I've also been wondering where he's been. We need some senior member wisdom in the board right now.

Although, he hasn't really missed much.
Do you like John Williams? His early work was a little too jazzy for my taste, but when Jaws came out in '75 I really think he came into his own, commercially and artistically. The whole album has a clear, crisp sound, and an air of consummate professionalism that really gives the pieces a big boost. He's been compared to Jerry Goldsmith but I think John has a far more leitmotif-driven style of composing. In '82 John composed this, E.T., his most accomplished album to date. I think his undisputed masterpiece is "The Magic of Halloween", a theme so catchy most people don't listen to what it means. But they should, because it's not just about the pleasures of childhood and the importance of friendship, it's also a personal statement about the man himself. Hey Paul!

Ted mysteriously vanished after the forum change. Whatever the reason, he should come back. He was a smart guy.

I think Justin said something about being in Germany for the summer with the Air Force ROTC or whichever program he's been involved in (sorry, Justin, if I got that wrong). But he had been posting sparsely for a while.

I've been wondering where Ted's been too, he was around a lot for a while there.

I was gone, but not far. I have been keeping up the message boards of late, especially regarding recent news about Indy 4. Most of my time has been spent online at a new blog/site about cinema that I started in January, which I guess coincides with my disappearance from posting here. It's nice to know I'm remembered though. I never thought I made much of an impression here. I can't believe that "What is the Last Film You Watched" thread is still alive. Part of me wants to jump back into it. Anyway, feel free to check out the site. I posted a couple entries on film scoring in June, if I recall. Thanks for the nice remarks.

Trouble was I was so behind on getting the season 3 episodes. By the time I finally got hold of them they were old news to you two! Still, I should dig that thread up again. No Dr Who season in 2009 indeed!!!

He's alive and well, just busy with school and the various activities that go along with being full of all the thrills youth has to offer (aka, marching band). I tell him he should come back now and then, so we'll see! I'm sure he'll be glad to know he was inquired about.

just thought you guys would like to know

Mark is in jail for illegally downloading music, and video material.

His addiction to Blues Clues, Clifford and Dora has finally caught up with him, and they are making an example of him.

He's being forced to dress like a smurf as punishment, he's now the bitch of some twinky winking in prison, and you know what happens when you mix purple and blue....
OH God, Joe is posting again, someone hand me my pills!

"You're not John Conner, I saw you die, said Kyle". "I was only injured, replied John". "No, your injuries were too severe, you died. Look at you, where are your injuries? You're, you're a Terminator." "Kyle, its still me, yes my body was beyond repair, but my essence is here." He points to his head. "No John". Kyle raised his pulse rifle and aimed it at John but before he could fire, John fired first. Knocked to the ground Kyle looked up at the Terminator in the form of the man he once idolized. All hope was lost. "If you kill me how will you ever be born?" "Thats a good question Kyle, all this time we've focus on Sarah, on John, when had we known the it was you we should have targeted all along." John pointed his rifle at Kyle's face. "The resistance is finished, the battle is won. We the machines are the victors, salvation is ours." Kyle never heard the second shot.
