[net.movies] A *REALLY* lazy soundtrack composer

After all those jibes about John Williams' and James Horner's music sounding
the same, I've just noticed (after some close comparison) that Nicholas
Rozsa's last three movie soundtracks, for _Time_After_Time_,
_Dead_Man_Don't_Wear_Plaid_, and _Eye_of_the_Needle_ use EXACTLY the same
piece of music, over and over again.  Rozsa was considered a leading light
during the 50s, but it appears he is really running on fumes lately.  He now
gets my "Soundtrack Recycling Award", previously held by Dominic Frontiere
for his use of the _Stunt_Man_ theme for (ugh) "Matt Houston".
