    Is Hans Zimmer overrated as a composer?

    When it comes to all movies, but especially comic book movies, two of the absolute benchmarks for me are The Dark Knight and Captain America: The Winter Soldier. The scores of those films by Rctec and Henry are one of the major contributing factors to my great, great love of those films.

    Remote Control Visit?

    I would certainly ask beforehand. Don't forget that Hans or anyone at RCP may be working on a score for a film, tv show or documentary. And that having someone just wonder around randomly could (I imagine) go against some of the rules in the various verbal and written Non Disclosure Agreements...
