Sufficiently kickass.

Great movie, probably the most tragic and unglamorous look at mafia life in a long time. Scorsese doesn't mess around when it comes to showing the banality of the terrible actions and choices that the people here make - there is no dressing up how they choose to take somebody out, it's a casual and easy process; they get more excited and emotional about stealing beef from a truck.

Which made the tiny bit of emotion expressed by Frank during Hoffa's death feel very tragic, you can really see the last bit of humanity slip away from Frank as he's setting up Jimmy, and the moment where Jimmy realizes what the house is for but doesn't realize why Frank is there, is like a slow moving train even though it happens in a couple of seconds.


Agreed. Good points.

The exchange in the car about the fish between Sally and Chuckie is pretty great.

Once Upon a Time... in Hollywood was easily one of Tarantino's strongest movies, in my opinion, but whatever, I guess.

What's kinda funny, though, is that the poster bemoans alternate history narratives while praising a movie that's essentially alternate history (the one the thread's for).

I just wanted to say that the chances of finding blood somewhere in any home that's been lived in seems more likely than not.
