I don’t know who needs to hear this but the Jurassic park theme still slaps

From the French horns to the chimes Right down to that final sinister chord. John Williams best, no cap

Sorry, it just reminds me of Tonya Harding’s Olympic short program at this point.

But is it a bop?

Hmm. I prefer Robin Hood or the Clint Eastwood spaghetti westerns.

Excellent.

One of the greatest sci-fil films of all time. Simply superb movie making.

And yes, the music is a major reason why. Here's a clip that demonstrates that well. From the very start of the scene to the moment when "Isla Nublar" (really Kauai) enters the picture at around 1:20 to the ride from the helicopter into the park to the moment when they see the Brachiosaurus to the iconic "Dr. Grant, my dear Dr. Satler, welcome... to Jurassic Park" the music is the star. This is why humans exist.

All of John Williams' compositions are stellar, OP.

Why do you talk like that, OP?

Aren't you just over the moon about OP's outtasite hep slang, r8? He's the ever-lovin' end!

Is it a whole mood?

Why does the Seacow always do this? he likes some uninteresting song, and then has to post attesting to it using stupid slang.

My favorite version of the " Jurassic Park" Theme. Start at 5:20. It's really amazing.

Tonya Harding skated to the theme of Jurassic Park like a triceratops on ice.

I loved that it's the only song that DJ can play in the piano and 2 seasons later she's playing it on the church organ

OP, at what point in life did you decide to talk like a 15-year-old girl?

R16 Do you like the Jurassic park music or not

by Anonymousreply 17May 19, 2025 11:27 AM

Everyone loves John Williams, R17, but we don't speak retarded like miss OP

By the way.. Is OP SeaCow or mafukkin' Teafake? Or are they one and the same?

I hate the term "slaps".

Never heard the expression "slaps" before. Jonathan Williams' Jurrasic Park us a masterpiece. He is genius personified. He's Aaron Copeland for the new millennium. I wish he'd do a complete symphony.

Every John Williams score sounds like every other John Williams score. He did a few really great ones and since then has just coasted.

And when he tried to do more formal classical music, he's just kind of bland.

Most overrated composer in the history of overrated composers.

by Anonymousreply 23May 19, 2025 2:38 PM

The same R18.

by Anonymousreply 24May 19, 2025 2:48 PM

R23 I think Williams has written some terrific non-film score pieces, like this Concerto he specifically composed with Yoyo Ma in mind.

Would you prefer I wrote something like “mark my word, I have had sufficient of these tedious tattoos” or some of the other tired maiden aunt phraseologies you queens turn to again and again and again?

by Anonymousreply 26May 19, 2025 9:52 PM

Did you know that there are lyrics? “At Jurassic Park, there’s no place to park/Oh, Jurassic Park’s for meee!”

by Anonymousreply 27May 19, 2025 10:54 PM

His score for “Valley of the Dolls” is more interesting.

by Anonymousreply 28May 19, 2025 10:58 PM

This moment from the Kennedy Center Honors is enough to cement Williams' place as a great composer.
