Quentin Tarantino's Manson murders movie

Needs more Deep Purple. I'm going to see a 70mm print of this with a friend next week. My wife didn't want to go and sent this https://themuse.jezebel.com/quentin-tarantinos-once-upon-a-time-in-hollywood-double-1836675763 as part of her reasoning - which I totally get.

How perversely long are we going to persist with this thread title

P.S. Hi, Morbs! Love ya, boo!

I've been studiously avoiding soundtrack listings. I want songs to catch me by surprise...

ppl seem to have forgotten the Oscar-winning film that opens with "Out of Time"

never

biggest Hollywood cheesecake robbery

would watch for real

after the heist, they repair to the hideout where they eat the cheesecakes and everybody is really happy

read that as "biggest Hollywood Cheesecake Factory"

Thoroughly enjoyed it. About as low-key as a $90 million dollar movie can be.

Noticed how it's deliberate when we should be soaking in the details and design and when we should be listening, rather than piling it all on at once.

Enough ppl I trust have told me it's not worthless that I'll probably see it next week

holy shit, this movie is almost 3 hours long? wish me luck!

are you familiar with Quentin Tarantino?

Quentin 'King of Brevity and Concision' Tarantino is stretching out, it seems.

spost ha

Ok, so I guess I didn't hate this, but I didn't find much to like about it either. Probably his most indulgent movie since Death Proof? I suppose less of it annoyed me than his last two, but I can't imagine ever seeing this again. And I am not sure I would recommend it to anyone.

I liked it very much. the end was a bit jarring but I loved the whole vibe and there was some genuine heart to it at points

gorgeous looking LA

Robie, Leo and Pitt were all great

Armond -- who says all the movies QT has made thus far "are all movies for moral idiots" -- turns in a rave.

I liked the acting fine, though Leo's acting is as always the antithesis of "effortless." But the twist (as such) at the end not only treads the same ground as "Basterds" but is imo both not as successful and also less impactful. That is, the what-if? posed by this movie just didn't do as much for me as the "who says we can't kill Hitler?" surprise. I was surprised by how chill and not showy most of the movie was, compared to lots of recent Tarantino, and relieved it lacked some of his more recent annoying/jarring ticks, but jeez, the stuff with the feet? If you're a dude with a reputation for jerking off to feet, it takes some cojones to constantly ask your actors to prop 'em up and shove them at the camera.

I didn't really notice but people sure seem hung up on it. I don't know what effortless vs effortful acting means or why one is better than the other

tbf, by some weird coincidence his two worst films also happen to be the two films that do not feature fetish shots of feet

which two?

Django and Hateful 8

every other one - except for Reservoir Dogs, which I don't think has a single woman in it anywhere (apart from the one who gets carjacked) - has a foot shot

Could've sworn he managed to work one in on Django, but by this point everyone's on the lookout and I trust any such claim.

I'd like a foot shot of QT tripping over one and off a cliff

sounds hottt

Re effortful acting, I mean that Leo is capital A Acting, trying so hard, and you can tell, like a dancer who has memorized the choreography but still looks like they have to think about what they are doing. It's almost campy, but at least in this one it was often kind of TV actor campy on purpose.

Very stagey and broad is what I'm getting at I guess.

will never be able to fathom what Scorsese and QT see in Sweaty Bigface

box office

does he really have a reliable fanbase a la Nic Cage or Tom Cruise or idk some other aging hearthrob? who are these people?

a butthole

Oops wrong thread

xps I'm not sure, but I think The Aviator made money, so they must exist.

I'm fairly sure leonardo dicaprio is one of the biggest stars in motion pictures and that this isn't a little-known fact

His last few movies have grossed more than $100 million, dudes.

he's a star by any definition, but for my students he's already "old."

But are Leonardo DiCaprio movies "Leonardo DiCaprio movies" the way Tom Cruise movies are "Tom Cruise movies"? Or are they inherently interesting movies that happen to star Leonardo DiCaprio?

I saw Inception and The Wolf of Wall Street in theaters, and I go to about one movie a year, but DiCaprio was not the selling point for me in either case.

he is generally the main character in movies he stars in.

and gets top-billing.

― shared unit of analysis (unperson),

I dunno about "inherently interesting," but otherwise yes and yes

The Revanant grossed $150 million and won him an Oscar because it was a monster movie starring Scrunchy Face.

I can say after teaching a film class this summer that thanks to the interchangeability of MU stars (three different Peter Parkers in 15 years?) the men and women less than 25 don't give a shit about stars generally, BUT Brad Pitt and Scrunchy Face (and Meryl Streep!) are easily recognizable and have a "brand." For them, though, Pitt is like Paul Newman when we were kids: "old," "handsome," cool enough to watch in a movie.

Fair enough. Movies, even more than pop music, are an area where I am totally alienated from what normal people like and why.

It was fascinating.

A plot digression features Bruce Dern as a blind, wizened, weakened victim of his own lusts as well as of female opportunists, a Harvey Weinstein figure.

Armond will never change he will only get more despicable
