Good point--he would have made a perfect reclamation project along the lines of Travolta, Robert Forster, Chris Penn even. I can imagine him in the Kurt Russell Hollywood role.

historically Tarantino's forays into TV have ... not been good

Οὖτις, Friday, 17 January 2020 17:41 (four years ago) link

his CSI two-parter was great!

He’s been talking about the Bounty Law series for six months, but he talks about a lot of vaporware and he’s about to have a kid. Don’t count yr spurs before the cowboy saddles up, as my pappy used to say.

damn hes having a kid? good for him

I mean, is there a list of all of the abandoned Tarantino ideas out there? It's not like he tosses away ideas at a Neil Young clip or anything, but he's talked about a lot that falls by the wayside.

Star Trek and Bond films spring to mind

Οὖτις, Friday, 17 January 2020 20:27 (four years ago) link

Also the abandoned Vega brothers movie, and I think there was talk about a Basterds spin-off following a platoon of black soldiers.

Not the former publisher of Viz, I take it?

Tarantino should still do all the things you list.

So many bullets dodged

Baby yoda laid an egg (wins), Friday, 17 January 2020 21:20 (four years ago) link

would watch a movie of these bullets being dodged

He’s supposed to have a James Bond script done too. Would be very happy with Len Deighton though.

dude who gave up on the political process and tried to overthrow slavery personally through armed uprising and mass assassinations, convicted of treason and hung

Tarantino should still do all the things you list.

a little late for the Young Vega Brothers but Travolta could use a guiding hand again. he should definitely not write graphic novels. he should definitely come out of the upcoming retirement and make a bunch of horror movies when he gets bored.

nah, he was trying to make Casino Royale before the Broccolis got the rights

don't care didn't ask still clappin (sic), Friday, 17 January 2020 22:25 (four years ago) link

he should pull a Malick and disappear, and hopefully in 20 years there won't be any more movies

Imagine if River Phoenix hooked up with Wes Anderson, Paul Thomas Anderson, even Tarantino (whatever you think of the guy).

Tarantino should remake Knight of Cups

reggae mike love (polyphonic), Friday, 17 January 2020 23:01 (four years ago) link

For me, ONCE UPON A TIME IN HOLLYWOOD didn't live up to the hype. Tarantino had the look and the sounds down, yet it seemed pointlessly impressionistic. The Manson kids get killed, but they didn't really. It just reminds you that the massacre happened. Revisionism has its limits. pic.twitter.com/mjOmibaJMj

xp. not necessarily a negative appraisal (and he went to the theatre to watch it to boot)

*shares tweet about movie i didn’t see*

i actually fully agree with denny p's assessment there, christ!

Brad plz dear stfu w/ your persnickety policing

a Mets fan who gave up on everything in the mid '80s (Dr Morbius), Saturday, 18 January 2020 01:59 (four years ago) link

did you end up seeing it, morbs?

Doctor Casino, Saturday, 18 January 2020 02:52 (four years ago) link

Morbs has said many times that he will never see it, and yet he keeps persnicketily policing any reactions to it that don't accord with his imagined one

don't care didn't ask still clappin (sic), Saturday, 18 January 2020 02:55 (four years ago) link

I detest its maker as a human; this is the most active thread about him

that last tweet was in response to jiv's, in the spirit of "don't fuck with a fucker"

wishing you all a sleepless night

a Mets fan who gave up on everything in the mid '80s (Dr Morbius), Saturday, 18 January 2020 02:57 (four years ago) link

yeah it's super annoying when ppl take up loads of space on a thread for something they'll never watch :) xp

"fixing" the Manson murders is a fucking aesthetic crime, I don't need to see it after the Basterds idiocy cuz IT'S THE SAME THING.

a Mets fan who gave up on everything in the mid '80s (Dr Morbius), Saturday, 18 January 2020 02:59 (four years ago) link

haven't seen it but you're making me want to

Dan S, Saturday, 18 January 2020 03:12 (four years ago) link

iirc you were very mad at ppl dismissing ready player one before they saw it bc the source material was nuclear garbage

american bradass (BradNelson), Saturday, 18 January 2020 05:13 (four years ago) link

i think the violence at the end of basterds and this film are v different just based on context, for one this movie is wayyyyyyy more intimate

terminators of endearment (VegemiteGrrl), Saturday, 18 January 2020 05:18 (four years ago) link

and unnecessary imo

Just watched this a second time. Yeah, still wildly fucking mediocre. Pitt has some good moments and the set design is fun. Ending remains cringe-level stupid. Don’t get the love for this thing at all, but I’ve disliked everything from IG (against popular opinion) on.

circa1916, Saturday, 18 January 2020 06:27 (four years ago) link

IG? Inglorious Basterds.

circa1916, Saturday, 18 January 2020 06:29 (four years ago) link

Reservoir Dogs
The Hateful Eight

otm though flip kill bills 1 and 2 and put death proof in good

american bradass (BradNelson), Saturday, 18 January 2020 15:01 (four years ago) link

I'd bump Hateful Eight above Django, and c'mon, Reservoir Dogs is good.

Mario Meatwagon (Moodles), Saturday, 18 January 2020 15:03 (four years ago) link

If Tarantino had only made Dogs, Morbs would have a very valid point.

The dinner scene in Django is the only thing I'd save -- as tense as the Manson ranch scene in OUATIH later imo.

TikTok to the (Alfred, Lord Sotosyn), Saturday, 18 January 2020 15:41 (four years ago) link

Jackie Brown and Reservoir Dogs are great, the new one and half of Pulp Fiction are good, most are alright, the Kill Bills weren't for me. No interest in Death Proof, still haven't seen Inglorious Bastards.

clemenza, Saturday, 18 January 2020 16:18 (four years ago) link

finally saw this b/c theaters are rescreening it this week. fun movie!
