The Quentin Tarantino Thread

[Bringer Of Funerals]

I liked Inglorious Basterds better than Django Unchained. I found Django way too long and the last 45 mins could have cut. I found the Franco Nero cameo pointless and the Quentin camero stupid.

The best thing in the film was Leo Dicapio - but saying that I still want to see Hateful 8. I didn't know it was a follow on to Unchained.

What do people think of Kill Bill Vol 2?

Personally, I prefer it to Volume One, but then I'm not a massive fan of 'the whole bloody affair' (or any of Tarantino's post Jackie Brown output). The second film's western sensibility is more in tune with my own tastes.

I thought it was too slow and didn't have the sense of fun and adventure of the first 'volume', which promised so much. It perhaps created expectations that Kill Bill would be Tarantino's magnum opus which, even in its entirety, it isn't, so I left the cinema feeling disappointed and prefer the first 'half' of the 'whole bloody affair'.

I prefer Vol 1, but I did watch vol 2 right after Vol 1

It's fair to say there is a good argument to be made for both cases.

Definitely - some are clear homages/rip-offs or whatever you might want to call it but film grammar and composition is limited and sometimes there's only one way to film someone shooting someone while they're hunched under a bed in an effective cinematic way

I just watched Django Unchained on BD and for some reason at least this scene is missing. I remember clearly seeing it on the cinema and it is even in the OST CD. This is just before they enter the saloon and then kill the sheriff, right?
Does anyone know anything about this?
