    A WIKIPEDIA hoax by a 22-year-old Dublin student resulted in a fake quote being published in newspaper obituaries around the world.

    The quote was attributed to French composer Maurice Jarre who died at the end of March.

    It was posted on the online encyclopedia shortly after his death and later appeared in obituaries published in the Guardian, the London Independent, on the BBC Music Magazine website and in Indian and Australian newspapers.

    “One could say my life itself has been one long soundtrack. Music was my life, music brought me to life, and music is how I will be remembered long after I leave this life. When I die there will be a final waltz playing in my head, that only I can hear,” Jarre was quoted as saying.

    However, these words were not uttered by the Oscar-winning composer but written by Shane Fitzgerald, a final-year undergraduate student studying sociology and economics at University College Dublin.

    I agree.

    Wherever he is now, he would write better music than Doyle.

    You've never seen MAD MAX 3? I thought that was part of the upbringing of every film buff my age.

    Then again, I'm assuming you're my age (going on 32), which you may not be.

    Big, bold, adventurous. I like it a lot (though not as much as Tim does!)

    I am about the same age as Thor, so it was of course part of my upbringing. I thought the film was pretty awful even then!

    Indeed James. In fact, it is up there in my top 50 film scores.

    27. I've never seen any Mad Max film, or heard any bit of their scores. I suppose I should pick this up, from all the praise I'm hearing. It's not a limited release is it?
  27. Tried watching the first MM film. Hated it. Now way I would watch another.

    The first is very enjoyable, albeit a bit crude. The second film is really the best - raw and uncomprimising and with terrific atmosphere. The third is an epic, over-the-top extravaganza with certain flaws, but still fun.
    I am extremely serious.
  29. Nah. Once you watch 30 minutes, you've seen it all. Reall, you can cut it down to a 30 minute presentation. Why would anybody want to see a film over 30 minutes long?
