MTV knows who is scoring McG's TERMINATOR: SALVATION!!!

Ahoy, squirts! Quint here. MTV has spoken with one Mr. Danny Elfman who revealed he's scoring the upcoming TERMINATOR: SALVATION. Now, I'm no Elfman hater... In fact, I've been listening to his Burton work a lot recently, especially BEETLEJUICE. His BATMAN score, PEE-WEE score, NIGHTMARE BEFORE CHRISTMAS score and music and BEETLEJUICE score are all in my favorites list, but his more recent stuff hasn't impressed me too much. Stuff like his SPIDER-MAN score is fine, but not epic, if you know what I mean? I'm sad there's no great SPIDER-MAN theme you walk out humming, which is what I think Elfman used to do very well. Brad Feidel's original Terminator score is simple and very '80s, but iconic and memorable. His T2 score is much less dated, but kept the iconic themes and the metal on metal clanging that I love so much. I don't want Elfman to just repeat Feidel's great original scores, but I hope he can capture that iconic and epic feeling. What do you folks think?
