December 23, 20196 yr Yep. I rewatched it over the weekend, as well. Even better than I remember it, and I really liked it the first time. Also rewatched the Hal Needham documentary. So much of the feel of his and Burt's relationship is in "Once Upon a Time". Edited December 23, 20196 yr by Deej
December 23, 20196 yr Not getting the love for this one. Acting and script are top notch. Didn’t like the ending at all.
December 24, 20196 yr Saw last night and enjoyed it. Minor details were awesome (radio, TV, streets, clothes) the monologue by McQueen was cool and the cgi for the great escape was cheesy but I approve, as well as for watching movie.

The Great Escape scene irked me. At best it’s fan service. What does Rick/Leo look like in that movie? OMG he did it! At worst it’s a throwaway scene. Tarantino has said before The Great Escape is his favorite film. I guess it was a respectful nod and fan service. I have no issue with the Bruce Lee scene. It establishes Cliff as a bad ass which definitely comes up in the climatic scene.
December 24, 20196 yr Whatever flaws this, or any of his other movies may have, his films actually get me out to the theater.

December 25, 20195 yr Bought it when it was available. First watch, I was "distracted" and had a little trouble following it. Watched it the next day and loved it. The flame thrower at the end was a really nice exclamation point on the finale. Edited December 25, 20195 yr by dcbc
December 27, 20195 yr Watched it over the Holidays. Fucking loved it. Loved the end. Cliff Booth: And you were on a horsey! Yeah... you are? Tex: I'm the Devil. And I'm here to do the Devil's business. Cliff Booth: ...Nah, it was dumber than that. Something like Rex.

December 30, 20195 yr Loved Leo freaking the fuck out when screeching girl came through the window, etc.
January 4, 20205 yr Not knowing the Manson Tate story pretty much robs the viewer of the tension the movie is built around I would think. Sort of like missing the whole point. So I just watched this movie, and had somehow avoided hearing what it was about. Therefore it was well into it before I realized where it was going and I was suddenly hit with this feeling of dread. “Sharon Tate, that name sounds familiar. Can’t recall why. Who’s this Charlie guy ohhhhhhhh shiiiiiit.” It actually made for an incredibly enjoyable experience. I fucking loved it. But then again Inglorious Basterds is maybe my favorite QT movie ever and this was the spiritual part II. Pitt and DiCaprio absolutely killed it. Great film.
January 4, 20205 yr Pussycat was played by Margaret Qualley. She’s been in “Fosse/Verdon” and “The Leftovers”. She’s also Andie McDowell’s daughter. She was also in one of the absolute best movies of the last decade: The Nice Guys (in fact if you liked this movie you should see The Nice Guys). Further thoughts:As Stuckmann pointed out: the Bruce Lee scene was a 9 minute flashback to sell a single joke. No one but QT could pull that off. Loved the little nod to From Dusk Til Dawn: “Ok pig killers: let’s kill some pigs.”So cool that Uma Thurman’s daughter got a part. And the stunt girl from Deathproof. Memorable line: “When it’s the end of the road for friend who’s more than a brother but quite a wife, getting blind drunk is the only way to go out.” or WTTE. Seemed like an instant classic line. Margot Robbie is absolute train smoke.
January 4, 20205 yr some really good gifs that will be joining the arsenal from this movie. And just a pic of Margot Smoke Show Edited January 4, 20205 yr by Trey3216
January 4, 20205 yr *Hot take alert* Leo was better than Brad and no one wants to give him credit, because?! I guess Brad hasn't been good since Fury/The Big Short and he needs a win? Both are great, but Leo's scenes are better. I guess Brad gets the nod because he invokes McQueen and takes his shirt off? I've been a bit surprised by the reception. Brad: OMG GOAT performance! Leo: cool he's in this movie, good for him. I guess this is the only drawback of starring in so many good films?

January 4, 20205 yr yeah, i cant tell who bill is arguing with? that hot take seems to be unanimous on this thread lol

January 15, 20205 yr So I finally watched this movie on a plane, talk about a waste of fucking time. It was the most watchable Tarantino movie since Pulp Fiction however. I hope he sticks to his promise to retire after 10 movies.
January 15, 20205 yr Oooh, this doesn't sound like the usual mindless, boring, getting-to-know you chit-chat.

It's pretty simple. LDC got his Oscar a few years ago. Pitt needs his and this is his year. He's in a category full of a bunch of spares so he should run away with it.* *Only serious about the last 6 words of this sentence.
January 17, 20205 yr I also just saw it on a plane and thought it was possibly QT’s finest work. Also, team Brad all the way. That role was made for him.
January 17, 20205 yr On 1/4/2020 at 8:41 AM, Buzzrock said: He’s Brad Fucking Pitt, and don’t you forget it. Ha... So Brad Pitt and Leo were just on the WTF podcast and Leo talked about how Pitt ad libbed that "Rick Fucking Dalton" line. Pitt then talked about how he came up with that because at some point in the mid 90s he was bummed out feeling sorry for himself for one reason or another and one his drivers or "hangers on" or whatever said that him.

First part of that interview, when they were talking about buying art, reminded me of the first minute and last 30 seconds of this clip.... Edited January 17, 20205 yr by tantric superman
January 17, 20205 yr great lines...my favorite was at the end when brad was tripping... "wait, i know you...i met you...you had a funny name." "i am satan and i am here to do satan things." "no, it was dumber than that." "tex!!"
January 17, 20205 yr The scene where Pitt and leo were watching TV and every comment was about the framing of the shot or the camera work cracked me up for some reason. Just 2 guys talking shop.
January 17, 20205 yr I have to admit, I would have had a real problem with watching this on a plane. Planes are the worst places to watch movies, right behind movie theaters and anywhere with my wife. I thought 75% of the greatness of this movie was based completely on one's expectations. I was on pins and needles the whole damn movie waiting for shit to happen. Pretty great to make a suspense movie out of something that you know the story to. The Brad Pitt scene at the ranch -- going up the steps, in through the house, was just outstanding.
January 20, 20205 yr On 1/16/2020 at 9:23 AM, SuingToGetAMessageBoard? said: the guy playing cards and lighting a cigarette in the saloon is a quiet cameo by mace windu.
January 21, 20205 yr So apparently the Lee family is suing Tarantino for slander and something else? Good luck with that i guess.
January 21, 20205 yr i've been in a few licensing meetings with shannon lee. everyone else in the meeting who worked for their company was pulling in the same direction. except shannon lee. suit will probably end up better for the movie than for her.

Yeah i hear she's very............ dedicated i guess you could say, at protecting her late fathers image. Seems petty to me but that wasn't my dad.
