For some reason he's going to stunt cast Mike Myers as Franklin, Pitt's playing Duke.

I like his movies just fine, I even listen to that podcast on occasion, but he is an aggressively and obnoxiously annoying little gently caress. There's no argument to be had.

Once upon a time in Hollywood was unfortunately pretty bad, imo, and the ending was, for me, one of the only times where Tarantino actually went too far and had a bunch of violence and gore that was just gratuitous without being enjoyable or engaging. The little mini thriller at the Manson ranch was well directed but I could really take or leave the rest of the movie

It feels like a movie that is tailor-made for me to love, but I just really don't. I wish I liked it more, but it just felt so saggy and circuitous.

I dunno that I find him terrible but I got mad at Hateful Eight and haven't been back for anything of his since, don't plan to change that. He's definitely a guy with a style, and that style began to grate on me to no end.

They did cut it into a mini series and put it on Netflix so people can actually take toilet breaks

Hateful Eight is a solid flick if a bit forgettable, though also a bit too in love with itself. Could definitely have been less self-indulgent.

I admit my grudges about it are half-irrational. I hate that you literally can't puzzle out the mystery in the first half, it cheats, and also I ended up sitting through the whole thing because we expected our theater to do the intermission bit, but they didn't, so when we realized how deep we were info the film while disliking it, it still became "gently caress it, let's see it through"

I still laugh that Tarantino hyped up screening The Hateful Eight in a special widescreen format that isn't really used much anymore, and then proceeds to use it for a movie that is 99% in one room and not outside.

There's more than a couple of things that don't work in Once Upon a Time in Hollywood but the production/costume design alone make it worthwhile.

What's the Charles Manson scene? I saw it in theaters and can only recall He was creepily loitering at the Tate house days before the attack. It was a short, minor scene, and I haven't thought about it since.

Marty's next next film, after his upcoming Life of Jesus, is supposed to be a Frank Sinatra biopic starring Leonardo Di Caprio. Which is interesting news, as I had thought his next one was going to be The Wager, based on David Grann's book. I wonder if he reckons the Sinatra pic will be cheaper and more commercially viable than a film with portions set out at sea, making getting the funding for The Wager easier.

I guess someone that's supposed to be a Charles Manson copycat? It was a crazy bearded dude and two crazy women attacking Leonardo DiCaprio and Brad Pitt at their house and it had some of the worst slapstick violence I've ever seen.

I didn't think the scene was executed particularly well myself, but it's a payoff to a number of elements in the film. Watching it out of context really wouldn't work.

You're talking about Tex one of Mansons groupies who did kill and butcher a bunch of people woth those ladies

As someone who has read Helter Skelter that scene was loving well earned. The reality is so much worse.

I've never been interested in serial killers, and I've only read the odd book (I'll be gone in the dark) or seen the odd movie (Zodiac) about them; following them isn't some passion of mine the way it seems to be for some people, considering the rise of the various true crime podcasts or those various TV shows in thr 90s recounting real murders. That said, my cursory knowledge was that Charles Mason wasn't present in historical fact and that's also not supposed to be him in the finale. I think those people, in both reality and fiction, are his "disciples".
