JohnOsbourne Posted June 3, 2021 Share Posted June 3, 2021 (edited) I actually happened to see this last weekend. I thought it was terrible (I'm not a Tarantino fan, FWIW). Way too long and too random. I really don't get all the fuss over it (although again, I've never understood all the fuss over Tarantino to begin with). I guess people still think it's edgy to say "fuck" in almost every sentence. Edited June 3, 2021 by JohnOsbourne Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For some reason she likes it (she does not like violent movies, and I'm pretty sure she's never seen things like Pulp Fiction), I'm guessing because of the two leads. By the time they killed the Manson followers, I was bored and wanted the whole thing to end, I couldn't even appreciate the over-the-top absurdity of the violence.

Good points John, movies with actual stories and character development are just silly. Next time, I suggest we talk about something more easily mentally digestible such as Ernest Scared Stupid or Babe, Pig in the City. Thoughts?

JohnOsbourne Posted June 5, 2021 Share Posted June 5, 2021 Anyone who thinks a Tarantino film is about "actual stories and character development" is proof positive that popular culture is thoroughly vapid. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kipper Posted July 26, 2021 Author Share Posted July 26, 2021 Tarrantino's new book "Once Upon A Time In Hollywood" is now out. It is a novelization of the film, with much more stuff in it than the film. Available in paperback I found it interesting that he insisted on paper back, dubbing it for "mass market" and priced at under $10. Very smart marketing really, I'm sure he will make more selling in quantity, than if he was selling $25 hardbook versions. Also if people are interested, the audio book of this is narrated by actress Jennifer Jason Leigh. https://www.amazon.com/Once-Upon-Time-Hollywood-Novel/dp/0063112523 Lastly for those who may be interested. Quentin Tarrantino was recently interviewed on the Joe Rogan show. For those who are fans of Tarrantino, or who are fans of Once Upon A Time in Hollywood, I strongly suggest you check it out. It has some really great stuff in the interview, and some candid details Tarrantino talks about over the film, his career, and other things. The podcast is nearly 3 hours, but I enjoyed all of it. Rogan did a great interview, and Tarrantino was very happy to answer all questions and then beyond add more info. His comments about actor Bruce Lee were great. Here is a link on youtube which is audio only. The Rogan interviews are now on spotify, but you would need an account, so youtube works better for many.
