One of my favorite books by Crichton. I like the movie, too, even though critics have not been kind to it.

It's not even remotely as bad as its reputation suggests. It's also strangely accurate in places.

Here's part of Goldsmith's score.

I think he did a good job.

And you can compare it to Hans Zimmer's work in King Arthur:

Now, which one said "Hello", best?

Heck I dunno, I'd say they all do it in pretty different ways.

I think movie scores are the classical music of today. Goldsmith and Williams are pretty good.

Who knows? In 200 years, maybe the symphony opens with Bach and then twinkles into the music from the first Potter movie...

I'd agree. And yes, those two are extremely talented.

I just hope music survives the current dry spell.

Alan Menken and the Sherman Brothers did some nice work for Disney.

Yes, I know it's not for everyone.

But you could probably sing along with a lot of it.

So what does all this have to do with saying hello, howdy, ahoy or what’s happening?

[Jolly]

We morphed.

From individual greetings to signature theatrical greetings.

Got to meet Mr Menken. My favorite of his was Galavant…
