I just want everyone to know I did my duty and finally bought the MIB II and Spiderman score CD’s, thus encouraging the future manufacture of other works by Elfman, and soundtrack composers in general.
MIB II is the first album I’ve ever met where the studio logo is included as its own track.
“MIB II is the first album I’ve ever met where the studio logo is included as its own track.”
Just imagine : a logo track for Edward…
‘(Star Wars CDs have the Twentieth Century Fox logo.
But I love Danny’s tendancy to score over the logos.
Oh, yes, logo scoring has been a part of things like “Flubber” and “Sleepy Hollow,” but I was surprised this one had its own track, since it is a totally separate composition all to itself in MIB II.
Yes, mellow, I would enjoy having those few seconds of wistful music playing over the 20th Century Fox logo on Edward Scissorhands.
And you’ll always get this (scoring over the logo) in a Burton/Elfman film. I don’t remember which movie it is, but one of Burton’s on DVD has commentary in which he says, as the logo appears and the music plays, something like: “I always like Danny to start his music during this part. It helps bring out the mood of the movie right at the first second.”
Nit-picky detail: “Planet of the Apes” began with the standard 20th Century fanfare. Sorry.
But yes, I like it when a movie kicks right in with Elfman’s music! Gets me going.
D’oh!
Well, hmm… which one was it where Burton said that, then? Something before POTA, I guess…
I know the POTA DVD has Elfman saying “I BEGGED Tim to do an opening credits scene…” But I didn’t have time to listen to any Burton comment…and I haven’t seen any other DVD’s. (I know, I’m the last hopeless idiot in America who doesn’t own a DVD player.) I’m sure your remembrance of Burton’s quote is correct — it’s just a matter of which DVD he said it on.
