Watched it last night by myself, as my kids were out of town and my wife was at work.
That may have been the most singularly enjoyable movie experience I can remember. What a great catharsis, especially after watching the second season of Mindhunter.
"Everybody all right?"
"Well...the fuckin'' hippies aren't; that's for goddamn sure."
When I saw the Lee-Cliff scene you know what I thought of? The Bruce Lee-Mike Tyson thread on here. It's clear that Tarantino and Cliff share my sentiments as well. [Reply]
I watched this yesterday and I'm still not sure what to make of it. Still processing everything and I may watch it a second time just to capture anything I might have missed first go around. He did however get in the "hot feet" scene with Margaret Qualley sticking her dirty feet all over the windshield.
Did I love it? Absolutely not
Did I hate it? Absolutely not
It was very strange in so many ways and unlike all the of the Tarantino movies I've seen.
I need to take a pass on rating it for the moment. [Reply]

I think that's a wise take.
I was scrupulous in avoiding being spoiled until I watched it.
There were many things I kind of expected, that I really really liked. There were many things that were unexpected that I didn't like as much, but as time passes I think I didn't like them as much because I didn't expect them, . . . and perhaps expected something else, perhaps more than them not being good ideas or excellent scenes.
I certainly have thought about it a lot, and that is promising. There is a lot to chew on, . . . far more than you register in the moment. [Reply]

Expanding on this, without overly spoiling until I'm sure we're in a spoiler space for this film . . . The most controversial unexpected development [we know the one], I wasn't on board with the execution of it as I watched, . . . but after a bit and thinking on the statement it was making, I'm nearly gobsmacked in the elegiac nature of the attempt. The portent of that, and what came after [both in the film and the imagination] nearly chokes me up reflecting on it. And once I got past the moment of experiencing it, I'm starting to come around on the execution as well. [Reply]

I disliked it right up until the car scene where the Tate murder stuff began. Everything before that was just weird... and some of it just flat out made me uncomfortable. [Reply]

seemed like a pretty standard Tarantino movie to me. His movies are weird. What exactly was “weirder” to you about this one? [Reply]
