** Tarantino's Hateful Eight - Official thread ** (1 Viewer)

[Rick James]

If I had to give this a rating, I'd say 8/10...

my only gripe with it:

Spoiler

I thought the scene where QT shows us how the gang took over the haberdashery really brought everything to a halt. I'm not sure why he had to show us exactly HOW they killed Minny and exactly HOW all the other dudes died. It could've been left unsaid, or explained in a really quick scene after the jig is up.

 

[Jaysus]

I just like the word "haberdashery"

 

[Ministry of Pain]

I agree with you RJ, it was the weakest of the scenes in the film but it still had its moments and it sets up a wonderful "explosion" involving Tatum which I have been quiet on but I am glad QT cast him. He needed a Hollywood pretty boy/sacrificial lamb for some of us to cheer on. I cheered the violence in the last hour, not one of these turds is innocent, maybe the new Sheriff but it's debatable.

For those that have seen it, there are 8 marks on the movie poster, 7 of them red, save one for black to insinuate something, I am pretty sure I get it and don't want to ruin spoilers here but...some folks weren't so sure who makes it out alive in the film.

 

[Jaysus]

I am sure I missed it, but how does this count at QT's 8th flick?

I've seen several posters with 1 and 2 black marks.Eta: depends on who's on the poster.

Hateful 8

So a movie that takes place all in one room MUST be viewed in on the big screen? Is there some big chase scene around a kitchen table or something?

The first 30-45 minutes is a stagecoach ride and some majestic scenery. Snow looked real and probably is, stagecoach authenticity, the costumes and the fur coats these guys are all sporting in the snow. The color contrast and vividness of the shots in low lighting. You can see SLJ in very black/dark surroundings. There is plenty to see if you like the art of film.

Meh

You keep quiet unless you've seen it as the Director intended.

"This is why we don't do film"

-Theater Manager, King of Prussia

You can't write this stuff. I'm laughing but here we have a revolt by movie theaters to show an actual movie. Think Boogie Nights when they are trying to get everyone to go from film to video...lot of movies now are not really shot on actual film, sad.

There's more good reviews than bad around the net. Also, it's at about 75% on RT, which given how polarizing QT is, is a pretty good percentage. A lot of people pan his movies because they just don't like him.

That story wasn't about the movie being bad, just that the high school kid at the theater doesn't now how to use a projector.

 

[Rick James]

I saw the 70mm roadshow in Atlanta. Thought it was a neat experience. With a long movie like this, the intermission was great for the bladder. Though I do really like seeing previews on the bigscreen and missed them here.

Yeah I see that now. The headline said something about the most brutal reviews, so I stopped right there...didn't realize they were taking about the roadshow and not the movie itself.

There have been posts about QT and I think if I were to be chained to his wrist for a day or two like JJL was to Russell, I might not like him for very long, he's a strange bird. But so were a lot of genius artist types. Some famous artists in paintings tend to copy other folks they loved and adored along the way. Dali was insane to a lot of folks.

And it's a COMEDY, hate to break it to folks but it's a Western/Comedy, not one where the jokes are coming a mile a minute but there were a lot of laughs in this movie.

We loved no previews but again that's us. I think there will be previews on the Jan 1st wide release.

Doesn't the fact they didn't cram previews into the first 20 minutes tell you something about the makers of this film?

The 25th-31st 70MM launch is for the self proclaimed film buffs like me to feel like QT is our best buddy and understands our frustration with the World at large. The Jan 1st wider release is for the masses.

It's really like QT remade Duck Soup but in the Old West. You can really tell he's a fan of the classics.

So we've gone from:

your opinion of the film should not be counted heavily as you didn't see the film the way the director or anyone associated with the art side of that film wanted you to see it.

To:

The first 30-45 minutes is a stagecoach ride and some majestic scenery. Snow looked real and probably is, stagecoach authenticity, the costumes and the fur coats these guys are all sporting in the snow. The color contrast and vividness of the shots in low lighting.

He needed a Hollywood pretty boy/sacrificial lamb for some of us to cheer on. I cheered the violence in the last hour, not one of these turds is innocent, maybe the new Sheriff but it's debatable.

For those that have seen it, there are 8 marks on the movie poster, 7 of them red, save one for black to insinuate something, I am pretty sure I get it and don't want to ruin spoilers here but...some folks weren't so sure who makes it out alive in the film.

Cliff notes on this Road Show thing?

 

[tonydead]

Cliff notes on this Road Show thing?

100+ showings in 44 locations using Ultra Panavision 70mm film. You know reel to reel stuff. Biggest release with this type of film in 20 years. A lot of the showings are in small theaters with small screens and apparently the little kids running the projectors don't remember how.

If you aren't fortunate enough to see one of these showings you obviously didn't see it as the Director intended and have no business commenting on the quality of the movie.

I'm no expert on movie film, but, I wasn't expecting this film to be shot inside at all. I thought the whole point of using Ultra 70MM was for the wide aspect ratio without loss of quality. What good does that do you inside with roughly a few meters on either side of you?

I think its showing until NYE. Its also longer due to the pre movie overture (4-5 minutes) and a 12-15 minute intermission halfway through. Also, you're supposed to get a program but I've heard it's hit or miss whether or not theaters have enough to go around.

Avid moviegoer that's GLAD they don't do film anymore.

I used to go to a lot of openers for the sole reason the

print was not messed up. You can go see Star Wars in

a couple of weeks from now knowing the movie won't

have lines through it. Some things deserve to die.

QT is fighting a losing battle as screens and the theater

rooms get smaller -14 screen movieplex- instead of the

one giant theater with the 80+ foot wide screen.

I'll take that trade off any day as some movies I will wait

to watch at home on a 8' by 6' screen.
