That was a busy year for him -- Sith, Munich, War of the Worlds and Memoirs of a Geisha! A shame, because I'd have much rather heard a John Williams score for Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire than the latter three films.mkaroly wrote: I would love to have the full SITH score - I thought he really nailed it on that one...and wasn't that the year that he did WAR OF THE WORLDS and MUNICH as well? I can't remember the third one he did that year.
Apparently the program for Williams' summer '05 concert at Tanglewood said he was scheduled to score Goblet of Fire. But I guess other things got in the way.mkaroly wrote:Yeah - MOAG...forgot about that one. I too would have liked to see him score Goblet fo Fire - with all due respect to patrick Doyle, I don't remember a thing from that score. My interest in the POTTER films declined starting with that film.
I don't remember a thing about the non-Williams POTTER scores other than how bad they were! And I agree with you, Michael, my interested waned in the series with that installment too. The latter movies have an "expensive Syfy Channel movie" kind of blah, nondescript look to them with appropriately unmemorable music scores. They also became so convoluted, bloated (2.5 hours long) and slavishly faithful to the books that I don't believe anyone other than their fanbase really found them appealing. The last movie was at least better than the other installments, but all of them run together in my mind after the first 3 films.mkaroly wrote:Yeah - MOAG...forgot about that one.

“That will give the film a look that will be extremely respectful of the look George (Lucas) created in the ’70s,” Iger said, “and will play well with ardent ‘Star Wars’ fans and play well with audiences today.”
Iger noted how the use of computer-generated graphics has made filmmaking seem “too easy.” “There’s a sameness to a lot of these films today,” Iger said. “The wow factor isn’t what it used to be. J.J. decided to create the physical wow factor.”
Please JJ - no lens flares!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!AndyDursin wrote:This is what I figured was going to happen. Feather in Abrams' cap here at least:

Oh wow, what an original complaint!mkaroly wrote: Please JJ - no lens flares!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
LOLOLOL point to Mr. Karoly! Thank you!mkaroly wrote:Well, you complain every time someone mentions LEGEND on this board. My complaint may not be original but I am not the only one who is sick of seeing his lens flares. If you stop complaining about LEGEND every time it's mentioned, I will stop complaining about JJ Abrams' lens flares.
