Ya, he's insane. Not my favorite Tarantino film, but it's in the top 3 for sure.

Havent seen Hateful Eight, any good?

Also, Pulp Fiction is not overrated, at least in my opinion. :blink:


You have to be in the right kind of mood for it. It's a fairly slow movie, and a lot of people don't feel that the payoff is worth the buildup. I loved every minute of it, I thought the dialogue was perfect, and I enjoyed seeing some new faces in a Tarantino film, since he does like using the same people over and over. Kurt Russell was phenomenal, was was everyone else in it. Go into it knowing that you need to be prepared to enjoy a lot of just back and forth between people without a lot of action. About 80% of the film takes places in a single room, and another 10% takes place of it in a horse drawn carriage. I love it, but it's one of those love or hate movies for most people, and I think a lot of the hate is just from people going into it expecting something like Inglorious, Django, or Kill Bill.

Se7en (1995) & The Usual Suspects (1995). I didn't expect much but two great ones imo. Although they made Pitt's character too dumb in Seven.

don't get me wrong, I think it's a great movie and that Samuel L Jackson was especially good but I just don't think it's one of the best movies of all time like a lot of people hype it up to be

I also don't think hateful eight is on the australian netflix, ill have a look though cause i remember liking it when i saw it in the movies

How could you not expect much from those movies?

If you're on a Tarantino fix right now, I suggest you check out True Romance. It's easily my favorite movie by him, and possibly my #1 of all time. It's one of the few movies he wrote, but didn't direct. The last time he did that, he hated the finished project, so I doubt it'll ever happen again, but he was pleased with how this one turned out. It's got an insane cast. Christian Slater, Patricia Arquette, Dennis Hopper, Christopher Walken, James Gandolfini, Gary Oldman, Sam Jackson, Brad Pitt, Tom Sizemore, Chris Penn, and Michael Rappaport. There may be some others, but that's everyone I can remember off the top of my head, and I think that's about it for people you should know, or you might know.

Well it depends. If you are a Tarantino fan you will probably like it. But if you are expecting a Django/Inglorious Bastards type flick, its not like that at all in terms of action. Its a slow starter, but the dialogue is fantastic. If you enjoy the way Tarantino writes and creates that interaction between characters, this is a entire movie of top tier dialogue. He has those great segments of dialogue in all his films, but this is like that the entire time. Similar to Death Proof but better. It has other Tarantino moments in it too, with a Reservoir Dogs type ending.

Like I said, if you are a fan of him chances are you will like it. Just dont expect a Django sequal

QT is a master of dialogue

I'm so hyped for his new film
