The Good, The Bad & The Spronk

[aquaphase]

So, I was watching The Good, The Bad & The Ugly this morning (one of the best movies of all times), and something struck me as funny as Tuco was about to kill "Blondie" in the desert. I thought I had recognized the music when they had first come across the Union camp before they blew up the bridge (go watch this movie if you have no idea what I'm talking about), but this cinches it. The Ennico Morricone music for the Bill Carson segments of this film ("The Strong", "The Carriage of the Spirits") is the same music the Spronk used to use to come out on stage to. "The Strong" is a better example of the song, but "The Carriage of the Spirits" has the better placement in the film. The pieces were always familiar to me, having seen all the Eastwood Spaghetti Westerns about a bajillion times as a child, but I'd never put the two together. My guess is that the use was unintentional, but funny as all hell.

Netflixed.

I haven't watched that in a good ten years or so. And I don't think I've ever watched it without it being on TV with commercials.

Gonna give it another go and introduce the boy to some good film.

About a week before I left I watched The Good, the Bad and the Ugly with my dad. That was some solid male bonding to one of the best film experiences ever.

<------ also.
