After memorizing absolutely every note on the CD (which never takes me too long, mind you…) I felt that if I were to make any death wishes, one of them would be to see whoever played in the score preform the Sleepy Hollow soundtrack. Especially on End Credits, I always get this vision of the orchestra up ontop of the stage (it always happens to be teh stage of the Barbican in London…) while the notes pound out continuously… and of course, I’m sitting there in complete nirvana and passion…
But recently I saw what the orchestra who preformed this was REALLY like.
The sight was absolutely horrible compared to my visions of the orchestra on the Barbican stage!
It was a clammy room filled with people in sweatpants and dirty t-shirts. It’s on the end of the Special Edition Sleepy Hollow, in which they briefly interview Elfman. While he, of course, is good looking teh orchestra is NOT… bah!
Though not to totally diss the fact that these players didn’t look as trim as the LSO preformers; it’s pretty neat how they keep the music in tune with the movie. As the conductor conducts, he is staring at a screen which is playing the scenes. Really neat how they do that.WHERE do they get these players, WHY don’t they list them, and DO THEY EVER actually preform these things? Not that I’ve ever thought they did… but I mean… like, for instance, for the SCHOLA chorus, do they ever get to preform for their parents or something? That’s pretty sad, you know. Hearing this beautiful music and seeing a clutter.
Just wanted to say that anyway… if you want to see the funny side to both Danny and Tim, get the Special Edition Sleepy Hollow. (Yay. Yay.)-Em
“You’re dead drunk.” -Rozalja Filomena Hefner-Schmeiden, Junges and Schilf. . . You know, I’ve never seen or heard the funny side of Tim Burton. Every time I see him, he seems so serious. But, of course, his movies can have hilarious parts in them.
I usually play better in nice comfortable clothes rather than tight uniforms, and others probably do too. So that’s probably why you see a clutter, but hear beautiful music.
I always saw Icabod Crane’s character as a comic one (it is an overtly comic character in the Disney version), and with his Cowardice providing that side he has something that he has to overcome in the film (a flaw will always make your hero more human – heck, even Superman has kryptonite). Not your normal hero (like in all of Burton’s movies – yes even to a lesser extent Planet of the Apes .
It will be interesting to see how Burton handles “Big Fish” because, from what I’ve been able to piece together from people reading the book (don’t worry, I’ll read it), the main character is a uber-man who can do know wrong in his own eyes. I guess Burton will either focus on his son, or how his son sees him (the reality), after showing us the “perfect” version of each story. If Burton plays it right, this is bound to be his next Ed Wood (a film to garner high critical praise that is). After all Ed Wood had nothing but flaws, but he triumphed, in his own way at least.
Nat [that just some late night rambling, and guess what Michael Lewis (if you see this)… I’m listening to James Horner right now. In my CD player:
1. Battle Beyond the Stars
2.Star Trek 2
3.& 4. Krull
5. Star Trek 3that’s right his best years, you can thank me later – just funning with ya]
I found a few ‘funny sides’ of Tim and Danny during my Timbo Flick Marathon. See, I was sick for four days, giving me enough time to watch:
day 1: the end of planet of the apes (suddenly realizing i had to buy the soundtrack. the movie was good for some’tin.) also, batman (i passed out during the joker/batman final confrontation and had a scary dream 8O. )
day 2: beetlejuice (twice. actually, once and another viewing of the main titles.) batman returns (no comment. just shuttup and listen.)
day 3: planet of the apes (rented it on DVD. only watched it with elvin commentary. that’s such a full DVD for such a [euphemism] movie. well, it took a long time to watch all the features i wanted. they definately do the music justice.)
day 4: pee-wee’s big adventure (DVD rental again. watched the movie [hadn’t seen it in.. a decade] watched it with tim and paul, then with elvin structure. [god. how many times do YOU type ‘e-l-f-m-a-n’ every day?]) finally, Ed Wood, (good as usual. though i TRIED to fall asleep during that one.)note that i left out my 4 favorites on this marathon. i just needed to see some of my neglected ones perform.
now on with it. one of the funniest Tims is probably when he’s talking with paul on pee-wee’s commentary. he just seems more comfortable talking when he’s with a friend. the funny dann-o was probably the ‘planet of the apes’ commentary. the parts with the ‘seven trips to the aeroplane restroom’ and when he gives us an example of his ‘tape recording ramblings’. simply hilarious.
lexi: having her turn at rambling she shall now go eat some dinner… oh wait.. breakfast.
I beg to differ…
I’ve never seen Timmy be serious. Really, really.If you want to see some funny stuff, go to http://www.sleepyhollowmovie.com and somewhere on the site are interviews of Timmy and the cast. Timmy is absolutely hilarious. (At least I thought so.)
The downside is, Elfman didn’t quite get on the site.-Em
“It’s hard to believe that these boys had mothers at home who worried about them.”Nat…I LOVE YA! Well, to tell you the truth, I don’t actually like those scores that much! LOL! I’d pick Titanic anyday.
