Quentin Tarantino's Manson murders movie

If, as widely guessed, Brad Pitt prevents the murders in a blaze of bloody glory, that will be an Inglourious Bastards-derived joke come to fully unimagined life.

Sharon Tate lives, plays Jackie Brown in an universally acclaimed comeback in 1997.

fond of this L'boxd review

a nearly comatose-able experience directed savegly

would make a great blurb for the poster

Anyone who wants full spoilers: go digging in the Wiki entry's edit history.

OK, that's officially even worse than anything I would have come up with.

lol my reaction as well

yup

Movie looks cool though

iirc QT works with a good cinematographer. don't let that fool you.

I truly can’t think of a dumber ending, or one that plays to his critics more. Is there a German word for the paradoxical feeling of actually being surprised at how lazily predictable something ends up being?

And when Sharon Tate, spared a grisly end by Bruce Lee's single-handed dispatch of her would-be assailants, finally did give birth, her son grew up to be famous in his own right. His name? Quentin Tarantino. And that's the rest of the story. Good day!

(If I did guess the ending, I swear it was a total accident and I apologize, but if it's actually that stupid then you should probably also demand an apology from QT himself.)

I approve of your Paul Harvey impression, could use more ellipses though

oh god there’s gonna be so many fucking thinkpieces about this

stinkpieces

Video store boy makes another film. What a grifter.

Doesn't look like this has been posted, unless I missed it.

I barely skim reviews beforehand, but does seem to be enthusiastic.

I went on one of my few Twitter tirades two days ago constructing false binaries (i.e. why men -- always men -- look to QT to relive the shit nostalgia from their youth don't get half so excited for Claire Denis or even James Gray).

That drifting, elegiac quality (which at times may recall his once-neglected, now-classic Jackie Brown) is the film’s great strength

v encouraging sentence

I wish people would stop this "once neglected" twaddle. It got good reviews, did well in theaters, did better on VHS/DVD; lots of critics at the time said it was his best movie.

Yeah, there's no such thing as a "neglected" Tarantino movie, unless they mean that the Pulp Fiction-worshipping frat ape contingent didn't like it as much as his other shit, because it had recognizable human beings demonstrating realistic human emotions in it.

how indeed is it possible for somebody to be so far up his own ass

v otm

xp

I was gonna make a crack about 'neglected' in this context basically meaning 'a QT film that cannot be easily perpetuated in the public consciousness via the medium of Halloween costumes' but now I feel like I absolutely must do Max Cherry this year.

that climax is 100% unsurprising, eh

There's a great movie to be made about the Manson family that focuses on the psychological path of the women.

It turns out that movie is Mary Harron's Charlie Says, written by long term collaborator Guinevere Turner (American Psycho, The Notorious Bettie Page). Heard about it on today's Film Comment podcast, where Harron reveals that she was only green lit after Tarantino's film was announced.

must you

it's "must u guys"

Morbs u

dis ting got a soundtrack yet?

It's pointed out in the You Must Remember This Manson season that The Wrecking Crew garnered Tate her only good reviews (pre-slaying).

Andrew Sarris singled her out in Don't Make Waves, albeit strictly for physical charms ("Claudia's troubles are compounded by the fact that she is out-vavavoomed by Sharon Tate in the biggest Hollywood cheesecake robbery since Betty Grable displaced Alice Faye in Tin Pan Alley.").

Is Manson family chic in style again?

Not until women start shaving their heads and scratching swastikas on their foreheads.

it's been some time since I anticipated a movie the way I am this one. And I haven't even seen Tarantino's last three movies.

Haha that explains yr enthusiasm

my enthusiasm is basically all based on the premise, the time it's set, and the trailer.
