Dazey Posted January 9, 2013 Share Posted January 9, 2013 He went fot the OTT ending. The Australian scene was straight out of Monty Python.I just think the last 45 minutes could have done with a trim but I can't quite think where I would have cut it.

wasted Posted January 9, 2013 Share Posted January 9, 2013 You could say it disnt hang togwther too well. The momentum gets punctured a lot. Its like his violent/comedy thing but it was period drama scene/ridic action scene. Like Rodriguez action scene. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dazey Posted January 9, 2013 Share Posted January 9, 2013 I think they could have spliced the last two big gun battles into one and cut the Aussie bit completely and it would have been tighter. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wasted Posted January 9, 2013 Share Posted January 9, 2013 Hes always been pretty generous without having much of a story. I mean Dogs its just a heist gone wrong. Pulp ive never worked out what actially happened. Marcelius wants his briefcase back. Even Django why did they have this plan why not just kill everyone to begin with.

PappyTron Posted January 9, 2013 Share Posted January 9, 2013 I didn't think that the writing was particularly tight - no stand out, memorable phrases. Moreover, the film just felt a little on the flat side - Fox/Foxx/Foxxx(how many Xs are there?) didn't feel as though he had much weight to him and Waltz's speech patterns were 100% the same as Hans Landa which, cool as Waltz is, just felt like a retread.

wasted Posted January 9, 2013 Share Posted January 9, 2013 It's true the Tarantinoisms were more subtle, there were no drawing squares or dialogue that sounded like it came from QT himself - I think that's a good thing. Somehow how the comedy was more subtle, basically there's this nazi riding through the mud with a black dude in the deep south. There were no really cheesy one liners or trying really hard to be a badass speeches like The Bride did. It was almost a comedy of manners. Was there a foot massage motherfucker?Has the era of motherfucker passed? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Axl_morris Posted January 11, 2013 Share Posted January 11, 2013 Love this interview, QT tell's it like it is!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zint Posted January 12, 2013 Share Posted January 12, 2013 I absolutely loved it to bits! I thought it was the best thing he's done since Jackie Brown. It was just fantastic although thats probably got a lot to do with it being like, a take on one of my favorite genres (westerns). Liked it a whole lot better than Inglorious. It was just great, it was engrossing, no part of it dragged, just totally had my attention the whole way through. Inglorious always seemed to me to be a very elaborate telling of a story that just didn't really hold my interest. Death Proof i thought was cool, Kill Bill was cool too although again sort of a case of not ever so interesting story to warrant the sort of length of it, Dogs is fuckin' undeniable as are Fiction and JB but this was fuckin' brilliant too, i mean i really really loved it They used the fucking theme tune from the original Django, it was so cool Story was nothing the same though, really did love it to bits though, been ages since i really enjoyed a Tarantino movie.I thought Samuel L Jacksons character sort of stole the show. Was really cool though, wanna go have a butchers in the cinema. And yeah, it owes more than a little to Mandingo and The Boss N**** Trilogy, Legend of N***** Charley, Boss N****** and The Soul of N***** Charley.It's the only time i've ever seen a modern western i had any kinda respect for (though on a different level) since Unforgiven.I really enjoy westerns too len and I finally saw this last night. I agree with you a lot on this. What a great movie experience. Man it seemed like an hour passed and it was over. It was so cool to see QT take the western genre and pull it right out of its comfort zone and whack it upside the head as only he can.What a disturbing, uncomfortable amazing ride that was...holy shit!Dicaprio wasn't everything he was being hyped to be in this, but he was good.The only aspect that sort of drew up out of the total immersion into the movie was QT showing up for a role, kinda took me out of the experience.At least he blowed up reeeal good..lol.Definitely will be getting the blu steelbook of this!

wasted Posted January 12, 2013 Share Posted January 12, 2013 Having seen it a few more times its the dialogue that really works. Like mandingo fight scene or when they first get to Candyland. I think the only way Pulp is better is just the scemes are tighter. Maybe its bcos he was just starting and didnt have the power to indulge. When you pack all his ideas in tight they have more impact. Since Kill Bill hes been cold lounging. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bacardimayne Posted January 12, 2013 Share Posted January 12, 2013 Finally got around to seeing this (despite having the avatar for a few days now). Good movie, but I thought it was a bit heavy on the revenge fantasy shit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
estrangedtwat Posted January 14, 2013 Share Posted January 14, 2013 Finally saw it....wanted to wait til I could see it at a matinee without a load of rowdy theater-goers.Loved it. Masterpiece! QT does it again! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PappyTron Posted January 14, 2013 Share Posted January 14, 2013 Waltz was playing Landa from the other side, Foxx was flat and didn't feel torn up, Samuel L Jackson was just Samuel L Jackson and Leo was a bit....lightweight. I really don't get what all of the fuss is about, especially people thinking that Waltz deserves another Oscar. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nobodys_Fault Posted January 14, 2013 Share Posted January 14, 2013 I don't think it detracted anything. Equally enjoyable role as in Reservoir Dogs and Pulp Fiction IMO.He was terrible in Pulp Fiction and Resorvoir Dogs too. In fact he's terrible every time he appears on screen. I'd agree completely with Zint, it detracted somewhat from the scene. The accent he was attempting was atrocious.That aside I thought it was a great film. Really silly at times but I was expecting 'Tarantino does a western' and that's what I got. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wasted Posted January 14, 2013 Share Posted January 14, 2013 Im pretty sure that the Australian scene is a homage to Sukiyaki Western Django. Also the blood splatter on the flowers. Some of the scenary shots early on had japanese feel like the steaming river. Im sure the klan hood scene was lifted from Fletch 2. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ColdHeartBreaker Posted January 14, 2013 Share Posted January 14, 2013 Love this interview, QT tell's it like it is!!!Are you kidding?He comes off as a real idiot here.

Roush Posted January 14, 2013 Share Posted January 14, 2013 Eh, mixed feelings on the interview. Although, there definitely was an intention to create the clichéd "violence in cinema" discussion (ad infinitum.) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wasted Posted January 14, 2013 Share Posted January 14, 2013 Even watching the movie I thought he's really trying to make the violence real. It pretty dead pan, there's no staggering clutching your heart like in Naked Gun. And those splosh sounds as the bullets enter really emphasize that blood is a liquid at first. It's like he laid the ground work for the eventual debate. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Estranged Reality Posted January 31, 2013 Share Posted January 31, 2013 it's not only tarantino's newest movie - it's about to become his highest-grossing, as well. it'll end up with close to $400 mil worldwide, if not more. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
