    Tarantino had a heated exchange with some press today over violence to the female characters

    I presume ever since he stormed out during the Django junket (Channel 4 news interviewer wasn't it?), the press are hoping to poke the tiger a little. From what I recall of the Django one, Tarantino was a little petulant...

    Actually, having watched the video, that was a pretty bizarre question, obviously angling for some "why you no have a bigger part Margot, sexism??". Robbie answered it very diplomatically, Tarantino instead going for the direct approach.

    Looks like a potential top 5 Taratino film. Awesome.

    A few people saying it the closest thing he's done to Pulp Fiction

    Not saying a lot. Another movie that has dated quite a bit once the initial sheen wears off. Probably more of the same here, with dazzling visuals and highly insubstantial plotting as Tarantino continues his relentless quest to be hip.

    I'd like to see Tarantino win another one but it looks to be a particularly strong line up this year.

    What an eye-roll of a question. Clearly an agenda holder looking for something to kick off with. It's not as if Tarantino hasn't given us iconic/lead female characters - Mia Wallace, The Bride, Jackie Browne, etc.

    Just as well that lady didn't turn up at the Shawshank Redemption press conference.

    Some reviews seem to be leaning into it being Tarantino's most wistful, personal movie; which would track with what we've seen given its setting.

    It's a real Hollywood nepotism affair too, with at least four famous daughters: Margaret Qualley (Andie MacDowell's daughter), Maya Hawke (daughter of Uma Thurman and Ethan Hawke), Harley Quinn Smith (daughter of Kevin Smith), and Rumer Willis (daughter of Bruce). Quentin's wife Daniella Pick is there, and if their kids aren't involved, it's because they don't have any. I'm surprised he doesn't have at least a cameo himself. :p

    From out there on the moon, international politics look so petty. You want to grab a politician by the scruff of the neck and drag him a quarter of a million miles out and say, ‘Look at that, you son of a bitch’.

    From initial observation of the costumes of Pitt and DiCaprio they seem anachronistically inaccurate. More like a 1969 version of Starsky and Hutch. S & H were not even accurate in their own time, by all accounts. A parody of a parody; perhaps?
    Starsky and Hutch and Charles Manson. Now thats a thing.

    Showing in good old film at the Lighthouse :) Here’s hoping for a 70mm screening at the IFI somewhere along the line.

    Dunno if its me or if theres been a bit of a dip in really good films the last couple of years, but Once upon a time in Hollywood is the first movie in a long time where Im ridiculously excited to see it. Reviews seem to be good though and by all accounts its a return to form for Tarantino.

    Looking forward to it, big QT fan but for some strange reason I have yet to watch Hateful 8. It's there on Netflix, ready to go, and I started it one evening but lasted about 5 minutes.

    I wasn't big into Django either, I guess I just don't like "westerns". Inglourious Basterds is the real benchmark for me, a movie I can (and will) watch countless times.

    Don't do it to yourself would be my advice. Both desperate.

    Haven't seen Hateful 8 but Django Unchained is absolutely brilliant and in his top3 for me.

    And I prefer Hateful 8 to Django by a huge margin.

    In conclusion: Don't listen to other peoples opinions when it comes to QT. The responses to his films have always been polarising, which is a sign of a really good director imo.

    Watch them all for yourself and make up your own mind. There is no general concencus when it comes to his stuff. Everyones top 10 is different.
