This film should give Maurice Jarre's career a real shot in the arm.
It's been years since he last scored a film in Hollywood, but I imagine his phone is ringing off the hook with movie producers now.
Erm, you do know he's been dead for 10 years? Or is there a joke here I'm missing?

I'm really looking forward to seeing this, my only visit to a cinema this year. An interesting end title choice, & it's from 1972, but I suppose it's only the pop stuff that has to be 1969 or earlier. I'm staying away from spoilers, I understand that it takes its own sweet time to tell the story, but is full of great scenes, & all that's fine with me.
Tarantino doesn't.give a shit if a a song is " chronologically correct"!
..and rightfully so!

Absolutely. That's what I like about this movie - much of it is a "day in the life" of the characters played by DiCaprio, Pitt, and Robbie. But it's all enthralling; despite the easy-going pace of much of it, OUATIH is still one of the quickest 2hr45m movies I've ever experienced. Maybe the only indulgent bits are the scenes showing the filming of DiCaprio's guest spot on "Lancer." It's hard to get involved with the plot of this TV episode when we're already gripped by the OUATIH storyline - i.e. how will the Manson Family murders play out now that DiCaprio and Pitt's characters are in the mix? However, I think in reviewings I'll be able to relax and enjoy the Lancer stuff on its own merits.

The Bernard Herrmann music that is tracked into the fictional Rick Dalton film "The 14 Fists of McCluskey" is "The Killing" from the rejected "Torn Curtain" score.
Ah, thank you. I was pretty sure it was from Torn Curtain but didn't have time last night to make certain.

This movie could single-handedly make even the dreaded Baby Boomers' question their 1960s acid-flashback memories and make those go sour.
Still, as an "on the spectrum" obsessive of that era's film, tv, and music, I found much to appreciate, but that stuff belongs on a bonus feature segment, not something that should take up as much of this movie's running time as it does.
Awful film, though with game, likable performances from DiCaprio and Pitt.
Laughably and comically bad finale, too. Just embarrassing.
To each their own, I guess. 
I loved the catchy music, the pop culture circa the late-60s/early 70s, the lived-in feel and pace, QT's little indulgences, and the cathartic finale which cleverly calls back to things earlier in the movie.
I agree with you though regarding DiCaprio and Pitt. I especially liked the scene where they were hanging out together with pizza and beer watching "The F.B.I." and snarking about DiCaprio's guest spot appearance.
