WTF was that?


It's a vamp.

For most of the movie it's an ambling little period piece, and for that purpose it works. Then he tacks on a classic Tarantino-style ending, out of nowhere, which also works. I found myself liking it much better after watching it than I did while watching it.


Tarantino's best movie, followed by Inglorious Bastards *

Loved the movie. Captured that time period very well.

And then again, flame throwers are always kind of a statement.


Count me among those who really liked it *

Not sure, but between the filming and the Woolsey fire, it

shut down one of my favorite running trails in Simi Valley for almost a year. So rude.


You running Stage Coach trail, or Corriganville?

I thought you stayed on your side of the Valley for trail running.


The soundtrack slaps. *

It's Tarantino's love letter to that era of Hollywood

I can see why some wouldn't like it, but I enjoyed every second. The ending was just the hilarious icing on top.


I’d take the scene with Brad Pitt on the roof in a loop. *

It’s overlong, but I agree w/ THR re the soundtrack. And...

...I loved the period cars.

DiCaprio was a bit of a scenery muncher, but Pitt was really good, and I could watch Margot Robbie forever.


QT made Pitt like a god in that movie. *

But I’m a sucker for a good flame thrower scene. Very underrated weapon. Short range, large risk but the potential carnage and agony are well worth it!


I’ll give you that it has one of the top ten flamethrower

Great ending - I could’ve done without the rest *

To understand it, you need to watch...

..."Kiss Me Deadly" of 1955 (though most relate that movie to "Pulp Fiction").


I'd like a cut that is just the ending sequence.

Hated the movie, but loved the ending.


Enjoyed it and I’m 50/50 with Tarantino *

A bad film

My least favorite Tarintino film, did not enjoy it at all, very disappointing.


What was your favorite?

Just curious, but there’s certain Tarantino films that appeal to some people more than others. I’m not a huge film and 60s buff, but enough of one to really appreciate a lot of what this film was doing. My wife isn’t and it wasn’t her favorite (although she loved DiCaprio’s acting).


My top 5
by vermin05  (2020-11-24 23:39:16)     cannot delete  |  Edit  |  Return to Board  |  Ignore Poster   |   Highlight Poster  |   Reply to Post

1. Kill Bill
2. Pulp Fiction
3. Django Unchained
4. Reservoir Dogs
5. Jackie Brown


Interesting. I think my 5 would be
by 3rdSt  (2020-11-25 00:04:05)     cannot delete  |  Edit  |  Return to Board  |  Ignore Poster   |   Highlight Poster  |   Reply to Post

1) Pulp Fiction
2) Jackie Brown
3) Once Upon a Time...
4) Django Unchained
5) Kill Bill

I also could easily switch the first two and replace Kill Bill with Reservoir Dogs. I also like historical pieces, so that explains a lot of that.


No Inglorious Basterds? *

Different strokes.

Especially with Tarintino films.
