ParticipantActually, I’m not sure what I was thinking…. The string progression in THE SPIRIT is akin to SPIDER-MAN. Not BATMAN. I love that Morricone-type harmonica theme too….
ParticipantI live just down the street from The New Bev. I love going there, but the crowd of regulars suck. I was once panhandled by a squatter that lives behind the theater while he was standing in line to buy tickets…
Ahhhhh… I love L.A.
ParticipantBEETLEJUICE. I would watch and re-watch the opening credits on the VHS cassette tape that my step dad recorded off of Showtime. I loved it. It only took a few years later for me to buy the soundtrack to that, BATMAN and EDWARD SCISSORHANDS. I’ve been a fan of his film scores as long as I can remember liking music.
ParticipantYeah. He even gives the Batman theme kudos on one of the Evil Dead commentaries…!
ParticipantThat sounds great! I’d love to hear him tackle this movie. I for one would love to see him continue working with Timur Bekmambetov. TWILIGHT WATCH anyone? Not likely, but hey…
ParticipantNot Elfman-ish at all. I loved the Mice Circus by the way…
ParticipantHe looks reeeeally uncomfortable there.
ParticipantLet’s hope that John Debney is keeping his calendar free for that summer…
ParticipantI mean the documentary itself, not the music.
ParticipantWhat strikes me is the absence of STANDARD OPERATING PROCEDURE from the best feature length doc category. That said, I would love to see Werner Herzog win the Oscar…
ParticipantI’ve been listening to it a few times and it IS growing on me. But I keep searching for more to grab onto. With only 2 minutes of music, it leaves me cold.
ParticipantWell I’ve heard it. At least the theme from the soundtrack. I’m not overwhelmed but it’s hard to decipher from such a short cue. Any other thoughts on what we hear?
January 16, 2009 at 11:16 pm in reply to: Is It Reasonable To Assume That Danny Elfman Will Score Gus Van Sant’s “Psycho V”? #63183ParticipantI read that he’s adapting Tom Wolfe’s “The Electric Kool-Aid Acid Test” next. Is this a remake of PSYCHO II or something new altogether?
ParticipantWhen did Danny work with McG? On a film called TERMINATOR: SALVATION. We’ve been talking about it. Welcome to the party. This is an utterly disorganized thread. Must be the full moon…
ParticipantWell I doubt that. But hey, don’t let me stop you from compiling your info from indb.
ParticipantIt’s not a point. It’s an additional comment to how gosh-darn neato I think Elfman is. I’m sure you agree…
(insert smart ass emoticon here)
ParticipantTurletaub, Ratner, McG, Burton, Barker, Raimi, Apted, Van Sant, Del Toro, Estevez, De Palma, Beatty, Jared Hess, Ang Lee and on and on… I cannot think of any other composer with such a varied list of filmmakers he’s worked with.
ParticipantI think that in the same interview he indicated that the score was only about 30 minutes.
ParticipantHaha. I think that Ryan had eluded to this months ago. Here I thought it was another film coming out in 2009 called 9 but they spell their’s out “Nine”. It too has a previous Elfman collaborator in the director’s chair – Rob Marshal. Seeing how it appears to be a musical remake of Fellini’s 8 1/2 I thought we’d get some Rota-esque music from Elfman.
I speak for us all when I say that this is far more promising…
ParticipantFinding Neverland was dribble. So was Attonement. So was Brokeback and Babel. The last great one was Shore’s first Lord of The Rings. That music will live on forever…
ParticipantWay to piss on the couch…
ParticipantYeah, I mean, when was the last REALLY good film score honored with an Oscar???
ParticipantHas anyone else out there seen the movie? I just cam back from it tonight. Pretty good. Slightly cliche. Anyone notice any missing music cues? I think maybe the closing credits, otherwise a pretty complete score.
ParticipantIt’s often hard to gage a scores merits outside of the film, but as a whole, I’m really enjoying this soundtrack. I love playing the final four tracks. 2008 was a great year to be an Elfman fan.
November 22, 2008 at 12:02 am in reply to: An ongoing list of Danny Elfman’s Musical Influences. #62898ParticipantMax Steiner. He wrote the liner notes/introduction to the Rhino soundtrack release a few years back. He also mentions him in the PEE WEE’S BIG ADVENTURE commentary if I’m not mistaken.
This is all good and fun, but what does it mean?
