James Horner, Oscar-winning composer, dead in plane crash
June 23, 2015 at 6:05 pm
Quote:Academy Award-winning composer James Horner, known for his impressive body of work spanning multiple movie genres, is feared dead after a small plane belonging to him crashed in central California on Monday, killing the pilot.
It is not known whether the 61-year-old Horner, best known for scoring the movie "Titanic," was the person flying the plane.
But the Hollywood Reporter reported his death, attributing the confirmation to Sylvia Patrycja, his assistant. {

Responsible for awesome movie music such as
- Star Trek II, the Wrath of Khan
- Aliens (mostly reusing stuff from ST2)
- Cocoon
- Braveheart
- Titanic
- A beautiful mind
Sad day for music...

His music has the originality of a Chinese knock off, the class of a cheap whore and the subtlety of a bull in a china shop.

Would it betray the 13 year old girl in me to say the only soundtrack that I could recognize from that list is Titanic?

I didn't mind Horner, but he's no Basil Poledouris.

HATERS!!!
I walked to school every morning with my neighbors and the girl (Melissa, who was my age and with whom I was good friends) would blast My Heart Will Go On over and over on their stereo as she was getting ready...
*sigh* Ah, memories...

I was so close to making the same lame joke because that song makes me cringe so much, and the singer even more. But I can hardly blame the poor guy for Dion.
The fool hath said in his heart, There is a God. They are corrupt, they have done abominable works, there is none that doeth good.
