Naw, my original intent was to get people to think about how the film industry has changed, with regards to this forum, obviously music reflects this progressing downward spiral. Zimmer merely came in at a time when he expertise and background in advancing music oriented technologies and hi interest in film scoring, pushed him to the forefront of the film composition. Not only is he talented and a visionary at what he does, but he also showed a path that made many young hopeful composers think that if they could hop onto his coat tails that they too could compose scores... so easily done, that they can do it right out the loft above their parents garage, no less.
If we were talking about Zimmer... seriously, when we the last time you saw his name, and HIS NAME ONLY, attached to a film? Has he ever scored a film all by his self? I can't remember... and that, I think, is very telling.
