Rambling

I believe tonight calls for rambling on about nothing and everything at the same time. Maybe, just maybe, it's because all I've been blogging about is this upcoming wedding. I believe that I need to take my mind off of it for just a second and think about nothing except for random things.

What randomness should I start rambling off about first? Well, I believe what I just wrote could be the first thing. One thing I was always taught in English class is that you never start a paragraph with a question. Actually if you are writing a paper of any sort, my teachers always told me that there should be no questions in it at all.

Well, I don't agree with that. I guess it's okay if you are writing an informational paper, but I love to question my audience. I like to get the wheels in their heads turning before I offer up the answer about what I am going to say. With this I believe I have started my rambling off quite well.

Next subject, music. I just read my soon-to-be sister-in-law's blog a few minutes ago. Here it is. She, Mary, is a sixteen year old that has quite a bit to say. She is an aspiring writer, who is doing a great job so far. Well, in her blog she talks about film scores. I agree with her that a film score greatly contributes to a movie. I mean, honestly, would anyone remember the songs from the Lion King if they hadn't been written by Elton John? (Look another question!) Then there is every movie that has the score composed by John Williams. I suggest just looking at his IMDB page. With movies like Jaws, the Star Wars saga, Indiana Jones, and Schindler's List how could you say his scores don't contribute to the films?




Now, of course I'm not saying it is only John Williams is the only reason the movies did well. Directors like George Lucas and Steven Spielberg tend to know what type of movie is going to sell. I believe this is the reason they choose a great composer.

John Williams isn't the only great composer out there right now. I believe Danny Elfman is also outstanding. I really can't picture listening to a score from a Tim Burton movie without Danny Elfman doing the music. Also, there's the whole thing with him doing the voice of Jack Skellington. Who would have thought a composer could also sing?




Awesome movie and yet again, Tim Burton and Danny Elfman.

I believe my rambling has come to an end. I'm going to watch that stealth cat again. My sides hurt because I was laughing so hard. It could be possible that I even pee'd myself a little. So if you didn't click on the video I suggest you do it now. Also, maybe you should wear Depends while doing so. Okay, it might not be that funny to you, but I thought it was.
