OK pardon this post if it was been posted before, but has anyone noticed the exact same melodic theme in both the movies Spider-Man and Blank Man, watch both and see if i am hallucinating!

A writer at Film Score Monthly wrote something about that when Spider-man came out nearly five years ago. I believe it was in one of the print issues, which I have since disposed of, so I’m afraid I can’t pinpoint the exact issue or writer. I’ve never noticed the similarities myself, but I must admit that the late Miles Goodman provided a score at least one hundred times more enjoyable than the garbage film it is attached to. One of my favorite unreleased scores (which tells a lot about my tastes, I’m afraid.).
But now that it’s been brought up, Serenada Schizophrana does blatantly rip-off large sections of the WHITE CHICKS score. Can’t believe Elfman thought he’d be able to get away with it. I sincerely hope he will show enough restraint in the future to not shamefully rob from the rich Wayans canon.
Sadly….I’m one of the few (or only) that own’s a copy of Blankman. What can I say?……guilty pleasure.
And yes….Blankman’s “sad theme” is VERY similar to Spider-Man’s “responsibility theme”
you wouldn’t notice unless you were really into Elfman’s music.
I NEVER noticed it until “Future Film Composer” made this thread…and I’ve had the movie for years
really GREAT catch, FFC
