Half in the Bag Episode 101: The Hateful Eight and The Ridiculous 6 (sort of)

half in the bag I don't even know what's wrong with my face well that was certainly a movie was that called again the hateful eight dads Quentin Tarantino's new movie this was a Quentin Tarantino film wow I'm shocked it almost none of his hallmarks she's he could have told me it was a Woody Allen film or a Gus Van Sant film and I wouldn't have known the difference are you being sarcastic what does that word even mean hey Jay you know our situation here in the house is very similar to the characters in the hateful eight you know they're trapped in a cabin in the middle of a blizzard oh you mean a living nightmare no a living nightmare was something else a different film I saw called the ridiculous six starring Adam Sam one got room for one mo the hateful eight is the eighth film from Quentin Tarantino do you think he intentionally had his eighth film have the word 8th in the title the idea seemed so masturbatory that it probably was done on purpose the film takes place just after the Civil War when a bunch of different people get holed up in a cabin during a snowstorm because this is a Tarantino movie we know that they are all exactly who they say they are and they'll get along just fine Jay what did you think of the hateful eight this thing has a centerfold I loved his wonted a centerfold of Tim Roth now I loved it it was everything I wanted it to be no I liked the movie a lot we should point out we did see it in 70 millimeter if you can see it that way do so I actually saw it twice and it was an interesting experience because the first time I saw it is actually absolutely perfect as far as the presentation goes the picture looked great sound was great and then the second time which is when I saw with you there's a couple slight things off I noticed like the alignment was wrong so you could see when it would cut to a different shot you could see that new shot at the very bottom of the frame like a frame before it would cut to it so that was distracting it was just a hair out of focus so that was distracting and the sound was off by like two three frames so that was distracting so the first time I saw it absolutely perfect and I loved the movie and I loved the way it was executed in the way it was presented in 70 millimeter and so it's interesting to see now like just a couple little things how they can be off will affect like the entire experience of watching the movie I was not well first of all yet the 70 millimeter Roadshow go see it if you can you get this wonderful book booklet mmm-hmm and it's a whole experience there's an overture there's a intermission mm-hmm it's great yeah and you can hear that projector thumping in the back you can you can but you better not have a sloppy projectionists who would seem like they didn't carrots I guess this is your only theater it's the whole reason we're doing this is a presentation of the 70-millimeter I was I was disappointed in my Roadshow experience mr. Tarantino I applaud your efforts wholeheartedly to shoot this film at 70 millimeter I wanted this on the [ __ ] IMAX screen you do you know a 35 millimeter film negative has up to 6 K resolution so there's a whole lot of resolution in the end of what I would imagine a 70 millimeter film print would be much higher than that yes and then so we watched it and we were sort of in a regular theater and the screen was the size so it had the it had extra space on the top and it was like this massive image in this wide format almost just like watching a feature film on your 16 by 9 TV and I was like uh I think I think that's going to depend on the theater I'm sure this there's other theaters that are showing it in a larger screen IMAX screen for some I'm sure this is just what we had you will exactly make sure you see it in IMAX because the resolution on this and the image quality is probably pretty darn good yeah and it felt like why am i watching this in font film like what is the point when it's not properly focused and - it's not really on a big screen I don't mean to be like a naysayer or debbie downer but I was just like ah it looks good it looks like a movie well I don't I don't have that that romanticized idea film that Tarantino seems to have I mean he's very like I'm always going to shoot on film blah blah blah and you know I wanted to see the Sun film because that's how he intended it to be seen I'm fine with digital projection I'm fine with shooting digitally you have people doing wonderful things with it all the way up from David Fincher down to a movie that came out last year called tangerine which was shot on a [ __ ] iPhone and it's like one of the best movies of the year so that I don't have that sort of romanticized idea I would have to see a digital presentation of this movie to really compare them but the first time I saw it especially the second time with you it was things were slightly off but the first time I saw it it was just like I don't know that picture looks so rich like you can tell the difference and the first time I saw it it was like flawless presentation I would have liked to see it on a bigger screen but the fact I got to see it on film at all is I'm you know very happy about that yeah well well issue number two with shooting in the seventy millimeter format was the subject matter and it reminded me of who's the what's a Paul Thomas Anderson movie master the master have a 70 millimeter yeah with the exception of a couple of shots on a beach the master takes place primarily in a church basement and then this it's like alright you know ninety four percent of the movies in a cabin and the ninety five percent 95 the rest of it is in snow yes you have a problem with the snow stuff all those landscape shots were gorgeous there were a couple they were sort of like mediocre landscape shots they were just like oh yeah here it is it wasn't like there wasn't the visuals weren't that striking or that above above-average even it was like everything and it was average I would have rather seen Django or [ __ ] Kill Bill where it's like there's all this [ __ ] going on those fight scenes colors more variety to the visuals more variety to the visuals and and if you're like snowy landscapes are okay but I want to see like a road movie where people go across the country and they're you know we're here we're here we're doing this and all this is so the whole movies in a cabin yes see I like that contrast though I like that because the movie is so intimate that you're seeing it you know on this this huge formats widescreen format so you really get a sense of the landscape of that Kevin and I think it's probably Tarantino's strongest movie visually as far as like taking something like that where it's all in one location and and keeping it interesting you know the the the shots the camera movements there's lots of split focus diopter shots all that stuff to it almost feels like more of a challenge to try and make something like this cinematic this here is Daisy Dahmer coupe she's wanted dead or alive for murder that Sun comes out I'm taking this woman to hang there anybody here committed to stopping me from doing that the movies three hours long it did not feel that length at all to me in fact I knew that the intermission was supposed to come about two hours into the movie when the intermission title came up I was shocked the two hours had already passed I was completely immersed in the movie yeah I mean I don't know who said this movie is boring it's not I can see the lack of locations boring people but to me I was drawn in yeah you always are with his dialog and and the way the tension yeah there's always this like really palpable thick tension in the air even if something you always know something's going to happen yeah don't know what well especially this movie where there's no nice characters or there's nobody that is even close to be what being what you would call a good guy like there rarely are in his movies but in this one they're all horrible people I mean you're just waiting for something to happen and I don't know if this is different with the 70-millimeter showing of it than a digital projection of it but the sound - especially adds that tension with the and that's one of the things I really liked about the movie - is setting that cabin and it's during a blizzard that constant wind noise we talked about that with Krampus - oh yeah oh that really like adds to just like you're just waiting for something bad to happen grandpa said butter sound design in my opinion I like Krampus Krampus needs to get an Oscar for that [ __ ] sound it won't because it's Krampus but I agree that it should get some sort of recognition doesn't sound and Krampus was this it I didn't really like oh wow yeah that's great you know but okay well the films about to bounty hunters samuel l.jackson a former Union officer gone into the bounty hunter business and Kurt Russell who's known as the hangman because he always takes in his uh his bounties alive yes wanted dead or alive but he always takes him in alive yes because he wants the hangman to get his work yeah whatever well Jackson thinks it's easier to shoot him because then you know you don't have to sleep with one eye open right and then uh and his bounty is played by Jennifer Jason Leigh Jennifer Jason's my favorite part of the movie yes I loved her in this and like you said you're you feel bad for her at first she just turns out to be a horrible monster monster in some way yes you're not likeable characters but your empathy is constantly shifting even though you don't they're none of them are good people but there are moments where you kind of understand them but then they do something awful that shifts your focus to somebody else you mainly relate to samuel l.jackson and Kurt Russell and mainly Kurt Russell well but then Eve any elbows Jennifer Jason Leigh in the face beaten on are pretty bad but Sam Jackson talks about how he just loves murdering white people yeah okay scratch this that's what that's alexjuanes film although you wants you root for Sam Jackson at the end sure more or less kind of kind of the premises they stop at Minnie's haberdashery sort of like a old-timey hotel yes - and a blizzard is coming and then they meet some unsavory characters there there's a little you know this is suspected that they're there to save Jennifer Jason Leigh yeah right now one of them is in cahoots with Rhodes and there's a plot and then I think at this point will say spoilers because I was already gonna slip which a character dies early in the film so we're gonna say spoilers from here on out if you plan to see the hateful eight BAM you've been warned trigger warning trigger warning there's lots of guns that's what I mean oh that's what triggers something there's a warning there's lots of people pulling triggers in this movie so now that we've said spoilers yeah they show up at Minnie's haberdashery and and can I say this the very first thing I noticed what's-his-face the old man Brewster Brewster bristle burger and chair and there's a chessboard out and then the chair next was empty so you're like who's he playing chess with yeah but then I noticed the chessboard and then I was like okay for some reason it's stuck out in my brain and then later on the film progresses and basically it's it's a stage production in in a cabin and all these characters are there in samuel l.jackson and Kurt Russell are trying to figure out who everybody is and everyone's interacting and then we find out Bruce Dern is a former Confederate General yes and of course samuel l.jackson fought on the Union side and so it's like oh you know and and we discover that he may have killed his son there's a bounty there's all these things going on and then um this is where I didn't the movie took a turn for me and this is where I started to not like the movie okay let me let me explain um I talked about Sam Jackson's reveal to Bruce Dern here Sam Jackson they're having dinners and then Sam Jackson goes over and gets a bowl of stew and brings it over to Bruce Dern and he's like here and then Walton Goggins stands up and he's like you know because he's like a southern guy yeah and and he had he has respect for the general and they had this whole scene earlier on there's a lot going on but let me get to my point he stands up and Samuel Jackson mm-hmm and then so he starts conversing with the general yeah and then and then I thought this whole movie is is an intricate chess game I thought of the general as like the king yeah and I thought of you know all the different people in the film as as his chess pieces and and when samuel l.jackson goes over with the the the bowl and he's gonna is it oh he's going to get on his side and then and then you know it's like he's doing a chess move and there's something going on here and then and then shoots them and then a shooter and then it's like everyone's like here comes all the gore and yeah and I'm like oh yeah that's right everyone has to kill each other it's not just that he shoots him though as it's more to it you know he he he go to in to shooting him but and and there's some depth and and weight to what's happening he uses his knowledge of Bruce turns character and says I get that Amy he taunts him by saying you know I killed your son and I made your son do some pretty awful things that you will need to see the movie - I guess we're in spoilers as a matter of we talked about so you don't have to spoil details okay but anyway my point being the first two hours of the movie I absolutely loved and then the intermission happens and then after that everyone in the theater I heard someone say now it's time to get to the good stuff now and it's like okay and then it's still really good but to me it was a little disappointing because he takes two hours to set up all these characters and all their motivations and it just turns out to be exactly what we were led to believe that there are all in cahoots to save Jennifer Jason Leigh and it really it just kind of becomes like this person shoots this person that person should set person everyone is horrible and everyone dies and then it's like okay I enjoyed the part where the guy gets his head blown off because how could you not yeah but but at a certain point I was like oh this is brilliant yeah this is this is brilliant this these all these characters all have their own motivations and angles and it's going to be this really intricately written chess game but then it just turns into everyone shoots each other see I think it's a little more than because it really as when that second half that's when you kind of learned that Walton Goggins and Sam Jackson are for lack of a better term the heroes Walter Walton Goggins has one of the best roles in the south I really liked him because he does sort of he goes through some changes as the movie goes along and he I guess he's probably the closest to having an arc but my you know and I agree that it's unfortunate that it turns out it's exactly what you thought it was going to be my problem is not with that in concept it's a little bit with the execution because Tarantino is known for kind of doing these nonlinear you know stories and when we get to the splashback sequence where we see how those characters got to where they are that's the one sequence on the movie or like what we know was going to turn out so why are we spending so much time on it it's where that comes in the movie over that that's that's the only issue I had with it it's not so much that what is revealed is just how it's revealed it's it's shocking when John Travolta gets shot oh you're like oh he's dead and this it's like yeah it's it's I don't want to complain about Quentin Tarantino indulging in violence but I'm going to it for me works similar to Django Unchained where it's not like it's not that the movie is building up to that or that's the point of the movie so much it is the cherry on top the first two hours is the meat of the movie and then all that last stuff is just sort of that I guess I'm under the the payoff to be fun why the need for so much gruesome graphic violence why not let us be have it did so much fun can give it people talk about Tarantino's being like this high art like crash he's I don't think he ever has been he's a very I I dislike him as a person a lot he's very obnoxious well you see how he reacted to that one guy that was filming him what are you doing Katie can you not talk to me just for I just for the what are you doing is there [ __ ] off I can't imagine any producer the wine the Weinstein I think they give him free rein yeah there's like you sure you what a shoot to 70 millimeter field it's going to cost us a [ __ ] fortune but yeah and so he he loves his violence he loves his n-word that's a whole nother story yeah but he makes people horribly uncomfortable well it's my job to ask you why you think and I am Julian Flay oh and I'm shutting you down but you have a responsibility as a filmmaker surely to explain a little bit no I don't have any responsibility to you to explain anything I don't want to not since that he makes really elevated schlock he's like a great brilliant craftsman of like he understands how to pace the scene the understands how to get good performances and dialogue all that stuff but he also really loves comical over-the-top gore yes and I think some people don't know how to interpret that where they were they think of it as like high art but no but then he puts this you know these gore this over-the-top gore in it it's the combination of those two that makes him unique the only film that came close to high art was probably Pulp Fiction just because it just created a genre and CIA was material into such a new like way of telling a story and but yeah you're right like Tarantino he he loves the the grindhouse blaxploitation now the difference between him and the people that made those is that he is a good filmmaker he's a good filmmaker and a good writer yes and I would never tell him what to do he can make whatever movies he wants and it's to me it's just at this point it's getting a little disappointing that each one ends in horrific violence and God bless him man you know I'm not complaining about violence it's like sharise bastards like there are some scenes in that movie like you know that are so good yeah it's so well-written and the basement see the basement bars that that's basically this yeah that's this whole movie kind of stretched out where think you're just waiting for the other shoe to drop and the scene where the the SS officer comes to the house mm-hmm and and he knows that they're under the stairs yeah the fund of the floorboards it's so good it's so well written so much tension and then it's like at the end of every one of his recent movies it's excessive violence and everyone dies yeah and I just want him to make I want him to take his writing and make a good well-written well-rounded movie that just doesn't end in like gore and blood and guts yeah I think I talked about this when we talked about Django and that my favorite Tarantino movie is Jackie Brown mm-hmm that's the one that felt like the most mature it has slightly older characters they're they're making smarter decisions so he's materia is a filmmaker and that's why I like that movie so much because it kind of is what you're talking about which is his clever dialogue the way he executes a scene without the excessive gore this particular movie the excessive gore worked for me because the whole movie just felt so McCobb like by the end I was think it's like when did this turn into a Tales from the Crypt episode like so like with the tone of this movie I liked that as opposed to something like Django which I liked a lot but it almost felt like the excessive gore at the end of that was like it felt like the story was over and then that stuff happened you know so I don't know I for me it kind of depends on the movie I would call him a genius because he is as far as filmmaking goes chairman not a mathematical genius not maybe not a engineering genius but a filmmaking genius I'm in that category oh yeah effort what effortlessly that's that's the thing is like they always feel like so they see some movies like I look at like a like Christopher Nolan and if you think he's trying so hard to come across this like some grand filmmaker yes those movies are good but Tarantino it feels like he doesn't care and he doesn't even have to try like he just he just shits out these great movies that's the definition of style by the way mmm is doing something good and making a look effort effortless yeah and so that's what he does I agree I agree and I there are some people that I am I know a said like this movies too long it's too self-indulgent and I can understand where they're coming from to a certain extent I mean it's just like like yes there's a more concise way of telling this particular story but that's not what he's trying to do like he's celebrating filmmaking and he's celebrating performance and all these elements of movies because like story is just a part of filmmaking because really you could you could nitpick the story apart kind of like a couple of things I brought up like why didn't they march out the characters right into the snow and shoot them yes there would have been more logical but it wouldn't have been cinematic right and it wouldn't have been it wouldn't have been memorable yes and he creates visuals that that you remember and emotions that you remember um the way you feel in the theatre when you see these things happen and it was interesting too because people don't know how to respond to some of the material oh yeah there's always a mix of gasps and laughs yes like Jennifer Jason Leigh gets boom yeah the face I heard someone laugh someone gasped right and it's like oh and then I yeah I once against women executive to close-up over and she looks up and like bloods trickling down her face it's like that's not funny like that that constant like tugging of emotions yes and then everyone laughs hysterically when the Mexican gets his head blown off and you know Daniel 'po oh i am i laughing at this yeah Rebecca maker who's with that fella uh-huh that's my problem boy I don't know one of them sells they'll kill everybody in here now we're talking let's lower down well Jay I know your answer yes I would also recommend it of course with the with the foreknowledge of at the two-hour mark sit back get out your barf bag fasten your seat belt special accommodations to Jennifer Jason Leigh and in Ennio Morricone you did the score well those are two my favorite aspects of the movie and to filming in actual snow and to know blue screens or green screens yes you can see everybody's breath constantly and I'm assuming that was a set but you can still see their breath they got the set um the temperature set to 32 degrees okay that it's like what they did with the Exorcist that's great right okay so you could get real breath great love it yes yes oh one thing we got to mention mm-hmm Tarantino needs to stop with the spotlights stop with the goddamn spotlights these unmotivated pointless spotlights that shine on the tables are parts of the floor he always does that a nice stop why stop at Tarantino I'm telling you how to do your job Jamie better than it's a minor nitpick but it's something that I notice or I'm like where's that lights must have be coming from it's the middle of the night in a cabin that has no electricity where was the light coming from he used the same DP as the guy who did the film about the sex abuse scandal in the Catholic Church with Mark Ruffalo and Michael Keaton I don't know what that means no one said this job's supposed to be easy nobody says bill to be too hard neither I'm shutting your butt down so we also saw kind of the ridiculous six kind of uh I watched at all but the last thirty two minutes I had to watch it in like sixteen viewings okay the first three minutes felt like a half an hour literally three minutes we're pausing I was like I felt like I've been watching this for ten minutes well why if this was such a painful experience Mike why did we even try to watch it well was our goal well clearly the hateful eight and ridiculous six are both plays on the Western magnificent seven and we wanted to do a little comparing contrasting of the two films I guess it's an apples and oranges thing but why not well they're both westerns they're both people in them they're both in color yeah I guess that's it they're both a star-studded casts yes star-studded affair in both film I was surprised at how many reputable cameos there were in ridiculous six and I said oh everybody likes a check where a man can trot five miles in this territory without running into outlaw ninjas apparently there's some new gang out there robbing everybody blind Steve Buscemi's greatest performance when he's shoving pointment up the [ __ ] of a donkey oh no I was that before or after the donkey had explosive diarrhea all over the floor after okay was it before after he had explosive diarrhea all over chris parnell it was after okay do you see the scene where they go to the doctor I think I I didn't watch the movie I skimmed through it so I saw certain scenes are you gonna discuss a movie you don't watch Drake well here's the thing am Sandler he's out of theaters now he's directing Netflix he's not my problem anymore an unrelated news Netflix stock is down six hundred percent I did some comparisons between this and the hateful eight because the hateful eight shot on on glorious film sixty five millimeters seventy millimeter whatever a gorgeous looking movie shot in rough locations sixty five millimeter image science the rest is the audio track whatever I think that negative 65 and then because sound is separately recorded and I think the final film print is is seventy okay the what do they call it an optical soundtrack right the optical audio reader check a little thing that the audio track runs to yeah I don't know if they do that anymore or if that's how this was presented sorry back to bashing Adam Sam yes that's sad well this is this is the shocking part when I discovered this the budget for hateful eight beautiful film great casts a good good quality movie shot on outdated expensive technology budget was only forty four million which I would have expected it to be more than that mister no known for doing lots of takes uh that I don't know I'm assuming he does enough isn't Woody Allen like he just does one take and if he wants another take up to do it like yeah he's very like like assembly line as far as the way he goes I know uh Tarantino is not like a Kubrick where he does like a thousand takes of somebody picking up the phone but forty four forty four million dollars the budget for ridiculous six a direct Netflix movie was sixty million so 20 million less than jack-and-jill that seemed to be the template for all of Adam Sandler's theatrical movies they're all right around 80 million so this one 60 million but it still it looks like a TV show and as all these has been 90s SNL actors in it I mean I guess there's someone like I don't know what the going rate for Terry Crews is but I want to know what the going rate for Harvey Keitel is because I thought he was dead Harvey cards Keitel who has been in Tarantino movies but now he's in the ridiculous six they had to call in the wolf yeah who are you people we are the stockburn brother you forgot about noses oh he gets decapitated this and his head fly off in this movie by Jorge Garcia as I write someone cuts his head off well Rob Schneider does Rob Schneider's play okay okay so this is a cast of husbands and it costs a eighty sixty million to make and and fifty nine million went to paying David Spade's boat off it was like a uh but but you know what hey they had costumes they filmed in in in real location eliminations some of the time yeah the time it was clearly a little full set as I'm sure that they're still in there outside and they film in the Hollywood Old West town wherever that is Back to the Future 2 times maximum feature three and you know what if the the problem with the I had with the film was I was [ __ ] boring yeah it's not funny at all a donkey sprayed diarrhea constantly I would love the film I would so your promise that there wasn't enough donkey diarrhea there was like a couple of gags one which I thought was actually kind of brilliant um but there's the I don't know if you saw the Steve Buscemi scene that's so yeah or he's just his ointment for everything is I'm for everything in these the same Wayman and he uses it for everything he's rubbing it on the lost guy's ball sack and then he puts it in Tyler Taylor Lautner's mouth yeah and then he rub well he doesn't after the donkey right he doesn't mean that disgusting order yeah first the donkey no first the guys crotch then the donkey's [ __ ] and then his mouth and then oh no no then he uses it as it's important that you get the order right he uses it as a shaving cream for rush nighter and then then the kids mouth and then no in the mouth is last and you have to have the mouth after the donkey's [ __ ] well actually technically last he offers it as lip balm to Adam Sandler okay and I'm sound was above that kind of [ __ ] so he does it himself and then you get to watch a wonderful wonderful actor rub donkey anus covered ointment all over his mouth and kind of go you know is that like half smile where he just he knows what he's doing but he wants that check but yeah Adam Sandler in this like he just looks so tired and old and it's a continuation what we were seeing with pixels where he looks visibly miserable right where he's just like he's doing his best space cop impression yeah he just mumbles I wanted to mention Nick Nolte to I think the budget went to resurrecting him resurrecting his corpse I couldn't understand thank you I can't [ __ ] understand a word so you have Adam Sandler kiss me yeah yeah yeah Adam Sandler mumbling and then him sounding like rocks like if rocks were a person well this is what they would sound like pile of rocks could talk sound like Nick Nolte yeah yeah that's true um the scene where they're talking Nick Nolte doesn't give a [ __ ] and I'm saying there is mumbling he doesn't give a [ __ ] it's like thirty minutes long that's when I lost it and I was at three minute mark yeah [ __ ] yeah and then um half the lowman in the West already looking for it know which way them they're ridiculous six wrote off two dozen so much fun now if Frank sock burn is your father raise your hand there's a wonderful wonderful little little sequence where for no reason they run into Abner Doubleday John Turturro John Turturro Abner Doubleday is the guy who invented baseball yeah and he's trying to teach baseball to a bunch of like Chinese people probably building the railroad the Chinese building the railroad um and he's trying to teach him baseball and the joke is that he keeps changing the rules to benefit him and it's funny the baseball has all these weird rules like he's on like two strikes and I'm out and then you know he's like he wants a third try and he's like I said three yeah it's funny he doesn't feel like getting the ball after the lost guy hits a home run so he's like hey I don't feel like getting that just go around the bases it's a home run yeah it'sit's a clever little sequence which is why I'm wondering how it ended up in this movie and it's also completely disconnected from everything else yeah it's like like 15 minutes it just goes on and it's just this kind of funny little sequence it doesn't connect to anything then just ask them then flat out where's our dad always over there you know I'll tell them but you have to play this baseball game yeah I if I were to guess I would that was a bit somebody the writer or somebody else thought of on there completely disconnected from this movie and share wouldn't it be funny if you ran to Abner Doubleday and he's trying to do the first baseball game any and is the bit is and some wonderful little thing got put into this movie yeah because nothing else is clever like that how would Netflix like recoup a 60 million dollar budget I don't know how their system works I know their their shows they found like it's like an average of like three to four million per episode of something like orange is the new black or house of cards but those are like classy shows that people like and this is like dumb donkey diarrhea movie but three to four million is their production budget four per episode yeah so yeah that's what I found I don't I don't know I know it varies depending on the show but that's I saw that number yeah I don't quite know how Netflix makes its its money maybe maybe they needed to write something off on their taxes we did a tax write-off quick get us an Adam Sandler film it's like the [ __ ] producers need your scam need to make a fake movie so that we lose money no that's another I think I looked up I have to double check my facts here okay to make sure I get the the numbers right hateful eighths Rotten Tomatoes score 75% okay ridiculous sixes Rotten Tomatoes score zero I wanted to make sure I got that number correct I was at least hoping for six you know someone must have thought this was a good idea though because like why else would you put in the effort to make it a Western and do it like actual like period costumes it's not like a jack-and-jill where it's like he plays himself and his sister the home animal and filmed in his house and the whole movies filmed on a soundstage like this one well it does have a little bit of effort put into it Mike did he just think this was a good idea I don't know I can't I can't he's more mysterious than George Lucas it's true where it's like you don't know if like there's people around them that go here Adam here's the next idea and he goes alright that's fine whatever yeah or if he's like if he just appears disinterested on screen and maybe in behind the scenes he is and he sent they're laughing and they're having a good time making this clearly there's a dip in quality level an effort but yeah my guess is that since this was the first of hopefully not many Netflix movies he made a for picture deal for pictures okay well that maybe since it's the first they wanted to make it appear like they're going to try or that it had some kind of effort it feels more like a movie that should be in theaters than Jack and Jill did yeah that's the weird thing but the next one will be you know

I can't wait to see Space Cop in 70mm and get my booklet.

I love them but this isn't a rhetorical question: is there a better review show on Youtube? Because if there is, I wanna be subscribed to that show, too.

God I love RLM.

The Ridiculous 6 is practically The Great American Comedy Swindle 2.0

This movie was amazing! Glad they liked it. Not Tarantino's best but definitely a great film.

Hmm, I know they're fans of QT (I definitely am too), but I thought they'd be harsher on The Hateful Eight. I'll have to see it again to get a firm ranking of it, but I'd really say it's one of his weaker films. I didn't have the same problems with it that Mike had. It was the first Tarantino film that bored me, which came as a big surprise because I was anticipating to be fully engrossed by this movie; something like that intro scene and the basement scene in Inglorious Basterds stretched into a feature length film. But the dialogue just wasn't as memorable or interesting as it was in his other movies.

There was lots of good acting from the great cast but I felt Michael Madsen and Tim Roth were sorely underused. Also, Tarantino's narration was jarring and really pulled me out of the movie. Still a good movie overall I'd say, just disappointing for me and not that great.

One of the best critiques of Tarantino I've heard. I personally don't like his movies mostly because of his love for "grotesque violence is awesome" mindset. If he ended his next movie with a Psycho or American Psycho, or even Fury Road ending and eliminated the absolutely unneeded carnage he could create a Citizen Kane level film.

I liked the movie but had the exact same feelings as Mike. I was getting sucked in by the whole mystery/manipulation aspect of the movie... annnnnd then everyone just starts killing each other. Oh well. It was good.

[u/afewdollarsmore]

I side with Mike on this one. The movie builds up to nothing in the end.
