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:

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.
