Bothered

It really annoys me that every time the trailer for Australia comes on all I can think of is Pirates of the Caribbean.

Really Hans Zimmer, can't you at least add a flute or something. Some Kettle Drums would be nice.

Oh, wait. How about not using the exact same melody and instrumentation for every score?

That would be great, 'cuz it's starting to interfere with my ability to pay attention to the movie, because all I can think about is the fact that I can't decide whether this sound's more like Pirates or Gladiator. (Pirates)

Its rather like John Williams and Harry Potter. Does it sound more like Home Alone or ET? (Well at least it sounds like Home Alone.)


*edit* I guess Hans Zimmer didn't do the soundtrack for Australia? Then why the hell does it sound like it on the trailer?

sometimes they recycle old film scores for new trailers. i remember watching a trailer for legends of the fall once that featured the music from last of the mohicans. very disorienting.

Yeah, I know. But Hans Zimmer has a tendency to over use his favorite riffs. Not that I can blame him. He's really hot right now as a composer.

Its still annoying.
