Academy Award Fraud - Page 4

Similarities is not the issue. James Horner is the most infamous film composer for using similarities. Titanic has a passage from his Star Trek IV score (as apparently, per mousepod, does Aliens). But repeating a passage is not the same as re-using an entire music cue. Similar sounding scores (such as those by John Williams, who -despite that- does not repeat passages) are even further away from the self-plagerism I am railing about.

Perhaps when I'm feeling less lazy, I'll make an account at that The Envelope board and post the links I have to Deadwood and Babel. Ooooh, does anyone have The Insider score???

I hear that the editor doesn't read the board, unfortunately.

So, oddly enough, that piece of music is chasing me! I turned on KCRW for the first time in awhile (didn't feel like listening to the iPod) at a time of day I'm not usually traveling, and the first full song I hear? That very same theme from Babel. Er, Deadwood. Er, The Insider.
