QT had the potential to make an incredible movie based on a turbulent time in American history. Instead, he made a fairy tale and wasted a lot of great acting performances.
How many QT movies have you seen?
This is what he does. He makes fantasy films. Especially the ones ever since Kill Bill. He’s deep into revisionist history.
Cliff Booth is a fictional character so he can be as strong or as weak as the writer wants him to be. [Reply]
This movie was great. The last twenty minutes was the best and I consider Pitt the best part of this movie. The entire theater was cracking up with the last twenty minutes. It did drag a little but second half was great. [Reply]

I was reading something interesting yesterday. The movie assumes you know the basic facts of the Tate murder going in. If you don’t know then a viewer might be quite puzzled by the ending. The movie never really tells you much about Manson and his crew. [Reply]
If you're a fan of hard science fiction, then Robert L. Forward's Dragon's Egg may appeal to you.
It's the story of a race of intelligent beings living on the surface of a neutron star; the star is careening through the solar system at the time of the story. [Reply]
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]
