What I loved most about "Thin Red Line" was the melanesian choires ("God Yu Takem Laef Blong Mi", pity it's so short). This of course can't be credited to Zimmer other than good taste/choice in incorporating it.

Where the hell did all this come from? That's the most complete and abrupt change in conversation I've ever seen. It's almost like someone posted in the wrong thread, and everyone else just went w/ it...

When I first saw this on Wednesday night I was outraged! I was going to post a reply that basically was very nasty and stating my disgust and utter contempt at such an idea.
I decided not to click "Add Reply", for fear that what I had typed in anger would cause me to be banned from Flare.
Shik - I really hope that you don't go naming fictional ships after those poor people, it would be so wrong and immoral.

Wait, wait, it's immoral to name something after a person who died in a tragedy? You people do know what the word MEMORIAL is, right?
Has anyone ever seen loved ones being outraged because someone wishes to name something in honor of their lost one?

Well, heck. Let's not name anything after any innocent victims. Let's tear down the Oklahoma City Bombing Memorial. Let's bomb the Concentration Camps sites in Germany and blast the Holocaust Museums out of existence. Let's forget about the people of the Titanic, and to hell with anything about Apollo 1 and Challenger. After all, it's "immoral," "reprensible," "wrong," "dishonorable," and "trivializing the victims" to do monuments, tributes, and memorial namings.
Really, guys, if you're going to stand on "morality" and "ethics" to defend your position, please make sure to post your logical deductions, arguments, and conclusions. Or at least have a grasp of the words you are using.
Now, back to film music. I think the score to Mr. Holland's Opus could have been better. The focus of the movie was Mr. Holland's symphony, and all we got a three minute little thing. Even in the classical period, symphonies lasted at least half an hour. The composer should have beefed that up.

Yeah, we have to destroy everything that was named after Abraham Lincoln... he was murdered, after all.
And all those schools named after JFK and RFK and MLK, and the JFK aircraft carrier (somebody already did that one)
oh, and Megan's Law!

But the ships are going to be named in the 23rd or 24th centuries. By then the wounds will ~(at least in Trek) have healed. I do not see how it is dishonourable to name ships after people who have died in tragedies such as this just because it isn't that long since it happened. Also it shows that people at this time still remember; the ships do not have to be warships, this is Starfleet.
