Also: I love Keaton in this.

And it certainly is Keaton's best recurring role, maybe his best role ever. Well, until Multiplicity 2, The Beginning: This Time It's Personal is finally released.

Three movies in a row with no guest starring role from the director gives me hope that he finally realizes he's not an actor.
He couldn't resist, though. He's the "automated" voice on Jackie's answering machine.

It's a GOOD movie, but Tarantino is/was the most overhyped talented person on the planet. (He and Jimmy Kimmel after the Oscars: two geeks getting ready to watch 16 hours of splatter movies til their girlfriends come back from vacation.)

Jackie Brown is just so good, though. I need to buy me a copy of it so I can re-watch the dressing room scene.

i remember seeing it when it came out, and the cinema was packed with people who (like me, facing it) wanted another quote-packed 'pulp fiction'. and we didn't get it, and i think we were all a bit put out
so otm. was disappointed with this the first time round, but watched it again last night, and it's great.

So good. It's always been my favourite, though maybe Basterds matches it? Time will tell. But I watched JB again only last week, oddly enough. Everyone is so good in this, even Chris Tucker ("you're catching a nigga off guard with this shit"), and the whole switch scene in the mall is just brilliant.

tarantino’s fingerprints are all over this movie, from the script to the soundtrack to the camera angles to the dialogue to the casting to the editing.. ffs just look at get shorty or true romance for a taste of what a “replacement level director” would bring to a story like this
― Tracer Hand, Tuesday, 26 October 2021 21:30 (two years ago) link
A "script" isn't even a play -- it's a network of suggestions that a resourceful director will modify.

The source material maybe helps the pacing of the movie somehow? I dunno. But t has a much more relaxed vibe than anything else he’s done and I love it so much. It moves at the speed of Forster’s character, and with his same intensity
― terminators of endearment (VegemiteGrrl), Tuesday, 26 October 2021 22:52 (two years ago) link
There's a shot of Forster walking out of a screening at an AMC mall theatre, his hands in his pockets, that's so casually good, so redolent of the character he plays, that no one else could've realized it.
― So who you gonna call? The martini police (Alfred, Lord Sotosyn), Tuesday, 26 October 2021 22:55 (two years ago) link

It's a great movie, great cast, great book, but to argue any Tarantino movie doesn't have his fingerprints all over it (for better or worse) and that anyone could have done it is crazy
AND he's literally the only director on Earth who was going to cast Forster and Grier as the leads in a movie in 1997

I remember reading an interview with Stephen King where he said his reward for finishing a novel was reading an Elmore Leonard book. I thought that a really wonderful compliment.

it’s a really great version of the kind of films and TV shows I normally hate
― Dan S, Tuesday, 26 October 2021 23:26 (two years ago) link
and yeah, Tarantino’s fingerprints are all over it. It is a movie out of time, like Forster & DeNiro & Grier, so all the locations & cars & outfits have a very specific 70’s look while also seeming like present day…down to like, the car Forster drives or the loungey carpeted bar they go to, Grier’s airline & uniform. Tarantino cares enough about that granular stuff to hire the kind of ppl who *also* care. Same with the music. To me his specificity is what defines his style

Oh no, someone accidentally added sexual overtones to the scene in Jackie Brown where the first woman Louis has seen in many years seduces him, in a manner that establishes her propensity for boundary-pushing. No wonder Sally Menke got fired for this blunder.
