While, I am disappointed to hear that Williams will not be doing part 1, I think it just confirms what we thought would never happen--that Williams is in semi-retirement or close to full retirmenent. I just hope that some of the memeorable themes from the previous movies will be used.
I'll still hold out hope for part 2, although I know those chances are slim. But here's hoping for a 2010 miracle. :-)

I agree, last nights episode was rather predictable. I do think they are working back around to Lilly and Marshall. I do think that we will see the mother, but not realize that is who it is (i.e. she may move out from that apartment, end up leaving town for a while, etc.)
I did see Big Bang Theory last night and have to say it was funnier than HIMYM.

Okay, I will give you that Ted's quest to find the kids mother is getting dragged out way to much. But I think that show has grown well past just Ted's quest. I love the whole Barney/Robin subplot, not to mention the slapgiving episodes are hillarious. I want to see more Robin Sparkle, lol.
But I do think that both shows have one thing working for them and that is the casts of both shows seem to be play well off of each other and have good chemistry.

Seen a few eposides here and there....It's funny, but not as funny as How I Met Your Mother.
-
Here is my top three, although it was hard to rank them.
1. A.I.
2. War of the Worlds
3. H.P. POA

Of course the masterbation episode was vulgar. Vulgarity is rarely ever brainy.
Not so. It's vague in its subject matter since the word "masturbation" never even mentioned, they skirted around the subject. It's all implied, which makes it funny.
Drax, I totally agree with you. All I have to say is master of my domain!

answer this Scratch what is muligatawny?
A kind of soup, referenced in The Soup Nazi episode. I'm not much of a soup guy, so I don't know exactly what is in it. But, that too, was a reference to the show.
Elaine discovers the Soup Nazi's recipes and puts him out of business.
SOUP NAZI: You. You think you can get soup? Please. You're wastingeveryone's time.
ELAINE: I don't want soup. I can make my own soup. " 5 cups chopped Porcinemushrooms, half a cup of olive oil, 3 pounds celery."
SOUP NAZI: That is my recipe for wild mushroom.
ELAINE: Yeah, that's right. I got 'em all. Cold cucumber, corn and crab chowder, mulligatawny.
SOUP NAZI: Mulliga...tawny?
ELAINE: You're through Soup Nazi. Pack it up. No more soup for you. Next!
I love this scene! The expression on Elaine's face is priceless.

Seinfeld is one of my all time favorites. I love every season of the show. What makes it great is that it just involves every day things that come up. Plus, I think everyone knows someone who acts like one of the characters on the show.
In terms of the last show, it was good for what it was worth. There was just so much hype leading up to it, I doubt it would it would have every been as great as everyone wanted it to be.

There is some two dvd set called (I believe), Great Composers Volume 1: John Williams that you should check out. It is packed with interviews with Williams and clips from thing such as the Kennedy Center Honors. I believe it was out a few years ago. I found a copy on Ebay.

Well, there is not much that I can add to the reports above. They were very well written and give a great snap shot of the concert. As I previously mentioned, I sat in the front row. It was an amazing experience for this being the third time I have seen JW live. Once in Boston and another time in Philadelphia for a benefit concert with select members of the Philadelphia Orchestra. I have to say the highlight of the evening for me was the techniques in film scoring. I had previously done some research into the film scoring process so it was wonderful to see how it is done live and have it explained by the great John Williams
. Plus, an added bonus was being so close to my favorite section, the flutes. However, that could be because I play the flute 
Also, I did love the Olympic Spirit was played. It was the first time I have heard it performed live by a professional group. It was simply amazing and the video montage was an added bonus. I do agree that at times, one missed the string section, but the woodwinds gave it there all. You could tell that the musicians really were enjoying themselves. Overall, it was the best free concert I have ever seen.
I did wait around afterwards to see if I could get my picture of John Williams and myself signed, but I only stuck in there for 45 minutes. There was a VIP reception with Mr. Williams after the concert and I was told by the gentleman with the list that he wasn't coming out to sign autographs. However, considering that he had to come out that door to exit, I decided to wait. I'm sure that he did come out at some point, but I gave up my wait shortly after 11. Hopefully, the JW fan who drove up from North Carolina was able to get a picture with him.

The concert was indeed amazing!!!! I was very happy that I was able to score seats in the front row!!! I shall post pictures here as well soon (as soon as I get them from my friend). I saw that they were video recording the concert so hopefully, it will be available for us to purchase sometime in the future. Once, I have a chance, I will also post my thoughts about the concert.

Well, after expressing my concern in the post above, I was pleasantly surprised to receive my pair of tickets this afternoon in the mail!! So I guess they waited until all of the tickets were accounted for before distributing them, or they simply didn't have them in hand until recently. The tickets say "General Adm." followed by a number (a three-digit number in my case), so I guess it's every man, woman, and child for themselves come the night of the 20th.
Here's hoping that everyone else here who requested tickets receives them over the next few weeks...
Well, I am happy to say that my tickets arrived yesterday as well!!!!!
I can't wait!!!! I did have a three digit number on my general admission ticket as well. My suggestion to anyone going would be to get there early because the Lion King is being performed that night at the Kennedy Center as well.
-
All I have to say is that I LOVED IT!!! It is one of my favortie tracks!
-
According to the website, the tickets for the July 20th concert at the Kennedy Center are free!!!
More information about the tickets will be announced in May.

Happy Birthday JW!!!!
-JEROME, hoping you can bring home a grammy tonight
-
Congrats to JW!!!!
I think he has a shot, we will just have to wait and see how it plays out on Award night.
For now, we should be happy that he was nominated twice.
-
This is just great news!!!! I am totally shocked. Who would have thought Williams on the Tonight Show. Wow!!!!!!!
I will make sure I am up to watch that. Oh hell, I am even going to DVR it!!
I do hope that they interview him, that would be great.

There is a really good version that is done by the Philadelphia Orchestra. I do not have the cd with me at work, I will have to check when I get home and let you know the year, record company, etc.

While I think Munich is very good, my vote goes for Geisha.

On my creative labs mp3 player, car cd player, and my home cd player.

First of all, when you see a title like "What do you think should have been inclued in GOF?" That should be your clue that their are going to be spoliers. Because how could you comment on what was not in it, if you did not read the books?
As for reading the books, I suggest everyone to do it. Look at it this way. You will learn more about the series, experience some great things, and follow the characters much closer than a two to three hour movie can get you.
For me it is good to see something I read come alive on the screen. You have to take the movies for what they are and the books for what they are.

I totally forgot about Mrs. Weasley! I totally agree with Sturgis, "Parting of the Ways," should have not been left out. I don't like how the movie ended. It did not set you up for the flow of the next movie.
Siruis should have been in the movie more. I think it will be hard to convey the emotion that Harry feels when he dies, becuase they have not set up a foundation for their relationship yet. They could do it in the next movie, but I don't think it will be as effective.
I enjoyed the movie for what it is was worth. However, I do feel if you never read the books, there were moments in the movie where you would be like what is going on? And I felt the puberty issue was too over played in the movie.

This is what I usually listen to:
Home alone 1 & 2
HP 1 & 2
Trans-Siberian Orchestra
Chipmunks
Elmo & Pasty's Grandmom got run over by a reindeer
A lot of instrumental christmas pieces I have found over the years
I don't own Polar Express, ELF, Nightmare before Christmas, etc. Looks like I am slacking in that department. I will have to do something about that...of to the store I go...sooner or later.

Rickman by far, he plays Snape so well. He makes you hate him. So much so that you forget you are watching a movie and you really think you hate him in real life. He is just awsome!
Happy Birthday John Williams!!!
