Núna verð ég að vera á móti þér. Mér finnst John Williams ekki vera sá besti hann er óneitanlega einn sá vinsælasti í dag, en mér finnst Danny Elfmann vera sá besti. Hann bjó til dæmis til Simpsons lagið. Einnig virðist hann vera í uppáhaldi hjá Tim Burton.

OK, ég skil þig nú ekki alveg, þú þykist vera með blússandi áhuga á kvikmyndatónlist en veist greinilega ekkert um kvikmyndatónlist. Ef þú vissir eitthvað værir þú löngu búinn að droppa John Williams. Ef þú virkilega sért með áhuga fyrir kvikmyndatónlist þá ættir þú fyrst að kynna þér hana. John Williams er eldgamall karl sem semur týpíska kvikmyndatónlist og er fastur í sínum hefðbundnu aðferðum við að semja tónlist. Hann tekur engar áhættur og þar af leiðandi getur manni ekki þótt hann vera svona frábær eins og þér finnst. Ef einhver ástæða hefði verið fyrir því að fara að tala um kvikmyndatónlist á Huga þá hefðir þú átt að tala um Danny Elfman eins og fólkið sem búið er að svara þér.

Ég held að allir geti verið sammála um það að Danny Elfman sé sá eini sanni. Hann tekur áhættur, fer nýjar slóðir og er bara beint út sagt aðalspaðinn…

Hvað segiði um þessi theme lög Pink Panther, James Bond, Rain Man, Alfred Hitchock og Driving Miss Daisy.
