My heart skipped a beat when I saw “Planet of the Apes” listed, and then saw that it was the original Jerry Goldsmith score, and decided that that score was awesome too.

I never said that Morricone was better than Elfman, no, I’ll always stay loyal to Elfman. But the two men are different — from different generations of filmscoring, and different “voices” of their own.
You were right to post that, and what you said was true, you were providiing info to people that did not know it, which is probably quite a few, the ohter posts that have discussed this before are quite old, and no one should be expected to read old posts. I’m the only one at fault for being such a jerk, especially someone new. I, and everyone else here, I’m sure, would love for you to stay.
Yeah, Elfman has borrowed ideas before. At the Elfmanzone it talks about one unreleased cue in the Edward Scissorhands score. I’ts the cue played when the housewives are running around the neighborhood gossiping. It sounds like and accordion version of Phantom of the Opera.
I’m not sure if this has been mentioned in any of the previous lists above, but Elmer Bernstein’s score for The Age of Innocence was pure genius.
Yes, you’re right, Horner has ripped off Elfman and other composers (including himslef) quite often. I guess I just can’t imagine that being a reason that Danny wouldn’ t have enough respect to be able talk to the man and not insult him. Yeah, he might not be freinds with him, I can’t see him joking with Horner the way he jokes with Zimmer. But it always seemed to be the Horner fans at the Elfman fan’s throats and vice-versa and not Elfman and Horner at each other’s throats. Maybe I should listen to more Horner so I can have a better understanding of how unorigional he is, I havent heard a whole lot of his stuff.
I’m sorry. I was a little annoyed at your post because the why that you said was uncertain in your info is what this thread was about to begin with – we already knew about the falling out between Elfman and Burton. But that’s still not ok, saying what I said. Your grammar in the beginning just reminded me of a troll who shows up occasionally on this board and whos grammar is far worse than yours, it sounds like another language poorly translated into English. Sorry again. I don’t want to be making an enemy out of anybody.
~Ooshmaster, who seems to be f—king up a lot lately.
I’m glad that Elfman and Zimmer are freinds. I suspect that it’s the same with Horner, If he and Danny are enemies, it’s probably because the fans set them up to be.
Ennio Morricone. He’s not a ‘they’ , he’s an absolute god in the world of film scores. Pick up the soundtrack to “The Mission” now.
Um, yeah, I was going to nitpick on the grammar, but, uh… No. I’m going to pretend that you never wrote that.

I too think Clausen should score it, but like Knight, i think Danny should write the main titles, along with maybe one or two other cues.
