Obviously, it was just an example.that source does not tell you much. that is 10% of film releases. I guess 1,000 films get released every year. They all have audio and a soundtrack.

And I don’t know with what knowledge you’re coming at this, but JMS is not at all a cynic. The context is included in the image, as he is replying to a tweet which asks him—creator/writer/showrunner of one of the greatest auteur-driven science fiction shows of all time, and soon again to start a reimagination of it—how he likes to receive pitches.What it has to do with music? Unfortunately, these days stories are written based upon marketing researches(btw, Terminator was considered as "madness" from marketing standpoint and as a huge risk back then); fortunately it has nothing to do with music.
Also, there's no "wisdom" in cynicism.
Yee gads!If I never heard a alternating minor third string ostinato again I would be happy.
Yee gads!
No Prokoviev Sym 5, Mv 2 any more? Seriously dude?
minor thirds and tasteful music need not be mutually exclusive!
Directors and producers are probably to blame. It's their films after all.There used to be artists that push and force a listener to re-evaluate their understanding of what is music and what is acceptable structure in music. There isn't enough people trying to do the same thing today with the slew of tools at their disposal. Too afraid to challenge an audience.
The last truly interesing score was Zimmer's Inception, which is now over 10 years old! The "Marvelization" and "Epicization" of film and TV music is on par with the originality of the Boston Pops. Need new blood to inject new life into entertainment.Directors and producers are probably to blame. It's their films after all.
Like in everything, there will always be a status quo and people that try to disrupt it. Some of these become new major trends.

Im not sure that can be true, if im to offer my opinion. And, please qualify your arguments, id like to hear why «interesting» - im sure you see the redundancy in a long list of myopic statements without context. Why would 10 years be concidered a long time, for example?The last truly interesing score was Zimmer's Inception, which is now over 10 years old!

Yes. i listened to the new Dune OST. I didn't find it particularly original. Sort of revisiting territory that has already been trodden. I agree. A lot does depend on the film maker and what they want to do.Like in everything, there will always be a status quo and people that try to disrupt it. Some of these become new major trends.

Since Inception I've enjoyed other stuff like Blade Runner 2049, Tenet, and also the stuff from Johann Johannssonn and Hildur Guðnadóttir:
- Sicario
- Joker
- Chernobyl
- The Revenant (by Sakamoto and Alva Noto but Hildur played the cello)
In the end it all revolves around the work of great directors like Nolan, Villeneuve, Iñarritu, etc.
Have you listened to Dune? I haven't in detail, but from what little I've heard (to avoid spoiling the film) I think it's going to be the best Zimmer has ever made.
I don't know if the claim that most are in their 20s and 30s is accurate. Also, quality I usually don't like to use to quantify music or art. Quality is subjective. My issue is lack of risk taking in an environment that allows for risks to be taken.Most of the music that has out lasted trends and fashions and continues to entice argument is music made by people that challenged an audience. The difference is, those composers lived at a time where experimentation was encouraged. They could have very easily just chosen to make Broadway tunes but Steve Reich's trumps "Hello Dolly" which has been long forgotten.One big reason for an overall decline in musical quality in any media...
...most music-editors, 'music-scouts', and many producers are all in their 20's or 30's.
They've grown up for the most part hearing some pretty lame, uncreative music; especially in the realm of pop music, which for better or worse, rules the global music scene.
They may be a few exceptions, but you have to call it like it is.
Yee gads!

Hasn't this been always the case?They've grown up for the most part hearing some pretty lame, uncreative music; especially in the realm of pop music, which for better or worse, rules the global music scene.
Midsommar, King Arthur: legend of the sword, it follows, oblivion, the martian...there are still great soundtracks being released.The last truly interesing score was Zimmer's Inception, which is now over 10 years old!
