The incidental scoring is better than Skull, but Skull’s action writing is top notch. Nothing comes close to the complete Jungle Chase.

I think what people miss in these stories is that it’s highly frowned upon in the film industry to speak out against major figures like this. You get blacklisted. Her career would certainly be harmed by this. People saying she is doing it for fame are deeply, deeply detached from reality. She would have no such motive.

If you are outright dismissing the possibility that she might be telling the truth based on nothing except the desire to avoid the cognitive dissonance of an artist you like potentially being a piece of shit, then ya brain broke.

How dare you.

He looks more and more like an old lady. Is he trying to tell us something?

As far as the Greenwood comparison goes, I found myself thinking a lot of There Will Be Blood’s score while watching the film. I’d guess it was temped with it, since so much of the film is wide open western terrain  

Congratulations, you're part of the problem.

There’s really no reason to doubt the story.  She went on to advocate for survivors of abuse and assault within the industry without naming names for years, and there are people she came to at the time with that information.  The fact that Elfman’s camp cops to all of the stuff that is proveable (“Well sure he sent her a picture of what he said was semen in a glass, but it was a joke!”) and vehemently denies everything that isn’t proveable one way or the other certainly stinks of fish.  For me as the outside consumer who is not personally impacted, these things always a bummer, never really a surprise…

Maybe they could make an album with more action oriented pieces like
The Asteroid Field or Hyperspace from TESB The Hunt or Main Theme from The Lost World The Presses Roll from The Post On The Run or Anderton Escapes from Minority Report Or If not an action piece then at last an arrangement of The Force Theme from SW.

I actually really like Voller Returns. It doesn’t stick out as a highlight on first touch, but I’m finding it increasingly rewarding to unpack the mix of brooding motifs sloshing around. The album already underrepresents the Voller material. I want more, not less!

Elfman's my favourite musician, so reading that article this morning was a bit too much for me to fully process.
 
I've just finished reading it a second time, trying my best to pretend this were any other prominent musician, and I honestly have a really bad feeling about it all. What I can't get past is that in 2020, when all of this was still very hush-hush, Abadi founded the Female Composer Safety League for victims of sexual abuse in the music composing industry. 

Whether all the allegations are true or not, you can't deny that the intimate circumstances of their relationship that both parties have verified (i.e. the photoshoots, the martini glass "joke", etc) are all ripe for uncomfortable, predatorial boundary crossing, especially in that kind of power dynamic...and it's not entirely off-brand for Elfman's public persona.
