due maestri di bad-ass!

So apparently Ennio Morricone is going to do be scoring Quentin Tarantino's World War II epic Inglorious Basterds (sic). This is AWESOME news. Aside from Martin Scorsese, Tarantino is my favorite filmmaker when it comes to use of music. Every single film of his has been accompanied by an excellent soundtrack album and now it seems the same will be true of Basterds.

For Kill Bill & Death Proof Tarantino was only able to use pieces of pre-existing Morricone, now he'll be able to get the real shit live and uncut. Hopefully Morricone will deliver some epic and experimental stuff for Quentin. I'm tired of the respectable Ennio. I want the return of THIS Ennio:

Perhaps he could win an Oscar® for reals this time. This could be the movie that shows the Academy® that he didn’t need their pity.

Viva il maestro!
