Also what THE gently caress who would ever suggest that the music needed to be taken out of the movie, it’s so god drat perfect, the New Age music goes perfectly with KG’s belief that the rock has some mystical powers that makes him play better. Here’s a great talk with Dolby about how they used Atmos for the sound and also Daniel Lopatin talks about the inspiration behind the soundtrack: https://youtu.be/ZSiCsSrnYRc . To me it was as important as anything else in the movie, and such a weird contrast to the typical score you might hear, like the Good Time soundtrack. Even when they do use stuff like that, it’s so perfectly understated, yet intense as hell, ( https://youtu.be/Km4yaD6bBJc ) and it’s pretty remarkable how good Daniel Lopatin is considering he’s only scored Good Time and like did a few tracks for The Bling Ring.

Also re: the ending I think that dude was just really loving mad and had two hours to think about how much he was tired of Howard and how Arnold wasn’t going to get him to stop if everything they’d done to him at that point hadn’t changed his mind, then that was the only logical choice at that point, plus they could just take the jewelery and probably make more money than they would have working for Arnold

Other favorites include the track that plays when Julia is bringing the money into the Mohegan https://youtu.be/z-Man49NhcY
When Julia is walking back to the club, aptly titled ‘gently caress You Howard’ https://youtu.be/YJ2Ni6O6pBs
