Can't wait to see the special edition cover. [In reply to] Can't Post

And, of course, can't wait to hear the score.

Love it! [In reply to] Can't Post

That Bilbo poster has become my favorite Middle-earth poster by far. Just such an epic shot of one of my favorite characters!! Can't wait to get the soundtrack and play it beside while I'm roaming Middle-earth in Lord of the Rings Online!

Composed only?! [In reply to] Can't Post

Oh, no. Not "Composed by Howard Shore" only, once again!

What's wrong with him doing the orchestration and all that?, like he did for AUJ? One may say it doesn't alter the finished product, but I disagree.

It feels like he's not enjoying the Middle earth ride this time. We shall see.

Well.... [In reply to] Can't Post

Because he is a very busy older man, and he does not have the time and energy to spend on balancing the orchestra, plus dealing with last minute cruch-time re-writes.

Try not to be too quick to assume feelings on Howard Shore's behalf... [In reply to] Can't Post

It isn't fair to him to make statements like that on the basis of - nothing. For all we know it might be his choice for some reason.

None of us knows what does on in his mind - or anyone else's, unless they tell us. Best leave it at that.

Time [In reply to] Can't Post

Although I agree and accept that he is older and may not have the patience necessary, TIME is not an excuse, as he knew he had a trilogy to work with every year.

But I don't have the right to judge, you guys are right.

Thank you dormouse [In reply to] Can't Post

I am weary of having to defend people from aspersions like this (and let's be honest... it's hardest - for me - to read them about Shore)

I feel like I need to keep my past comments on hand and just copy and paste them over and over again.

You have my proxy on this matter.

You're welcome, Magpie, any time... [In reply to] Can't Post

My heart always sinks when I read those kind of comments because it's so intrusive, and insidious. Once one person posts it another will pick it up - well, they've read it somewhere, haven't they - and before you know where you are everyone 'knows' it. Except that they don't know it at all.

you are so right [In reply to] Can't Post

I have watched it work right here.

Someone speculates at to 'intention' or 'motivation' and three months later, that speculated intention/motivation is being quoted as a fact.

I think it's a useful exercise to imagine an event or situation in the life of someone we love or care deeply about (in our real life).

Then imagine a slip of information about that event or situation being put out on the internet for the Web to respond to. We all know that, given the right exposure on the right sites... that bit of info could result in all sorts of assumptions and aspersions and accusations - many really nasty - that would be no where close to accurate or the truth.

We would cry out... 'but you don't have all the facts' or maybe... 'it's not your business.'

Well... let's all use standard we could only hope for if it were our loved ones up for judgment on those we are more distant from.

We don't have all the facts and it's not really our business. I mean, yeah... we'll buy the tickets to the movie and/or buy the soundtrack. But whether someone does 1 task in relationship to this project or 3... that's not really our business such that we can start maligning someone's intention, work ethic, or whatever.

must walk away....

Here izz something that Kind, sorta, FITS here? [In reply to] Can't Post

ITz a Lesson bomby has learned
over & OVER there
& Back again.
Over time

NOT pointing any Nine Fingers.
BUT

Have you ever met someone
who IZZ... "All-Knowing"?

EXAMPLE:
YOU make a Statement
THEY say... you are wrong?

Well,
When you prove to them, They ARE
WRONG?

They jus' say..."HUM"?

Never do
they say

"Oh! I was Wrong".Since, "I Apologize,"....."I'm Sorry.."
Is NOT in their Vocabulary.

THIS Example... is How you
Spot
Someone who
ISzzzz...
"ALL-Knowing"!

Itz kinda sorta, the definition of a "Sociopath"

"A Person who has NO Guilt over what they say or. do.."

Does that make ANY sense?

If, not
then bomby
izz
Wrong.....
TOO!

It is not fair to make statements without a source. What is the source of this image, and are there any other details that go along with it? I can't find anything online ...

I won't be getting the "regular" soundtrack... [In reply to] Can't Post

so I'm kind of curious as to what color the Special Edition soundtrack will be. Perhaps the color of the Extended Edition to DoS (it still confuses me as to why the Special Edition soundtrack is purple, although the signature color is more green)? If this is the case, I sure hope the Extended Edition to BoFA isn't purple (though I would buy it anyway, regardless). I don't even think I'll be buying this poster, since I already have a poster with Bilbo (though I don't have one with Smaug yet, so I may opt for the other poster, unless of course, there's one with Thorin, since I wouldn't mind having one like on the scroll. The one with him, Fili, and Kili in battle mode, not the one with him on the throne, since that one is a little too depressing).Smile

I'm sorry for my presumption, everyone. [In reply to] Can't Post

I didn't mean to offend him or anyone here. And i humbly take back what I said.

I love Howard Shore's songs.

It was one of those cases of momentary frustration and saying without thinking, and i'm deeply sorry for that. It was wrong of me.

Let us move on, please.

No worries :) [In reply to] Can't Post

We're all passionate about these books and films, and sometimes say things in the heat of the moment.

To your credit, you've admitted you did jut that and meant more nothing by it. That's more than can be said for people who make presumptuous statements and then get argumentative.

So chin up... it's good to have a passionate fan of the music in the house :)
