Typical Tarantino movie. Nothing for the first half and blood and gore for the second half. Lots of politics, racial tension and brutality. He is clearly trying to say something.

The movie was at the halfway mark and I was becoming bored and restless but then, thankfully, it started moving along. Tarantino loves long movies but he could easily cut them to 2 hours instead of 3 to alleviate the long drawn out nothingness.

Brilliant performances from Jackson, Goggins (I loved him in Justified, he is a real talent), Jason Leigh and Russell. Lots of witty and humorous quips but when it ended I just felt like something was missing.

I intend to see The Hateful Eight this week too so don't share any spoilers.

I started watching a Tarantino tv show recently. The Dusk Before the Dawn. Certainly not everyones' cup of tea, a bit gory and very very weird Shocked

I had to go see Pulp Fiction twice to make sense of it.

Ditto.

In fact, I went three times.

I've seen all of his films at least 6 or 7 times.

With one hand in a pocket that needs mending - right?

I thought that about the last two movies. It really is a movie for teenagers, and I think that's where the series was aimed. I'm 36 years old, and probably 16 years passed who the films catered. But I did like the first two movies. Mockingjay might get purchased, just to complete the collection.

Saw that the other night on television. Well, perhaps about 10 minutes worth. Thought they took the Hitler bashing too obsessively. I had a dvd copy of the movie, but I think I gave it away to a pawn shop for $1.

The Intern. Absolutely brilliant acting and a beautiful movie.
Robert De Niro, and Anne Hathaway.

I have almost perfect hearing in both ears, and yet some American accents and habits of speech where they swallow words or roll them into one another means I miss understanding words every five sentences or so. In this clip, quite literally I couldn't keep up with what they were saying.

ah ha! That is something I don't have a problem with Grin

as I have terrible hearing in both ears, I read the sub titles.

And here is he interesting thing.....before sub titles existed, we would watch a film and I would be constantly asking "What did he/she say?" much to the annoyance of everyone, then saying they miss the next part because repeating stuff to me!
But now, sub titles help with all them accent/speech/pronunciation/mumbling/music too loud over the dialogue glitches, and now, it is hubby that asks me "What did he/she say?" Tongue

Talk about turning the tables eh? Grin

So with that, I wouldn't have a clue what you mean Herb Grin

but having said that, what did you think of the movie apart from the rolling of their accent?

Good on you, Lady Lols! Now I know who to blame for all that chatter I used to hear in the cinemas all those years ago!

This movie looks like it could be fun to watch. It's a 'Situation Comedy' type film in which witty dialogue and characterisations are the main ingredients.

I'll keep my eye out for it when it arrives on our television sets.

l liked his "The reservoir dogs"

No way, no way. Tried it once, doesn't work. You got four guys all fighting over who's gonna be Mr. Black, but they don't know each other, so nobody wants to back down. No way. I pick. You're Mr. Pink. Be thankful you're not Mr. Yellow.

Yes, hired blu-ray The Martian and it seemed to be a long movie, but was really good science fiction with some science facts re: the technology.
