<p>I think when you consider Leone, you have to think Morricone, too. I don't think his work would have been anywhere near as good as it was (to me, anyway) without the maestro.</p>James Russell commented on 'WAR AND PIECES'tag:typepad.com,2003:6a00d8341cb34453ef00d834461aa653ef2005-04-13T06:47:52Z2007-08-16T21:07:17ZJames Russellhttp://hotbuttereddeath.ubersportingpundit.com/Once Upon A Time In America is the only thing that stops me from entirely dismissing Sergio Leone as an...<p><i>Once Upon A Time In America</i> is the only thing that stops me from entirely dismissing Sergio Leone as an overrated hack. The original release was indeed a disaster of the sort that results when you've got a film running over three and a half hours and you destroy the rather careful structure of that film by hacking out 90 minutes of it. I really can't imagine the film being any shorter than it is.</p>Tony.T commented on 'WAR AND PIECES'tag:typepad.com,2003:6a00d8341cb34453ef00d83446162c53ef2005-04-13T02:48:13Z2007-08-16T21:04:08ZTony.Thttp://aftergrogblog.blogs.com/agb/I've never read SPOW, Brett.

And watching Peter O'Toole do his thing it's easy to see why he has such a huge reputation.</p>Brett Pee commented on 'WAR AND PIECES'tag:typepad.com,2003:6a00d8341cb34453ef00d8347b7ddd69e22005-04-13T02:45:20Z2007-08-16T21:05:37ZBrett PeeFunnily enough i never tire of watching 'Lawrence Of Arabia'.

Lawrence is told by Prince Faisal ' You are one of those desert loving Englishmen. We hate the desert- what does it contain? ' It's a sweeping story, i enjoy it better every time i see it but it never fully explains the enigma that was Colonel Lawrence. As for "Seven Pillars of Wisdom" i gave up after a few pages !! </p>Tony.T commented on 'WAR AND PIECES'tag:typepad.com,2003:6a00d8341cb34453ef00d83446166f53ef2005-04-13T02:44:35Z2007-08-16T21:04:06ZTony.Thttp://aftergrogblog.blogs.com/agb/He's precisely the type of guy Tarentino would rave about, Far.

It's easy to see why he would be a big influence.</p>
<p>I saw him interviewed with Jim Jarmusch once. Not a bad show.</p>
<p>And you should check out the fillum, The American Friend with Bruno Ganz, Dennis Hopper and Fuller in a bit roll.</p>Far Car commented on 'WAR AND PIECES'tag:typepad.com,2003:6a00d8341cb34453ef00d8344b421953ef2005-04-12T05:49:48Z2007-08-16T20:50:01ZFar CarI saw some sort of doco / interview with Quentin Tarantino who was POSITIVELY CREAMING HIS DACKS over the skills...<p>I saw some sort of doco / interview with Quentin Tarantino who was POSITIVELY CREAMING HIS DACKS over the skills of Sam Fuller, and the influence he had on him.</p>
<p>Sam Fuller got interviewed a lot so maybe it was a Sam Fuller doco / interview?!</p>
<p>It made me want to go out and watch his whole back catalog. (But alas, I forgot to maintain the rage and haven't seen one.) <i>White Dog</i> looked interesting, too.<br />
