R. Guyovich posted:must have been changed from the cannes screening, or the person who told me was themselves working off secondhand info There were a whole bunch of fake spoilers going around. I was bummed cuz I accidentally read some other spoilers about the ending but they turned out to be completely untrue.

dentist toy box posted:I feel like the pacing was fine unless all you watch is marvel movies. I dunno, the stuff with Leo’s bad guy western dragged on a bit and the Sharon Tate stuff didn’t feel all that well integrated into the movie at all. Better paced than Hateful Eight though

LanceHunter posted:I mean, the entire Tate-at-the-movies scenes were a direct emotional parallel of the Dalton on the Western set scenes. They were both exploring a performer’s desire for approval, the peril that is felt when that approval is lacking, and the elation when that approval is received. Maybe not a coincidence that those were the two big scenes I thought went on too long then

xrunner posted:Also - Brad Pitt’s wife is supposed to be a wink to Natalie Wood, right? Or am I overthinking it? I got that vibe too, not necessarily that it was a nod to her specifically but that it was a nod to that type of Hollywood scandal.

SleepCousinDeath posted:There will always be the people who are super into serial killers and true crime poo poo and will know about Manson. If anything, True Crime has really been having a moment over the past few years, I'm genuinely surprised how many people in the thread knew next to nothing about Manson too.

Equeen posted:I think what's left out of the discourse is that the manson family were literally trying to start a race war. yeah and that's something that feels like it gets left out of a lot of discussion about Manson. The Helter Skelter prophecy was basically The Turner Diaries.

Grizzled Patriarch posted:This was before my time so I'm genuinely curious, why would the fanboyism end with a movie that is easily in the top 3 of anything he's done? If it was before your time you probably don’t know this, but reception to Jackie Brown was decidedly more muted than Tarantino’s first two movies when it came out. It turned a tidy profit, but domestically it grossed about 40 million compared to Pulp Fiction’s 100+ million, and critics generally liked it but were not over the moon for it. There’s a reason the gap between Jackie Brown and Kill Bill was the longest between films in Tarantino’s career. It’s a fairly common take now, but if you were to say Jackie Brown was Tarantino’s best movie fifteen years ago, you’d be accused of extreme contrarianism.

Ardent Communist posted:Honestly, I kind of think that it's because it has a black woman lead. I can't really see any justifiable reason it wasn't as popular as Pulp Fiction, it's probably one of my favourite movies by him and it's crazy how little people know about it. That could certainly be part of it, i always credited it to it being by far his least violent movie. It was also the first time he played around with a deliberately slow pace, the film where the characters feel most like real people and least like Tarantino characters (probably the Leonard influence creeping in), and the only time he directly adapted someone else's material. Grizzled Patriarch posted:Huh, that's genuinely interesting. Now I gotta look up some contemporary reviews and see what the hell people were thinking. I guess tonally it's a little out of step with his first two but the pacing is crazy good and the dialogue is some of the best he's ever done. Ebert definitely loved it at least, his review of it is really good. Uncle Boogeyman fucked around with this message at 18:45 on Aug 1, 2019 |

I’m bummed we didn’t hear about this giallo during the Italy sequence MacheteZombie posted:I haven't seen this movie yet, but I want this poster framed and up against my ceiling asap. I hate to break it to you guys but its just an ugly version of the New York Ripper poster Was it even made for the movie? it looks fan made and i don't think Tarantino would stoop to "Dario Fulci" as a gag

Pirate Jet posted:Kill Bill counts as one movie. Tarantino was pretty open about how upset he was he had to cut it down to two. I still think that’s kind of a work on Tarantino’s part, especially considering that the movie Kill Bill is most aping, Lady Snowblood, is also a two-parter

TrixRabbi posted:It's cool that Tarantino made a nearly 3 hour long movie about aging, transition, the power of film, death and afterlife, the business of Hollywood, and we're still loving talking about whether or not the real Bruce Lee ever bragged about winning a fight with Ali. Can we finally talk about how bad the little girl scene is
