MarieMaru (visit her site- it is outstanding) is a genius which I can brag that I have actually met in real life. I got this idea from her site and since I am a lover of music, especially film music, I thought I’d follow suit.

My life as a movie? Probably a comedy.
You just made my day.
wow. A lot of classical music up there… I think I posted this quiz a while ago myself, but it was with more popular ballads/lyrical songs then it was with classical music. I guess the poet in me loves songs that tell stories with their lyrics more than classical songs (although the Imperial Death March and Duel of the Fates made it onto my list).
I’ll state this, though. Without any music in the background, movies are so much weaker. The more music, especially classical, the better the movie and the more dynamic the scene. Music, not acting, can make the difference in the atmosphere of a scene.
Oh, by the way, the documentary on the Star Wars trilogy, Empire of Dreams is sensational. Very well done… When you get your copy of Star Wars on DVD, watch that before anything else. It gives you a feel of how lucky we fans truly were. Have a great week!
Man you stole my opening credits!!!!! That is my favorite soundtrack in the whole wide world! Danny Elfman rocks my face off!
you freakin rule… as usual.
Not GK any more because I didn’t want this year to fall apart for the Knights. My schedule is stressful enough and so I dont want to be passing off authority and responsibility. Any more questions… feel free to email me.

You have made me realize that I really don’t know music half as well as I thought I did. You definitely have some songs on there I have never heard of. I need to listen to some Classical!

I was confused as you left the message on my site. And there are many an adult that could do with a good lecture. They won’t listen but you can lecture! Have a great weekend!
Life’s okay: “Building a Family” from Life as a House by Mark Isham-that one is my favorite and very fitting! I love that movie and the soundtrack is amazing!
Have a good one.
