KeymasterFine with me

KeymasterGreat stuff! Sounds like an awesome time was had. I hope Detroit is half as good!

KeymasterAnyone going to the Detroit concert on Oct 30th? Maybe I’ll see you there.

KeymasterI’ve gotta say, I loved the original animated version. I hope this one isn’t loaded with calamitous chases, pop-culture references and fart jokes. Kind of what every DreamWorks animated pic is.
Ryan Keaveney
KeymasterThere are concerts scheduled in Vancouver and Detroit as well. It’s likely I’ll travel to the Motor City for this one… If it’s still there by October!

KeymasterHas to be some kind of tragedy that this piece was never used as a main title.

KeymasterIt’s in my Top 10 favorite Elfman scores, for sure. I wrote a review of the LLL expanded issue but haven’t published it yet… No time

KeymasterI had not heard that, though it would have been an improvement over J Peter Robinson’s servicable score.
Ryan Keaveney
KeymasterI want to go there.

KeymasterThe track “Escape” is pretty fantastic. A bit of Williams mixed in there. Yes, there are moments of John Powell too — but to me this sounds more like an adventure-oriented variation of CHARLOTTE’S WEB.

KeymasterThanks for sharing this!

KeymasterElfman mentioned in a recent interview that he’s working on suites for a concert… Not sure if this was a reference to the UK concert or another one.

KeymasterWhere’s mine?

KeymasterBookbinder, nice to see someone saw that parallel between OZ and AOD. Clearly the preparation montage, hero from another time, etc. Sorry, don’t want to put up any spoilers!
Noticed the main titles were mixed different in the film — not just the narrow stereo field (for obvious reasons), but the first 15 seconds.
The score is OMNIPRESENT. A few unreleased cues I’d like to hear (China Girl scurrying to the Emerald City for one.)
I really enjoyed the film, and would like to go back to these characters and place. It’s nice to see a good fantasy pic that’s got scares, laughs and a bit of offkilter charm. I’m so tired of cynical Michael Bay shit.

ELFMAN Film excerpts and music from Alice in Wonderland and Big FishAfter the tremendous success of the Project’s first year, Danny Elfman’s music returns! This project presents a unique opportunity to hear the famed composer’s brilliant music in concert.

KeymasterSam’s the best.

KeymasterIf you download Disney’s OZ app there’s plenty of continous Elfman score playing in the background.
The score is excellent

Ryan Keaveney
KeymasterNo idea. Maybe he’s referencing RV Williams’ THE 49TH PARALLEL, which also did the same thing?

Ryan Keaveney
KeymasterSo nice of Danny Elfman to quote “O Canada” in the main titles for OZ THE GREAT AND POWERFUL. My fandom has paid off

KeymasterI did not know this site had it’s own Russian Facebook page… HAHA.

I wish I could, unfortunately a trip from Toronto to London is hardly an inexpensive jaunt

KeymasterWell it’s that time of year again, when I begin exploring finally updating the site and getting the ball rolling on regular content.
I’ve decided to make this site a free-time priority in 2013. We’re living in a different world than we were in 1995-96 when this site was started, but I hope MFADP can still be relevant.
One thing that I’ve discovered, unfortunately, is that I won’t be able to port this message board content into an upgraded board format. The database is just not compatible with Buddypress (my preference — so that I can integrate users & interaction throughout the site), and no amount of conversion seems to be doing the trick. If anyone here is a SQL whiz and knows how to take a Phorum DB to PHPBB to another format and out to Buddypress, please let me know.
On a related note, there is tons of hidden spam on this board from a few years ago, so removing that kept me busy last week!
You’ll soon be able to find the site easier, as well, with the first top-level domain in MFADP history. More on that soon

KeymasterDamn, I want to go to this, but was already planning to go to the AYS series concert in April.
