Wait? What! We have several 70MM theatres here. I've seen his last two movies on 70MM. I thought he didn't film in 70MM for this movie?

I think there's only a handful of theaters showing it in 70mm.

I've heard this movie is fantastic.

I mean, if DiCaprio is in it, how can it be bad? The dude is going to go down as the best actor of all time.

I’ve successfully avoided spoilers so far. So this is speculation.....I’m sure Tarantino is going to play with history like he did in Bastards killing Hitler. Probably have Pitt kill Manson and save Tate or something to keep us guessing how he’ll end his next to last movie.

Or maybe since he already did that, he’ll play it straight with history? Anyone who has not seen spoilers can rarely predict a Tarantino plot in his movies.

If I had to venture a guess, I'd say that 'history' wanders in and out of this story aimlessly.

Manson, you'll meet at a farmer's market, then hear something on the car radio towards the end of the movie.

The Tate/LaBianca stuff will play out with cops and reporters blocking access to their own house, leading to a missed opportunity or change of plans.

That kind of thing. Could be dead wrong, too.

I just sense he's trying to tell a story of a working actor at the end of the studio era and the changing culture of LA, more than any specific historical events.

I remember hearing that Tate's sister gave her approval to the script. I doubt if she would have had it contained a graphic depiction of Sharon's death scene, which in reality was more horrible than anything even Tarantino could dream up. A pregnant woman begging for her baby's life stabbed 26 times? Fuck.

So I'm not expecting that to be in the movie. But you never know.

thats what everyone is saying. This is more about an homage to LA/Hollywood in the summer of 69. A slice of the cultural/social clash underway. A snapshot in time more than the violence in his previous films.

Every non spoiler review I’ve seen has said it’s his best movie ever. Better than Pulp Fiction? Rubs hands together..... can’t wait.

It’s a very, very, very, loose inspiration of Burt Reynolds (Rick Dalton) and Hal Needham (Cliff Booth) in the mid to late 60s. Burt was a struggling TV actor living with his best buddy Needham a stuntman.

Of course it’s all mixed up into the Tarantinoverse batter which is what he does best.

I guarantee pretty much nothing about the Tate murder will be factual. He’s been doing his revisionist history thing for awhile now.

Who did Robert Kennedy have dinner with the night he was assassinated?
(BTW - Sirhan Sirhan couldn't have fired the fatal shot.)
Anyone ever heard of MKUltra??

My three guesses would be:

1. Jackie O
2. Some famous politician still very prominent today
3. Some famous Hollywood starlet still round today
[Reply]

Why has this thread swerved into a conspiracy discussion about Kennedy. Is it a part of the movie? I've never heard that, so if it is a part of the movie, is this some spoiler?
