He also goes to Hong Kong to get suits made, he's there when he sees Bart doing a delivery of human eyes (from memory).

I can't say that I agree. I've been to dozens of shows on and off Broadway, and I'd be hard pressed to tell the difference between a live orchestra and a high quality recording.

I can clearly understand how they weren't designed that way, but what makes it difficult to play? Don't they play regular concerts that are that long with no breaks or one break in the middle?

The Dallas symphony did LOTR, one movie per year for 3 years. Must've been exhausting for the musicians. Surely it was the theatrical, so it wasn't 4 hours at a time.

A friend of mine in the TV & movie business points out that now the same fight is being waged over possible AI production of entire movies and TV properties with NO actors or voice-overs or live production resources.

Still looking for my new jobs

I'm kind of curious to see some epic film like gladiator prepared for orchestra accompaniment, but with no orchestra. Like, the whole film without music. You never get to see finished films like that and I'd be interested to see just exactly how much you lose (I'm guessing a lot).

Oh man that's epic. When the Rohirrim arrive at Helm's Deep, goosebumps. And then Return of the King, the ending, fuggedaboudit, there won't be a dry eye in the house.

I believe so but this was like 10 years ago so not sure.

Whoa now that's a score worth the trip out to see live. Did they do the Gregorian chant parts too?

So that's why lord of the rings is so rare. That would be a serious marathon.

I’ve seen it in the US with silent movies.

That’s probably because you knew it was live, not just because the sound was different. Music isn’t just about the sounds our ears hear, it’s also about the context and our state of mind when we hear it.

Steamboat Willie came out in 1928. Which was the first ever appearence of Mickey Mouse. Which Disney is going to hate.

I'd heard Star Spangled Banner a hundred times in my life and felt absolutely no emotion whatsoever, but the very first time I heard it played by a live symphony orchestra I was crying by the sixth note. There's a difference.

I’ve seen a number of these! The Boston Symphony Orchestra typically does a couple of these events every season.

Here in Portland they did at least one showing of some of the old Superman cartoons. The showing featured (IIRC) live music, and it also had some local personalities doing the voice work live.

Yup.

Visual artists: having a machine creating art will ruin us!

Musicians: first time?

You're seeing the wrong bands then if you think a couple dozen songs is all they are learning.

13 nights, 237 songs, no repeats.

I saw a midnight screening of Metropolis with a band.

The above link the person you responded to was talking about in their comment was a link to the New Jersey symphony….
