law suit?

Rating: Null/10 (8 April 2007)

The score for the glorious Thanksgiving segment is credited to a Nathan Barr, but it's lifted from John Harrison's Creepshow. Harrison's score is very distinctive, and I have to wonder if he's getting credit and the $ he deserves. I remember that Tarantino showed off his cinephile referencing skills in quoting an extraordinarily area Bernard Herrmann cue from Twisted Nerve for Kill Bill Vol. 1, but he gives credit to Herrmann. Not so here. I wonder if that's part of the in-joke for cinema nerds like myself. Are they committing copyright infringement "on purpose" to give the appearance of grindhouse dine and dash production ethics? Certainly, a lot of these exploitation films to which this film plays homage ripped off scores (esp. Herrmann) and their distribution was slim and their audience not clued in. But this ain't no low budget toss off. I'd want my check.
