Thanks. I've never seen any of the fan-transfers. I assummed they were moderate quality... but they look horrible. Very soft, even compared to the OUT release.

I'd say "power" and "point of view" are both pushing the links to the OT. Probably over-extending, and definitely some of Hayden's worst deliveries (though the lead-in to the duel was some of his best). I've always preferred the visual links than the verbal ones. You underestimate my power...

OBI-WAN: I can't watch any more. YODA: Destroy the Sith, we must. OBI-WAN: Send me to kill the Emperor. I will not kill Anakin. YODA: To fight this Lord Sidious, strong enough, you are not. OBI-WAN: He is like my brother ... I cannot do it. YODA: Twisted by the dark side...

All 3 losing composers were robbed - BBM was a 13 minute guitar piece. JW likely split his own vote, even though he put his press time into Geisha I truly believe Munich is a better (and less "self-derivative") score.

Why would it be the same people? I for one like to keep the winners to the criteria at hand, but I wouldn't counterpoint Kevin with "the same people don't like the lifetime achievement" argument.

It did win best score for 13 minutes of music... but yeah, it got robbed... this should make for some great ongoing discussion on 2005.

After a long winter TLB has released an updated version of his great work on Symphony for a Saga. It's a well done "best of" from the TPM soundtrack that should be heard by anyone that owns the original releases. It's not a cut up of cues, but a pretty clean and thought out suite.

I LOVED Archetype on first listen, right up there with Obsolete & Demanufacture for me. Still love it. I really like Fear Factory, but... man... this... album... sucks. There I said it. Maybe 3 good tracks. Complete disaster compared to Archetype.

For Ep1 & Ep2 starwarsshop.com offered both the single & double sided posters. For Ep3 I only saw the double sided for sale so I don't know if there's an official 1 side. Let me know, as I only have the 1st 2 single sided and would buy it for Ep3.

Tim you didn't touch on Utaapau, even once! I love the music for these scenes, especially the Cruiser hanger and Obi-Wan's approach - it's all PT variations of Rebel alliance music and it's a shame it didn't make it to the OST.

I'm interested in BB v FF because of the different film and marketing positions - which will do better in the end? I hope BB continues to do well, and I'd expect we'll start to see more Batman movies with the same talent. Nice... admin trolling! This is the box office thread.

Burtt is going to Pixar to be a director (according to the news back in the SW thread - I'm not gonna try to find it ;) )

News came out about a month ago, buried in a SW thread. FWIW, Burtt was specifically contracted for the PT. He worked outside of ILM/SS & LF before the PT and he had no plans with them afterward.

^good to know though, it's easily become my favorite piece of the PT. It works so well in the movie - once it kicks in I really feel at the apex of the PT and going into the OT.

In the latest super/archive/extended dvd rumors, started over at the OT site, it's guessed that Ep3 will get no more opening space battle, order 66, or the duel... Just more Kashyyyk. There you go Chuck, happy bday!
