Author	Topic: Quick! You've only seven minutes to live...

Pete M Oscar® Winner	...so what do you put in your CD player? (and no cheating choices. Seven minutes is all you've got) Myself, I think I'd go with The Enterprise from ST:TMP. np Hollow Man Since I'm not about to die. I hope.

John C Winfrey Oscar® Winner	I love film music, but in those last seven minutes I would have some private conversations with several people. Best, JW.

H Rocco Oscar® Winner	Assuming I had nothing better to do, I'd be right here, monitoring responses to my "H Rocco's Doomed" thread and coming up with properly snotty answers to such comments as "Good riddance," all the while playing the last seven minutes of Akira Ifukube's masterpiece BUDDHA, the one album on which I appear -- just one of the thousands in attendance giving it a lengthy standing ovation that they captured at the end. (I sure hope that I wasn't one of the coughers you hear at one or two of the quieter passages.)

Marian Schedenig Oscar® Winner	The Imperial March. But the score I'm playing right now is so damn good, I think I just would let it play on if my last seven minutes start right now... NP: Starship Troopers (Basil Poledouris)

John Dunham Oscar® Winner	If I only had seven minutes to live... as of right this instant, I would play the Cleopatra theme just one more time before I died. If you asked me at a different time, though, my answer would be different. NP: Serial Mom Edited, Poledouris ****

Jeron Oscar® Winner	Brian, we are talking about CDs - nothing else. Come on man, stay on topic. As for what I'd put in? I'd have to go with your idea, Pete. "The Enterprise" from ST:TMP would be the ideal choice for me. Jeron NP - Cutthroat Island by John Debney

Chris Kinsinger Oscar® Winner	ANYONE WHO, upon knowing that they have only seven minutes left to live, and who then chooses to listen to a film score during those minutes...DOES NOT HAVE A LIFE! This is a true fact.

Al Oscar® Winner	Oh c'mon, guys. Have a little fun with it. If I didn't have a life, these are the selections I'd like to hear in my last moments. The "Kick The Can" segment from the Twilight Zone Overture & the spiritual end of "Where" from Mission to Mars. NP: Morricone's "Hamlet"

Jeron Oscar® Winner	Al, my thoughts exactly. Some people read too much into things.

Lou Goldberg Oscar® Winner	Seven minutes to live huh? My first instinct would be to play something that lasts an hour...I can't die yet, it isn't over. You know it's funny, I just saw Last Night, a Canadian film that deals with just this topic. Just about everybody spent the last minutes with some companionship. Then I thought, the finale from Ben-Hur, but how could I spend the last seven jacking off with all that Christianity going on in the background? Besides, I think I'd like to go out quiet. Herrmann's 451 finale seems appropriate, the Memory Waltz from Snows of Kilimanjaro would be a similar last play. But there are so many others to consider. The "Quick!" part of the topic suggests answering with the first thing that pops into your head. Maybe that's best, because I'm likely to spend the last seven minutes deciding what I should play as the last thing and be dead before I ever touch a CD.

Timmer Oscar® Winner	I'd sit down with a cup of tea and play something in my head....7 minutes isn't enough time to hunt down a favourite track from my CD's?!

John C Winfrey Oscar® Winner	I would spend seven minutes looking for the cue. Best, John.

John Dunham Oscar® Winner	Chris, Chris, Chris... Anyone who's going to die in seven minutes doesn't have a life even if he doesn't listen to film music. Besides, what ELSE are we supposed to do with seven minutes? Got any ideas on how to build a life in seven minutes? NP: Thirteen Days, T. Jones ****

Kevin Oscar® Winner	Me? I'd be in a church. I wouldn't be wasting my time with anything else. Or, like George Carlin once said, "be in a public place, start saying out loud your thoughts, any crazy things. And just at the last second, scream out 'If This Is Not The Truth, May God Strike Me Dead!'" Kevin Oh yeah, I don't have a life. So I wouldn't know anything better to do. Some things (a lot of them, in fact) are more important that music.

Camillu Oscar® Winner	Wheh you said 7 minutes, the first thing that popped into my head was the "Freedom" track from Braveheart, coz: 1. It's about 7 minutes long 2. It's got 3 different parts, which make for variety. 3. It's kinda death related 4. It's stunningly beautiful.
