Unlucky Bastard 7,782 Posted December 13, 2010 Share Posted December 13, 2010 Since Oprah Winfrey is currently preaching to her untold millions of worshipers in Australia, I laughed so hard at her entry. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maglorfin 196 Posted December 13, 2010 Share Posted December 13, 2010 In the delivery room, he screamed the final theme from Beethoven’s ninth symphony after being spanked by the doctor (which later led to the belief that he was actually the reincarnation of Beethoven). After this, however, there was no notable interest in music from Williams until he mistakenly sat at his father’s piano when he was 12 and was immediately nominated for his first Academy Award.

Uni 306 Posted December 13, 2010 Share Posted December 13, 2010 "Darth Oscarbait." I love it. Also loved the Chuck Norris-type list at the end. Hasn't anyone started a thread like that around here yet. . . ?- Uni Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andy 4,169 Posted December 13, 2010 Share Posted December 13, 2010 While most of it is a joke, there is an incredible amount of stuff in there (see the "Trivia" section) that is 100% True. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Taikomochi 1,136 Posted December 14, 2010 Share Posted December 14, 2010 I guess I don't like that it acts like Danny Elfman and Williams are in the same class. Goldsmith or Giacchino might be a better choice. Whether or not they are in the same class, at least they have enough fans who think so... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think so--at least that's not how I interpreted the Family Guy take.
