OT: Once Upon A Time In Hollywood trailer. Looks great.
- Thread starter Judge Smails
- Start date
Its too bad Burt Reynolds died before he could play the owner of the Spahn ranch. The movies is getting great reviews in Cannes.
94% early Tomatometer. “Restrained” is the word that caught my eye.
Just because it showed up beneath the clip above on my youtube feed, Naomi Scott is adorable.

Really excited for this - keep reading it’s his best film since Inglorious Basterds and a complete love letter to LA. DiCaprio was originally going to be cast as Hans Landa but a conflict forced him out of IB (and that worked out since we all got Christoph Waltz instead). But he was amazing in Django Unchained and getting he and Pitt together is going to be a ton of fun. Robbie as Sharon Tate is icing on the cake and though I totally trust QT, I was a bit disappointed to hear she doesn't have a lot of lines in the film since I think QT writes amazing women, but am really excited to see QT's version of 1969 Hollywood. I'll add that I'm a huge fan of Damon Herriman (who plays Charles Manson in the film) - he was great as the doofy Dewey Crowe in Justified and he looks exactly like Manson.
Also, if you check the IMDB to see the cast it's stunning - Damien Lewis, Timothy Olyphant, Kurt Russell, Al Pacino, Dakota Fanning, Bruce Dern, Michael Madsen, Tim Roth, Emile Hirsch, and James Marsden are all in the cast. Have to wonder if he snuck Samuel L. Jackson in there somewhere...
I agree that he can create a film that looks great. I just find his writing terrible. His scripts are like Stephen A. Smith, nothing but rhetorical masturbation. Would like to see what he could do with someone else's script.
I would hope so. The Sharon Tate and Labianca murders are bad enough without having to over dramatize them.
Really looking forward to this
I'm with you. I really liked Pulp Fiction, but haven't liked anything else he's done since. Just too over the top for me. Strays too far from reality, in both the violence and the dialogue.
Michael Clayton, Syriana, Confessions of A Dangerous Mind....that's the genre of movie I appreciate the most.

Different strokes and all - his writing is what most folks think he’s best at. This is one of my all time favorite QT scenes and it helps that Walken and Hopper bring their A games...

Jackie Brown is the only one of his films with an adapted screenplay. It’s by far my favorite QT film, and his best, in my opinion.
Interesting point on his writing since Pulp Fiction. I tend to agree, but always thought I was in the minority of that opinion. I still liked most of his movies, but nothing has quite been up to the very high level of the True Romance / Reservoir Dogs / Pulp Fiction trio imo. Those 3 are all-timers for me, though. Looking forward to this new one in July.
50 years since 1969... wow. Certainly one of the most interesting and eventful and memorable years in the US in my lifetime from both a cultural and political view. And the music from that year alone is reason enough to label the entire genre "classic rock".
So, George Clooney movies....?
It's early! My brain isn't functioning well enough to dig for more movies....Miller's Crossing, Zodiac, Boogie Nights, Munich, True Grit, Rushmore....
It was Luke Perry's last movie. Both Pitt and DiCaprio said they were "in awe of him" when they met him on set. When they were growing up, Perry was the epitome of cool with the whole Beverly Hills 90210 thing and both admired him. In fact everyone seemed to say he was a decent down to earth guy.
Oh, yeah, fabulous. Robert Forster and Pam Grier together, what a pair. As usual in QT flicks, the supporting cast is splendid, with Robert DeNiro playing against type.

Talk about 'restraint'. He really keeps it tight with one or two QT moments (and I don't know that I've ever seen Bridget Fonda look so good). Wonderful stuff from Grier, Forster, and DeNiro too.

Agree. The dialogue in Inglorious Bastards, Jackie Brown and Pulp Fiction was great.
Its a tough call for me Jackie Brown and Inglorious Bastards and Pulp Fiction are all tied at #1.
Agree. And I forgot about the whole Terry Melcher/Manson connection until they were talking about the passing of Doris Day.

Man, the card game in France in IB is an all-timer. The tension builds and builds and builds. And he's navigating French, English, and a few different German dialects. That film was my introduction to Michael Fassbender - he's just so good. I typically think German is a harsh language but Diane Kruger speaks it so soft and ladylike here it's one of my favorite parts of the film. The rest of this scene is awesome if you want to find it (or better yet, watch the movie).
this is one of mine...
and I know we were talking dialogue and I don't think the Kill Bill's are really great with that but I love those 2 movies.

I really love the Kill Bill films - they may be over the top QT indulgences but there are a ton of great scenes and the music is wonderful.
One of my favorite scenes - Sonny Chiba is awesome - 'My Engrish bedddy gooood!!' Love it.
Great list. Zodiac is so good. The use of Donovan’s Hurdy Gurdy Man in that lovers lane scene creeps me out.
Dang. I generally don't love the British accent, but it sounds fantastic on her. She is beyond a cutie.
Talk about restrained, the last scene with Forster and Grier together, just perfect. Could not have been better.Talk about 'restraint'. He really keeps it tight with one or two QT moments (and I don't know that I've ever seen Bridget Fonda look so good). Wonderful stuff from Grier, Forster, and DeNiro too.
