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.

yeah, same
I wonder how far I'd have to travel to actually see it in 70mm?
― rack of lamb of god (WilliamC), Wednesday, 12 August 2015 18:21 (nine years ago) link
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

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
― rack of lamb of god (WilliamC), Wednesday, 12 August 2015 18:30 (nine years ago) link
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.
― piscesx, Wednesday, 12 August 2015 18:35 (nine years ago) link
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.
― Aimless, Wednesday, 12 August 2015 19:08 (nine years ago) link
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.

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
― balls, Wednesday, 12 August 2015 19:26 (nine years ago) link
Can't say I expected this twist in the story. (don't go past season 2, you've got enough to kvetch about)
― rack of lamb of god (WilliamC), Wednesday, 12 August 2015 19:51 (nine years ago) link
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

Sligthly saddened by a '70mm' film being digitally color graded so boringly. What's the point?
― Frederik B, Thursday, 13 August 2015 00:50 (nine years ago) link
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'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...

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.
― StillAdvance, Thursday, 13 August 2015 14:41 (nine years ago) link
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
― slothroprhymes, Thursday, 13 August 2015 14:57 (nine years ago) link
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.

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?

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.

does anyone really want to hear QT of all people riff on this subject?
― StillAdvance, Monday, 24 August 2015 09:30 (nine years ago) link
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.

― One Wittle Wee-Wee (Old Lunch), Monday, 24 August 2015 12:27 (nine years ago) link
i suppose he did like afternoon delight at least (not that ive seen it) so at least his taste in modern films isnt totally confined to his director friends.

i think PTA absolutely does, but he has little to no interest in saying it in any direct fashion through stories taking place in the present time, other than in magnolia. but there will be blood and the master are both thematically relevant to aspects of modern society/politics/etc, especially the former
tarantino...not so much. (although i'm sure someone could and will make a case for the original hateful eight script being an on-the-nose allegory for modern ideological/racial conflict; i'm not entirely sure such a reading would hold up)

Is he friends with Woody? Even so, that doesn't even come close to justifying Anything Else as the best WA film since 1992, let alone one of the very best films in that time frame.
QT also an avowed fan of the Richard Gere remake of Breathless, iirc.
