[QUOTE=BWillie;14356217]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.[/QUOTE]

Between his acting skills, great movies he made and the incredible poon he gets, the dude is LEGEND! :-)

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.

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.

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.

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.

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?

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.

I think he needed more body guards.

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:
