It's official. Japan is way ahead. Junichiro Koizumi, Japan's prime minister, has just selected his favorite Ennio Morricone tracks for a compilation CD! You can buy it from Footlight Records.

It's called My Favorite Ennio Morricone Music Presented by Junichiro Koizumi and it includes music from Once Upon a Time in the West, A Fistful of Dollars, For a Few Dollars More and Once Upon a Time in America, among many other films.

It's curious that The Good, The Bad and The Ugly didn't make the cut, but something from 1979's The Humanoid did.

The Humanoid? When did Koizumi-san see that? Do they watch trashy science-fiction movies in Japanese parliament? Or does he just own the soundtrack album?

And has Berlusconi made an official response to this?

Here in the USA, our elected officials don't have time to watch movies since they're too busy watching us.
