THEME: phrases containing musical terms [lyre, oboe, bass(ist)]
GOOD ONES: Film score component {& theme} INCIDENTAL MUSIC [the "music" is incidental to the phrase]
Trigger guide REIN [Lone Ranger's horse was Trigger]
BTW: SALLE as a definition of room is not good, but the explorer La Salle or the college would work.
Newbie TYRO ["newbie" is too cutesy but perhaps "tyro" or "neophyte" is too pedantic. What would be said, then, of abecedarian?]
Double exposures? STUNTS [I just got it: stunt doubles are exposed when being filmed --- but it's too far afield for me.]
Eye problem STYE [used often, but I see them as eyelid problems; the eyes are fine]
Caravel mover SAIL [not the way my sailboat worked; the wind moved the boat --- I suspect that was so in Columbus' time]
Since AMONG came from a poem, how about LET BE as in "Let be be finale of seem; the only emperor is the emperor of ice cream" [think that's exact]
Horror movie character GHOUL [why are ghoul movies coming down in droves from the Hollywood hills (so to speak) and why are they so popular?]
RATING:
Three grins = Loved it; Two grins = Enjoyed it; One grin = A bit bland for my taste; One teardrop = Not much fun
