I hardly update my facebook profile, but I tend to constantly check-up on everyone around me. Seeing what they are doing, how they are doing, and who they are hanging out with. I guess the main reason I never change my status is that have nothing to update. Living with my parents again after 5 years away, as well as being away from all the people I use to run around with, has really put me in a kind of continuing depression. I am, that is, not really depressed, but the isolation and the lack of communication has really sucked. I don't go out ever, except for the times I go out by myself, and I really haven't communicated with anyone in I'd say 5 to 6 months. You (if anyone is reading this) may say, "why don't you just go out and make new friends?" I don't know. I know for sure it isn't going to be with anyone I work with. I don't think I have anything in common with anyone of the people I work with, let alone have any desire to hang out with them after work.
I don't know, it seems that at this point in my life the one thing that is for certain is that I'm going to be alone for awhile. I just hope that good things can distract me from this fact.

It's a sad, sad world
The older generations can't understand the plight of younger generations. where we see lack of opportunity, they see laziness. they don't realize how much things have changed. in 1950, the US population was 150 million (and only 75 million of those worked cause most women didn't). today, nearly 400 million pop count. That's a huge change in competition and job availability. Not to mention many jobs that used to be done by people are now done by machines. And many jobs shipped over seas.
College degree's used to be far cheaper, and not as necessary to gain decent employment. Today you can't even get into entry level positions, they always want some years of experience. when you see those types of jobs, more often than not, it's a rouse by the company to bring in visa workers at less pay. they put 5 years experience needed on a job a person with no experience could do then say to uncle sam 'hey we have no americans qualified for this job, we need to look overseas'.
This generation is going to be one of the few generations in the last 100 years with the right to say 'we had it hard'. The elderly aren't only sucking this country dry like a dieing man in a desert taking a childs cantene to prolong his life just a little more. They're also still stealing jobs from the young. They have to retire before those numerous jobs become available. when someone see's 20 years experience vs 3 years on a resume, who do you think they will choose? plus the elderly are more inclined to take low pay in order to keep their jobs from falling in the hands of the younger generations.
so on one side, we have legal and illegal immigrants taking american jobs, we have foreigners taking american jobs over seas. we have the elderly filling up positions. we have machines doing work people used to do. looking at all of this, it's no wonder there is no room for the younger generations to get a start in the real world, because the real world has butted them out. And this only scratches the surface.
the american dream is dead. The older generations and foreigners are screaming 'me first, damn the rest of you', while the younger american generations are screaming 'we never had a chance'.

September Film Score Countdown
Yes, it has been awhile. It could be that I just couldn't think of anything to write, or I'm just lazy. However, now I put it upon myself to do something special this month. I decided to do a 5 part series on my favorite film scores.
Film scores can help or harm a movie. It's there to heighten suspense, to ensue emotion, or help create the grandiose of a setting. Now this list, isn't the ultimate best list out there, I assure you. All these movies are ones I've seen, and I'm confident that there are plenty of fantastic scores that aren't on this list.
Two things before I begin. First, this list isn't in any order except for the last 10. Those are my all time favorites. Second, this is a list of scores, not soundtracks. Soundtracks are typically including music that was initially created before the film was made. Ok here we go!
Part 1:
The Assassination of Jesse James by the Coward Robert Ford (Nick Cave & Warren Ellis)
This score I had only recently listened to again, and it has become one of my favorite Western style scores. The movie is an art film, and the music matches it on every levels. The violin playing by Warren Ellis gives the feeling of regret from the lead Jesse James, as though his heart is cry out. By my all time favorite track would have to be the final piece "Song for Bob". Please check out the movie and please check out this score. It is truly something to experience.
Back to the Future (Alan Silvestri)
Braveheart (James Horner)
Scots, brothers, freedom. All can be heard in the 1995 score of Braveheart. This film score helps the viewer to travel back to the early centuries of Europe, and experience the struggles of the Scotish. The music matches the epic battles, and enormous landscapes.
Coraline (Bruno Coulais)
Going into seeing Coraline I did not expect the music that I heard, and because of this it completely altered my perception of the film for the rest of the film. It is dark, and wonderous at the sametime. I think it should be a contentor at next years Oscars.
Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon (Tan Dun)
With the help of Yo Yo Ma on the cello, we were brought back to ancient China, and sent on an adventure. After this movie came out, many copycats of the music were made, but in the end, CT, HD really stands out as the greatest modern Kung fu film.
Day the Earth Stood Still (Bernard Herrmann)
Theremins, before Day came out the musical instrument Theremin was never heard of. But when Bernard Herrmann took on the score for the science fiction classic, he defined what a real science fiction score should sound like.
Edward Scissorhands (Danny Elfman)
Quiet and beautiful, Edward Scissorhands is a fairy tale with Avon. Danny Elfman who is a long time collaborator with Tim Burton helped create a very peaceful world.
Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind (Jon Brion)
Not only one of my favorite scores, but films as well from the last 10 years. Jon Brion doesn't play by the rules of classic composing. Instead chooses to write pieces for out-of-tune instruments, and having random pucks on the string. This is indeed out brains represented in music.
Fahrenheit 451 (Bernard Herrmann)
Film scores can help or harm a movie. It's there to heighten suspense, to ensue emotion, or help create the grandiose of a setting. Now this list, isn't the ultimate best list out there, I assure you. All these movies are ones I've seen, and I'm confident that there are plenty of fantastic scores that aren't on this list.

By my all time favorite track would have to be the final piece "Song for Bob". Please check out the movie and please check out this score. It is truly something to experience.
Back to the Future (Alan Silvestri)
Robert Zemeckis and Bob Gale both said that as soon as the score was put into place, the movie shot up into an epic type of sound. The main theme is recognizable still today by most movie goers.
Batman (Danny Elfman)
When Danny Elfman created the theme to Batman, he defined who Batman was. Dark, powerful, and mysterious. It is the only thing in the 20 years of Batman movies that I consider to really represent this Dark Knight.
Braveheart (James Horner)
Scots, brothers, freedom. All can be heard in the 1995 score of Braveheart. This film score helps the viewer to travel back to the early centuries of Europe, and experience the struggles of the Scotish. The music matches the epic battles, and enormous landscapes.

Fahrenheit 451 (Bernard Herrmann)
The movie, IMO isn't great. I liked the book enough, but it hasn't aged well. However, what has remained as fantastic work is the music. The theme represents a longing for knowledge for more than what the world gives. It also represents hope, and that is something we all should cherish.
Expect the next part sometime in mid of next week. Please comment and share your favorite film scores.

If I Had a Million Dollars...
I've recently regained my desire to make films, but I'm not interested in making that my profession. I would rather make them for my own personal enjoyment. In order to do that though I need these things:
Of course i would use the rest of the money in better ways, but this is just a little dream I'll keep in the back of my head.
