Bear: I can. I knew Elmer , I met him when I was in high school and— Raya: It’s Elmer Bernstein. Bear: Yeah. Elmer Bernstein who, who did so many of the most important film scores to ever be written; The Ten Commandments, The Great Escape,To Kill A Mockingbird, The Magnificent Seven, Animal House, Ghost Busters, the list goes on and on.
Not in a bad way, I mean, just the influence was there and that they were innovating, I mean stuff like Herrmann’s The Day The Earth Stood Still or Elmer Bernstein’s To Kill A Mockingbird, which if you put that in a movie trailer today, I don’t think anyone would think that that music was 55 years old. So it’s, that was a big sort of epiphany for me when I realized how far back this tradition goes and started studying very closely what those guys were doing.
- It all comes back to a curious incident 10 years earlier, in 1913. We've invited Elmer , from the YouTube channel, Fern, to tell you about it. - Hardy sits at his breakfast table, when a strange letter arrives.
I, I got it, the first job that I got, I was, I graduated, I had nothing going on, I was actually even, I crashed at Elmer ’s place, at his Santa Monica house, for a month. So I could score a student film with a budget of zero dollars.
at films of prehistoric man -- Bugs Bunny is I guess and he sees Elmer Fuddstone versus a Neanderthal Bugs Bunny. And this is the first cartoon where the guy Arthur Q. Bryan, who was the voice of Elmer Fudd, had just died. So they got in somebody else to do the voice and the voice is like pathetic, "Bugs Bunny" It's really bad and Bugs Bunny is like a Neanderthal so they drew him a strange way. It's ugly looking. It's got the wrong voice for Elmer Fudd. It's a Robert McKimsom. It's a very late one. It's like oy - this is like,
doesn't come close to Chatwin Hemingways or carox I will be a firsttime guide book writer and a best a secondary character in a Carl hon or Elmer Leonard novel that's not to say that I am not serious about this project I am dead serious about it it's my big break with Lonely Planet my opportunity to do something huge to influence other Travelers I will ring the life out of

So-- and I'm cool with that. And the glue I use is very similar to Elmer 's glue, white glue.
That's a guy named Frank Walsh who was the first manager of industrial design at the Ampex Corporation-- which again basically no longer exists-- with his friend, whose name is Elmer Average, an articulated anthropometric figure, in which they're approaching the task of design in, I'd say, an almost rigorously scientific fashion, not just kind of how it looks and how it feels and is it beautiful or not.
the one I, my least favorite Bugs Bunny cartoon is one called "Pre-Hysterical Hare". It's so bad. It's, it's one where he, I don't even remember the exact plot. But they're looking at films of prehistoric man -- Bugs Bunny is I guess and he sees Elmer Fuddstone versus a Neanderthal Bugs Bunny. And this is the first cartoon where the guy Arthur Q.

At the time it wasn’t on DVD, it wasn’t on TV, it wasn’t screened anywhere, it had had a theatrical run and that was it. And it was still one of the most highly sought-after scores that Elmer had written. Fans were writing him and saying, “Oh, when are you gonna perform that music?
So here is a diagram, perhaps notional, of the electronic equipment that was in the Visible Language Workshop and the way it went together. It included, for example, a $500,000 Perkin-Elmer computer, 300 megabyte disk drive, and so on and so forth. Now, Cooper made this image using a collection of that image-making material.
The husband pronounced his Rs as Ws, a speech defect called R-labialization, most famously portrayed, of course, by Elmer Fudd. So this exceedingly pleasant, exceedingly soft spoken guy would, each and every Friday evening, invariably order a "Wob Woy," very "dwy," a "wum"

Temple Of Doom and Empire Strikes Back had a big impression on me for sure. And then it was in high school that I discovered– I had this sort of epiphany when I discovered the film music of Jerry Goldsmith, Elmer Bernstein, Bernard Herrmann, Nino Rota and Ennio Morricone.
It comes up to here on me. And in fact, when it was a puppy they, they had to put it on downers because it would jump up on Elmer and it’s like eight feet high.
