Blood

 * Depending on how religious you are...God. Which does rather pose the question to me...Why would god create X many different versions of blood-types when he made people? (Also why would he make us so ridiculously complex on the inside - being all powerful surely he could make us a bit simpler!!) —Preceding unsigned comment added by 194.221.133.226 (talk) 13:30, 12 June 2008 (UTC)


 * Monolith Productions? APL (talk) 15:56, 12 June 2008 (UTC)

A question of taste
What other bands will I find appealing if I love My Chemical Romance, Evanescence, Pink Floyd & Radiohead? 130.76.96.19 (talk) 14:44, 12 June 2008 (UTC)
 * Try typing those group names into this website. You get a groovy screen of similar bands floating around the place.  Also, try typing them into the Artist box of Last FM and then clicking the 'Similar' tab.  --Richardrj talkemail 14:51, 12 June 2008 (UTC)


 * Or look on the iTunes Music Store and they'll have a "customers also bought" as well as a section within the biography that shows their 'influences' and 'contemporaries'. I think Amazon has a similar thing too. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 194.221.133.226 (talk) 14:57, 12 June 2008 (UTC)

Damien - The original movie
What is the name of the musical score that is famous because of this movie? It sounded like opera. --Vincebosma (talk) 15:07, 12 June 2008 (UTC)
 * If you're referring to The Omen, it was an original score composed by Jerry Goldsmith. --Richardrj talkemail 15:09, 12 June 2008 (UTC)


 * Yes! You are right! What is the name of that tune?  I am trying to find it on iTunes.--Vincebosma (talk) 15:12, 12 June 2008 (UTC)
 * Well, The Omen gives the track listing of the soundtrack album. I imagine it would just be listed as The Omen soundtrack by Jerry Goldsmith.  You'd have to preview the individual tracks to find the exact one you're thinking of. --Richardrj talkemail 15:23, 12 June 2008 (UTC)
 * I should actually look, but I'm going to guess O Fortuna, from Carmina Burana by Carl Orff. -- LarryMac  | Talk  15:30, 12 June 2008 (UTC)
 * O Fortuna was popularized by Excalibur (1981); I don't believe it appeared in The Omen. It is a catchy piece and it has been used in a myriad of movie trailers since.  --——  Gadget850 (Ed)  talk  -  21:25, 12 June 2008 (UTC)
 * What the OP is referring to is probably "Ave Satani". Deor (talk) 13:32, 13 June 2008 (UTC)

Movie Role
Hi I'm posting this here because it was earler removed for being posted at the wrong section.

Movie Role

Yesterday on the radio the presenter was going through the entertainment news and said that Avril Lavigne is going to star in a new movie. I've checked it out on google, but the only links I could find (provided below) do not give any more information than that basic information. Does anyone know what movie this is or when it will be released? Thank you. These links:

 * Nothing is known at present other than it is a lead role in an upcoming film. Have a look at the article under the film career section. However, the quote from Avril, "something you wouldn't expect from me, something deep and dark" is very similar to another quote from her about 1 year ago, "a dark kind of drama, sort of indie, kind of, but not too indie", when she was supposed to be staring in a movie called "Twist of Fate". Apparently that opportunity fell through. So until this news comes from a more credible source, it's just a rumor. D0762 (talk) 10:52, 13 June 2008 (UTC)
