The whole orchestra playing movie soundtracks thing is jumping the shark…

When you notice the music in a film, it is failing.
Not sure that can be said for all films. In some cases the music is an integral part of the cinematic illusion. Examples of such that come to mind are; Lawrence of Arabia, The Godfather, Master and Commander: The Far Side of the World as well the James Bond movies and Sergio Leone’s budget Spaghetti westerns with Clint Eastwood. The music soundtrack is very much part of the drama and action in all those films.

I think, perhaps, he was referring to hearing music in a film [louder during a live orchestral performance than you normally would just watching the film.]

I specifically excluded the overtures, scene changes, etc… most of what you were referencing. I’m speaking more to the background mood music.
