Once Upon A Time In Hollywood - The 9th film from Quentin Tarantino

[Gordon Cole]

C'mon, it's Tarantino. You know you're probably gonna see this, Hollywood hate-boners be damned.

Ninja'd me there @Sexy Times Hitler

But yeah, I'll be getting advance tickets for this.

While I like his movies, I'm not sure about this one. I'd safely say I am on the fence about this one.

 

[Marco Fucko]

Hateful Eight and Django were enjoyable enough, I might go see this. If it turns out Tarantino's lost his touch then oh well, it happens to the best of them.

 

[Silence of the Troons]

I hope it's more like Jackie Brown and less like his later works. But that would probably be too much to hope for

This. I feel like Jackie Brown is the only Tarantino movie that had enough substance to warrant a second viewing.

 

[The Cunting Death]

I have a love/hate relationship with Tarantino

Jackie Brown, Pulp Fiction, and parts of Django were great, but everything else was just meh.
His fans are insufferable and the legacy he has in film tends to inspire really subpar films.
But I also admire his enthusiasm for film alot.

This looks alright imo, so I might check it out.

I had never heard of Jackie Brown until I was in my mid-20s because everyone that introduced me to Tarantino was all about Pulp Fiction and Kill Bill. A coworker lended me their copy and I was amazed at how good it was and yet I never hear anyone talk about it. I think outside of my coworker, my dad, and this thread is the only time I’ve ever seen/heard it mentioned.

My favorite of his was Reservoir Dogs right behind Pulp Fiction. I also didn't mind Django Unchained and The Hateful Eight. Since you mentioned it and I have never heard much about Jackie Brown, but might check it out. Also, didn't he say his 8th or 9th movie would be his last?

 

[The Cunting Death]

Hateful Eight was boring as fuck except the finale.

 

[AnAspieWithAVengeance]

Everything up to Kill Bill was good, and then he jumped off a cliff. I also think he is severely responsible for the celebization of filmmakers due to his oversized ego and narcissism towards criticism.

Jackie Brown hands down his best work
big shoutout to Elmore Leonard the writer of the original book that the movie is based out of
a lot of his books characters sound like Tarantino characters

 

[Scratch This Nut]

Gross Lena Dunham is in this.

While I disagree, I think of the lack of action was to build the tension in a movie that sort of amounted to a extreme and bloody Western game of Clue.

It wasn't the lack of action that I didn't like
It was more that I didn't care for the characters

Was it because they were all basically cunts? The only character I liked was Tim Roth's character, Oswaldo Mobray/English Pete Hicox. I am glad Tarantino Alumni did make a return in this movie, however.

New trailer's out:

New trailer's out:

Tarantino trailer + Neil Diamond's "Brother Love's Traveling Salvation Show" + Charles Manson = Best Movie of the Year.

This trailer comes out on the heels of the release of some feaux posters. I love these, because they represent a washed up American Western actor slumming it in Italian Spaghetti Westerns and poliziotteschi films.

I thought it was really good. I read parts of a review on RT that said it was one of Tarantino's worst, and then I saw a 4/4 on Roger Ebert as I was reading another review (Roger Ebert is very biased, but usually has taste I agree with). So my expectations going in were 'hopeful'.

Midway through the second act, I was in bliss. This felt like Tarantino was doing something that felt less like a genre flick, which I don't think he's done since Jackie Brown. I was so happy to be experiencing it, and it is a great experience of a movie.
But the 3rd act turns into a pretty straightforward, revenge flick that is over as soon as the action starts.

I'd really love to see a director's cut or, at least, much more of this movie. They succeed in having the Manson family come off as absolutely sinister, but we only get to see a couple minutes of Charlie himself. I wish Tarantino ditched the 3 act thing, and given the Manson family their own act.

Overall it is kino, which he hasn't done in a while imo. It's given me a renewed faith in Tarantino. This movie felt like he was experimenting more than he has in a while, and I liked it.

My mom wants to see it.
