Excited but concerned as well. One of my main concerns is him possibly writing his foot kink into a Sharon Tate/Folger murder scene. I can just see it now with him doing "artistic" close-ups on bloody soles or some shit. I'm calling it.

If he does, I finally deem him a sick fuck going too far and this will be the movie I write him off...

That anxiety aside, I am looking forward to it as well. Pitt and DiCaprio combo could be pretty badass.

Spider-Man: Into the Spiderverse


It was tons of fun and legitimately good. Great animation. Stylish and very cool. Thoroughly enjoyed it.

i dont give a shit about fetishes. im for flying freak flags. i however DO NOT LIKE non consensual murder. but i wrote him off a while ago. if he skips all the talky talk and makes a good movie i’ll be very happy.

Its odd that Tarantino has never made/written another movie that felt like Natural Born Killers. A movie that was certainly of its time. I know/heard he wasn't exactly happy with Oliver Stone's finished film in the end, but seeing as he did write the thing, Tarantino himself has never really put similar social commentary/satire in his movies. I have no idea if Once Upon a Time In Hollywood will be a return to that type of writing for him or not.

I don’t actually remember Natural Born Killers wel enough to know exactly what you’re talking about, but he did write True Romance. ... which I also don’t remember very well now that I think about it.

Tarantino himself would probably argue that Reservoir Dogs is social commentary/satire, but the truth is that it’s just a really egotistical young man’s attempt to shock with racially charged dialogue that simply has not aged well.

But I’m stoked for the new one because BRAD PITT.
I love Brad Pitt. I know full well that he’s not the world’s greatest actor, but he’s one of the most naturally compelling and fun to watch. He kind of just *is Brad Pitt* in most movies these days, but damned if it isn’t a pleasure to watch.

so hateful eight isn’t satire either yes? cuz after 5 minutes of n-words i just turned it off

im not a snowflake but that shit was just gratuitous. not sure why capital one man consents.

Reservoir Dogs was true to how white mobsters see race. CLASSIC.


Pulp Fiction was great, until you get to Tarantino himself writing a part for himself so he could say nigger this and nigger thant and headless nigger. That shit felt wrong when I first saw it in theater, and it feels wrong all the timje, especially since the excuse tarantino gives is that the character's wife is black, so he can say whatever racial shit comes to mind.


Django Unchained SUCKED. I fucking hated that movie and it felt like a white man's fantasy of what a black man's revenge fantasy would be.


Hateful Eight at least couches it all in the post civil war times, when racial shit was till red hot and horrible. Either way, it was a bit much, especially as it also contains what tarantino thinks is a good revenge for blacks, namely the speech about face fucking the son of the old white general/colonel. Only a white man wold think to insult a white man by showing how willing a black man is to get his dick sucked by a subservient man. HORRIBLE.


Tarantino lost his shit years ago

Bullshit. Pulp Fiction is a 10/10. It’s a perfect movie.

Django Unchained SUCKED. I fucking hated that movie and it felt like a white man's fantasy of what a black man's revenge fantasy would be.

Bullshit. Django was great.

Uhh... and Django didn’t take place during a period when “racial shit was red hot and horrible”? Because, of course, it did.

Tarantino lost his shit years ago

Probably, but never makes a movie that outright sucked. Everything’s at least a B- (Reservoir Dogs), and Pulp Fiction and Jackie Brown are A+.

I don’t actually remember a ton of N-word stuff in that one, but I’ve only seen it once.

It is a historical piece, though, so hard to really take issue with it.

And I’m not saying Reservoir Dogs is satire. I think it’s embryonic Tarantino, before he learned to reel in his impulses to shock.
I’m saying Tarantino would probably argue that it is commentary because it sounds better than the truth.


Anyway, I think most of his movies actually have a fair amount of social commentary, so I’m not really sure what the Natural Born Killers remark was about but oh well. Haven’t seen it in forever.

Saw Captain Marvel today. Pretty fun, did all it set out to do, made me really want to listen to Pretty Hate Machine again

Same. I seem to remember quite liking it but not being blown away, and can't remember hardly any of it now. One to put on the re-watch list.

[!@#$%!]

true romance: i liked it okay but i think tony scott’s directorial aesthetic didn’t quite gel with the story

What?

I mean, that came out wrong, but you know what I mean.

You set a movie in an era when people used the N-word and other racial slurs in their casual vernacular, and, what are you gonna do? Pretend those words weren’t part of everyday speech?

Tarantino is not the only filmmaker by a long shot to do this.

He’s one of the few white filmmakers to do it with movies about white peoples set in the fucking ‘90s though.

Well, I’m not arguing with you. I don’t think.

Just saying... well... actually I don’t think Tarantino’s a racist or anything. Not more than the average person anyway. I think he fetishizes black culture (and Asian culture, Italian culture, Hispanic culture) and doesn’t really know how to process it. Also he fancies himself a provocateur, but he’s probably really just a very imature person with low key Tourette’s.

Still love almost all of his movies, though. Not nuts about the man, but the movies are good.

He’s a child, of course.

I'm assuming it's pretty redundent saying anything about how great this is. I mean everyone here agrees it's at least pretty great, right?
