yes please stop him from churning out generic..boombastic scores for movies based on comic books..I just saw Spiderman and I kept thinking..Batman..Darkman...Men In Black...I am pretty sure this factor is also homogenising the movie makers brain into a mush and everyone of these movies is ticking to the same cliched plot clocks....
I think the only exception has been Blade..secret?...no Danny Flfman..
trust me guys I am on to something.. sign this petition...

Danny Elfman fucking rocks. His score for Spiderman was nothing spectacular though in comparison with his other work, nothing really shot out at me like it did with his Tim Burton scores.
What exactly are you against, poorly plotted hollywood blockbusters based on comic books? Danny Elfman's music? Danny Elfman's music scoring poorly plotted hollywood blockbusters based on comic books? Because its so good it should be used elsewhere? Or because you don't think he should support these movies?

ba! danny elfman rocks the casbah and you know it. ya his soundtracks sound the same, but they are all good (that's what i like to call the "danny elfman touch"). he uses a lot of the same themse or whatever, big deal, it's still good.
besides, he did the simpsons theme. so ya ...

this is bullshit, let elfman be elfman. he churns out so many amazing scores, if you don't like one don't buy the soundtrack or video/dvd.

Danny Elfman's scores all exude the same moods and hence you interpret the contents it's wrapped around according to the same tired old emotional triggers it..um triggers...it was hard to make distinction b/w the flow of Spiderman from the flow of Batman..which is wrong..and diservice to the vast contrasts in between the mythologies..all the effort that went into creating vastly distinct locales and production design..(gothic art deco of Batman versus Sleek and Gleaming Skyscrappers..of Spiderman)
and titsworth I have a right to moan at Elfman spoiling the comic based movie content for me..I have been reading the comics a lot longer than he has been scoring them..
bye

you have a point about his scores being overly formulaic, whereas a john williams or hans zimmer cater more to the story. but sometimes elfman's scores are very appropriate, eg: nightmare before christmas, mars attacks!, planet of the apes (i love the deconstructed theme, it's such a bass rattler).

I enjoy Danny Elfman. Keep in mind that when he's doing a film score, he's doing a job. Also think of the target audience of the picture and what they expect and what will please them. These are factors that he might influence his composing for a film. He's really a brilliant musician.

Haven't any of you seen Forbidden Zone? It's the first movie that Danny Elfman did the music for. He also stars as the devil himself.
The movie itself is indescribable, but I can tell you that Herve Villechaize stars as the king of the forbidden zone.

I've never seen the guy in person, but I assume he's really short and elfish. An ELF-MAN, if you will. Pointy ears straight outta Lord of the Rings.
