god that's a bummer. i was SO EXCITED but he's allowed to do as he wishes. Shame that either Madsen or Dern are probably FORBIDDEN from working with him for a while

Actually he says later in the article that he still wants to write a big part for Dern in his next movie, which is kinda confusing.

I was looking forward to it but tbh I don't mind that he's gonna do something different now since he already did a Western with Django anyway. It'll be an even longer wait though which does suck

Saw it last night and unsurprisingly really liked it. Got to see it in 70mm too

I just can't get enough of Tarantino's slow builds of tension. The first half was the best part of the movie for me, and it was almost entirely characters talking in a horse carriage and a cabin It was definitely his darkest movie, I think every character that shows up on screen gets killed by the end. I dunno if I'd necessarily complain about there not being a more conclusive ending (as far as there being a point to it all), because it definitely was an interesting choice, but it did leave me feeling empty Best moment: Daisy's brother getting his head blown off just after their sentimental moment. I knew something was gonna happen the way it was being filmed, but did not see that coming. Everyone just started laughing in disbelief As usual the performances were great across the board. Especially Jackson, Russell, Goggins, and Leigh. I'd never even heard of Jennifer Jason Leigh before this but that character was so good. I think if I had to pick a favorite it'd be Russell though As far as the 70mm goes...it was a cool experience, but I don't think I'd jump to do it again. If you're a huge film geek I could see them getting more out of it, but stuff like the faint whirring of the film, occasional film grain, no trailers, overture at the beginning, etc didn't really do much for me. I'd have to see the movie in digital to compare the cinematography though, but I can't imagine 70mm looked THAT much better The intermission was a pretty cool touch though. It happened right after the scene where the General gets killed, which was the perfect point to break. And then the narration as soon as it starts back up with all the "15 minutes ago" references was great, I'm wondering if they had that in the regular version? I feel like it wouldn't make much sense

overall I'd go:
1. Inglourious Basterds
2. Django Unchained
3. Hateful Eight
4. Pulp Fiction
5. Reservoir Dogs
6. Jackie Brown

haven't seen Pulp/Reservoir/Jackie in a long time though

I really liked the score when they were outside setting up the posts to the outhouse and the music keeps ramping up more and more until it suddenly cuts to the cabin. Other than that I didn't notice it much
