two syllables with dominant vowel sounds makes it an easy word to toss into a 4/4 pop song chorus.

A shoot @E_Schaaf i changed the question as you were replying, sorry about that.

I find myself listening to the OST lately because no time to watch the actual movie. Latest example: Dune (Hans Zimmer).

I’ve watched plenty of movies for the first time after already being intimately familiar with the OST.

Only if I don't really care about the movie, but do care about whoever made the soundtrack. Like dune, I would listen to the soundtrack, I like Hans Zimmer's stuff, but I don't have any plans to see the movie

I keep trying to set aside time to watch movies but I usually end up just listening to albums instead.

I don't. It's crazy but feel like it might subconsciously spoil the movements of the film. But then again, I don't watch trailers either, unless it's a movie I know the only way I'll see it is if the trailer engages me.

Reverse for me. I watch random movies that pique my interest and only check out soundtracks that stick out to me. Full disclosure though this happens far more often with video games than anything else haha

I do this with videogames I don't play.

Sometimes, unless it's Hans Zimmer, and then I just don't listen to it at all.

Zimmer's "Dune sketchbook" is interesting, better than the official soundtrack.

yes, and I get upset when the song names contain spoilers.

@Mithrandir41 what's wrong with Hans Zimmer? I like his stuff, like a slightly worse but more mainstream Philip Glass

IMO, it depends if he phones it in or not.

@spwath, his over use of ululating female voices has always bugged me, and when it comes to actual themes, he's vastly inferior to Williams and Horner. On the positive side I think he comes up with some epic musical sound effects.

Yes @Mithrandir41 but is he trying to be a Williams or Horner? He's sort of like a blues man, who plays the same 12 bar progression over and over and over...but is good at it.

@crenca, I just think he's overrated in general. If others like him, it's all good.
