Yes, I know very well!
I know the analogy isn't very well balanced; I was just trying to make an arguement against Mr. Clemmensen's continous plea for long melodies.

Mr. Zimmer may be mass producing scores at the moment, but he is also a composer with his own style, and to assume that you know what to tell him to do is to give yourself a lot of credit (aimed at Mr. Clemmensen's review).
