NC, some waffles. Surprised me and for the better.

Fake?

New Tarantino film. Caught a late showing last night. 80% of it was, at the core, a weirdly beautiful ode to friendship, I thought. And losers. An ode to a couple of fucking losers. Then things, uh, change. Not crap, major waffles. Better than the last couple movies he made, if only because it takes its time and lingers in ways that aren't super obvious. LA is still a gorgeous backdrop for film. The sun does something weird out there right around dusk.

I really enjoyed it a lot. I found The Hateful Eight to be unpleasant. This one had a real affection for its characters, and just letting them breathe- watching them do their thing. I liked that, and it's not something he's done since Jackie Brown.My favorite scene was Leo explaining the western novel he's reading to the little girl and breaking down in tears.I've never felt the need to call someone 'pumpkin puss' before!

Well-acted with great production design and atmosphere, but also meandering, silly horseshit.CRAP.

Many Waffles may as well be the title or subtitle for anything evaluating Tarantino.

ugh let s bastardize sharon tate because when guys with power and ability think of Hollywood they think they can capture something that s relevant to what they re currently creating... seems like another tarantino masterbation fest and he absolument did NOT do justice casting margo easy robie as sharon tate, for effs sake he would ve done better with katrina bowden, sharen tate had twiggy eyes and all the sex appeal of valley of the dolls...you don t just make a hard on leo is still relevant brad pitt is still relevant trying too hard to be cool flickeand decide to fit in a girl and let margo robie be the girl and pretend it has anything to do with sharon tate you original fanboy eff!!!

I keep hearing this film has "got an ending" and so I gotta assume it is all building up to something stupid like Inglorious Basterds, whereupon Quentin Tarantino smokes too much reefer and goes into a reverie about some tough heroic fantasy version of himself changing the course of history. And if that is the case, what a dink.Maybe I'm wrong?

This thread is about the new Tarantino film.

I thought it was great, my favorite Tarantino since Basterds, and easily my favorite Leo performance to date. I knew there was going to be something w/ the ending so it was not totally unexpected, but I was surprised how much the first 2+ hours are just a hang with very little actual plot.NEW TARANTINO RANK1.
