I have to give a bit of credit to a guy I don't know for Kurt's description of John Powell's How to Train Your Dragon soundtrack as "Titanic and Braveheart having a baby." A friend of reader Kyle Theaker's apparently described the track "Romantic Flight" from that soundtrack as being as if "Titanic and Lord of the Rings had a baby in heaven," which somehow made sense to me.

The Scottish accents in the Dragon score called Howard Shore's Braveheart soundtrack to my mind a little more, though. Unsurprisingly, I own the Braveheart soundtrack, and listened to it constantly in college. I'm a fairly big movie-music buff, though, so I own a lot of soundtracks, even for movies I've never seen. John Powell's score for P.S. I Love You is gorgeous, for instance, but the movie looks like an abomination.
