents to (I'm writing about your insane Bourne Ultimatum comments here)? You know, I would take that serious if 1) I didn't know myself at all, and 2) if you would actually try to lead an intelligent discussion instead of throwing in your own worthless two cents.

sean Standard Userer	HAHAHA!!! gkgyver, no one told you to take me seriously, I certainly didn't... Now come on, that'd be a stretch! You're just a stick in the mud, made all the more clear by your disappointing but not surprising response to Michael and simply your "addition" to this thread. Scoot and head over to the "LOTR Package Update," I'm sure your two-dimensional thinking would be of better use there. [Message edited by sean on 02-05-2008]

Circumstances and people around you are a mirror image of your own state of mind. That's why I feel little connection to 95% of this board anymore. Days like these make one realise how utterly pathetic little quibbles with sean and others really are. Bless you.
