I kinda doubt that would happen, Tom Cruise hasn’t been in a movie without a significant amount of control since like Topic Thunder? Besides, based on his feelings about the Mansion Family I can’t imagine Tarantino’s overly fond of Scientology.

Tarantino isn’t going to turn down the chance to film feet in zero gravity. I’d like to see Tom Hanks in a Tarantino movie. Chris Evans and John Goodman would be on my list too.

Cruise was actually considered for Pitt's role in OUATIH but talks fell through early on. https://www.slashfilm.com/tom-cruise-in-once-upon-a-time-in-hollywood/ quote:Back when casting rumors were flying around about Tarantino’s then-untitled Once Upon a Time in Hollywood, one of the big names that kept coming up was Tom Cruise. Cruise obviously isn’t in the movie now, but he could have been. Speaking with the Happy Sad Confused podcast (via The Playlist), Tarantino confirmed that he did indeed talk to Cruise about joining the film: “He’s a great guy and we really hit it off. [A collaboration] could happen on something else.”

I think about Leo at the end, giant margarita in hand, ranting and saying "property taxes up the butt!" a lot. He gives the best performance of the two for me. He's great at showing this kind of masculine anxiety but his performance feels so lived in, he disappeared into it.

That masculine anxiety is pretty important. I mean, I know "they're secretly gay" is such a meme interpretation for media these days, but I really do think there's some intentional homoerotic tension between Rick and Cliff (which by not making it explicit would track with the time period the film is set in). It starts with the jokes at the beginning -- "Yeah, you could say I carry his load." But Rick is obviously very flamboyant in his lifestyle, fashion, but also is most content when he's with Cliff. Cliff meanwhile is the more traditionally masculine of the two yet also has this element of being overly sexualized while avoiding women's advances (and probably killing his wife). Rick getting a beard Italian wife makes sense, but the scene in the bar where he breaks down sobbing telling Cliff he has to let him go reads like a breakup scene. In the finale, his wife is secondary, it's all about whether Cliff is ok and wanting to ride to the hospital with him. Tarantino has never done anything explicitly queer, but he has hinted at homoeroticism before in odd ways. Like, Michael Madsen's character in The Hateful Eight is named Joe Gage after a pioneering gay pornographer (best known for El Paso Wrecking Corp. and his work with Fred Halsted). It's all little weird subtleties that I don't think can be ignored, nor do I think I'm reading too much into it.

Hans Landa is in a relationship with his radioman who Aldo casually shoots to death at the end of Inglourious Basterds, which adds a whole new layer to Landa's character

The thin, sometimes blurred line between masculine love and homoeroticism has been a thing in Quentin’s movies since he got one finished:

Just saw this movie for the first time. After seeing Cliff's lovely little trailer behind the drive-in, did anyone else think that the second can of dog food that gets pulled out is Cliff's dinner?

Nah he does dump it in the bowl, Cliff has Kraft mac and cheese. He does eat dog food while tripping on acid at the end, though

My favorite joke in this film is the oil being mined right outside his trailer. If he owned the land, he'd be rich!

The Cameo posted:And Damian Lewis as Steve McQueen, god loving drat, that guy knew he had one scene, one monologue, playing one of the most famous actors in American cinema history, and he had to nail it, and he conveys so much regret in "I never stood a chance" that I found myself feeling bad for Steve McQueen, the king of cool. This blew me away the first time I saw it. I actually thought, wow, either they pulled some archival footage of McQueen for this, or did some incredible CGI or rotoscoping or something. In that scene he looks, sounds and acts exactly like McQueen. I think the way his face was lit had a lot to do with the uncanny resemblance. Re the feet thing. Anyone notice Sharon's feet are dirty just like Pussycat's? To me this is suggesting they're not really that different. Both are hippy chicks but one just happens to have money, a career and a famous husband. The other, dumpster pickles and Charlie...

goon, I honestly thought the Manson clan and Helter Skelter were common knowledge. I remember it as a kid, watched the TV movie and practically grew up with it. The band Heart wrote a song about Manson ("Magic Man") The idea of someone not being versed in the story is weird to me so the tension buildup worked on me but I can imagine the if you didn't know Tate's ultimate fate, her scenes might have seemed pointless.

Quentin Tarantino's last film should be about Col. Hans Landa living out the rest of his days in America with a swastika carved into his forehead. People would yell "You Fuckin' Nazi BASTARD!" and Hans would yell back "I ENDED WORLD WAR TWO!!"

Like if it was the fifties and I saw someone with a swastika carved in his forehead I'd probably assume he was a victim of the Nazis not one himself... it's not like a tattoo.
