In addition to that new material, Williams took several themes and expanded them into more developed pieces for the soundtrack album. "I was stunned by the amount of music he wrote," says Ross. <b>"We were on the 12th day of a 13-day recording schedule and I received a package with new cues to record.</b> That night I actually called John and told him I was sending the music police to confiscate his pencil! I think he just couldn't stop writing." Ross did not compose any new material himself; everything he wrote was based on John's material. Williams insisted, though, that Ross receive a "Music Adapted by" credit onscreen. "That credit was something that John insisted on from our first meeting," says Ross. "The reality, however, is that CHAMBER OF SECRETS is a John Williams score beginning to end."

Although I do like the longer films of today because it gives you more time to get more deeply involved in the film, and therefore possibly get more out of it, I do miss the fluff 83-90 min. films of the 80's!

One more post away!!! :wave:

Yeah but unlike the Harry Potter films the LOTR movies are actually great films.

If Williams wasn't scoring these film I would have no interest at all.

I think the lOTR"s have much more weight than the HP's but hopefully that will change while they are under new direction.

Yeah, all die hard Tolkein fans I know personally hate the 2nd and 3rd films.

And I think only the 3rd films is great. The first two IMO are almost good and good.

Die hard Tolkien fans prefer a movie just like the book as opposed to a good movie. I find all the changes in LOTR to be improvments save a few. And Chris Lee thinks that too and he is a die hard Tolkien fan.

Justin -Who loves all 3 films. Best films I've ever seen in theaters. :thumbup:

I think the books are slightly pretentious and more than a little overrated. So I didn't mind the changes from the book, I only minded what felt fake to me. Like the Shire and the hobbits.

I also feel the books are overrated, but I gotta admit Jackson certainly managed to select all of the right material to use to create a generally enjoyable series of films.

The guy clearly managed to rummage through the LOTR books (which are MUNDO long winded) to create storylines that moves along at a much more brisk pacing.

No it's not. The movie can't even be considered cliff notes to the book. If you want to experience Harry Potter READ THE BOOKS!

You know I would think that too but I bet you can read all 5 of them before June. Seriously I find I have to force myself to eat...sleep...breath when I'm reading them. Most books it's like "Oh I'll read my book...." with Potter it's like "Oh....right 3 A.M. time to get some sleep."

Justin -Who thinks Rogue will seriously miss out if he doesn't even try and read them. :nono:

So true.

I read the books because:
1-John Williams read them and scored the movies
2-Everyone here has read them
3-I was banned for a week

I must admit- the books are gripping. Not in a dramatic way, but they just keep you coming back. Although they weren't as gripping as Conversations with Wilder by Cameron Crowe, Hitchcock by Truffaut, or the Mafia Encyclopedia by Carl Sifakis :mrgreen:

Shush, Rogue. Please just read them. Don't be taken aback by the hyping and the crappy merchandising frenzy. Three words: Read. The. Books. There is so much more to the books than just the superficial "story about a wizard boy". There's all kinds of things that make these books great. You really should read them, and then give a new opinion. If you don't like them after you've read them, fair enough, but I really think you should give them a try. Forget the casettes. Read them. There so good, you'll have finished them in no time.
