Sharkissimo 1,973 Posted July 10, 2018 Share Posted July 10, 2018 Since Elfman's condescending dismal of Zimmer and Junkie XL's Batman thenes, my opinion on him has soured.

Gruesome Son of a Bitch 6,488 Posted July 11, 2018 Share Posted July 11, 2018 It's probably the single biggest disappointment from one of these composers. It fails on every level. He couldn't even make use of his own Batman theme in a way that I actually believe he composed it. I now question everything I ever knew. Don't get me started on that nonsense interview he did about the score. Zimmer and Junkie delivered better music for Christ's sake! EVERYONE did!

Holko 9,516 Posted July 11, 2018 Share Posted July 11, 2018 With Elfman, it's all in the name: He really was a mischievous little elf with crazy life energy (the top of his career being dubbing 100 Deep Roys)- until the magic of elves died out in the world, of course. Many adore his work in Nightmare before Christmas, and I have to admit that skeleton had more life in him than Danny's film carreer in the last 10 years. What's this? What's this? There's blandness everywhere What's this? There's boredom in the air What's this? What's this? There's something very wrong What's this? No people humming songs What's this? I can't believe my ears I must be dreaming Wake up, Danny this isn't fair What's this? Oh, Danny, dear where have you been? So near, so far or in between (jobs)? Compose some freaky shit again Danny, Danny, please, Danny! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Holko 9,516 Posted July 11, 2018 Share Posted July 11, 2018 Together with his life partner Timmy (who's also in a relationship with professional drunk idiot Depp) he's gotten softer than the corpse bride's rotting tissue.
