Happy Maurice Jarre's birthday! Let's celebrate with one of the great match cuts in cinema history paired with one of the great themes in film score history. A score written in just six weeks by Jarre (1924-2009) who was David Leans's THIRD composer choice! Goosebumps, every time. #filmsky #moviesky

Why Newfoundland mattered on 9/11: "When the U.S. shut down its airspace that morning, there were about 500 planes in the air over the western North Atlantic, with an estimated 85,000 people on board ... A plane was entering Canadian airspace every 90 seconds" www.theglobeandmail.com/canada/artic...

With hundreds of planes in the air on 9/11, Canada had minutes to respond

Officials had to tell about 270 planes to turn around and go back across the Atlantic to Europe.
The remaining planes had to land somewhere fast

For FANTASTIC VOYAGE, Rosenman deliberately wrote NO music for the first half of the movie. The musical silence ends dramatically as the Proteus is injected into the patient. The unsettling, eerie, atonal score perfectly complements the otherworldly environment of the human body. #filmsky #moviesky

FANTASTIC VOYAGE (1966) Entering the Bloodstream (Music: Leonard Rosenman)

In this scene the miniaturized Proteus and her crew are injected into the bloodstream of the critically wounded patient. Music by Leonard Rosenman

A man from Amish country bet on the U.S. Open, then sent the USTA a bomb threat. Things will only get worse.

He wanted to keep his money, and the only way to do it, he thought, was to disrupt the tennis match. From his Lancaster County home, he had thumb-typed and sent the threat to the USTA.
