Bulk   (Member) It was a fun screening. I'd never seen I Wanna Hold Your Hand and it was hysterical. 1941 I've seen many times, but this was the second time in a theater and there was a lot of laughter from the crowd. It's much funnier than it's reputation would have you think. And yes, the Williams score is wonderful. Neil    Posted:   Oct 27, 2008 - 12:20 PM     By:   johnjohnson   (Member) I remeber going to a screening of 1941 at the Scala Cinema in London many years ago. It was a double bill with Dr.Strangelove.    Posted:   Oct 27, 2008 - 5:11 PM     By:   fommes   (Member) How was the print? The film's a strangely mixed bag. I see why it is as bad as how it is, but at the same time you have to recognize the strong points of it. I don't think it's really very funny at all, but from another perspective it's hilarious - especially as seen in the context of the history of comedy & slapstick. And the direction is still classic Spielberg. Incidentally, they aired the film here this weekend (once every fifteen years or so). It was anamorphic but 16:9 unfortunately - I had hoped for the correct format since there's no R2 DVD at all. (And the R1 is really crappy, apparently.) Are there any plans to release this decently?    Posted:   Oct 27, 2008 - 5:18 PM     By:   henry   (Member) I've always enjoyed this movie, and score.I would love to see it on the big screen, I was only two when it came out.    Posted:   Oct 27, 2008 - 5:54 PM     By:   cushinglee   (Member) Everything with Slim Pickens, Toshiro Mifune, and Christopher Lee is gold. I wish the movie had centered on the tension between them.    Posted:   Oct 27, 2008 - 6:02 PM     By:   Neil S. Bulk   (Member) How was the print? Both prints were perfect. 1941 has an HD transfer, but as you said, it's 16x9 (and the shorter theatrical version). I hope a nice HD transfer of the long version becomes available at some point. Neil    Posted:   Oct 27, 2008 - 6:10 PM     By:   spielboy   (Member) with 16x9 you mean 1.85:1 cutting the sides of the long 2.40 scope?    Posted:   Oct 28, 2008 - 12:42 AM     By:   Neil S. Bulk   (Member) with 16x9 you mean 1.85:1 cutting the sides of the long 2.40 scope? Yep. Neil    Posted:   Oct 28, 2008 - 5:36 AM     By:   fommes   (Member) Thanks for the info, Neil. I must admit I didn't even know there was a longer version. What's the story behind it?    Posted:   Oct 28, 2008 - 2:10 PM     By:   Neil S. Bulk   (Member) The details of the long cut are here: http://tinyurl.com/5tdkqx Neil    Posted:   Oct 28, 2008 - 10:31 PM     By:   jfallon   (Member) Can you believe this Williams score has yet to get a proper release? After finally getting Doom this might be the biggest gap in Williams soundtrack canon... John F    Posted:   Oct 28, 2008 - 10:45 PM     By:   SchiffyM   (Member) Can you believe this Williams score has yet to get a proper release? What is improper about the existing release? You mean it's not long enough? II have to say, it's an extremely satisfying listen. I don't yearn for more.    Posted:   Oct 29, 2008 - 11:07 AM     By:   Neil S. Bulk   (Member) The laser disc and DVD both have an isolated score track, too. Neil    Posted:   Oct 29, 2008 - 11:09 AM     By:   TJ   (Member) I think the 1941 album is great. And thankfully, unlike most of his 80's albums, still in print, on Varese.    Posted:   Oct 29, 2008 - 2:52 PM     By:   Thor   (Member) What is improper about the existing release? You mean it's not long enough? II have to say, it's an extremely satisfying listen. I don't yearn for more. Me neither. In fact, some of the music on this album is so bombastic and busy that 30-40 minutes is more than enough.    Posted:   Oct 29, 2008 - 2:52 PM     By:   TJ   (Member) I <3 the bombast!    Posted:   Oct 29, 2008 - 2:54 PM     By:   Morricone   (Member) I like bombast.    Posted:   Oct 29, 2008 - 4:17 PM     By:   spielboy   (Member) Can you believe this Williams score has yet to get a proper release? After finally getting Doom this might be the biggest gap in Williams soundtrack canon... John F no, that might be BLACK SUNDAY (since we got a good sounding b**t for FAMILY PLOT)    Posted:   Oct 29, 2008 - 4:22 PM     By:   Thor   (Member) I like bombast. I've gone the other way in my older years (), i.e. a preference for calmer material.     General Discussion: 1941 screening tonight    < 1 2  > >>  Go to page:  1 2   First Post    General Discussion • Trading Post • Non-Film Score Discussion  Profile • Preferences • Community Rules • Help/Contact • Search Board You must log in or register to post.   Go to page:  1 2
