I got the Morricone book for Christmas from Mrs. Cusser

Is it just me or are there a bunch of weird posts on this board by one time posters who also likely posted spam links?
Should I ban them all?

Yes

[noodles_leone]

No. But I like that inclusion.

Yep nice one. I always wonder whether it was something Leone and Morricone liked as a "quiet suspens before the music rises" or a little nod to the previous film.

Yes

just banned them

(a couple weird posts were made by first-time users who did not post links; I left them alone for now. But the ones who posted links, which obviously are spam, are gone.)

We have not had any spam for quite a while, as we have a good scheme to prevent that now. It's strange how a bunch of spammers suddenly happened to wind up on this one thread

Why can't it be both?

Why can't it be both?

Theoretically, it could be. For me I don't think it works: I experience it as a nod to FAFDM, which kinds of get me out of the moment ("the moment" was a huge tension the first couple of times I saw the movie, now it's a big abstract emotion that has more to do with listening to music than to follow a story) because it reminds me i'm watching a movie and that there is a similar one on my DVD/BD shelf.
