Did he apologise for causing Donner to be fired and thereby denying the world a proper S2?

Yeah I liked that too. It's funny to think that Mank is gone but star spangled Spengler is still around. We've never really heard much from him but one guy I'd really like to see interviewed more about STM is Robert Benton. He had great sucess in his own right outside of Superman but you never really hear much from him on Superman. I guess since there isn't much of a public clamor for their thoughts they don't really get asked. That's even true to a lesser extent for Ilya Salkind. Donner and Mankiewicz were usually the ones I saw being interviewed the most.

The community feeling of celebration. Pity. the forum used to have that type of feeling too. About interviews: I wish we got the full unedited interview with John Williams on Superman- but I'm glad that he considers it one of his high points in his career, filled with a ton of great films.

Donner and Mankiewicz were usually the ones I saw being interviewed the most. I really like the commentary that Spengler and Salkind provided for the commentaries of the 2006 theatrical cut DVDs. They are far more candid and honest than those provided by Donner and Mank(especially the 2006 RDC commentary which is criminally shallow and a mere rehash of the one provided on the 2001 DVD). I am hoping that the 2018 40th STM anniversary can finally bring all these parties round one table(no matter how old they are!). Imagine having Lester,Donner,Salkind,Spengler,Hackman,Stamp all at one conference table.......I can dream.

I was an observer of this forum from 2001 onwards(only joined last year though!) so saw how bad it got. Agree with Williams work.....the late 70's /early 80s were his high point. The films he scored in that period(Star Wars,Close Encounters,Jaws,Superman,Raiders,ET) inspired him to produce inspirational music.

I originally thought that the Academy had only nominated WIlliams for Close Encounters and Star Wars for the same year.... he had, and was odd how he was competing with himself, but he had one other competitor at the time. And it's a crime that "Fame" won for best music over Superman that year. 'p
