I knew nothing about Watchmen until I heard we were promoting the soundtrack. When I looked it up, I knew it wasn't my thing but I was definitely into the soundtrack. I thought it was like X-Men and all the other comic book stuff that I'm not into...but apparently I was wrong. From the folks I've talked to, there seems to be a very devoted (and extremely excited) fan base, a completely oblivious crowd, and then some people who are very against this film for some reason. Like they're offended.
Anyways, I wanted to ask everyone what they're doing to push this album and film in their markets? As I mentioned before comic books and stuff aren't my thing and aside from comic book stores, I don't really know how to reach fans of this film. I know it's more about the music on the soundtrack for us but I was just wondering what y'all were doing.

I watched Pee-Wee's Big Adventure a few days ago and my friend commented on how appropriate the music was for the movie. Pee-Wee was the first major-release that Danny Elfman composed the soundtrack for, although now his name is ubiquitous with film. Since then (1985!), he's done a lot, but nothing as interesting as his latest work.
The soundtrack to the upcoming film Notorious has a little unexpected surprise in its track listing. After songs featuring Lil' Kim and Jay-Z is "The Notorious Theme", written by Elfman. When I think of his past work I think of The Nightmare Before Christmas, The Simpsons Theme, and Oingo Boingo. Never in a million years would I expect to see his name on the soundtrack to a biopic of a legendary rapper.
Does the song work? Yeah, and you'd never know it was him. It's just too bad Biggie isn't rapping over it.
