I feel like a lot of with Tarantino movies (Kill Bill, Inglorious) he's felt more like a mash-up DJ than an auteur, but with Hateful Eight it's more of his own voice.

justlikedunkirk posted:Yeah, I've seen this twice now and it's QT's worst movie by far. I feel like with his massive success from Inglourious Basterds and Django Unchained (and, I hate to say it, Sally Menke's death) he's getting more unwieldy and worse. At first I thought it was funny that he brought back the Ultra Panavision format just to shoot a chamber piece with it, but then I realized that joke gets old after 3 hours. i didnt even find the brutality the problem or even the "sucked my big black dingus" scene was ok, because the confederate was a piece of poo poo and deserved to be straight up murdered. I also didnt really have any problems with all the characters being monsters in one way or another, I mean reservoir dogs is one of my favorite movies and everyone is monster in that. but the problem i had was the twist was dumb and obvious and there was no tension. I was hoping for more of a reservoir dogs thing, where they all grow increasing paranoid and start turning on each other over racial/political/whatever issues. but instead all the people in the cabin are with the gang and then eventual they all die and jackson gets shot in the balls by some deux machina brother of daisy in the basement, who then gets the top of his head blown off after a long and dumb flashback. so yeah, not my thing. and i love his slow talky stuff too, but this wasnt even interesting. i loved Basterds and Django because you didnt know what was around the corner and who would make it out alive. in this, you knew by the half way mark. also as much as i am not a big fan of the movie, i am sure others will like it. and that review that was posted was utter poo poo.

zandert33 posted:I think one of the big problems is the fact that they backload so many movies to the end of the year, so once Oscar "screeners" need to go out, they are of a bunch of movies that are either not released or still in theaters. If they spaced it out, I doubt it would be as bad as this is. I don't know why every screener isn't a self-destructing, time-limited Vimeo link at this point, which is what I usually get for festival review screeners. You could probably still grab the video with software but I would think it'd cut down on physical copes just randomly going missing.

I liked the movie a lot. One question: If Minnie really did hate Mexicans and didn't allow them in her haberdashery why was she so welcoming to Bob when they showed up? I guess he just introduced himself as Bob rather than Senor Bob, but isn't it obvious he's Mexican anyway?

I also get the impression that he was bluffing to Gen. Smithers about the fate of his son. My impressions of the movie is it's another Tarantino movie. Some things miffed me on first watch but I'm sure I'll enjoy it more on rewatches like with all his other films. SeANMcBAY fucked around with this message at 22:22 on Dec 24, 2015 |

During the ride to Minnie's, the Sheriff talked about how alot of confederate bounty hunters tried to go after Warren, "to find fortune". The generals son died on a trip to acquire great fortune, which most likely was to catch Warren. So most likely the tale was true.

The banter can be a fun spice to the rest of the movie when there's also anything else whatsoever to it. If Pulp Fiction was the Royale with Cheese chat drawn out over three hours then Marvin gets in the backseat and has his head blown off, Jackie Brown woulda been shot in Quentin's apartment with a camcorder and one actor. cat doter posted:what the gently caress does this even mean That guy saw The Thing, or possibly read about it somewhere A Wizard of Goatse fucked around with this message at 00:37 on Dec 25, 2015 |

Warren also didn't hear the general tell the sheriff about his son dying in Wyoming, so he couldn't have just made it up without knowing something beforehand. The only word senior bob says to Minnie is his name, but it is still strange that she didn't seem to notice. That's my only complaint with the movie.

Just got home from seeing it in 70mm. I loved it! The thing that stood out most to me was how much it was this:h_double posted:A lot of it does feel a lot like a stage play -- and one that's more of a sardonic character study, rather than a tense whodunit (which is why I don't think "Western Reservoir Dogs" is a perfect analogy). At times it's got kind of a leisurely pace, but there's some lovely camera work and Morricone score (and some highly entertaining swagger brought by Russell, Jackson, and Goggins) to linger over in the process. Yeah, yeah. The n-word is uttered a lot. Well you know what? That's how many white people spoke in the 1800s when the movie is set. That doesn't make using the word the right thing to do, but Tarantino made this thing period-appropriate, and it's not like the actors themselves are racist for uttering period-appropriate dialogue when playing a role in a movie. Plus, Samuel L. Jackson's character completely loving annihilates several people and is one of the only 2 surviving characters at the end of the movie, so calling this movie racist seems to be missing the loving point. Also, this thing is gory as hell. I mean, many of the gory moments happen in quick bursts, but still. If you're squeamish, I'd stay away from this. And if you're wondering if anything happens during the 70mm version's intermission, nothing does. Rageaholic fucked around with this message at 04:49 on Dec 25, 2015 |

Just got back from the Road Show as well and enjoyed it immensely. This is a methodical movie and pays homage to John Carpenter's The Thing, Hang Em High, and oddly enough Tombstone. If you don't like slow burn movies I would suggest to go see something else. Otherwise, the people who put patience into this film will be rewarded with some great dialogue, beautiful cinematography, and some choice scenes that will stick with you as you leave the theater.

Question for y'all who saw the roadshow version: Did you get your collectible program? Because I sure didn't  Almost everyone in my theater seemed to have one, but I didn't get one. I don't even know where I would've gotten one. The ticket ripper wasn't handing them out, and there wasn't someone handing them out at the entrance to the theater either. And I got to the theater half an hour early, so if it was a "while supplies last" type deal, I don't think I would've missed it.

They had them at guest services. I asked someone in the theater who had one. They weren't handing them out to people. You had to know about it and basically ask where they were at my theater.

With Tarantino I avoid the marketing as best I can because I don't need to be sold. All I could tell from the stills I couldn't avoid was that there were obvious visual allusions to The Great Silence, and it turns out the story itself is definitely cut from the same bleak cloth as well. The first half is buildup that feels just a little awkward but by the time the intermission hits and afterward, it's all justified by rich, diverse interplay between a delectable tapestry of undignified characters. From the first shot QT/Robert Richardson convincingly made their case for 70mm presentation in the 21st century. From breathtaking snowy vistas to wide interiors speckled with action about the frame, it's really a stupendous piece of photography. Ennio Morricone killed it on the score. I'm really high on this flick right now.

I think Tarantino did great to produce a layered story while keeping it confined to a little shack. Each character had a story and the build-up to figuring out exactly what sides people were on was great. First half was a murder mystery, the second half a bloodbath. No complaints at all.

I liked how Tim Roth's English accent turned from Dr. Who to Guy Ritchie when nobody was around. 70MM somewhat wasted by all the indoor shots, but a beautiful movie. Goggins is great I just hope he isn't typecasted. He's played essentially the same wordy rear end in a top hat racist on his last three outings, I think. Russell is awesome in this and still sells being a dangerous badass despite his age (something that took me out of the new Star Wars with a positively geriatric Harrison Ford). Also you should've gotten like Sam Elliot to narrate, not Tarantino himself. Firstborn fucked around with this message at 06:40 on Dec 25, 2015 |
