Let's just hope that Williams will deliver an intimate, chamber-textured score for this - and not schmaltz it up as he did in Schindler's List (a fine score off the screen - on screen, not so much).
As in the Schindler case, I think Kilar would have been a great choice for this.
Im sure you'll mention it to Mr. Spielberg if you bump into him and how the score that got an oscar for his OSCAR-WINNING Film was wrong and how you know so much better then he does about the kind of score he should have had for that film..
I'd love to hear that chat..

Here we go again - an interesting thread deteriorates into a back and forth consisting of snarky insults. Can someone explain to me why this happens and what it accomplishes? I am growing weary of it. If this is all you can contribute to a thread, maybe you should look inward and see why you are so miserable.
Blah,Blah,Blah....
The original poster's comments were pretty snaky to start with.
But I'm sure you didn't notice that.
Oh well

Because other people have opinions, and Ford has facts.
Not in this case, I just expressed MY OPINION (Which some folks just can't handle)
But I'd pay good money to see this person have a chance to say that to say this to Steven Spielberg..
I'm sure it would be a very "Annie Hall" Moment.....
(If you don't get the joke, WATCH THE MOVIE)

Let's just be honest:
You are free to like or dislike the score for "Schindler's List."
However, when you state categorically that it is "schmaltzy" and dismiss its effectiveness in the movie with the cutesy "not so much" -- and then fail to cite anything to back up your opinion -- you are flaunting your feigned superiority.
OnlyGoodMusic is not stupid. He knows this score is beloved around here, and it's that rare score that's admired outside our tiny niche. He knows the film was widely praised and that it and the score won Oscars. And yet, he chooses to speak his opinion taking as a given that he knows better. He's baiting people. That's just the fact.
Yes it is......

I agree with you completely. I have stated quite often here that Schindler's List is my favorite score. I just know that there is a point at which the member becomes the target rather than the comment. When that point is reached, things go downhill fast. It took a mere moment for me to become the target of a snarky, condescending response did it not? Opinion is the point whether we agree or not. Baiting and insults should be ignored and not perpetuated.
At this point we could cue the violins to start playing the 'Pity Me" music....

There are vastly more important things to get upset about then my comments in the world.

OK... let's focus on more important stuff than this bullshit.
Has anyone actually heard anything about the score release? It's about a month from release and nothing has been announced yet... does any poster or trailers mention anything about the label releasing the score? I suppose it will be on some major label like Sony or something like that but it would have been nice to have an official announcement.
per the JWfan website it is slated for release on Amazon Germany and Amazon Japan. I assume it will be in the USA

Yeah, we covered that before this thread turned into an anti-Semitic shitshow. I just wanted to write that.
