The love of Predator 2 from Jackman and Zimmer was pretty awesome.

I suspect if John Williams were part of one of these round table discussions there would be too much fawning on the part of some, perhaps all, of the other participating composers ('Your score for "Star Wars" changed my life...') I know if I were on a panel on which he was taking part, I'd keep my question responses as succinct as possible so "the man" had every chance for discourse. Exactly. He would be a "God" to many, and while Williams is pretty good and humble in receiving praise, it would be a bit awkward -- at least to me. That being said, I'd love to see him participate in a heartbeat. Most of the interviews that have been conducted with him are more formal -- this would be a rare chance to see him in a more informal setting. Yes, in theory, it's a "neat idea" to have John Williams participate in a dialogue with other composers. But I know friends who have seen him at BMI functions and such and, even in this setting, they say it's like kids lining up at the mall to see/talk to Santa Claus (do they do this in Norway, Thor?). My feeling is that instead of a meaningful dialogue taking place amongst seven composer panel interviewees you'd have one interviewee (Williams) and six interviewers (not including the HR people). I watched the last interview and thought Steven Price was the most interesting to observe as he spent most of his time listening and absorbing (just what I would do) while the others were "holding court."

Hollywood-type swooning is very far removed from the Norwegian sentiment. Yes, I wonder where that "ass-kissing", as I usually call it, come from. Some american interviews are almost embarrassing to listen to, with not a critical question in sight.

While I like the Gravity score, and Price's interview is very interesting, I wish I would be able to see the film without a musical score.
