Or, there is this really good theme I like called Freedom Fighters by this hollywood music outfit. It was used in one of the trailers to the most recent Star Trek film, it has some really nice crescendos.

*Favorite movie?*
So many to choose from. How about this, my favorite movie from the last 2 years was the new Star Trek. When we saw it my wife was 9 months pregnant with our first so the opening scene was especially poignant for me.
We saw 4 movies that month (trying to get the one last hurrah of going out before kids came) and my wife, who is not a nerd, also thought it was the best of the 4. It was well done.
*Last movie you watched?
No Strings Attached
*How are you going to pick just one favourite painting?*
I won't.
*Favorite painting?*
I don't have one. I have a favorite sculpture though. The Rape of Polyxena. I saw it when I was in Florence and thought it was amazing. The detail and everything yes, but mostly the motion aspect of it. It was not a pose, it was a scene of movement.
