OT - Jerry Goldsmith dies at 75

[Razuur]

I know this isn't about RPGing, but Jerry Goldsmith's musical movie scores have been at almost all of my fantasy RPG sessions for the past 10 years.

He has done some remarkable scores over the years, and was one of my favorite movie composers.

I will miss him in the movies, and I will miss him in gaming.

Wherever you are Jerry - Thanks.

He won the Oscar for The Omen.

He was my favorite film composer, too. Now I'm bummed.

My favorite of his (that I knew, anyway) was The Mummy.

Our Man Flint
The Twilight Zone

Damn. That man practically made the soundtrack to my childhood. He'll be missed.

Looking at his filmography - wow. He made a lot of scores I am quite familar with - especially the Startrek Scores come to mind...

So, movies and TV will never sound the same again.
I can only repeat:

He'll be missed
