I love when someone reads but doesn't "READ." I didn't say anything about re-using themes. Of course they're going to reuse themes - thats the purpose of the theme! Tie the stories together. What I'm talking about is whole cues being lifted from one movie in the series to the next. I'm not pointing out lack of creativity. I'm pointing out the fact these guys old and in the case of Goldsmith, very sick. Btw, I'd appreciate not being talked down to like a some three year old novice thats still playing on Kodaly instruments. You don't know me and have absolutely NO idea what my music background is. For all you know, I could be playing lead trumpet in the London Symphony. I'm not, but I'd appreciate a little courtesy and respect.
