seeing unconfirmed reports that Manson has died, thought that's what the bump was about here
― sleeve, Friday, 17 November 2017 18:12 (six years ago) link
reports about Manson dying are kind of perennial, i know he's in the hospital but this has happened like 12-14 times in my lifetime
― flappy bird, Friday, 17 November 2017 18:23 (six years ago) link
lots of wishful thinking in the past, but fingers crossed this is the real deal

it'll be his Summer of Sam, except even worse

"Worse than Summer of Sam" would actually be quite an accomplishment in its own way.

So QT simply gets away with this sorry excuse? He knew about several cases, never said a damn thing, earned his bucks through him? Really?
― Le Bateau Ivre, Friday, 17 November 2017 19:10 (six years ago) link
why wouldn't he? isn't his core audience disproportionately men with little taste and judgment?

well they may not be the core, they just have a warped idea of irony and don't understand Sergio Leone (like you).

Morbs, true. Srsly though if we're talking about burning it down, and I'm behind that, at the very least this weasily, opportune, talentless scumbag enabler shouldn't escape the purge.
― Le Bateau Ivre, Friday, 17 November 2017 19:49 (six years ago) link
QT's made maybe 2 films that are better than Summer of Sam.
― Anne of the Thousand Gays (Eric H.), Friday, 17 November 2017 19:52 (six years ago) link
well given that he's made only 3 good films... no, you mean 3

In Loving Memory ofCharles Manson
THE NINTH FILM BY QUENTIN TARANTINO
― flappy bird, Monday, 20 November 2017 06:45 (six years ago) link
that sounds abt right

According to Deadline’s Mike Fleming Jr., in Quentin Tarantino’s next project, Leonardo DiCaprio will play “an actor who had his own Western show, Bounty Law, that ran on the air from 1958 to 1963. His attempt to transition to movies didn’t work out and in 1969—the film is set at the height of hippy Hollywood movement—he’s guesting on other people’s shows while contemplating going to Italy which has become a hotbed for low-budget Westerns.”

That's definitely a unique lens through which to examine the Manson murders.

And that cowboy was named . . . "Shorty" O'Shea. And now you know the rest of the story!

I mean I doubt it but it would be very Tarantinoesque for him to tell the story via this peripheral nobody.
― Millennial Whoop, wanna fight about it? (Phil D.), Friday, 19 January 2018 17:31 (six years ago) link
Clint Eastwood . . . secretsssssss!
― nickn, Friday, 19 January 2018 17:56 (six years ago) link
the Shorty angle would be great if that’s what he’s doing
― Squeaky Fromage (VegemiteGrrl), Friday, 19 January 2018 18:02 (six years ago) link
That piece says Tom Cruise may be in the film too, so I doubt he's going to keep this to one plot (or 2.5 hours).
― ice cream social justice (Dr Morbius), Friday, 19 January 2018 18:04 (six years ago) link
Doesn't literally match up with Eastwood, he went to Europe in '64.
― ice cream social justice (Dr Morbius), Friday, 19 January 2018 18:05 (six years ago) link
GOD dammit leave the Westerns behind!!!!!
sounds good tho

The film will be released worldwide on August 9, 2019. Opening on the 50th anniversary of the day that the Manson family committed the LaBianca murders and the day after Tate was killed
Seriously, fuck this guy and the studio who thinks this is a cool idea.
― Dan Worsley, Thursday, 1 March 2018 07:33 (six years ago) link
"DiCaprio will play Rick Dalton, former star of a western TV series, while Pitt will be his longtime stunt double, Cliff Booth."
Two of the most famous and expensive actors in the world, set to play two people--and I've read a fair amount about the murders over the years--I've never heard of (are they fictionalized?)

if he plays this "straight" (aka in the vein of Jackie Brown) and not like his exploitation movies I bet it could be good

I fear those days are long behind him.

Didn't he only ever play it "straight" (aka in the vein of Jackie Brown) in, er, Jackie Brown?

I'm not so sure. Every movie he's done since Jackie Brown (besides maybe Death Proof) has been a heavily stylized/high concept genre exercise or period piece. The fact that this is the first movie he's made based on real events, and that it takes place in the relatively recent past suggest that he'll take a more realistic approach to the material. I don't know how you can do this with cartoon characters. I have a feeling it'll be closer to Pulp Fiction than Jackie Brown w/r/t all that, which is fine by me.
― flappy bird, Friday, 2 March 2018 03:12 (six years ago) link
I watched Reservoir Dogs for the first time in years, some if it has aged really bad (his Madonna spiel seems particularly repugnant now) but it really did show up his later stuff as being so flabby, so labored in accomplishing relatively little.

"A Manson friend and memorabilia collector"--I hope his claim on the body was motivated by the former, not the latter.

by the way for thread posterity this movie is (currently) titled ONCE UPON A TIME IN HOLLYWOOD

I will be very surprised if this is any good.
"I believe this just might be my masterpiece" was a sadly prophetic final line of dialogue, cuz it's been all downhill from there.
