Quentin Tarantino's Manson murders movie

I thought for a second that all four of them were in the movie and those were set pictures, then I remembered the latter two were in a Starsky and Hutch movie.

wow it's insane, those two pairs are exact matches

I'm guessing it's not totally unintentional.

Lookit those two actors, actin' it up. Thinking big acting thoughts.

TRAILER! I'm in. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ptzyxQxr3JU&fbclid=IwAR15MAu2b6t70yojxMS2j0GKDpcQ2g04Zx5CoF2Xsu9lBkjjJoSgCWCk0Ew

Let's try this link: https://youtu.be/ptzyxQxr3JU

why is that kid leaning into whisper but then speaking so loudly

Paid by Leo's agent, is what I heard made up.

Martin Scorsese presents a Paul Thomas Anderson Quentin Tarantino picture.

You know this is gonna be another of these recent Tarantino scripts where everyone is hard of hearing and repeats things a million times.

"You're the best actor."

"Did you say I'm the best actor?"

"Yes."

"Me, I'm the best actor?"

"Yes, the best actor."

"Me?"

"Yes, you."

"You say I'm the best actor?"

"Yes."

BRUCE LEE

that looks fun !

Wait...in INGLOURIOUS BASTERDS, a French movie buff helps kill Hitler & ends WWII. In DJANGO UNCHAINED, a Spaghetti Western/blaxploitation hero strikes a blow against slavery. In ONCE UPON A TIME IN HOLLYWOOD is Bruce Lee going to prevent the Manson murders?

Bruce Lee DOES the Manson Murders.

Ok I will be very upset if Brad Pitt somehow shows up Bruce Lee

i wonder, is that "bruce lee" or does he make it notionally fictional, like "gary fong" or something?

i was at a bruce lee exhibit not so long ago, they had his old high school and college papers (!) on display. he was really into self-actualization. he had a plan for everything, going way back to his teens. (he was also a pretty good writer.) which makes it all the sadder that he died so damn young.

It's supposed to be Bruce Lee. Steve McQueen is also a character in the film.

cannot WAIT for Lena Dunham as a gypsy

looking forward to olyphant's 3 lines

this thing is going to be 3.5 hours long isn't it

this looks good, imho

Oh I had no idea luke perry was involved !

And B. Pitt doesn’t seem very different from the supposedly photoshopped picture... or maybe they Photoshopped him in the whole movie !

What the heck is this movie even about? It looks fun, but I'm worried it will deal with the Manson story in a weird and superficial way.

Tarantino make a superficial movie? Surely not?

I mean, yeah, that's the point. Can he actually do this story justice or is it going to just be a bunch of wish fulfillment nonsense?

Yeah like he would deal with nazism in a superficial way!

Or slavery

I think he managed something interesting with Inglorious Basterds, Django was kind of a horrible mess.

this looks awful, again

Wow, I just might see it because Pitt looks hott in the pictures (I have a thing for hott 60s-70s man-style), and IMO he hasn't looked hot for a very long time! Although I think the Manson story has been molested enough to the point I'm getting pretty annoyed. I watched the Aquarius Manson take and was disappointed with it. There are some mystery factors there - unanswered questions - and that's what compels people to keep going back to it, but at some point you watch all this Manson stuff and feel exhausted and sad and even guilty.

Are there any indications that this is "about" the Manson murders, rather than adjacent?

QT has said a million times it's not about the murders, "it's about LA in 1969"

I'm afraid it's mainly about Quentin Tarantino

There are an awful lot of people/characters close to the murders for them to not feature heavily, at least.

can QT just die on an island in the South Indian Ocean?

To imagine a thousand-post thread in which we debate the finer points of how a new movie of his sucks is almost as unendurable as remembering January 2017.

this one will be his best since Death Proof probably, maybe Kill Bill. Never understood the love for Inglorious Basterds.

Isn't that supposed to be the 'family' at one brief point as the camera scans past?

No Pacino means what.. he isn't in it much i'm guessing?

xp: the group of girls at 0:46?

Never mind that, Manson's in the trailer!

xp Yeah. I wonder if this is going to be like that ep of Mad Men where there's this creepy vibe and a strAnge guy but no one says who it is.

can QT just die on an island in the South Indian Ocean?

No:

"As long as I'm alive, and as long as I'm rich, the New Beverly will be there, showing double features in 35mm," Tarantino said.

tough to tell from the trailer what this would be about but the movie *looks* good, certainly.

As far as IG I recall my wife got pretty emotional about it, surprisingly even for her; her dad escaped the Germans, barely, about four or five times. He never talked about the holocaust, she never dealt with it herself, it’s too tough for her. The movie was a sort of way to deal with it, unexpectedly? She cannot watch more realistic holocaust films, Schindler’s and The Pianist and others are no-go’s. I doubt her reaction was the same as others, my reaction was more a visceral one to the story and several outstanding scenes. So her POV on her viewing experience was interesting.

DiCaprio's character lives next door to Sharon Tate in the movie

I'm sure he'll encounter Charlie at least once

Never understood the love for Inglorious Basterds.

i like IG just fine. never understood the hate for Django. prob my favorite of his since the 90s w IG coming in at a close 2nd. (but tbf did not see Death Proof or KB2)
