Netflix has an almost four hour cut of Hateful Eight divided into four episodes that I found quite enjoyable.

I've been meaning to watch that. What portion of the movie did he add the most to? Or were the additions mostly evenly distributed throughout?

I can’t really tell you. I’ve only ever seen the roadshow cut at the theater. Supposedly this uses footage from the theatrical, roadshow, and takes that weren’t used in either. There were scenes that seemed a little different to me, but I can’t really recall anything that seemed like it was crammed in where it wasn’t before.

I’m sure a more astute cinephile has done a detailed breakdown of the differences between the three versions of the film is out there, but I’m not that observant.

That roadshow was so fuckin cool. I wish studios would do that a little more often to make going to a movie feel like more of an event.

I had no idea they did this, they never did a roadshow here so that's something I'll have to check out. Definitely not reading those comparisons though, it'll be easier to just watch the drat thing myself.

I went to the 70mm roadshow at a local theater, and the projector bulb died literally right after Channing Tatum popped his head out of the basement. The audio, however, didn't stop. We knew something happened, and it was pretty easy to guess what, but it was a bum moment to end the experience.

loving same. The program, the intermission, and actual film stock made going to the theater feel like an event. I know it wasn’t the most well received Tarantino film, but the presentation of the roadshow made it something truly special.

Finally saw this. I thought it was alright. The buddy stuff was fun, but there was a little too much old Hollywood navel gazing.

Rolling with Tarantino’s Red Apple universe, I’m wondering if Rick Dalton’s Nazi movie was the in-universe movie about the Inglourious Basterds event. I guess Hitler would have gotten roasted too, unless that would have been too on the nose.

Had a free FandangoNow credit and thought I'd use this to waste the day with.

Really, really slavish attention to Hollywood What Was and it was amazing seeing little bits of LA history here and there. I used to drive by the Van Nuys Drive In to see relatives and watching it up there in its heyday (when the area was just empty) was a nice trip.
I enjoyed DeCaprio's story as a washed-up actor coming to terms with the opportunities that were just beyond his reach and the withering away of his future potential. There's a lot of anxiety there that's wonderful to see. And Pitt's chill, unattached bro is the perfect Pre-Kato Kaelin layabout. I liked how their circumstances were similar but the reactions to what they were dealt were different.

Something that really took my attention was the part where Leo meets the Lancer guy and there's what feels like jump cuts (as if footage were spliced out or missed) as they interact. Nice way to remind people that this is just a fairytale.

Finally watched it. I think it was exceptional, probably in the top four of Tarantino's films, though I'll have to wait and see how I feel about it to determine exactly where in the top 4 it ought to go. It might be his best since Pulp Fiction, it gave me the same kind of feeling in terms of being essentially plotless but it added in a really interesting weaving of fantasy and reality, which gave it a great sense of tension.

Visually, I think it was just amazing. I see a lot of films now where this is not necessarily the case -- they're competently made, but they look like real life, whereas I think this film made things look better, somehow more engaging, than reality itself. The only recent thing I've seen that I could compare it to is The New Pope, there's the same sense that in watching the film you are experiencing a version of the story that's better than what you would see if you were actually there as these events were happening.

Most of all, I know this will be a film I watch again and again, and I haven't really felt that way about a Tarantino film since Kill Bill. That's not necessarily an indication that a film is good or bad, there's plenty of excellent films I only watch one time, and plenty of lovely ones I'll rewatch quite a bit, but it is somewhat refreshing after Tarantino's more recent exhausting experiences.

I have so many thoughts about this excellent film but just want to share a couple:

This is a movie that really rewards you for knowing your poo poo. The more you know about Tate, Manson, Hollywood history, movies, and Tarantino himself the more enjoyable it is. It’s not subtle about it’s themes or doing puzzle box poo poo but it’s really really layered.

poo poo like the acid cigarette, the dubious Bruce Lee fight. Nerds arguing about realism or historical accuracy are just missing the point and being literalists. Quentin Tarantino knows you can’t smoke LSD and he knows that you know. He also knows cigarettes and smoking look cool in movies.

There’s no factual answer for if Brad Pitt beat you Bruce Lee or if he killed himself or not. That’s not important. The fact it might be “factual” is maybe more important. He remembers the funny story to get by. His memory is missing a reel about his wife.


The whole movie is about stories, acting, roles and the magic of movies. It’s about the unreality of movies and Hollywood, and telling stories to make things better.

The “real” story of history is a crime and movies are the closest we have to a way to travel back in time and kill Hitler. The movie is largely about the magic trick it’s going to pull in the end.

History and reality are the driving force of dread. If you know about Sharon Tate the ending looms and this thing you’re afraid of, and the climax provides catharsis against HISTORY ITSELF and it’s not real, everyone knows that, but movies are MAGIC so it’s a story we can watch, just like we could have watched the same story in a different movie with the real ending.

Quentin himself is also the looming threat. If you’ve seen his movies and know about Sharon Tate it’s not just the dread of her murder, it’s the dread of what Quentin loving Tarantino: the boy who loves flashy violence is going to do with this brutal murder of this sweet, super pregnant lady. It ties in perfectly with the themes of the relationship of movies to history.

I loved it.

Also if you don’t know about Charles loving Manson that may not necessarily be your fault exactly, but the movie expects you too and if you don’t oh well, that’s too bad for you and not the film’s fault. Art is allowed to expect things from its audience, and knowing even a little about Charles loving Manson is a pretty reasonable request.

I imagine a lot of the folks mad about it also do the whinny “satire requires a clarity of purpose” spiel because they’re still embarrassed they missed the joke in Starship Troopers.

*blep*



Took me ages to get around to watching the movie, but in the end I'm glad I did. My favourite Tarantino movie in ages, and probably one of my favourites in general.

Initially the movie started rubbing me the wrong way when it felt like Tarantino cranking it to his library and extensive knowledge of early 60s TV shows, but about 15 minutes in to the movie I realized it was all creating a wonderful sense of time and place, and once I kind of eased into the movie more that sense just deepened. They must've done a ton of work to make the world feel like such a lived in place. I absolutely loved the long scenes that just let us take in the world, go along with Brad Pitt on a car ride, watch him feed his dog, watch Leo learning his lines while floating in his pool.

And the ending. Oh boy, the ending. I did not see it coming and was pretty much laughing hysterically from the moment Cliff Booth sicks Brandy on Tex. And jesus christ the tension leading up to that moment! From when Kurt Russell(?) starts the true crime style narration of the events leading up to the night of the real world Tate murder, I was on the edge of my seat, and during the final confrontation at the Dalton house... Jesus.

After the movie the more I thought about it, the more it felt almost kind of self-biographical, in a way. It wouldn't be a huge stretch to say that a certain kind of movie making is dying or has already died, with the box office being full of Marvel movies, CGI movies and remakes, which kind of echoes the very drastic changes Hollywood is undergoing in the movie.

What's more, Tarantino is one of the very few holdouts who keeps taking these actors that are viewed as being past it or have had their troubles in the past, and giving them proper meaty acting roles, and getting great results out of them, which is of course directly mirrored with Rick Dalton getting that exact experience on Lancer with a very Tarantino-esque director. It almost feels like him looking at the rest of Hollywood and saying "there's nothing stopping you from doing the same, you know".

In any case I really hope Tarantino keeps making movies for a long time yet, because even though I sure as hell haven't loved all of his movies, they are all definitely unique experiences and when he hits, he knocks it out of the park like nobody else can.

Robert Forster in JB was an inspired choice too. And Carradine was largely relegated to DTV trash before (and after) Kill Bill, which was the first real showcase for his talent in over 20 years. Even Kurt Russel had just been doing the occasional kids flick or inspirational movie in the few years preceding Death Proof.

I don't get where you think they're past their prime or that younger people don't know who they are. That just feels absurdly presumptive. Do young people not know who Tom Hanks or George Clooney or Tom Cruise are because they're getting older?
