Sim1New Year's Resolution
December 20th 2009 21:25
It’s a bitterly cold and snowy Sunday here, in my neck of the woods. So I figured, the best thing to do is crank up the heating and spend the day on the sofa watching a lot of silly pre-Christmas TV. I have been faced with a lot of film choices today and I ended up watching two in full: ‘The Nightmare Before Christmas’ (love that film!) and ‘The Family Man’ (too lazy to change channels). What I didn’t know, was that both movie’s soundtracks involved a man named Danny Elfman. His name popped up in the credits of both movies you see. And because the soundtrack to Nightmare Before Christmas is pretty awesome, I decided to look up this musical genius named Danny Elfman and from there I decided to make it my New Year’s resolution for 2010, to watch as many Danny Elfman movies as possible. Well, it’s better than vowing to give up smoking, especially as I did that back in 2005.
My new endeavour seemingly will include everything Tim Burton has ever laid hands on, but that’s fine by me.
The benefit to you, of course, is that I will not run out of movies to bitch about and therefore you will have a constant stream of drivel to read on this blog.
But you may be glad to hear, that I have already seen the following Danny-Elfman-soundtrack-movie s: Beetlejuice, Midnight Run, Batman, Edward Scissorhands, Batman Returns, The Nightmare Before Christmas, Mission Impossible, The Family Man, Corpse Bride, Charlotte’s Web and Notorious (review contained within this blog.)
Now that only leaves about another 50, including Milk, Dick Tracy, Sommersby (although I have a feeling I may have seen that one back in 1876), Terminator Salvation and Chicago. Well, it’s 49 films actually, and Alice in Wonderland isn’t out until next year.
In any case, it will keep me out of mischief. It’s good to have goals in life, right?
And with that, all that is left for me to do is wish you a very happy Christmas and in case I don’t see you before- a very happy and prosperous 2010. May it be full of exciting new movies, with our without Danny Elfman music.
