Dear Santa,

First of all please note that I’m not one of those Grinchy, Scroogey, Bah
HumBugey people who don’t believe in you. “I do believe, I do, I do, I do,”
and I’m due. We film score nuts tend to be an odd group of people who may request
a few unique and unusual things we’d like you to leave us Christmas night. I’m
having problems finding several pieces of music, but if you’d work your magic,
I’m sure you can fill my wish list. I’ll line my hearth with about 40 stockings.
I’m leaving a rather esoteric list, typical of soundtrack nuts.
If I promise not to be “naughty,” will you please leave the following items?
1. A brand new original, super sounding CD of Barry’s Robin and Marian. (I always
sob to the theme when she poisons him because he’ll never know, “such a day as this
again.”
2. A CD with the last five minutes of the lovely melody heard in the movie Stella.
(John Morris) Always makes me cry.
3. A new CD of Steiner’s music from the cheesy movie Rome Adventure.
(Has anyone ever mentioned this movie’s music on the Board?) Yep, I do have a
box of Kleenex nearby when I hear the themes.
4. A new CD of Waxman’s Mister Roberts. I become a puddle when I hear its
glorious music and think about Fonda proudly pining on his palm tree medal.
(Leave extra Kleenex.)
5. A full orchestral rendition of the little known Chuck Cirino score to Big Bad
Momma II. I only cry if I have to watch such a piece of trash just to hear the
music.
(I realize these are strange requests, but we all harbor some weird desires when
it comes to film and TV music)
6. Please make John Morgan Chief Elf of the North Pole. That way you won’t get
so many letters from the Board; we’ll mail them directly to him. Swash can access
all new Steiners, Howard can find The African Queen, and Caine Mutiny lovers will
finally be satiated. Maybe he can even help the “Marks-Marcs” on this Board who
would kill for Mystery, Alaska. I’ll take one too. Make sure you place ALL orders
through PeterK!! That’s a must!

7. Please leave in the stocking of EVERY Movie Music. com Board member
the new 2001 Chippendale Calendar. Our very own Shaun R. is its new centerfold.
(Please to NOT leave a copy in my daughters’ stockings. Encountering his magnificent
visage and torso would ruin them for future men. )

8. Please arrange for Jerry Goldsmith to have a HUGE concert right in the center of
the United States so we can all travel an equal distance to hear him. (So what is
the center? A wheat field?) Leave some extra bucks in the stockings of
Marian, Nicolai, Thor, Timmer, PeterD, Andre and our other International buddies
so they can join us.

9. Please help my brother Patrick from this Board win the Lottery so he can afford
the plastic surgery he has so desperately needed since birth. Also, leave him every
piece of music written by Morricone. Start with Seven McGregors.

10. Leave an extra 50 music CD’s to those who named me as having similar
musical preferences in the Quick Survey thread. They OBVIOUSLY have good
taste and “mucho” class.

11. Please have Jerry Goldsmith and Elmer Bernstein write another score for
any upcoming westerns.

Should you be thinking about giving me all of the above, I PROMISE to do the
following to earn these rewards.

I’ll quit posting the following message on my husband’s mirrors, car, golf clubs,
and remote control. “Honey, it’s not the thought the counts; it’s the bloody price
tag!” When he kindly asks me on weekends, “Joan, what’s for lunch?” I promise
not to hand him a map directing him from the TV to the kitchen. I’ll give up
M&M’s for 10 hours. (Sleeping time counts, right?) I’ll tear up my autographed
pictures of Hillary Clinton in a bikini that I was going to send to all my favorite
Conservatives on the Board as their Christmas present. (Chris, yours was in color
and poster size. )

Now Santa, I hope others will write you a wish list on this Board. If it “ain’t” too kinky,
and is somewhat musically oriented, please do honor their wishes. They are rarely
naughty and usually super nice.

Respectfully Yours and Big Hugs,

Joan Hue: AKA Mommie Joan

NP Santa Claus is Coming To Town

Merry Christmas, Joan!

Jeron

Oh yeah, Santa, I'm not done yet. Also want Cross of Iron. Getting tired of hearing it's coming. I want it here.

...You have my unconditionable love anyways

yours

Wish some of you would post your Christmas music list. Surely you don't believe those jerks who told you that Santa doesn't exist?
I'm sure he can access Internet.

(I can sell it on eBay!)

Thanks for naming my ONLY wish for Santa. Although I know I'll be disappointed when I look under the tree.

No offense, but have Santa skip giving me the calendar.

Now the new Sports Illustrated calendar.....

Yep...feelin' just a TAD ornery...

Kinda' like that brat little brother who wants to GET EVEN.

Awhile back, Big Sis mailed me not one, but TWO photographs that I'm going to share with all of you. Oh...I know she'll be really hot under the collar at me. She doesn't want anybody to see these gems!
If you don't hear anything more from me after this...YOU'LL KNOW WHO'S RESPONSIBLE!

I've already sent word to my attorney.

So... without further ado, here are
TWO PICTURES OF JOAN!

Amazing, isn't it?
Why, you'd never know that they were the same woman!

Well...it looks like a bucket of coal for ME!

NP: The Outer Limits Frontiere (thanks Senator Hatfield!)

Thank goodness you didn’t scan in Jane Darwell. Cheez! The only things I have
in common with Joan Crawford are that I’m still alive, I have brown hair and eyes,
my first name, and I enjoy beating “certain people” with hangers!!

Okay, if you’re DYING to have a poster size picture of your favorite Hillary in
a bathing suit, I’ll send you one. No fair selling it on E bay. This is bloody
blackmail. Santa will know you’ve been naughty and leave you coal and sticks
on Christmas Eve.

Actually, I'm far too OLD to be her son!

NP: Taras Bulba Thanks, Mark!

This one's for you, Sis:

I never hit Patrick with a wire hanger. However, as I once revealed
before, after he knocked out my front tooth with a BeeBee gun (sp?),
I knocked his front tooth with a large wrench. I do have my limits,
you know. Oh, the dental bills!! No, Newman’s picture doesn’t look
like Patrick as Pat has a big, wide open space in his smile. ( He was
asked to audition for the movie Deliverance, you know. )

Still hoping to see some Dear Santa letters on this post. Maybe Intrada
or other producers will see your wishes and grant them.

Dear Santa,

I'd love to see a picture of my mom Joan. Children who can't see their mothers are in danger of getting all sorts of psychic traumas in later life.

Dear Santa,

Please replicate Swashbuckler’s 2000 CD’s and leave them
in the giant empty box in front of my fireplace.

.....SO!....CHRIS and JOHN are MY ADOPTED UNCLE'S?!

Enlighten me?!

Please for the love of God and Rudolf all i want is a release of the James Bond Theme composed for the Goldeneye trailer by Jeff Fair and Starr Parodi. Thats all i ask, its not much.

You got 'Chance' and 'No Chance' Rich, unfortunately 'Chance' left town!

As per our usual arrangement, I will provide the fully-researched and annotated Wish List after my computer and printer get things worked out between them. However, I direct your attention to the following Supplemental Wishes:

1.) A longer attention span for my lovely friend Joan, so that she might spend less time with score compilations like HOLLYWOOD GOES TO THE BATHROOM! GREAT WATER CLOSET SCORES OF THE THIRTIES; and more time "discovering" guys like John Williams.

2.) Well-mastered and comprehensive score releases for MYSTERY, ALASKA; LOOKER; SILENT RUNNING; TITAN A.E.; SHAFT; and a full-score release of THE KEEP that doesn't finance a World Tour for Tangerine Dream every time someone buys a copy.

3.) PLEASE help Shaun. You know what I mean.

4.) I want very much to be a polyglot, so that I might call Marian and Mark from time to time and actually make sense to them.

5.) Make LITTLE NICKY such a financial catastrophe that Adam Sandler changes his name and moves to Hawaii to live with The Artist Formerly Known As Cat Stevens, never to be heard from again.

6.) The gift of real talent for Brad's roommate - or a major blowout of the dude's vocal cords (same result).

7.) Kate Winslett in a series of NC-17 films, with Special Edition releases of same on DVD.

8.) Break Patrick's pager.

9.) A unilateral end to undereducated athletes referring to themselves in the third person. Start with the NBA.

10.) MILK CHOCOLATE. Lots.

Thank You for your time and attention to this matter. Also please note that I have found a new cookie recipe, and paid the deductible incurred on your last visit.

Dear Santa,

A stocking stuffed full of MovieMusic.com orders? Starting a company when people want to shoot you down before you've even taken off is no fun! Can you and your reindeer take a dump on RMM and make life there a little more unpleasant?

Thank you. Cookies await. And yes, got milk.

I want, nay deserve, the following:

1. a job-- for the LOVE OF GOD, a job!
2. a job
3. a job
4. a job
5. a job
6. a job
7. a job
8. a job
9. a job
10. a Playstation 2, whilst I "look" for a job
11. I want to win 1 million dollars in Vegas next month. a groovy cocktail waitress might be nice, too.

yours truly,

JJ Hinrichs

Are you talking about "JOB", the book in the Old Testament, or...job, an occupation?

If you are simply unemployed for the moment, please know that those circumstances are subject to change very soon.

However, if you are living under a supernatural CURSE as Job did...then we need to get you some otherworldly assistance!

Either way, I can help.
