He also throws in some Bartok there.
Williams has done it too, and Goldsmith wasn’t above it either, but they’re usually more subtle.

Illustration and film scoring are sort of comparable creative endeavours, so I understand why he would recycle his own ideas, revisit certain sounds, or be stuck working with the wants of a director.
But then there a moments where it’s just painfully obvious that the good stuff there was not his.
His score for Willow is amazing, every major theme he used in it he got from somewhere else.
Hard to pick just one movie from ‘82!
That is one of the most egregious ones, up there with some Benjamin Britten, and Prokofiev bits.
I went through some Horner nostalgia last month, and it’s so strange how he could be such a hack and so skilled in the same score.
On the Greenaway zodiac I’m from the year of the Draughtman’s Contract
About a particular score, or just his whole general approach to composition/cribbing?
I mean I figured that since JMS was in charge of it he was trying to make it good. Which is probably why it never went forward.
More photos I took as a teenager in Iran.
It’s such a perfect storm of the Democrats’ complete institutional ossification, voters’ desire for someone who promises change, and the arrogance of this guy with no experience who thinks he can just run for the senate.
Never trust a trustfund farmer.
The real tragedy is that the Democrats can’t put up a candidate who can beat this flake.
there's a thing I like to call "load-bearing assumptions", that you don't notice until they're suddenly gone (e.g the air you breath has oxygen in it).
the post-ww2 order is a load-bearing assumption for basically the entirety of american life. trump took a sledgehammer to it in the last 90 days.
If we’re going to bring back incredibly dated looking scifi shows, can’t we get a Babylon 5 reboot instead?
In all fairness that’s how it should go with a picture book ideally.
Whole galaxy of humans lording it over everyone, and now one of those little pink turds wants to hone in on Pod Racing too?
Sebulba was right.
Grandpa van den Berg was a farmer, Grandpa Groenink sat in a corner and smoked.
Riddley Walker is great. It teaches you how to read it, but it’s worth the work.
(Someone pay me to illustrate it!)
Jashar is one of the best out there making picture books these days. His work is relatable, fun, colourful, with a sophisticated grasp of shape and composition.
Apart from anything else it was one of the most unpleasant looking shows I’ve ever seen.
I love Plutotv, you can just turn it on and find a channel that’s in the middle of the clumsiest scene of Star Trek V, or you can get Alfre Woodard chewing out Picard.
Dog has unlocked a new skill in farting: somehow it smells like skunk in here now.
The electroshock therapy probably didn’t help either. He died way too young, and left behind a family and many unfinished projects.
I want to see your Prunesquallor!
Ugh! One of the most painful experiences I’ve gone through.
Recover soon!
I mean someone’s got to make the kanar.
just became aware of this--the regime wants to clear-cut massive chunks of Oregon's old growth forests in the name of timber production.
you have until March 23rd to comment.
i know we have endless fucking things to scream at politicians about--this is an important one too.

Just saw Joe Hisaishi is coming to Tanglewood this summer. In case you nerds need something to do in July.
‘Haha, those Barkonians don’t know what radiation is’
