ONCE UPON A TIME IN HOLLYWOOD - Official Trailer (HD)

[Steve Williams]

As I said this is not a typical QT film

She actually liked this film but the one she actually did walk out of was David Lynch’s Blue Velvet in 1986 yet she and I were both hooked on his Twin Peaks.

That would be good for Quentin to make Romance films. Just for a change of paste.
I don't know how predisposed for the genre he could get into, but I think he can.
A remake of Gone With the Wind?

Hopefully he’s moved on from racist rants and gore

QT is not your normal director Bob. Reality is that the number of cameos he has with each film continues to increase. His stars and costars are the creme de la creme and his movies make a lot of money.

To refresh your memory Bob, this thread is a review of Once Upon A Time In Hollywood not about what you've dug up on the internet about QT

 

[jazdoc]

I really enjoyed the film.

Bob

Start your own thread please

Looks like a good one

 

[BlueFox]

Haven't seen it yet, but will get it on BR. I have most (all) of his movies on BR, and love them.

we might not all like QT or just like some of his films but not all but lets not forget why actors are lining up for cameo roles and what the big actors are getting paid. The innuendo about him and his films are such that I say don't watch them if he offends you. He has no problems with studios funding his movies because they make a fortune.I have seen all of his films and they are truly unique. This latest however IMO was the most timid of all of his films with a "once upon a time" ending

My wife would never normally go to a QT movie because of some of the violence but came along as she knew I wanted to see it but with the agreement she can walk out if she is offended. . Well not only did she stay until the end but actually liked the film and left the theater stating "if the real ending only happened that way". BTW my wife is my barometer when it comes to opinions on movies we see together.

The man sees thing in ways none of us conceive. He has written every one of his screenplays and he claims that he will only do 10 films. This was his 9th.


Just in case you've forgotten.........

I saw this movie yesterday and I have to say it's my favorite QT movie. I grew up watching all of these cop and western TV shows with my grandfather. This movie was all about nostalgia, nostalgia for 1960's Hollywood. Movies, TV shows, cars, restaurants....you name it.

It was long but I never got board. Amazing.

 

[Steve Williams]

I must admit Jeffrey that it is is my favorite as well. I was waiting for the obvious anticipated ending and was gobsmacked by the turn of events. As I’ve stated my wife is not a QT fan but she liked the movie and commented that if only it really had ended this way.

 

[Steve Williams]

The next question is “will number 10 be his last as he promised “

I love the "revenge porn" movies that QT has made. Who wouldn't love to shoot a MP40 into Adolf Hitler, who wouldn't love to blow up a plantation with dynamite, and who wouldn't love to burn Susan Atkins with a flame thrower!

Love it.

My son who is in the film business is a huge fan for that very reason. He calls him a “history changer”

A little classier than my term...that's for sure.

I read an interview w Leo where he says that as a result of making the film he has been immersing himself in old/vintage films, nothing new.

And decrying the possible death of cinema accelerated by streaming/crossover mkts.

Isn't QT one of a handful of directors like Spielberg who is dead set against the dilution of the cinema experience via the crossover of films and tv?

Like Leo, I watched a couple of old movies last night on BBC America TV. Both were James Bond movies - From Russia with Love (1963) and Goldfinger (1964).

The special effects pale in comparison to today's movies and what passed for sexy seems quite tame in comparison as well. However, I found both films entertaining and fun to watch.

 

[spiritofmusic]

WLVCA, compare those films to Daniel Craig's SPECTRE, and you have an almost perfect example of what is so poor in today's cinema. I'm almost nervous to see this new film if it provokes too much nostagia.

Nothing today even starts to compare to the fantastic era of cinema that started coming to an end in the mid/late 70s. This film could confirm that for sure.

The best old films to watch are the ones with the least effects, those made good purely direction, acting, etc

 

[jeff1225]

If you want to see the best of special effects before computers, I highly recommend John Carpenter's The Thing. It's the absolute pinnacle of stop motion and puppetry.

Back to Once Upon a Time. Minimal effects and maximum acting.
