"From Pee-Wee's Big Adventure to Alice in Wonderland, composer Danny Elfman discusses his 25-year collaboration with director Tim Burton. Their legendary partnership includes such films as Beetle Juice, Batman, Edward Scissorhands, Nightmare Before Christmas, and Charlie and the Chocolate Factory. Joining Mr. Elfman will be Warner Brothers Records executives to announce their plans to celebrate this quarter-century milestone."
Hmm. Danny Elfman + Warner Bros. Recrds executive + announcement plans = new soundtrack releases?
So...this Thursday, right? Here's a bump hoping that people lucky enough to attend will let us know what the 'plans to celebrate' Danny Elfman/Tim Burton's 25th will entail. Will this be above and beyond the awesome news that LaLaLand plans to release his two Batman scores...?

It's fun to see him talk freely in such a forum, and Bond does a fine job as the interviewer (although his questions are very famililar to Elfman fans, they may not be to the ComiCon crowd). HOWEVER, I'm always embarassed by rabid fan behaviour, as evidenced here through clapping by the sheer mention of titles, showers of adulation ("Danny, you're a genius!") or silly questions. That guy ending his question by humming the Simpsons theme out loud literally made me cringe in my seat. Perhaps more even than Elfman himself.
Let me ask you something, Josh -- You ever danced with the devil in the pale moon light?

Here's something I noticed when watching the movie way too many times (in whole or in part) as an usher at the late, lamented U.A. Meadowbrook in 1989:
Whoever said the Genius thing then the next guy saying I agree was pretty damn funny, we all laughed and while I was holding my HD flip camera my hands shook a tad since I was laughing!! he he hee
lucky you, DMD. SDCC sounds like a zoo how does anyone stand to be at such a crowded con, LOL
Since I love people and I live in one SMALL WHITE TRASH town, to get out where there are lots of people is fun as hell. Heck, I could have walked the convention every single day wed-sunday and I still would have had a blast as I know what's waiting on me in Indiana...NOTHING.
Also, you never know who you will run into there. Thursday is the least busy day to go. I got in Wednesday because of my professional pass and even that few hours it was open was busy busy. It's still a lot of fun!!!
Just out of curiosity, was anyone able to snag La-La's new Batman CD and then get Elfman to sign it after his panel? Talk about the ultimate do-it-yourself Comic Con souvenir!

I could have, but my two favorites by him were Edward Scissorhands and Milk, I also had in my bag Big Fish, but had left Batman at the hotel, guess I could have, but I really wanted the other two.
He was very nice to sign and I'm VERY happy the Comic Con folks didn't say NO, NO can't sign.I think when several hundred people rush the stage, it's hard to say NO, luckily they let him sign a few. I mean if I was in his shoes, I would have been more than happy to sign stuff.

I met him up at the Sundance film festival one year and he really is a very nice and average guy. Was with my friend and he even asked us what movies we saw so far. And yes..I do live in Utah
I don't get it, was that supposed to be secret scenes? I've seen them many times.
Thank you for responding!
I'm sorry I wasn't more specific.
What I meant was that in the flashback scene, the young Jack Nicholson look-a-like asks: "You ever dance with the devil BY the pale moonlight?"
In the modern-day scene at Vicki's apartment, Nicholson himself asks: "You ever dance with the devil IN the pale moonlight?"
One says "by." The other says "in."
--Not a big deal, obviously, and easy to explain by fanboy logic. The flashback isn't meant to be what literally happened, after all, but rather a very personal, subjective Bruce Wayne memory of it. For all we know, young Jack said "in the pale moonlight," all along, and Bruce simply mis-remembered it later in life, right?
I'm just curious whether this discrepancy exists in the original screenplay too.
Also . . . what exactly were they paying their script continuity people in London in 1988?

Maybe it was intentionally there to cast doubt on the legitimacy of his memory? :-P
