Damn getting stoked about this, looking forward to it. Now im doing a Mini Tarantino Marathon. Was really hoping for a 70mm showings or a 70mm Roadshow, this setting would be perfect for it. Also if not 70mm what did QT do with all those projectors he refurbished for the Hateful Eight roadshow?

One of Kennedy's body guards was former football player and 'fearsome foursome' member of the Rams Rosey Grier, in the photo top left.



I can remember the day RFK died, because that was the day I graduated from St. Petersburg High School, June 6, 1968.



The summer of 1969 I worked the grill at Billy's Famous Subs, my cousin, on the boardwalk in Ocean City Maryland. Located on the Atlantic shore. 150 miles from Baltimore. For four months I had no TV, this is before cable, one radio station. I never even heard of Woodstock until the movie came out a year later. I did go see Gone with the Wind, it was playing continuously at the only local theater. At that time, only a 1,000 people lived all year in Ocean City, but on the 4th of July it was 200,000. Today they'll have up to 350,000 in OC in the summer.

In other words, RFK ate his last meal with two of the victims of the alleged Manson family, the director of Rosemary's Baby - a movie about Satanic ritual - and another director who made the Manchurian Candidate - a movie about mind contro and assassinating the President - basically a movie based on the assassination of JFK, two years before JFK was assassinated. This was his company in the final hours of his life before he was killed, reputedly by a victim of mind control, someone who had been a part of MKUltra. Sharon Tate's father, incidentally, was a Colonel in Army Intelligence from 1946 to 1969...

Fun movie. Most of you guys will appreciate it.

Some of you won't.

Looking forward to coming back to this thread after some of you have seen it.

I had tickets to the first show in the area tomorrow but now life has gotten in the way and I’ll have to see it on Friday. :-)
[Reply]

How would you rank it compared to QTs other movies?

[Reply]

I'm not going to see it until a week from Saturday.

I do have one question for OTWP - you can answer in spoiler tags, PM, rep comment, whatever:


[Reply]

Sent you the answer in rep.
[Reply]

Wow...tough question because I don't want to spoil anything or give people any ideas before going to see it.

I'll say different.

It's more personal and heartfelt than anything he's ever done, IMO. With that said, there are still plenty of easter eggs, excellent cameos and typical QT obsessions that are everywhere in the film.

If you're a huge QT fan, I think you'll LOVE this movie.

I wasn't alive during this time period, but I really FELT like I was in 1969 LA.

I’m a huge QT fan, so I’m sure I’ll like it

I think my fave movies of his are Inglorious Basterds, Jackie Brown and Kill Bill.

But really I like them all.

Saw some interviews with him where he talked about the movie being a love letter to his home town.
[Reply]

Definitely plays that way.
