What happened to awesome soundtracks?

<br>There's a big difference between a simple gathering of pop or rap songs tossed into a movie for no good reason whatsoever and a collection of great songs that fit the time and place of a movie, relate to its scenes and emotions, and even become essential part of that movie's memories for many many people. Whether the songs existed before the movie or not seems immaterial if they help shape and drive that movie. It's like saying an addapted screenplay is bogus.

But that's what it boils down to: [i]A simple gathering of pop or rap songs tossed into a movie for no good reason whatsoever[/i].

An adapted screenplay is made exclusively for the screen. The analogy does not fit.

I think it is best when the songs or music go well with the movie but mmph, soem peopel are lazy now, most things are lazy now even the movies themselves, I'm personally fed-up with the lack of originality in Hollywood, most of it is crap re-makes and easy shite like that![xx(][:(]

Devolution is real

Another soundtrack I recall enjoying was John Carpenters The Thing. The closing theme was classic.
