re: Brad Pitt was phenomenal in Once Upon A Time in Hollywood

[quote]Your takes are always shite takes trying, and failing to be edgy. Hollywood, Pulp Fiction, and Jackie Brown are his best movies. Basterds was garbage, so is Django.[/quote]

You offend easily.

Django didn't get good until Jackson entered the picture and Brown was a ridiculous bore.

Pulp was a good novelty act and fun to watch but not great. His most underrated work was Eight. Eight was better than Brown, Basterds, Hollywood and Django combined.

I was just thinking about this two days ago. I got on a kick listening to "You keep me hanging on" by Vanilla Fudge and then had the urge to watch the Manson murder scene and just thought about how great of a job he did with that role.

For being a 3-hour-long movie, it has been one of my most re-watchable. I've watched ten or more times.

Very quotable, too:

"And awaaaay we go"
"The train has left the station"
"Don't cry in front of the Mexicans"

Why do you try to assign me emotions? I'm not offended at all. You gain no advantage by pretending to know my emotional state. I think what you meant to say is that Pulp Fiction was a groundbreaking film. Samuel L. Jackson was the worst part of Django and Jackie Brown is actually a well paced and incredibly acted Leonard Elmore adaptation. Then you come up with an even bigger shite take than the first one you had. Hateful Eight isn't better than four other Tarantino movies combined. That's ridiculous. I like The Hateful Eight, but it's middle of the pack for Quentin.

Well, because you're emotional.

By definition, people who sling insults over something as inconsequential as a movie or TV show are indeed emotional.

Quentin Tarantino is a controversial film maker who in turn makes controversial movies. And you're strangely pissed off over the opinions (shitty or otherwise) of a complete stranger.

They're just movies man. You can relax and be ok with it.

Go ahead and take the last word. You need it.

His acid trip scene was accurate, I hate when movies go over the top with hallucinations and cartoon animals appearing. He slopped the wet dog food out of the can and was just like “Whoa.” That’s a lot more on the nose than little tweety birds showing up and talking to you.


Eat a 10 strip one time and tell me what you see.

LOL, true. My only issue with the film is that "smoking" lsd wouldn't make you trip. Not sure why he decided to go that route, need to search to see if he's ever commented or been asked about it.

I assume he would retcon it that hippie chick was confused or was told herself that it was "acid" and may have really been DMT. I don't think that lines up with Pitt's character's trip, but not impossible.

Otherwise, QT himself might have gotten LSD "acid" mixed up with PCP, which was added to cigs and the dope back in the day.

Heat inactivates LSD and would likely render it relatively useless to trip if smoked, although research is beyond sparse on the point.

I get that it was a Chekov's gun device. He could have done that with a sticker or sugar cube or whatever the hippies were doing in 1969 and been more accurate. Maybe he's really that naive nerd and doesn't know/didn't research it?

being very complimentary of Tarantino once they saw it made me think it could be the another case of Tarantino rewriting history.

It's most likely this & also the fact there's a cigarette being smoked in probably 90% of the scenes.

My booze don't need no buddy.

Being titled “Once Upon A Time In Hollywood” didn’t give you that clue going in?

Oh, I knew that the movie was bullshite. But I'm betting that this is all that a lot of people know, when it comes to those murders.

Tacking a fairy tale ending onto a tragedy like this is beyond tacky. But that's Tarantino.
