Has anyone here ever met Danny Elfman?

Stfu

"Stfu?" Wow, that's rude.

Bump!

Have and he's very down to earth and polite, normal. Heard good things about him from people who've worked with him, too.

OP, people here make fun of and disparage ANYONE who's perhaps slightly odd looking... then add tattoos and DLers are gonna be extra catty.

Elfman ain't special in that regard, OP. No need to defend him. Nobody really cares.

OP - Check out the band, Dead Man's Party.

That’s not a band - it’s an album title, R6.

The band’s name is Oingo Boingo.

Clod.

[R7] Its also the title of one of their popular tribute bands.....

Who?

[R9] have you been living in a hole for the past 30-40 years? Guy who's done some of the most legendary movie and TV scores of our time. Simpsons, Batman, Spiderman, every Tim Burton film but one..etc.

I have not. But if I do, I will personally thank him for his work on "Dolores Claiborne", my favorite of his scores (followed by "Batman Returns").

Met him, worked with him, both back in the day and a few years ago, R4 is right. Very decent guy.

Well, it's kinda the point of the thread, r5, so it's fair to say that some of do. I hate to see a good guy get shit on for no reason.

The afore-mentioned Dead Man's Party

[R12] Wow! How'd you get to work with him? You music person?

I was back in the Oingo Boingo days, r13. Now I occasionally work in film.

[R14] Cool!! What kind of stuff did you do, and any neat stories?

Let's have a photo of him! He is now 69 years old. I have Weird Science by him and his band. Played it the other night.

He looks good for his age.

It's his daughter who people hate.

He's a fat-wife groomer.

[quote][[R14]] Cool!! What kind of stuff did you do, and any neat stories?

I am personally not at all interesting, r15. In the 80s I was a roadie, then became a photographer and a kind of promoter, I guess. In film, I am a technician, mostly. I have been to/worked on a lot of fantastic concerts/parties and met a lot of famous people. The Rolling Stones. The Who. The Clash. Grace Jones. Willie Nelson. Prince. David Bowie. Marianne Faithful.

...but honestly, no cool stories.

[quote]He's a fat-wife groomer.

You aren't nearly as funny as you think you are. Whatever she is going through, he is there for her. They are a devoted couple.

One of my favorite scores of his is for the excellent thriller A SIMPLE PLAN.

His score for BLACK BEAUTY is gorgeous.

“Neat?” He’s “neat?”

I’ve been hanging out on Datalounge for years, and I’ve never heard anybody mention, let alone disparage, Danny Elfman.

People bring him up in threads about his wife Bridget Fonda, R23.

They like to joke that her weight gain has something to do with him getting muscly and tattooed - or vice-versa I'm not really sure.

But you know how so many DLers react to tattoos, now add in getting ripped in his 60s and having an odd haircolor and you got DL catnip... as they say.

[R23] In each Bridget Fonda thread...and a few standalone ones. One thread turned into like 600 posts of just accusing him of being a satanist , which he isn't, because of tattoos and he's on the eccentric side.

[R24] I never understood why they have such a weird reaction to tattoos on here? Would make for an interesting psychological study there.

[R20] Have you ever met Bridget yet? And did she hang around back in the Boingo days? And do you like working in your field? I'd think you'd have A LOT of neat stories given all those you've worked with! Who was the most memorable one to work with?

I have. All he wanted to do was stuff my face with food.

[R26] you r Asshoke.

R24, People also unfairly accused him on here as being a satanist and possible wife abuser due to his supposed "creepy" appearance, tattoos, and no anything to base this on. Last February.

The Danny haters and Bridget mockers infuriate me.

Still unsure how he's a Satanist and abuses Bridget. I think people on here have some unhinged beef against redheads...... They sure do about overweight people.

Some frau is obsessed with Bridget Fonda and has created multiple threads. Had to nuke them all.

The ones I’ve seen on his arms look like Maori symbols and patterns. It’s bizarre that anyone would think they’re Satanic.

R33 yup. They're tribal. He's explained them all in intervues.
