So he confirmed MIIIB, The Hunger Games and new Sam Raimi film (Oz). Pretty tight spring considering that three movies will come out in May.

[Torque]

Wanted and Hellboy II were released about 2 or 3 weeks apart.

[Torque]

Damn. this Zimmer sounds arrogant as hell.

He did Rain Man by himself and as far as I know The Lion King pretty much zimmer-only work.

[Torque]

That Newman’s clap.-)

[Torque]

Making Christmas goes electric and Danny sing in a car are great, haha.

[Torque]

No ‘Face to Face’ from Batman Returns on this box? odd.

[Torque]

This music box is killer! But as for non US customer it’ll cost me about $650-700.

[Torque]

well I recommend start to listen their most popular album – Dead Man’s Party. Its accessible and you totally dig Oingo’s sound.

[Torque]

what? spam commercial?! by the way the inception ost is generic

If Michael Bay produced new Ninja Turtle movie it’ll be Steve Jablonsky for sure.

[Torque]

I believe score out April 26 via itunes. Hope Danny’s stuff will be there.

[Torque]

well Howard Shore (yeah I know! Howard Shore!!) write music for ‘Eclipse’ and that is horrible thing. I can take this if Elfman will sign on this vampire crap (pardon me).

[Torque]

But it still out in 2011, right?

well actually it was after Avril Lavigne’s song in the end credits.

The movie is horrible. You know first 30 minutes was ok.. its interesting, fun but then… blah! Burton should runaway from Disney as far as he could. Danny’s music is the only bright spot.

[Torque]

I lol’d so hardly about both videos but I think college humor version is way better.

“La-la-la-la didly-dildy bam!! bam!!” – 5 stars.

Good examples. Also I must say that all sci-fi movies should be provide by electronic/minimal/ambient score.

[Torque]

here’s my list:

1. Corpse Bride
2. Spiderman
3. Serenada Schizophrana
4. Hulk
5. Charlotte’s Web
6. Hellboy II
7. Charlie and the Chocolate Factory
8. Wanted
9. Terminator Salvation
10. MIB II or Red Dragon (can’t decide)

[Torque]

I’d not say that I heard exactly similarities between Elfman tracks for sure. Just can’t remember for now.
Buuut here comes the totally same moment between Newton Howard’s “Prologue” (Lady in the Water) and Elfman’s “A Dilemma” (Hellboy 2).

[Torque]

If you only knew as lyrics of this song senselessly sounds on Russian))

[Torque]

yeah… ost is very nice
by the way in the russian version of ‘Wanted’ Elfman in titles sings in russian language
this was a surprise
