I love Jurasic park but I can only watch it once every five years. The music ruminates for me too, not unlike the main title from "Oklahoma" or The Christmas Song" which starts automatically in my head November 10th. I think this is a testament to our love of music.

So yep, the space opera and dinosaurs win. :) Much as I love John Williams, I always thought he stole the Jaws theme from the (much more impressive) last movement of Dvorak’s New World Symphony.

I have never appreciated his music nor most of the films he has scored; i am simply not a fan of the hyped-action-disaster-uber epic genre. And really, no one suggesting the opening chord rhythm from Jaws???? I suppose genetically-engineered dinosaurs and space operas are more common now than monstrous sharks/?? mmmm… personal commentary statement only…

I did not even realize I was making a joke…. it was simply a spelling mistake made in haste. My inner geek is evidently in control of my subconscious.

Yes, I was angling to sneak several poor geometry puns into the above. Oh my….. I did not even realize I was making a joke…. it was simply a spelling mistake made in haste.

It was on tv a few nights ago and I got sucked into watching it and then had the theme stuck in my head for a few days…. This has driven it out… The antidote to it all will be to go watch Superman, or Raiders of the Lost Arc…. sigh… -cvj Me too!
