1. "Hit" by James Horner from Patriot Games Yes, James Horner has scored other things besides James Cameron films. I know, it's shocking. Patriot Games has a interesting Irish-tinged score that's also fraught with action and tense suspense. It's an odd combo, but it makes for an exciting as well as dreary-sounding score, much like the film itself. "Hit" accompanies the assassination attempt on

This post is written first to myself, Caleb Sommerville, and then to the tens of people that will read this. The two words up for the prize of Buzzwords of the Decade. Hope and Change. The question no one (seriously) asks of Obama's catchphrase is this: Hope in what? Change of what? What are we supposed to be placing hope in? What exactly needs change and what does that entail? It's no secret

As you tens of readers know from my occasional Shuffleboard© posts, I have a ton of music. A ton of really varied music. Over the years I've collected quite a few tunes (I'm up to 9032 songs, 24.1 days, or 42.48GB), so a few of them are bound to be weird, even to my eclectic ear. Ooo. I'm saving Eclectic Ear for when I have a band. 1. "Art of Life" by X-Japan My senior year of college, I had an

Come April, when my two-year contract is up with AT&T, I'm splittin' town. My iPhone will remain in service as an iPod Touch, but my cell phone loyalties will be shifting to a competitor. I can only stomach so much arrogance and buffoonery before I throw up. When Apple announced the iPhone in January of 2007, it was hailed as the beginning of the smartphone era (even though less-polished phones

1. "Prelude from Suite No. 1 for Unaccompanied Cello in G Major" by Yo-Yo Ma from Sounds of Yo-Yo Ma Note: composed by Bach Nothing better than a great cello. Yo-Yo Ma is the cello, as far as I'm concerned. Like Itzhak Perlman on the violin and John Coltrane on the sax, Ma is the definition of a great cellist. This is one of the more popular Bach cello pieces. It's definitely written solely for a

That's right, tens of readers, THE REACTOR is one year old, today. On July 29, 2009, I began reacting to things, and I'm still goin strong (and could go admittedly stronger). So here's some stats (via Google Analytics) to round out Year One: Total Visits: 3052 That's less than most minor blogs get in one day. Sad. Average Time on Site: 1 minute, 1 second Yup, internet short attention span FTW.

1. "The Departure of Boromir" by Howard Shore from The Fellowship of the Ring Howard Shore. The man is an enigma to me. He came out of nowhere (for me, at least), wrote hours of outstanding music for the Lord of the Rings trilogy, and hasn't written anything close since. Nevertheless, his music for the epic movies is indeed epic in it's own right. This track is from the "Complete Recordings"

This blog is called THE REACTOR for a reason. I tend to be very opinionated (at the very least, in my own mind) about things that happen from day to day. I have knee-jerk reactions to many things, which sometimes I unfortunately write about and publish without a second thought. Such is the nature of the blogosphere (+10 points for using that word), and it's not always bad. They say that the first

For THE REACTOR's first guest post, my friend Isaac has written a review of Emergent Poster Boy Rob Bell's book "Velvet Elvis." Isaac is a firefighter, a language-studier, a fencer, a philosopher, a good friend, and an all-around jack-of-all-trades, so I trust his judgement and endorse what he says below 100%. Rob Bell. Some might call him a heretic, and some might say he's the poster child

1. "'Ta-Ta Charlie" by Michael Giacchino from LOST Season 3 In what was certainly one of the most emotional parts of LOST, Michael Giacchino wrote some of the most emotional music as well. This sparse but strongly emotional (one of Giacchino's strong points) piano-and-string piece is played right before Charlie sets off to sacrifice himself for the sake of the other survivors. It was an extremely

Home 3D is the next big thing, if you listen to the entertainment and gadget world (or rather, the bigwigs that run the companies that run the entertainment and gadget world). If you listen to common sense, it's a giant load of hooey. After the success of "Avatar" in 3D last year, everyone in the entertainment biz has been scrambling to put out 3D crap.

An oil rig exploded in early May and is still leaking tons of oil into the Gulf of Mexico. It's a horrifying ordeal, and one that will likely replace the Exxon Valdez as the Most Notorious Oil Spill in history. Political activists, mostly liberal, have jumped on the spill and Obama himself has threatened BP (the company that owned the rig) and told them he's "holding them responsible." Overall,

"And I am reminded, on this holy day, of the sad story of Kitty Genovese. As you all may remember, a long time ago, almost thirty years ago, this poor soul cried out for help time and time again, but no person answered her calls. Though many saw, no one so much as called the police. They all just watched as Kitty was being stabbed to death in broad daylight. They watched as her assailant walked

1. "Down Under" by Colin HayThe original "Down Under," an Australian folk song by "Men at Work," is a weird, catchy, and apparently anthemic-for-Aussies tune straight out of the 80s. The words are strange, but sum up the easy-going life of Aussies. This live version by "Men at Work" alum Colin Hay is outstanding. It's recorded at a bar (in Nashville, I think), so he jokes with the audience at the

Sorry I've been so behind on these. This week's LOST, "Dr. Linus," was yet another great Ben episode. Ben is either terrifying or weirdly endearing (or obnoxiously evil), and our perception of him seems to change every episode.Ilana finds out that Ben killed Jacob, which is apparently worse than we thought. She looks like she's about to eat him once Miles reads Jacob's ashes (WTF?) and tells her

1. "Happy Is A Yuppie Word" by Switchfoot from Nothing Is SoundI'm a big fan of Jon Foreman and his lyrics. This track is no exception. "Happy Is A Yuppie Word" is a rather odd title, but the song is still a cheerful, upbeat song. With lines like "nothing in the world can fail me now" coming right after the title line, the song shows that happiness is not necessarily the thing to strive for. One

Will anyone survive this final season of LOST? The answer's starting to look more and more like "no."This week, we got to see just what the "darkness" growing in Sayid is capable of. He killed Dogen and Lennon, and got an extremely creepy grin on his face after Smokeylocke destroyed the Temple. As far as the Island timeline goes, there's not much else to say. Claire and Sayid let Smokeylocke in

I'm gonna keep these shorter from now on. Just my reaction, no synopsis.It was another whirlwind of "Holy Crap!"s and "What the...?"s last night on LOST. Hurley has become a weird sort of spiritual leader for those still in the Temple, as he can "see" Jacob. Jacob sends Hurley and Jack to a lighthouse that no one has ever noticed before, and Hurley does a fine job of being a leader and convincing

Island Timeline (present day)The episode featured Smokeylocke and Sawyer (and Richard, kind of). An intriguing Smokey-eye-view shot through the jungle opened up the episode. We see (or rather, are) Smokey chattering and clanking through the jungle, pausing outside a Dharma house to listen to some music coming from inside (which turns out to be Sawyer), and zooms back into the jungle to find a

LOST continues to weave its tangled web.Island timeline (2008?)In this week's episode, "What Kate Does" (which plays off the older Season 2 episode "What Kate Did"), we start off in the temple and go through a lot of "Who are you people?" and even more "I don't trust you/I'm going off into the jungle/I'm coming too." It got old real fast. Almost as old as the Temple folk, Lennon (the hippie guy)

Yup, the name is awkward. Here's some pics!Initial reaction? It's a giant iPhone. Even the demo Steve Jobs is doing right now (I'm listening to a live feed from live.twit.tv), makes it sound EXACTLY like a giant iPhone with a higher-res screen. He's using the examples of buying tickets online, browsing the web, sending photos, opening pdfs, pinching and swiping like the iPhone, etc. It even has a

We all know that the media have an unnatural obsession with Obama that has only recently begun to crumble.Then I found this on the New York Times' website. Don't know if this is just an accident, but it's worth posting.Yup, they capitalized "His." As if Obama was indeed, as so many conservative pundits say, the "Chosen One."Why did you do that, NYTimes?

Nine days left, Losties! I'm gonna feature a sweet LOST video every day until the big premiere. Today, we have the real-time, 24-style clip-stitching of the crash of Oceanic 815. It's awesome.

February 2, 2010. LOST's sixth and final season premieres. Aww yeah.In ten days (from now), one of the best shows on TV will (hopefully) blow us all away.When I started watching LOST in 2008, I had no idea what I was getting into. My roommate, Gavin, kept ranting and raving about how good this show was, and I had only heard of it in 2005. I saw commercials for it, and wondered why Merry from the

I haven't been following the Massachusetts Senate race that closely, but after today's result, the Senate could get a lot more interesting.Republican Scott Brown won the Senate seat minutes ago, formerly held by Democrat Martha Coakley.This is Massachusetts for crying out loud. They haven't had a Republican Senator in 30-plus years.While this also eradicates the Senate Democrats' ability to block

When the trailers for Avatar hit a few months ago, I was surprised. It looked sci-fi, it looked unique (we'll get to that later), and had pretty cool effects. But I didn't have a desire to see it. That usually doesn't happen with me and cool explosiony-type movies.Turns out my first instinct was right.To be clear, I still haven't seen it. And I hope I never will. Here's why.1: It has giant

I have an iPhone. Which unfortunately means that I'm stuck with AT&T until the end of my contract, at which point I'll be seriously considering a number of Android phones, most likely. AT&T has a horrible tendency to just ignore the fact that smartphones, especially in the vein of the iPhone, the Palm Pre, and the Droid (i.e., smartphones that use a LOT of data), are the new wave of the future.

Let me disclaimer this by saying I am not a sports fan in any way. I've also lived in both Lawrence and Columbia, the homes of both schools. Every sports franchise has a rival. I'm sure that the Cleveland Curling Cactuses really really hate the Pittsburgh Curling Camels as much as KU and MU hate each other.But at what point does it become silly and offensive? Quite quickly.KU and MU just had

We've all done it. Driving down the highway and suddenly, you get stuck behind a slow/swerving/pissed-off driver. Try as you might, you just can't get away from them. You try to pass, but there's too many cars. You try to slow down, they just slow down right with you. You actually pass them, and they pass you in two minutes, apparently not aware that cruise control is now standard on most cars (

And of course, I use that term "popular" loosely, as it is only popular in certain circles. Namely, college/high schoolers, journalists all hopped-up on Red Bull and Web 2.o, and celebrities. And not everyone is so hip on it.And after observing the two major competing entities, Facebook and Twitter, for the past few months, I've arrived at an interesting conclusion.People like Twitter because

Hi-Fi Revival was my next favorite, and then they disbanded. Sad.Anyways, it's still entertaining ska/rock.This track's got a good beat, good use of horns, and nominal spiritual lyrics. Sounds exactly like most Supertones

1. "Think For Yourself" by The Beatles from Rubber SoulI'm preemptively ducking. The Beatles are only okay to me. *ducks*But seriously. They were indeed responsible for ushering in the rock era we're living in 40 or 50 years later, but their music sounds eerily similar to the 5,000 other songs by them.I've never heard this one and it's been sitting dormant in my iTunes library for a few months

After much delay, here's the full question and answer session I did with composer John Murphy. He's composed excellent scores for smaller movies like 28 Days Later and Sunshine. But he's on the rise.I listen to a lot of soundtracks and while John Williams is my favorite, Mr. Murphy is definitely in the top ten. His music is emotional and raw, which might have to do with the fact that he doesn't

1. "Killer Joe" by Quincy Jones from Walking in SpaceClassic Quincy. Smooth jazz at it's finest. Great mellow trumpet work, unusual and welcome flute solo, and a wonderful muted trumpet solo from Quincy.The vocals are distracting and little out of left field, but otherwise this is one of the standards for a good reason.2. "Han Solo Returns" by John Williams from Return of the JediAh yes, good

Awww yeah. It's here, and it's awesome.I won't post youtubes for all these, because you should just go buy the album. It's that awesome.I've only been a Muse fan for around two years now (thanks Zach!), but I already like the direction they're going.They're categorized as "Epic Rock" in my iTunes, and I can't really think of a different classification for them.They consistently come out with

Somehow (I'm still not sure how), I got an email interview with composer John Murphy. He's composed the score to great films like Sunshine and 28 Days Later, and for some reason, he agreed to answer some questions I had. He's not done yet, so I'll post the interview later, but in the meanwhile, here's some videos to get you hooked.

28 Days Later. Dawn of the Dead. Mad Max. The Postman. I Am Legend. Cloverfield. They all start when our world ends. I just finished reading "The Road" by Cormac McCarthy (I didn't get to the end; halfway is more than enough of that depressing weird book) and noticed that our society as of late has a strange obsession for the Apocalypse and what follows. Who knows where it started (perhaps

"Black Hawk Down" and "Saving Private Ryan" are the movies for military people."Miracle" is the movie for hockey players."Rudy" is the movie for football players.Everyone has their movie, the movie that speaks to their profession and represents it.Mine, as a journalist, is "Good Night, and Good Luck."It tells the story of Edward R. Murrow and his fight against the crazy and illogical actions of

This is one of my favorites simply because of it's randomness. That's Philip Gardner's unicycle. I worked with him at a camp in Colorado called Bear Trap Ranch, and he loved to unicycle off road (don't ask, it's as weird as it sounds). I saw his unicycle just resting against one of the cabins and decided it would be a great shot. And great it was.Once again, here's the link to purchase an

I'm sure you've all heard them. Whether it's by word-of-mouth, flipping past TBN, or hearing them in megachurches, Prosperity Preachers are out there.And allow me to be blunt right away.They are lying to you.They are wrong.They are false prophets.They tell you that you have enough faith, God will give you money, possessions, and arrange circumstances in the way that you want.

Here's another favorite of mine. I took it at Bear Trap Ranch near Colorado Springs, Colorado. It's one of my favorites because of the angle (I have a thing for high/low angle shots) and the greenish black-and-white filter I put on it.It turned out sweet, and you TOO can experience the sweetness every day! Just go here and order it online, and a 8x10 glossy print will be on the way in no

#1 "Safe And Sound" by Chris Cornell from Carry OnI first found Chris Cornell after he sung the title song "You Know My Name" from Casino Royale. My friend had his solo album (I since then discovered Audioslave, and liked their first CD immensely), and it is mostly enjoyable, if mostly predictable.This is one of the mostly forgettable songs. Weird balladish-vibe, boring lyrics, and inexplicable

I'll be featuring some of my favorite photos I've ever taken, along with the link to my etsy store in case you want a print of it.I really like this one. First of all, it features my awesome orange Converse All-Stars, my awesome shoes. It also has Strong Hall, the administration building at KU.

As you may or may not know, Omegle is a weird website that lets you randomly chat with a random stranger anonymously.I decided to try an experiment with it and ask random strangers what they thought of Obama.Here are the responses. Most are surprisingly civil.#1 The Talkative Calm Person (a.k.a. the Internet Rarity)You: What do you think of Obama?Stranger: He is the worst president ever.You: Why?

Journalists have preferences about what kinds of things they cover. Some like the event coverage, some like magaziney-featurey stuff, some like straight up hard news. But each journalist also has preferences about WHERE they like to cover. Metro, college town, small town, they're all different.As for myself, I prefer small towns.Before I start off, let me tell you where I'm coming from. I

It's been awhile since I've had a good ol' ranting post, so here goes.Twitter is dumb. I thought so when it came out, I tried it, deleted my account, and still think it's dumb, no matter what Oprah says.Since facebook and Twitter are similar, I'm going to use one to talk about the other.When facebook started a long time ago, it was a great way of getting connected with people at your college.

This time, we're going with five random songs from my iTunes, along with why I have them, and why I like/dislike them.#1 "Etude No. 2" by Philip Glass from Glass: Etudes for PianoMan, Philip Glass is another one of those severely underrated musicians out there today. He's a composer and classical pianist that I almost got the chance to go see in Lawrence last April, but missed out on. I regret

As promised in the intro post, I will be talking about anything and everything on this blog. That includes music.Who This Is:Muse is one of the most severely underrated bands around today. I think they're big in the UK, where they're from, but they could certainly be bigger here in the States. One can only listen to "Kids" by MGMT so many times on the radio. Muse, to quote a DJ on the same

I had a purely political blog back during the election season last year for kansan.com. It was for an opinion writing class I was taking at the time, and was a lot of fun. I wrote a lot about the issues during the election, issues elsewhere in the world, what my thoughts as a conservative in an incredibly liberal-land were (I've heard KU called the Berkeley of the Midwest), and how I thought we

No, not with a cattle brand. The journalist today is not just a reporter, not just a photographer, not just an editor. We're trained to be it all, to be able to take a camera out on a story and shoot some, or take a notebook to a shoot and be able to write a quick story about it.Therefore, during my time at the journalism school at KU, I was trained to do all of the above. Photography was a
