	Filmtracks: Romancing the Stone (Alan Silvestri)
		Romancing the Stone: (Alan Silvestri) It's difficult to imagine today, but there was a time in 1983 when director Robert Zemeckis couldn't find a composer to pair up with.
		Even as dated as it is, Romancing the Stone may appeal to Silvestri completists, but Varèse Sarabande would do significantly better pursuing a long-awaited release of the next score in the collaboration, Back to the Future.

	Romancing the Stone
		To polish the stone the entire sculpture is first heated by direct immersion in a fire, or by building a fire in an oil drum and wheeling the sculpture around it to distribute the heat evenly.
		It is the Zen of the stone that it is both strong and fragile.
		While all the stone types are hard enough that they can – unless cracked – withstand the coldest temperatures, the highly polished surfaces of a sculpture can scratch, while a hard fall can cause chips on thin edges.

		Before the Rosetta Stone was found by Napoleon's army in 1799, Ptolemy's ploys were understandably forgotten, yet he wasn't the only pharaoh whose feats were unknown: Even the legacy of Ramses, builder of the great temple at Karnak, had sunk into hieroglyphic obscurity.
		One of many stelae -- stone markers -- produced as political propaganda in the year 196 B.C., it advertised the pharaoh's generosity to three key constituencies -- the Greek government, the Egyptian people and the otherworldly gods -- each of whom used a different script.
		The temple where the stone rested fell to ruin, and the granite was recycled in a citadel in the town of Rosetta until the French invaded Egypt in 1798, and, to keep the British Navy at bay, decided to remodel.

		It was also a big break for screenwriter Diane Thomas, and she probably would have gone on to be a big name in the industry if she weren’t killed in a car crash shortly after the film was released.
		It was released in the spring prior to the highly-anticipated Indiana Jones sequel, “Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom.” For fans of adventure, “Romancing the Stone” was seen as a great lead-in to the other film, and it’s not surprising that the poster art had a distinct Indiana Jones feel to it.
		The story is about a romance novelist named Joan Wilder (Kathleen Turner) who travels to Colombia to save her kidnapped sister.

	Gem Faceting: Romancing The Stone
		When the back is flat, a dop (usually a wooden dowel) is adhered to it with dop wax, and the stone is moved slowly against grinding wheels of coarse to fine grit and then to polish to produce the smooth shine we expect.
		If the stone is about the size you need, you can use a rough wheel on a cabbing machine to preform the stone with a flat top, sides that approximate the shape you (or the stone) have chosen, and a bottom that tapers to a point (culet) or to a keel line (for emerald cuts).
		When the stone is competed, it is usually soaked in a solvent such as methylene chloride to remove the dop.

		As well as a prized collection of romance novels, his compound boasts hi-fi, multigym, photocopier, and a supercharged SUV, and he engineers the trio's escape by means of a nifty infrared-controlled garage door opener.
		In brief, the Latin American jungle is here rather transparently a displaced version of the urban jungle in which Jean has unsuccessfully been searching for romance and excitement by purveying narratives of escapism in which she can imagine herself a dashing heroine partnered with a modern-day cowboy.
		But it is only in Colombia, as she writes herself into an actualization of one of these exoticized fantasies ("How're you going to write yourself out of this one?" Jack asks at one tense moment), that she can live up to the social demands of someone like her New York publisher, Gloria.

	Romancing The Stone - Music from the Movies
		Romancing The Stone was 20th Century Fox's answer to the action/adventure movie in the Indiana Jones vein without trying to be like Indiana Jones (The Temple Of Doom was released the same year) and who better than to achieve this would be a young Spielberg protégé Robert Zemeckis.
		In order to lessen the comparison between the Indiana Jones films and what Zemeckis was trying to achieve in Romancing The Stone the decision was made not to have a full blown orchestral score - rather the producers wanted something a little bit upbeat and jazzy but with an orchestral base.
		Romancing The Stone is an important score for two reasons: firstly it was Alan Silvestri's breakthrough score (and even though they did not want a full orchestra Robert Zemeckis certainly got that on their next outing together!) and secondly because it has been much requested for as long as I can remember.

	Romancing the Stone Movie Review, DVD Release - Filmcritic.com
		Stone hit a nerve with both feminists (riding the high point of that movement's wave) and movie fans simply looking for a good time.
		Its combination of romance and adventure (and a bit of comedy) was spot-on, and few films that have arrived since have captured Stone's enthusiasm and good-naturedness.
		This is the kind of film where no one gets hit by bullets fired from a dozen machine guns, and the worst thing that happens when you go over a waterfall in a compact car is that you get separated from your companion down at the bottom of the river.

	Romancing the Stone - Boston Magazine
		Carved more than 3,800 years ago in Egypt from a block of hard, brown stone, the sculpture lost its body somewhere along an epic journey that also left it with a chipped nose and a fractured headdress.
		Inch by inch, technicians removed a layer of lacquer they determined was applied some time in the past 50 to 100 years, when many collectors found it fashionable to cover their pieces with a glossy sheen.
		Aside from a nerve-racking moment when it appeared that a poultice used to clean the sculpture had peeled off some stone (it hadn't), the delicate process went smoothly.

		But the appeal of an overseas investment property, not least to those investors who might want to live in it themselves, or those who may wish to sell it on in time, may owe much to its appearance.
		Not only did such a house offer a good price, but, the paper notes noted, it is far away from the coastal areas where the winds of the Spanish property downturn have been blowing.
		So when it comes to old stone properties in the countryside, it may be that it's not just the aesthetics that matter.

		A precious stone should be a mineral, that is, an object formed spontaneously in nature, without human intervention.
		This property is essential to our definition, because many modern artificial stones are highly prized, and synthetic varieties are sometimes virtually indistinguishable from the natural ones.
		Rarity is a criterion which has more to do with the beholder than the beheld, it is connected to that part of human nature that prefers things that are hard to come by, partly to arouse in others a sense of envy.
