We should fire John Williams!

I was talking to my musician friend, who, being an obvious expert of music through his ability to play the guitar, he said that John WIlliams was a hack.

"Hack?" I said. That was mostly due to teh fcat that I wanted clarification of the meaning of teh word.

"Yeah. All of his musical scores are nearly identical...with the exception of Amistad. Man, that was really weird."

I thought and throught. Sure, his songs define movies like Indiana Jones, Jaws, and Star Wars, along with Juriassic Park, and many others, but even though they're amazing, they;re all really similar.

Why should we let this hack write another score that's just like every other score? I hear he's actually going to recycle mucis from teh originals. Pish. Man, we need some new talent in there.

I suggest that we use either Ice-T or bongo legend Pancho Sanchez. Imagine the possibilities!

... yeah. let's imagine how bad it is...

The main Star Wars theme may be very Williams style- especially compared to Superman- but this is the man who gave us the Imperial March and Duel of the Fates. Begone with your criticisms!

It was actually supposed to be satirical. I love John Williams. I guess i'm the only guy who ever met anyone who said, "Star wars was good, but I wish it has some rock in it!!!11one"

Why post something that you don't mean? I mean God you had me going there. Tell your friend that I said HE is a HACK WANNA BE. If JW is that good and a hack I would like to see someone that HAS musical talent. JW writes for the scene, every thing in the movie has to sound like Star Wars. Rock would only destroy GL's original vision.

If being able to play a guitar makes one an expert musician, then we've got Juliard candidates in Junior High's all over the country.

Ask your friend if he saw HP and the POA. My wife and I weren't sure if it was Williams, but it was, and it was brilliant.

I am not very familiar with John Williams music, but I love the theme from Schindler's list. I've only heard two of his music and both of them start on a fith

Williams did score all the of the HP movies.

I think this musician friend must be a failed one and gelous of other people's talent.

Did he? Hedwig's theme is quite good

This is a complete loss of time... nevertheless, I'm gonna answer...
Don't you have your own opinion about John Williams, that you need the opinion of your so full-of-music-knowledge friend of yours?
Do you really think that all J. Williams's scores sounds the same way? Then... I think you should clean your ears from time to time...
Moreover, don't you think that a composer with 5 oscars and 42 nominations may be good, apart, of course, of well considered?
This is a complete loss of time...

ups!, I nearly forget the 17 Grammys, three Golden Globes, two Emmys and five BAFTA Awards from the British Academy of Film and Television Arts that he also possess...

We should fire John Williams!

yeah, thanks for the pointless thread.
can we fire you?

yeah, but imagine the glory of "a long time ago etc...." *pause* - and then ace of spades by motorhead as the words star wars burst onto the screen....

awesome!!!....

seriously though, i want these films to be a slavish remake of the originals so williams is in for me without a second thought, whether he's a past-his-prime hack or not.....

and the original thread was meant to be an ironic joke, in case anyo9ne missed it....

love the yoda sig thing PVS....

I suggest you hunt down a copy of Rage Against the Machines and Leviathan playing versions of Imperial March then, as I have...

at the expense of bending this thread till it breaks...
the HP3 score was very good and a dark and tragic departure from the previous two films
(back to subject matter)
each one of Williams scores for the SW films has given us more themes, as previous stated by others, Duel of the Fates, Imperial March et-al and I'm really looking forward to hear what JW will conjure up for RotS.

I think that if your guitar playing friend, who is a music expert, thinks that he can do a better or more original job, then he should get together with his little garage band friends, and try to come up with a score for any SW movie, submit it to LFL, and see what they, along with the countless number of fans, think about it.

And not to get personal, but i really want to know....do you have dyslexia? cause in every sentence you write, you have backwards words. And before i make fun of you, I'd like to know if you have a condition or if you just really don't know english that well.

LEXDYSIA? john williams is a genius. star wars wouldve been a crap movie if it wasnt a JW score. in fact that score is the main reason why i wanted to be a musician (along with elton john) its been my goal for six years to be a film scorer. so NOW i universaly say to john williams: thank you for your beautiful music, it is inspiring and wonderful.
