JAMES HORNER

Also, I hope it was clear from my comment that I hate gays and I believe homosexuality is a sin against God.

You're getting there.

It doesn't work if we know you don't mean it. Whereas I know you really hate my song

Horner is severely missed. I can't wait for his next score, whenever it comes out.

I guess I don't even know what the fuck the word "gay" is supposed to mean anymore.

Perhaps now isn't the best time to say this, given the context, but I am actually in that video. Pause it at seven seconds, I'm the guy on the far left. Gayest thing you'll see this year indeed.

Spotted.

Very gay.

Also, so much this.

If you're overly politically correct and insist on taking offense, it probably means you should chill the fuck out.

With that in mind, I'm going to trawl the Internet and see what other jokes I can kill with political correctness. It'll be a gay old time for sure!

Do not press.

The whole point is, I want this to be the one place on the internet I can come and feel reasonably sure that music I love is not going to be made into a joke. But apparently it's never going to be that. Also, why do you think I'm not chill? Can you magically detect my mood through the interwebs?

No. I could just ignore it, but I choose not to, because I rather enjoy these debates.

I don't think there should be arguments "against" any score, whether I like the score or not. Wasn't anyone else taught, "if you don't have something good to say, don't say it"?

I personally prefer to try to be as open-minded as possible, and I have discovered so much fascinating new music that way, whether scores or "normal" music.

And like I've said before, negativity on these forums has a lot of power to turn people off of music they might have loved. Often I will skip a score because someone posted a negative opinion of it here. And occasionally I decide to go back to it a long time later and realize that I was missing out on something wonderful the whole time. I'd rather that not have to happen ever, for me or anyone else.

Sorry this post is all over the place and incoherent, I didn't sleep enough and I'm having a hard time getting my thoughts to flow properly!

While I am not against negative reviews of any kind, I do sometimes wish that both negative and positive reviews of certain scores (not necessarily my favorites) were a bit better argued than they tend to be. I don't blame anyone for that (though if I may, I sometimes wish you put your musical expertise to a bigger use on this board, D. I'd love to hear, from a musical standpoint, why do you love some scores and why you hate some I might for example like, it's not about having an argument, to me it would be a huge learning experience simply). Still it would be great to hear the "why" sometimes .
