Not the QT fans I'm reading. They say it's boring with no plot. I have never seen Kill Bill all the way, it puts me to sleep. If you take a risk, you may lose. If you never take a risk, you will always lose. |

That will probably be okay then. I know Tarantino movies tend toward violence as I've seen many of them. It doesn't bother me, but she would rather see something else if there is too much. Deep State = sensible people trying to derail the sociopath |

Never saw it myself. In fact, of his 10 films, I’ve only seen four: Pulp Fiction, Inglorious Basterds, Reservoir Dogs, Once..... But they were all worth the experience. I could go either way with this one. You could convince me that it is a masterpiece. You could convince me that it is pointless. I’m most inclined to say that there is definitely something there, but I’m not sure it’s interesting enough for me. And I get it, the narrative isn’t the story, the story is what it felt like to live in L.A at the end of the ‘60s, and the changing of the guard from the hard living alcohol fueled culture of Rick and Cliff to the psychedelia of Tate and Polanski (and Manson and Watson). And how, at the ending, the two make a graceful transition. I enjoyed watching it, though. It was a hell of a lot better than that Beatle movie, that one stunk. (But the acting was great.) |

That Beatle movie stunk? The one called Yesterday? Man, I am sorry to hear that. I was really looking forward to it. Never doubt a small group of concerned citizens can change the world; it's the only thing ever has |

I liked it. I think I reviewed it in the movie thread. Hoping I cancel out mosca's bad review. Knowledge is Good -- Emil Faber |

rxwine Member since: Oct 24, 2012 Threads: 200 Posts: 20360 | I thought Mosca was talking about one of the Beatles' movies made back in the 1960s. Deep State = sensible people trying to derail the sociopath |

Those rocked. In the 60's, if you were high. If you take a risk, you may lose. If you never take a risk, you will always lose. |

We were really looking forward to it, too. And that’s not to say it doesn’t have some absolutely great moments, and the lead actors are incredibly charismatic and almost jump off the screen... but the movie itself is a letdown. I’d still recommend seeing it, but Netflix it. Then you can say, “Eh. But I’m glad I saw it. There were some good parts.” I think most of our disappointment come from that it could have been so much better. Quick resolution, cheap emotions, not giving away anything you couldn’t see coming from miles away. |
