Teddy KGB Posted August 17, 2019 Author Share Posted August 17, 2019 (edited) Nevermind. The lady’s a psycho who has to show up 30 mins before movie starts or we can’t go. 20 mins of previews are to follow ! Rescheduled ?

apuszczalowski Posted August 18, 2019 Share Posted August 18, 2019 I think most reviews have been favorable for it, aside from Bruce Lee's daughter and his training partner who seem to hate it because of how they portrayed him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Royale with Cheese Posted August 19, 2019 Share Posted August 19, 2019 I’m the biggest Tarantino fan and I didn’t not like this movie. It’s very slow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rico Posted August 19, 2019 Share Posted August 19, 2019 I've seen it 3x now. The 1st time I was a little disappointed cause I expected more Charlie & I didn't expect the ending, but now I love it. Yeah it's slow but I find it to be very rewatchable, so many great scenes and great acting, especially Brad Pitt and most especially Leo. "Those f'n hippies!" YMMV, very polarizing. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I watched a QT marathon at home the week leading up to this (skipping Death Proof). It was the first time after one-and-done theater viewings that I saw IB & Hateful 8, and yeah, they were both better than I remembered. I'd put OUATIH above them & Django, but below his run from Reservoir Dogs thru the Kill Bills. Edited August 19, 2019 by Rico 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Often I spend the first viewing of a QT movie trying to understand WTF is happening and it's not till the 2d or 3d viewing that I really dig it. Inglorious Bastards was in that category for sure, as were the Kill Bill movies. I need to watch the H8 again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dpberr Posted August 19, 2019 Share Posted August 19, 2019 The Bruce Lee part was hilarious (IMO). I don't know why his daughter is upset. What I appreciate most, especially in retrospect, is the attention to the dialogue in his movies. So many memorable lines. I'm disappointed that we will never have a Winston Wolff or a Vega brothers movie. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Real Buffalo Joe Posted August 19, 2019 Share Posted August 19, 2019 I thought it was fantastic. Helps when you go in with at least a little bit of knowledge about the Manson family. So many subplots and clips from movies/TV shows the main character acted in that are just plain fun. The gratuitous violence that Tarentino is known for really doesn't come in until the end, except a few fist fight scenes, but totally worth it.

He wrote it but Tony Scott directed it. ***very minor spoilers follow*** What Hollywood did with Manson was great. Kept me as a viewer really nervous through the movie about where that plot line was headed. The Bruce Lee scene was obviously just blowing up some statements for fun. Everyone take a deep breath. Lots of great cameos but I particularly enjoyed the short moment of Uma Thurman’s daughter Maya Hawke (for those not familiar with her work on Stranger Things, in this flick, she took off in the getaway car.)

Now Kareem Abdul Jabbar is upset with it. They all seem to be offended because they said he was never how he was portrayed in the movie and that it tarnishes his reputation and is against what he stood for. They say he never said he could beat Ali (Tarantino says he did) because he loved and respected Ali, and that he would never challenge people to a fight even though people always wanted to fight him.bthey say he was very respectful of stunt men and the lower rung people on the movie set which they claim his portrayal was the complete opposite, a cocky guy who would fight everyone and felt superior to those below him. If your opinion of a real person changes because of a Tarantino film, you probably didn't know them that well anyway because his movies may be spun off of real people or events, but they aren't biographical or documentaries. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I loved the movie. It's as much a love letter to TV and Movies of the early '70s as it is a reimagining of the Manson murders. Speaking of Manson, for those of you wishing he had gotten more screen time, the same actor that played him is playing him as a featured part of the new season of Mindhunter. https://screenrant.com/charles-manson-actor-damon-herriman-mindhunter-once-hollywood/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Teddy KGB Posted August 20, 2019 Author Share Posted August 20, 2019 (edited) Pretty meh until Cliff Booth lit up that acid cigarette Then it was ON LIKE DONKEY KONG ! Cliff and Brandy rule. Couldve cut out every scene with Margot Robbie tbh. She’s all smoke but the Polanski storyline was a bore. 4 hours ago, ChevyVanMiller said: I loved the movie.

Correct order is Pulp Fiction, Inglourious Basterds, Reservior Dogs, Django Unchained, KB 2, KB 1, The Hateful 8, Jackie Brown, Death Proof.
