Oingo Boingo at the Movies!
Posted By: Thor J. Haga 8/6/2009 - 2:00 PM
Some of you FSM readers may remember that I did a Danny Elfman Buyer’s Guide in the last-ever print issue of the magazine back in 2005, at least the first part of the guide. The second part was published in the inaugural issue of the online version. This also included a selective list of films with Oingo Boingo songs in them. Oh, and before I forget, I need to make a small correction here: the film 100 GIRLS (2000) is listed as featuring the song “On the Outside”. There is, however, no Boingo whatsoever in this film. Sorry for that; I was duped by imdb.

Does Film Music Exist Outside the Narrative?     Part 1 of 3

By Thor J. Haga

Author's Note: The following article (series) is a translated edition of my term paper from the Institute for Media Studies, University of Oslo, Norway -- hot out of the academic oven from earlier this summer. It is meant to work as a show-down with the ubiquitous notion that "film is book"; that film is mere storytelling -- using film
