Disappointingly, there is no available score for 3:10, or there wasn't last time I checked. Generally if there isn't one at this point, there's not going to be one, at least an officially available one (although notable scores such as The Stepford Wives eventually emerge through various promotional means, even if never officially available
( ... )
I checked amazon for the score, and there wasn't one there, but then I checked iTunes today on a whim and there seems to be one available there. But I'm reluctant to get that one b/c my ipod is dead and the mp3 player I use to play music won't play m4p, just m4a. And that whole thing with burning onto a CD and then reripping has for some reason never worked for me, so I'm holding back on the score for the moment. But it's definitely up on itunes
( ... )
What! Well, this is why I have my iTunes gift card. I thought I would never use it...but I guess I will after all.
But yeah, I think that's what it was, and it all goes back to that thing about not doing favors for anybody that Ben said earlier, which just goes to show that even the best men and the worst men in that movie can eat their words. I do really like that about it; the entire situation is, of course, what makes it so goddamn good, and the horse thing does refrain from making it out of character, but it's properly ambiguous so you never really know.
I actually heard an interesting theory, and I discussed this with enough people to establish that the stronger argument is definitely the one against it (although maybe I say that because it's what I think), that Ben Wade's last words in the movie are not "no" but "now." Anyway, it was cool to think about for a while.
Did you get a hold of the soundtrack? I'm down to one last song on my gift card. It's driving me crazy how .m4p songs won't play in anything else other than an iPod. And WHY isn't it going up on Amazon?! b/c Amazon just got their new music player thing in place where it's copyright free, I think.
Oh, wow, yeah that is really cool to think about. Except his expression and the urgency of his gestures contradicts him saying "Now" if I recall. Nonetheless, that was an interesting theory.
I'm curious though, having not seen many westerns myself I can't say, but how do you think 3:10 compares in the western genre? I've been wondering about this b/c a person I saw it with said it wasn't very traditionally western, whereas I thought it was but I couldn't argue why.
