Once Upon A Time In The West / Christopher Frayling audio commentary

« on: March 25, 2004, 10:08:53 AM »

watched the audio commentary version last night, Christopher Fraylings comments were riveting, but the next bloke sent me to bed, I might be doing him an injustice, I'll try again sometime, didnt get as far as the other experts but cant help thinking Frayling should have done it all.

Film Four showed Django, kill last night. I've never seen it before, but I was well impressed, not a great storyline, but well shot and well brutal.
Well?

Off-Topic Discussion / The Thing (1982)

I watched The Thing last night (again), and I noticed that Morricone performed the music, for the life of me I'd always thought Carpenter did the music himself as he usually does, it sounds just like his style.
The soundtrack is awesome and creates the mood of the whole film.
Does anyone know how Ennio came to perform the soundtrack instead of Carpenter?
