Quentin Tarantino's "The Hateful Eight"

maybe QT gave him more time

Well he's doing a whole score so I'd imagine so. :)

too old to say no

So there *is* someone older than you after all

The Hateful Eight ComicCon panel. Tarantino says digital projection is just "HBO in public" so he may as well write for TV after he's completed his tenth film.

I probably feel about this the way most people feel about Star Wars - excited but also slightly trepidatious

yeah, same

I wonder how far I'd have to travel to actually see it in 70mm?

I assume this will run at the Castro (where I got to see similar special presentation of Inherent Vice) so I'll probably see it there

mostly just stoked for the Goggins of it all

yeah goggins and tarantino is a match made in heaven

The lines he was having to deliver in Justified were getting really tiresome by the last couple of seasons — maybe he'll come across better reading QT words. xp

Never got tired of him on Justfied tbh, tho I still kinda think his work in the last couple seasons of The Shield is peak Goggins

"one of these men is not who he says he is" .. uh oh.

but then.. yeah *looks* great.

from the teaser, the premise looks extremely straightforward: big reward money up for grabs, laconic violent men out to claim it, with plenty of treachery and double-dealing guaranteed. the cinematography/lighting look very good. all indications point to a lovingly crafted, big budget homage to the spaghetti western. could be v good. then again, it's a tarantino film, so you have to be prepared for a heavy meal of self-indulgence.

I did not know Goggins was in this. I always like Tarantino's stuff so my interest was already piqued but now it's at full attention.

his movies look too fussy, now, like glossy & choreographed to death & buffed

this thread has encouraged me to watch... Justified

think his movies look much better than they used to, as his scripts have declined he's become a much better more interesting director visually imo

this thread has encouraged me to watch... Justified

Can't say I expected this twist in the story. (don't go past season 2, you've got enough to kvetch about)

as his scripts have declined

Inglorious Basterds is his best by a wide margin imo, but Django is also his worst by a wide margin so this one will, for me at least, indicate whether there's a pattern emerging

I cant believe it took this many years for jennifer jason leigh to be in a tarantino movie. cant think of a more natural actor/director pairing

Sligthly saddened by a '70mm' film being digitally color graded so boringly. What's the point?

prince charles cinema in london will be showing it on 70mm - i think QT is the reason they recently got a 70mm projector installed (friends in high places etc etc)

i watched basterds recently in one of those nothing to watch pits of despair and i really thought it was brilliant

trailer looks much better if you *dont* watch it in HD

I'm sure it's just the trailer but shooting 2.76:1 for what looks like a bottle movie is a weird waste of a format but, like i said it's probably the trailer so...

^^that

wish he would get someone else to write for him. or adapt more books. this looks like it will probably be another fun but ultimately cine-incestuous project for him. shame as hes an amazing director.

if the final script is basically similar to the one that leaked, I think it'll be pretty great, the juxtaposition of claustrophobia amid colossal scope (in both a literal and figurative sense) is really fascinating

that said one of the reasons why I thought that script was fascinating was the ending, and that's the aspect most likely to change.

i will be v disappointed if tarantino doesn't manage to work in someone saying "you've got to be fucking kidding me"

A friend who works at an equipment rental place just posted this on his Facebook timeline

"This is what happens when Tarantino rents gear from work."

New interview:
http://www.vulture.com/2015/08/quentin-tarantino-lane-brown-in-conversation.html

That’s going to make this movie feel contemporary. Everybody’s talking about race right now.

I know. I’m very excited by that.

Excited?

Finally, the issue of white supremacy is being talked about and dealt with. And it’s what the movie’s about.

Have you seen True Detective?

I tried to watch the first episode of season one, and I didn’t get into it at all. I thought it was really boring. And season two looks awful. Just the trailer — all these handsome actors trying to not be handsome and walking around looking like the weight of the world is on their shoulders. It’s so serious, and they’re so tortured, trying to look miserable with their mustaches and grungy clothes.

Now, the HBO show I loved was Aaron Sorkin’s The Newsroom. That was the only show that I literally watched three times. I would watch it at seven o’clock on Sunday, when the new one would come on. Then after it was over, I’d watch it all over again. Then I would usually end up watching it once during the week, just so I could listen to the dialogue one more time.

I think people will be surprised to hear that. The Newsroom’s reviews were all over the place. Sorkin even apologized for some of it.

Who the fuck reads TV reviews? Jesus fucking Christ. TV critics review the pilot. Pilots of shows suck. Why would it be surprising that I like the best dialogue writer in the business?

-_-

honestly that's not surprising, given tarantino's predilections, but lollllll

Who the fuck reads TV reviews? Jesus fucking Christ. TV critics review the pilot. Pilots of shows suck.

fair point tho

writer of cokey dialogue loves cokey dialogue: news at 11

lol otm

xp it's kind of funny he says/thinks that (granted, he may be trolling to a certain degree) bc the only time critics just get a show's pilot is if the network is super unsure about it or if it's mad men. iirc the usual critic sample is between 3 and 6 episodes.

"Finally, the issue of white supremacy is being talked about and dealt with. And it’s what the movie’s about."

does anyone really want to hear QT of all people riff on this subject?

Most tv criticicism at this point is concurrent recaps of every episode. Several seasons of The Newsroom only got pillaged towards the end.

"So what is Hateful Eight saying about the 2010s?

I’m not trying to make Hateful Eight contemporary in any way, shape, or form. I’m just trying to tell my story. It gets to be a little too much when you try to do that, when you try to make a hippie Western or try to make a counterculture Western."

thats what will always make QT a dissappointment. him and PTA in a way. they have no interest in saying anything about the time we live in. maybe thats good in one sense. but its also just a bit empty, leading to movies that are great but dont resonate much beyond their own movie worlds.

other things i learned from that interview - QT's taste in modern movies and directors sucks. who is going to be watching american hustle in 20 years when they could be watching something from the actual 70s? but he is right about it follows at least.

Anything Else is one of his favorite films. So, y'know.
