JUST HOW GULLIBLE ARE YOU? DO YOU LIKE IT THAT WAY?
by Terry infool me once; shame on you.... fool me twice; shame on me.. we've all heard that one before.
it implies that being fooled is everybody's susceptibility until more facts are presented which enable more critical thinking.. critical thinking is something you aren't born with.

MOVIE MUSIC (deconstructions)
by Terry inin the filmmusic business very often a director uses what is known as a temp track.. this is music that is simply taken from any existing source and cut and pasted on top of the film he is making so it won't be so.
"dry" and unexciting when he shows it to the studio in the various previews that take place.. for example, george lucas liked the classical piece mars from gustav holst's the planets and erich korngold's king's row.. when john williams was hired he was instructed to "make it sound kinda like that" and the result was star wars.. i've provided two examples here of music i have.....deconstructed...and made "original".. can anybody name the actual original scores i deconstructed and rewrote?.
the hint is in the titles.. here are the links:.

we are told man was given a paradise and that his disobedience introduced to the world sin and death.
man ruined the wonderful, gentle and peaceful plan of god.. that is the story we are told.

BOND, JAMES BOND...and J.B.....John Barry vis a vis O.H.M.S.S.
by Terry infor old geezers such as myself, the james bond film was an annual event appearing around christmas time.
sean connery was the embodiment of the character onscreen with just enough seriousness to deflect the outrageousness of the plot.
but, what really sold the series to me personally was the music.
