In film music geek news, composer Alan Silvestri (Back to the Future, Contact, Forrest Gump) has been released from his duties for the upcoming film Pirates of the Caribbean. This is, of course, a development of staggering bogusity. SIlvestri is a gifted composer of accessible, and yet distinctive, film music and I was really looking forward to hearing the results of his encounter with the "Big Swashbuckler" genre. Now, instead we'll get another bland, cookie-cutter score from Hans Zimmer's Media Ventures factory. So, yes, whoever is responsible for this decision should be made to walk the plank. Pronto. Geek mode "off".

(And it's my blog, so if I want to make up words like "bogusity", I will do just that. Harumph. Where the hell is my coffee?!)
