I love when people on here take a highly acclaimed across the world movie, director, actor, etc. and act like it’s just people on this board that praise them for some odd reason
No shite. Like this board is their only contact with the world outside of their home county, so they believe we made a director big. It's just too hard to believe that other people were into a movie that they didn't get.
I'm far from a movie snob and don't love everything QT has done, but I liked this more than most new movies I've seen in the last year or 2.

I thought it was really great, and I went to watch it a second time in the theater. It’s a film that is beautifully shot, and I didn’t want to miss out on any visual details.
Had to give a long primer historical explanation to my Gen Z college aged kids who went to see the movie with me about the Manson family and Sharon Tate, etc.
Here’s a really good (but long) discussion about the movie from a YouTube channel that I like:

It had some good parts but I won’t watch it again. Which is a shame because I bought it before it could be rented.

Yeah i'm looking forward to seeing it. I hope i like it. You never know with these Tarantino movies though.
Take pulp for instance. I liked it well enough, it was good but it was nothing more to me than just a fun movie to watch. It was unique but i wasn't moved by it like so many others were.
But dogs? Holy shite what a movie that was. I was the first of my friends to see it and i begged them to rent it. Back then it went straight to video.
Anyway, whatever. His movies are hit and miss, no one can agree though on which ones hit and which ones miss. I personally think the bills are far and away his best work and jackie brown, basterds and death proof is his worst. Everything else just sorta falls in between. I never understood why eight didn't get better press. That's his most underrated movie.

Not his best ever or anything, but just as good as Bastards and Hateful 8.
Basterds .... wrong.
Hateful 8 .... right.

I was in L.A. this past weekend & we ate at the El Coyote restaurant that is in the movie multiple times. It was incredible being in there knowing not only was the movie filmed there but it was the last place Sharon Tate & the 3 others ate at the night they were murdered. If you are in L.A. I highly suggest going. The food is great too.

Just the fact that it opened in 1931 and is still open is pretty impressive and would make me interested in visiting.

I thought basterds was a pile 'a shite. Dogs was a work of art. Pulp was fun to watch but by no means fantastic and to me, both Bills should hang in the Louvre.
You're certainly entitled to your opinion - film is subjective, of course. However, based on this, I would take all such opinions from you with a box of salt.

I found it to be ok. Fell pretty flat for me

"He didn't miss anything", meaning he doesn't have to watch it twice. If it sucked the first time for him, it'll probably suck the second. That's all.
Nothin' to giggle over. Unless you're just a giggler that is.

Salt or not. His movies stir different opinions.
Django for instance was a pretty shitty movie too, until samuel Jackson entered the picture and then it became worth watching.

All this guy does is post about how Tarantino sucks. I think he searches for threads just to post on them.

Ah yes, the connoisseur of that which he reviles. A truly noble specimen.

Right - since a huge unseen character throughout the film is "The Manson killings" - as we get closer and closer to the time, it builds sort of an organic form of tension that is hard to describe. Folks who are unware of the Manson Family at all don't experience that and that mutes the impact of the entire film
I finally got around to watching this last night. The pending Tate killings looms over the entire movie. My wife won't watch it because she is afraid of how those killings will be portrayed.
When the alternate reality ending happens, there is a sense of relief and good bit of revenge; similar to how I felt when Hitler had his face blown to pieces in Basterds.
I can tell my wife she can now watch the movie without having to worry.

I'll admit it got me more fired up than any other movie has in the past 5 years.

He’s been posting about this movie for months but he still hasn’t seen it. Weird behavior.

Nothing to get bent over. I didn't start the thread. I just posted some comments, that's all. Quentin Tarantino has made some good movies and some bad movies. Not everything he does sucks, only some of it.
