Which Israeli nutcase had the brilliant idea to bomb the Iranian consulate? I remember Iraqi troops raiding (not bombing) the French embassy during the first Gulf War. When did Saddam become an example for Israel?

know no piece of music that combines conflicting emotions - victory/determination and self-doubt/despair - better than John Williams' track "Arlington" from his "JFK" soundtrack.

A bit from John Williams' soundtrack "Midway".
It's military music but Williams checks the pomp with plenty with of genuine conflicting emotions the way only he can.

Listened to John Williams’ military score “Midway”.
You probably think that “Saving Private Ryan” or “War Horse” are Williams’ military soundtracks but they’re not. “Midway” (1976) IS.
Here’s what you didn’t know: the 19-year old Williams joined the Air Force in 1951 until 1955. He was assigned to the Air Force Band, he played the piano and brass instruments… and wrote arrangements.
He revisited that period here. Wrote some marches of his own instead of arranging other composers’ music.

The trailer of Oliver Stone's documentary "Nuclear Now".
0 notes
Oliver Stone’s latest movie, “Nuclear Now”, is a documentary on nuclear power and the role it can play in the decarbonisation of our energy supply.
This being Oliver Stone, I expected a lot from the documentary… but it surpassed my high expectations.
Must-see for anyone with an interest in climate change and its many profound effects.

Why I became a philologist: O.J. did it. Donald and Stormy did it.

The Arizona Supreme Court revives an old law from 1864. The Civil War reenactments aren't enough anymore?

O.J. died this week? Nicole Brown (35) and Ron Goldman (25) died on June 12, 1994. And not from cancer at 76.

A jazzy bit from Jerry Goldsmith's soundtrack for "Capricorn One" (Peter Hyams).

Jerry Goldsmith wrote a superb soundtrack for Peter Hyams' thriller "Capricorn One" in which O.J. Simpson plays an astronaut.

John Williams' main theme for "The Towering Inferno".

Here's something you won't read elsewhere: John Williams scored a movie O.J. Simpson acted in. Suffice it to say that the music of "The Towering Inferno" is MUCH better than his acting.

Film composer Conrad Pope's main theme for the documentary "Tim's Vermeer".
(Conrad Pope assisted John Williams as orchestrator for many years.)
(Penn Jillette of Penn and Teller financed this movie with his own money.)
