Can't we all just get along? I like and respect Basil, Senn555 (the other Basil), Kim Tong, and LeHah...but sheesh mix 'em in a pot and it's like baking soda and vinegar at best. (Except it doesn't turn out to clean the board...just make it dirtier...so I guess my analogy falls apart.)
I used to have big arguments when I was a young teenager on the Filmtracks board, but they weren't about film music at all -- just politics or Star Wars prequels  Eventually I grew out of that combative phase and I now get along with the people I used to fight with. Can't we just focus on our shared love of film music and not get in these unseemly tussles?

Double post
You're one hundred percent wrong, actually.
The themes are correct (with the exception of a natural before the g after g# in the first line, which isn't the end of the world). Key signatures are often not used in film music as it is too confusing to sight-read. Rather, incidentals are marked beside the notes, just as done here.
No offense intended, but if you're going to rip the composer a new one, you really ought to have your facts straight.
And asking a film composer to write one of their themes from nearly 8 years ago is akin to asking an author to write down--without looking--their favorite line from a book they wrote a decade ago.#
well, what I said, wrong note, G-natural instead of G-sharp, incidentals are not placed where the note is placed they belong to, and there are no clefs.
You are right, times are different today, you don't need to know this or do it to generate music.
That's what I meant.

When you are (generously) decorating an autograph on the back of a little booklet, you don't have to display all your musical literacy. In fact, writing it out super-correct in this context (a fan-friendly doodle) would be a little strange. And Ottman is cool.

What are people thinking about POLICE ACADEMY?
Thinking about not buying it!
(RIMSHOT)
No, no, no -- I kid. It's selling very well. About half the run is gone.
MV
What about the other titles, MV?
Karol
Great. LW is close to being out of stock until 2014. Gunfight is out of stock but more will be in Friday or Monday (the last batch of it)
Superman is flying the highest, though with nearly 2000 units out the door.
Is it possible to order the Lethal Weapon after Christmas? Are there still many units? With so many releases ...

Yes, ALL titles will be around after X-mas, but I don't know for how long.

I noticed the album edit of the title march isn't on the new set. I don't really miss it; unless I'm mistaken, it's just the opening and closing of the main title (or possibly the “fly-off”) with the end title march sandwiched in.

Got back from England today to find my LLL order at the post office (€43 duty - yikes!). Very much looking forward to hearing it all but Police Academy is first up.
Do they put such a severe tax on it to discourage purchases from outside the European Union? I wonder if the U.S. has a corresponding tax on European goods. I'm not aware of any.
