The Joke

Rorschach: I heard a joke once: Man goes to doctor. Says he's depressed. Says life is harsh and cruel. Says he feels all alone in a threatening world.

Doctor says, "Treatment is simple. The great clown Pagliacci is in town tonight. Go see him. That should pick you up."

Man bursts into tears. Says, "But doctor... I am Pagliacci."

Good joke. Everybody laugh. Roll on snare drum. Curtains.

Edward Blake: Once you realize what a joke everything is, being the Comedian is the only thing that makes sense.

I started a Joke - The Bee Gees

I started a joke

Which started the whole world crying
But I didn't see
That the joke was on me, oh no

I started to cry
Which started the whole world laughing
Oh, if I'd only seen
That the joke was on me

I looked at the skies
Running my hands over my eyes
And I fell out of bed
Hurting my head from things that I said

'Till I finally died
Which started the whole world living
Oh, if I'd only seen that the joke was on me

I looked at the skies
Running my hands
Over my eyes
And I fell out of bed
Hurting my head from things that I said

'Till I finally died
Which started the whole world living
Oh if I'd only seen that the joke was on me
Oh no! that the joke was on me
Oh...

Angels & Demons and its music

Remember the fascinating score "Chevaliers De Sangreal" which comes at the final part of the movie Da Vinci Code? It starts from the scene where he sees the blood line all the way till the discovery of tomb of Mary Magdalene. To me that was probably the most powerful part of the entire film. After several internal mind conflicts I came to a conclusion that its that background score which made the ending so much more powerful compared to the book. The score builds slowly and continues to build into a full blown beautiful mixture of orchestration and digital synthesization. When I first listened to that track it sent chills down my spine, it did the same thing to me in the film. Only Hans Zimmer can bring out such an "Epic" feel to a score. If this score aint enough for you to believe, check out Gladiator and Thin Red Line soundtracks. Absolutely mindblowing stuff !!

And now for the new movie Angels & Demons, Hans Zimmer continues with the same score which gives me more than one reason to watch the movie this weekend. The other main reason being the brilliant book itself. I heard the movie has been made much better than Da Vinci Code, which itself I thought was real good. Check out the extended trailer which features the background score I'm talking about..
