    Tarantino divides opinion like most great directors

    I quite liked Death Proof despite it being panned , preferred it to Django Unchained

    The first half of Death Proof was great, until Tracie Thoms' character made me despise it overall and never watch it again. Django is much better.

    found myself watching Jackie Brown again lately , great movie , Pam Grier is a terrific woman , no wonder Max Cherry was speechless throughout much of the movie

    Haven't bought the book, but he was on Marc Maron's podcast discussing it, and his life in general, if anyone is interested.

    I bought it this evening - god knows when I’ll get to actually read it though, the pile of unread books in my wardrobe just keeps growing!

    I love the podcast he did with Brad & Leo about the film. Great to hear them all chatting about the film industry and Marc losing the plot halfway through was so funny.

    Absolutely. Listened to it again there the other day and it’s still as funny as I remembered. They weren’t in his usual studio as he had travelled to chat to them after they did a Q&A in a theatre and he wasn’t having a good time with the mobile set up!

    Well sheeeet. Had avoided watching this movie because of how gruesome the ending was supposed to be, considering Sharon Tate was nearly full term and knew the story... Eventually plucked up the courage to watch it, considered skipping fast through the expected end scene... Q the gorey bit and I laughed myself silly. Brilliant ending.

    That was a great watch, it was our family film last night. Know next to nothing about the Manson story and didnt know any spoilers about this film, so overall the ending was great and very Tarantino , if he can kill Hitler in Inglorious Bastards he can crate a righteous ending in this one 9/10

    This film is not in same class as Pulp Fiction, Reservoir Dogs, Django Unchained, Inglorious Basterds, Hateful 8, Kill Bills or Jackie Brown.

    It's more of a completely different tone than all the others, and if anything, one of his classiest. Pure postmodern self-indulgent story-telling, of the highest calibre.

    I wouldn't put those in the same class as each other either tbh though. Reservoir Dogs, Pulp Fiction, and Jackie Brown are a cut above.

    He's changed as he's aged, and gotten interested in more hyper-stylized filmmaking. No harm in that, it's good for filmmakers (or artists of any kind) to keep exploring new things, though I think he loses sight of the grounded characters he used to make at times amidst all the style.

    The Kill Bill's were like the bridge between his original style and what followed, and Once Upon A time... is almost him circling back around and bringing some more in-depth character beats back into a very style-heavy film.

    I'd have liked if there was a more focused narrative though (or, I guess, a narrative through-line that didn't end up on the cutting room floor as seemed to happen with Tim Roth's storyline). Feels like what he wanted to achieve would've maybe fit an anthology series format better.
