It’s not the most original Elfman score, but it works for the film. That being said, I got a kick out of The Munchkin Song. I’m always thrilled when Elfman does a song for a movie.
I loved the score. Elfman recycles a lot of material but he does a great job of giving it a lot of new variations. I really loved the use of the electric guitar.
Facebook is essential. Tumblr, since it’s a blog, could help with your mini-reviews. And, YouTube rarely deletes videos these days. They just put an ad on it and make money from it. But if your video is entirely original and popular, they’re pay YOU to place advertisement. Consider that.

Recently, I read that Danny was still working on the Dark Shadows score. I guess he must be multi-tasking.
A wordpress site sounds like a good idea as long as the forums remain open. But in the meantime, consider the following:
– Set-up a Facebook fan page
– Get a Twitter account just for the site.
– Launch a YouTube channel
– Open a Tumblr blog
– Email all the members and keep them updated on the site’s progress.The first thing you should do is make sure everyone is aware of the new domain. If it wasn’t for your Twitter account, I never would have found this place. Secondly, since you usually get advance copies of Danny’s new albums, make video reviews for YouTube and post them on Facebook and Twitter and include links to the site. If that doesn’t work, consider expanding the site to include other composers. This place is, more or less, dead when there isn’t news on Danny and his movies.
Michael Giacchino’s score for “Mission: Impossible 4” is amazing. The best the franchise has had since Elfman’s original in 1996.
The sad thing is that when it comes to music, the Oscars get lazy and usually only nominate those scores associated with the awards-friendly films. So, as far as nominations are concerned, I’m thinking John Williams for “War Horse”, Howard Shore for “Hugo”, and Harry Escot for “Shame”. As for the remaining two spots, I’m not sure yet. I’m still waiting for Trent Reznor’s score to “Girl with the Dragon Tattoo.” And, if I recall correctly, didn’t Hans Zimmer get nominated for Sherlock Holmes two years ago? So, who knows, maybe he’ll pull off another nomination.
“The Muppets” soundtrack is amazing. “Life’s a Happy Song” and “Man or Muppet” are locks for Oscar nominations.
