The title of the Amazing Stories first season episode that Billy Goldenberg scored for Peter Hyams' entry is actually - THE AMAZING FALSWORTH.
Oh, how you would you know? It's not like you were credited on three Peter Hyams films or anything.
Fixed.
Imagine if Richard Farnsworth had portrayed The Amazing Falsworth - - yikes! Usually the only trolling I get up to is correcting anything to do with Hyams' movies or Arthur Clarke's works. I'm not well!!
I admit to love the way film critics comment on film music with such great ignorance. It makes the Friday posting that much more fun. Today's hilarious shining ignorance is David Edlestein's comment about the collaboration of Benjamin Britten with Alexander Desplat. Since Britten died in 1976, one would have to wonder what magical time warp Desplat managed to discover in order to work closely with this famous British composer.
Of course, the reality is that portions of Britten's "Young Person's Guide to the Orchestra" are used in the film. The music itself being variations on music by another great British composer, Purcell. I would guess that Edelstein would have Britten collaborating with this Baroque composer as well.
Yet another reason why those music history classes are so important and another sad comment on film commentary these days. But thanks for the great laugh all the same!
Still, ya almost have to grudgingly admire how one person can justify all that snob bile from one-quarter of a sentence, though I detract points for the misquote of `collaboration`--the term used was `tag team` and while ineligant, it doesn`t imply a live collaboration. But why let the facts get in the way of a righteous snark?

Your comment is no more valid than suggesting that if someone produces a comedy sketch based around a work of Shakespeare, he shouldn't use the line "With apologies to William Shakespeare" because Shakespeare is dead and can't receive the apology.

Your suggestion is not the same issue as a published piece of journalism that is phrased in the manner of the Edelstein quote. If you are going to be a paid writer for a major newspaper or journal you need to do your homework. In this instance, a little research would have simply solved his problem.
