Listen to Horner's The Four Feathers (2002) and then listen to the "CBS News Theme." Unbelievable. But I still buy all he puts out.......I'm such a fool.

I'm assuming you're going to the Hollywood Bowl concerts. If so, there's a live rehearsal on the morning of the first performance date (rarely on the second) that's free and open to the public that you should attend. That's the only way you'll get Johnny to sign anything. After the rehearsal's done, go to the rear of Stage Right -- the artist's entrance -- and wait there. Johnny's assistant, James, a short fellow in glasses, might help you if there's not too many people waiting for him with 24 things to sign. Show him what you have, tell him where you came from, and he might either go get Johnny to come out or escort you in if there's not many people waiting. Good luck and enjoy the show!

Hi, guys! I noticed a descrepancy in the poll. Titanic won the Dramatic Score Oscar in 1997, with Dudley's The Full Monty taking Comedic. The 1998 winners were (dramatic) La Vita E Bella by Nicola Piovani and (comedic) Shakespeare In Love by Stephen Warbeck. In my opinion, the best composition was The Red Violin, but my favorite, undoubtedly, is Dances With Wolves. I would've loved to have said Forrest Gump or Apollo 13, but, alas, inferior scores were awarded the Oscars. You gotta admit, though. Bacalov's theme to Il Postino is very nice. Perhaps not worthy of an Oscar, but quite an enchanting theme nevertheless. Anyway - that's what I think. I hope you all are well. Take care, and, till next time... ----Director

Hi, everyone! I hope everyone's well. Just wanted to share some info. with you. Johnny's Selections from War Of The Worlds is comprised of two pieces from the score: "Escape from the City" and "Epilogue." If any of you are going to the concerts at the Bowl, enjoy! Your long-lost absent friend, Director

Hi, Alan! Nice to see you again. And, yes, Hitch -- of course....how can I forget? Nice to "see" you all again. Hmm....wonder where Weebo ventured off to. I see UCFKevin is still alive and that's good. But it seems that Harry Potter has been trapped by his cloak. -Director, who thinks its nice that everyone still so nice.

I was just reading the first page of the Members Thread sticky and found that Conor (Romantic Strings), Jason (CruciformSword), Hector, and Alan (Hlao-Roo) aren't regulars anymore. -Director: being nostalgic and getting back to hibernation shortly.

HA! Poor Ren - she seemed nice. Harry was so young, Kevin was only in college and poor defenseless Yoda-- not big enough to climb out from underneath the rubble and debris. I forgot to mention you, King Mark: he who uses no spaces after punctuation. Director

That was an amusing read. Quite a rumor you guys picked up on there. There are traces of shadows of fact laced throughout, but, for the most part, its rumor. A really amusing one. ~Director

OH! The second halves of "Off to Gorgon" from Small Soldiers by Jerry Goldsmith and "A Map Of Jerusalem" (Love Theme from The Robe) by Alfred Newman and Ray -- Tom Newman's "Parent's Theme" is beautiful as is Ross' Tuck Everlasting...good job. Hope you're doing well, Ray. - Director

Theme from Casualities of War by Morricone Theme from A Very Long Engagement by Angelo Badalamenti Parachute Drop from Medal Of Honor: Frontline Mary's Theme (or "Mary Goes To Jesus") from The Passion Of The Christ by John Debney Love Theme from Mar Adentro (The Sea Inside) by Alejando Amenabar Love Theme (or "Execution") from Anna And The King by George Fenton and.... any lush, romantic beauty Johnny pens up for the right ocassion come to mind right now... I'll think of about 30 more in about 2 mins... Director

Hey, guys. I was a regular a while back and still check in from time to time to see what you all are talking about. Nice to know some have stayed like Joe, Neil, Ray Barnsbury and Stefancos. Where's Ren, Morn, Harry Potter, UCFKevin, and Yoda Longbottom? OK, gotta go but just wanted to say hi to everyone. Till next time, Director

My vote went to Hitch & Benny, but I must point out you left out the 2nd greatest director-composer collabo: Fellini & Rota. In both these cases, these composers defined the nature of the films and that clearly makes them the best. (Of course, just my opinion.) Director - passing through...

Hey, everyone. I hope everyone's doing well. Just passing through and thought I'd help you all clarify something. Johnny is indeed right-handed. Hope you now have a better understanding of our great hero. Take care! ~Director

Trumpeteer, you got my personal favorite!
