I've got one...

While listening to A.I. today, the comments on the inside cover from Spielberg state that this is his 17th collaboration with Williams.

Now, we all know how much these two work together, and how there's a Burton/Elfman and a Hitchcock/Herrmann history of collaboration.

Has any other director/composer worked together as much as Spielberg/Williams? And what are the totals?

Let's see what we can come up with.

YES.It's soccer i was talking about.I forgot you guys have a different type of football-a bit violent,but definetely with action!

On a similar subject, I woke up early today at a friends house (with a slight hangover, mind you), flipped on the TV, and it was on HBO or Showtime or one of those channels. Unfortunately I couldn't figure out to use the remote and it was clearly obvious i wasn't going to get my ass to the tv to change the channel. So there I lay, watching "The Air Up There" with Kevin Bacon. I usually like David Newman, but this sports/african score sounded pretty cheap and generic. Perhaps the banging percussion in my head didn't help though...

As I'm listening to "Dances With Wolves" right now I can't help but remember... remember 8 or 9 years ago...

I played the game for hours. Perhaps the best ever created for the SNES, yes, I'm talking about Zelda: A Link to the Past. But why I bring this up is Dances With Wolves was composed in what, 90? For those of you who have played the game, do you notice any striking similarities? I remember the village theme, it was almost identicle to the John Dunbar theme... Anyway rambling must stop.

Oh yeah? Then how about that game where Australia beat Canada 17 to 0?

And why the heck is American Football called "football" by Americans and Canadians? They only seem to kick the ball once or twice in the whole game. The rest of the game is shoving, pushing, running, carrying, and so on. Shouldn't it be called breaktheguycarryingtheball-ball?

At least in world football those players kick the damn ball. Hence the explanation of the term football.

What kind of game is that? One guy holding a stick trying to hit a little ball while a bunch of bozos stay around doing absolutely nothing??

Them, ocasionally someone hits the ball and all the bozos start to run in circles!! Hahahahaha... what a joke!

I once tried to watch a baseball game on TV but fell asleep after ten minutes!

Particularly if you're one of the players. And another big advantage over soccer, football, baseball: You don't have to take a shower afterwards!

soccer sucks ass.

Football I like, too. Nothing beats the electricity of a big college game (except maybe baseball).

to stay on topic, I watched John Williams on "Evening at the Pops" tonight. Had Yo-Yo Ma and a big suite from Angela's Ashes.

Hummmm... God wasn't on the game I tried to watch. Injuried, perhaps??

Now, honestly, the only thing that's worst than baseball (the game) are those movies about baseball...

And it's such an easy game! Even little kids use to play it using socks tied togheter as a ball!!

How embarassing...

Like Andre I'm not a massive fan myself but who can fail to be entranced by the World Cup, It's just a shame that while Andre can bask in the glory of his contry's brilliance I have to make do with a sorry ass English side

And lets never forget that the elected ATHLETE OF THE (20th) CENTURY is a soccer player (and, not by accident, a brasilian): PELÉ!!

If PeterK didn't want to come off as a hypocrite, I'm sure he'd delete it. (But we all know he won't.)

BTW, isn't it a fact that most USA natives don't dig soccer because they just can't play it??

---

in fact, most Americans grow up playing the game of soccer. I played till I was about 12.

they just come to their senses and take up other sports like baseball (and golf) that challenge the mind. Mind you, I wouldn't call baseball players exceptional athletes or anything. but what a great game.

Baseball dates back to at least the pre-Civil War period, and no one really knows the true origins of it. The National League dates back to at least 1876. It's simply a part of American history.

soccer pales in comparison.

Well, just because the game is old it doesn't mean it's good. And what's smart about a guy with a cap trying to hit a little ball while all the other players do nothing at all?

As for being part of the american history, well I, as an american, must correct you: it may be part of the USA history.

And lets not forget that baseball is popular only among USA and Japan natives, while soccer... well, you know... just try to remember who's the Athlete of the Century...
