Len Cnut Posted February 5, 2019 Share Posted February 5, 2019 Based on the Manson Murders right? Interesting choice of subject. I heard they got some chinese lad playing Bruce Lee in there, as he was a friend of Jay Sebring and Sharon Tate. Jay Sebring did Jim Morrison and Steve McQueens hair. The rumours are any number of other famous people were meant to be at Sharons house that night but for whatever reason didn't make it.

appetite4illusions Posted February 5, 2019 Share Posted February 5, 2019 I was wondering why most of his films since Kill Bill have not been what they should and I think I know why that is: Tarantino really personified the 90's. When they were over, his films became more imaginative, more fantastical, but not as good. It's no coincidence that his first three films were his best films and they were all about modern-day 90's Los Angeles. Tarantino understood that corner of the world in the same way Scorsese understood 1970's Manhattan. So it's interesting to me that he would go back to LA as a central character in his film. It really is more of his sandbox than Hong Kong or the French countryside. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Len Cnut Posted February 5, 2019 Share Posted February 5, 2019 Tarantino just makes films about films, thats why they feel so insubstantial. Oliver Stone said something similar about him back in the day. When you're a big fuckin' film geek as I am you see like...the range of the shit he refers to, it really is a fuckin' cut and paste collage of other shit. It amounts to this, when I wanna see Kung Fu I stick a Shaw Bros film on, not Kill Bill, when I wanna watch The Dirty Dozen I stick the Dirty Dozen on, not Inglorious Bastards, when I wanna watch blaxploitation even, and Jackie Brown is actually a good film, I fuckin' stick Three the Hard Way, The Mack or Superfly on. Dogs is fuckin' brilliant because, despite also being a Ringo Lam rip off, it takes certain set pieces but the idea of all these guys in that one enclosed place with a real time clock is just a brilliant one in terms of on screen tension. I think Death Proof was MASSIVELY underrated and a real return to form. His dialogue eventually gets problematic too...because whether its a bloke or a bird they all talk like Tarantino They're alright, they're not shit, they're enjoyable and I'll always love on thing about Tarantino in that, in my formative years, he was the person that made me realise that filmmakers didn't fall from the sky, you can just be someone who REALLY loves film and get it done, that was invaluable for me so he'll always hold a unique position in my affections. I agree with you @appetite4illusions that it'll be interesting to see him tackling LA again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wow so this movie might be based on some truth? Cool. So sad about the murder of Sharon and her unborn baby. So this is about Charles Manson and his crazy followers? I think I read that. I've watched so many shows about Manson and his crew and it annoys me every time. I can't believe how many stupid girls followed him and his crazy ideas. I guess drugs and sex made them easy targets. anyway, with Quentin directing this movie, you know it will be awesome! Loved The Hateful Eight so much.

He was a friend of Tate and Polanski. Steve McQueen probably is too, if Bruce makes it. A lot of famous people were supposed to be there that night but took a rain check for whatever reason. Now I think about it that would make a great Tarantino set piece, kinda like Jackie Brown where he shows the same scene from different perspectives. If Bruce had been there the Manson Family would’ve been fishing that .22 revolver out of Tex Watsons arse. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Had you not heard of em before, they did The Legend of Xanadu.

Apparently he recovered Eddies guitar from the scene and returned it to his family. Quote The only HH song I know is Mrs Brown and it’s shit!

I love films like Hateful Eight, limited setting and just purely driven by force of film craft and acting performances. I really like stagey things too and Hateful Eight is very stagey. Some of the best movies are like that, adapted plays like Streetcar or Cat on a Hot Tin Roof. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rocknroll41 Posted February 25, 2019 Share Posted February 25, 2019 (edited) It’s funny that the guy playing Manson in this film is the same guy who recently played him in the netflix series Mindhunter.

That thing though, the thing of striking the balance between artistically substantial and supremely entertaining, that apotheosis is like...the highest estate of cinema, to me. The reason I chose Dial M is it was literally a filmed version of the play. Hitchcock was in a bit of a jam at the time and he said to Truffaut that when that happens simply ''take a great play and film it - don't expand it''. John Williams and Anthony Dawson actually resumed their roles from Knott's play. It is one of Hitch's most economical films. One of his fixed location films, the other being Rear Window and Rope.

Powerage5 Posted March 21, 2019 Share Posted March 21, 2019 Looks great, can't wait for this one. There hasn't been a Tarantino film yet that I don't love, so of course my expectations are high. I'm glad he's stepping away from western films though, seeing as it's been a decade since we had a Tarantino film in another genre (And even then, there were some western influences present in Inglorious Basterds).
