Morricone's Westerns, Post-Apocalyptic Trash, Jodorowsky, Moebius, More Youtube

Quentin Tarantino keeps copy-pasting old Ennio Morricone themes into his films. L' Arena, which is featured in both Kill Bill 2 and Inglorious Basterds, is from a film called The Mercenary by Sergio Corbucci, starring Fanco Nero and Jack Palance. I don't think its necessarily a bad thing to use old Morricone scores but I think its harder to appreciate them out of the context of the films they where written for.






Il Tramonto (The Sunset) is a piece of music Morricone wrote to introduce Lee Van Cleef in The Good, The Bad And The Ugly, where his character represents 'The Bad' of the title. It only appears once in the film. I think this sequence is one of the greatest introductions to a character ever. Tarantino re-used it in Kill Bill 2.











Kind of been on a post-apocalyptic flex since I watched this film called A Boy And His Dog. Enzo Castellari contributed to this genre with a film called The New Barbarians. He made it under a false name but it looks pretty good.









Another post-apocalyptic film I saw recently is The Last Combat.

Its an old Luc Besson film, kinda wanna see Subway now, I think his early films are all pretty amazing.










Apparently Alejandro Jodorowsky wants to make a post-apocalyptic film... I do hope it happens. He was meant to make Dune but the producer, Dino De Laurentis, fired him and gave the project to David Lynch. I don't think Lynch was ready to make an epic film like Dune. In cinematic terms the finished product is a bit boring but its still well directed by Lynch and the art designs and costumes that Jodorowsky did with Moebius and H. R. Giger are still amazing. Many of them can still be seen in the film.











Moebius is a really unique comic artist. His stuffs a bit psychedelic. You can see his influence in Tron, Blade Runner, the first Alien movie.







Here's a video I found of Jodorowsky talking about his films.

Santa Sangre has to be one of the greatest movies ever made.


These are also quite interesting, about the making of Fulci's Lizard In A Womans Skin...



...and Peter Jackson's Bad Taste.
