I just wanted to say Hi to everybody. I just joined this forum, but I've been a John Williams fan practically all my life. I love his music not just as film music, but as music. He's an amazing composer.
I'm a full time college student (unfortunately not for music :D ) so I don't have a lot of spare time. It doesn't help that I don't have internet access at home and have to use the library computers with a 1 hour time limit. I probably won't post very often, but its not for lack of interest. I usually try to keep up reading posts by other people, but I don't post very often myself. I hope that's OK.

Welcome, Connie.
Repeat the JWFan pledge after me: 'I hereby recognise John Towner Williams' place in the world as the great composer there has ever been, and I therefore renounce the works of Rozsa, Korngold, Herrmann, Horner, Kamen, Giacchino (unless the prophecy is fulfilled and he becomes the heir to JTW) and Goldsmith, especially Goldsmith. I understand that if I ever refer to Jurassic Park as anything less than "a masterpiece sixty-five million years in the making" I will be resigned to living out my days at the Zimmershrine.'

Welcome, Connie. Somewhat active female forum members include the following:
Danielle, Saxbabe, JWfangirl1992, henrythomasgirl, and MissPadmé

Danielle and Saxbabe were much more prolific a few years ago but have been relatively silent of late.

The most famous female member, of course, is Ren, who is no longer active.

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.

Yes, she was before your time. And her presence is sorely needed on this masculinist forum.

Welcome, Con. Have fun.
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!

Welcome to the JWFan site Connie. I too am a huge John Williams fan and hope you join in on some of our more intresting topics on KOTCS and Harry Potter, but with Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull coming out May 22 you will see us probably post more in the Indy form than make a Harry Potter form. Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince expected release Nov. 2008. Even though it is Hooper cant wait to hear the new soundtrack.
