By the way and I would love to find it on you tube MORT ADLER devoted a whole show years ago about how music affects different people in different ways. It really was fascinating.

I would also like to say that I also understand BASIL WRATHBONE'S point as well, sometimes you do gradually accept something because it becomes so common to you not because you really like or love it or it's good It is because it sought of becomes a part of your life. SAM ARKOFF,[remark] after a while if you hear or see anything long enough you will accept it. Now this can be dangerous because one can become addicted to something that their spending their time on it instead of trying something new that they would really like a lot better by more honest means. Again some diversity would be beneficial. That is why I thought it was sad decades ago with just the 3 network choice on TV against the endless choices this generation can now have do to technology. It's sad how many people spend their lives watching LEAVE IT TO BEAVER OR the ED SULLIVAN SHOW OR ADAM 12, not because they really, REALLY LIKED IT,but because what else am I going to do. That is I feel a waste of life.

I find that it's not only composers I can warm up to, but also styles that had previously left me cold. For example, when I was initially getting into film music, I wasn't much into the sort of thing that Henry Mancini did because I didn't appreciate that sort of idiom as much as I do now. Now that style of score represents one of my favorites.
Regarding the Media Control/Remote Ventures sound, I am still not happy that it is the default approach for an action/adventure film, but I have found more people doing things with that sound that I do like. And while I used to rail against Hans Zimmer for starting it all — or at least making it the norm, I have to admit that there are too many scores of his that I like to make any broad, sweeping generalizations about him or his style anymore.
That, ultimately, is the big difference between myself now and myself of probably-not-as-long-ago-as-it-seems; by this point, I've encountered too many “exceptions” to my “rules” to put too much stock in what I think my own “rules” are anymore. I've also found that in some cases my tastes have changed. This makes me somewhat more open-minded when approaching a title, even one I was formerly ambivalent about.
