[Fmpro] Attention Santa Claus:

[Job M. van Zuijlen]

John, I'm trying to follow you here...

It seems you want to go back to the past:

(I want melody, BIG luscious full-blown memorable melody. I want bold, 
ostentatious main title ballads or instrumentals that will vividly represent 
the whole of a narrative and will stick with me for weeks after leaving the 
theatre. I want distinctive and colorful motives (that will actually draw 
attention to themselves) for individual characters and/or 
situations/locales.)

and the future:

(I want outlandish experimentation from film composers - so advanced that it 
will actually pull out ahead of directors and writers and itself inspire 
cinematic innovation!)

at the same time.  I'm all with you on the last part, but I'm not so sure 
about the first.  John Williams may have his qualities, but an experimenter 
he is not IMO.
