Hardly controversial. It’s runtime is short compared with other QT movies. QT says he’s written a few chapters of a novelization. I want to read it! I hope he also writes Double V Vega.
I would only have the Kill Bills and Death Proof left to watch after that. But I'm not really interested in those at the moment.
I don't know if it is, but I think it's maybe his most enjoyable. I always have fun watching it, just because of the atmosphere.
Ooh I'm in the mood to watch it again now!!!
Agreed. What a powerhouse debut! Not controversial though 😉
Yeah, I think Jackie Brown has much less of Tarantino's most showy stylistic and narrative trademarks. Maybe that's partly why I like it better than the other films. And it's based on an Elmore Leonard book. I don't know how faithful it is but I do think the film has a different vibe than the other Tarantino films I've seen.
I get real 'Crank' vibes from it, which is a good things. I think both of the Crank films are masterful examples of pure lunacy.
Tarantino has admitted as much, given the nature of being an adaptation of someone else’s work.
That’s why I find the idea of him doing CASINO ROYALE or STAR TREK to be interesting alternative universes. Seeing how he works on an adaptation as opposed to an original work.
Yes, I love Crank.
What's your problem with Woody Allen? I'd be surprised if anyone hated all his films.
Interesting!
Must admit I really only enjoy his early films,
'Sleeper' really makes me laugh out loud, and 'Love and Death' is still a hoot ( "Shall we say Pistols at Dawn?", Woody "Sure, we can say it...dont know what it means, but we can say it!"
Woody Allen is a terrible human being, or at very least incredibly suspect, but I don’t agree with the “boring artist” tag. I’ve enjoyed a number of his films immensely.
I haven't seen it, but given that it was an adaptation of an Elmore Leonard novel, I am not surprised.
You obviously like his early funny ones!
If you haven’t already mate, check out Midnight In Paris and Blue Jasmine...both excellent IMO.
Also Small Time Crooks I found really funny.
I seriously laughed my ass off when Leo came out of the shed with the flamethrower
"Checking the cell structure... (silly dance) ...and the cell structure has been checked!"
"We're here to see the nose...we heard it was running!"
And the classic about Nixon,
"....every time he left The White House, they counted the spoons!"
As much as I like Ana de Armas I'm probably one of the few with the opinion she didn't capture Marilyn's essence in BLONDE.
I don't think anyone has, TBH. Part of it is the overuse of the Marilyn voice. Marilyn created that voice for her film performances and image. Upon calling cut she dropped it and spoke normally as seen in the SOMETHINGS GOT TO GIVE outtakes and a few rare interviews.
If someone were to do a bio pic on Henry Winkler and the actor portraying him perform the entire film doing a Fonzie voice unaware he doesn't actually talk like that, I feel that's what we get with virtually every Marilyn representation.
That said, she brought her A game to the part regardless, but I never once felt I was seeing Marilyn in this film. I actually think Ana might've made a better Gene Tierney.
Probably going to see it in November, after my Halloween movies run. Will keep that in mind.
Also it's fiction. It's not intended as an attempt at accuracy, just shock value exploitation. That said, it's done in an artistic style that seems to be getting praise.
Precisely.
