ANSWERED: Long unecessary credits added to Soundtrack sections
I'm not keeping any kind of track, mind you, but I've found multiple times now that people are misusing the Soundtracks section on titles.
What does a composer do? A composer creates original music for the project they are hired to score. We know this. But apparently somebody out there doesn't get it, or multiple people out there don't get it and instead of the composer credit sufficing, they are submitting the name of each and every single original score cue a composer wrote for a project. Case in point:
http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0253754/soundtrack
Apparently people think IMDb is some kind of iTunes tracklisting thing where each and every title on a score CD needs to be added to IMDb. That's what the composer credit is for. For goodness sakes, films like "Lord of the Rings" could have a hundred cues or more per film -- somebody is creating a hell of a large mess on IMDb.
Perhaps the worst thing about this is what it does to a composer's IMDb page. Since I'm on a Trek linking role here (not that this is limited to Star Trek), take a look at Jerry Goldsmith's IMDb page, specifically the Soundtrack section:
http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0000025/reference#soundtrack
All those individule original score cues added to multiple films from Trek films to "Poltergeist" (not counting legitimate submissions like tracked music), has stretched his page to needlessly long lengths.
Also, take a television series, for example. Where does the theme music credit go? In the Music Department credits, with usually the appropriate: composer: theme music
But somebody, or multiple people, out there is submitting the theme music credit to each and every episode page of some TV series, in the Soundtrack section. Case in point:
http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0708793/soundtrack
It's even worse in the above section -- there's an entry for both the opening and closing credits. Redundant on top of wrongly used.
Yes, I could make the appropriate deletion submissions, but two things:
1. It's impossible for me to find every palce on IMDb where this has occured -- at that point I might as well be a paid staff member.
2. The person or persons doing this, need to be found out and corrected, so this stops.
