The pain her family must go through every time the "gang" comes up for paroleā¦<br /><br />JG - Tarantino is usually just too violent for me. I enjoy his movies, but the amount of spurting blood makes me turn my head a lot. I'm not sure what his obsession with that has to do with. I actually saw him one night at the Chateau. He's a character in real life, too!Davelandhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10720475138513029144noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29249921.post-52479936859684008702021-01-22T10:31:43.036-08:002021-01-22T10:31:43.036-08:00Nice post, Dave.

I was pleased to see the attention paid to classic Hollywood otherwise.<br /><br />I was tickled to see the actors sitting in the same seat I occupied at Musso and Frank. And the time the director spent on the DiCaprio character backstory (if true) was impressive obsession.<br /><br />The film doesn't change my overall impression of Tarantino, but shows that even a blind hog can find an acorn if they hunt long enough.<br /><br />JGAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29249921.post-6939702961612647382021-01-22T10:31:20.266-08:002021-01-22T10:31:20.266-08:00I make it a practice to seldom see R rated movies ...I make it a practice to seldom see R rated movies (movies like Kings Speech being the exception)let alone a Tarantino movie. But I was aware of the time setting and seeing photos popping up on how they were dressing it. Also the fact that they featured KHJ, my favorite radio station growing up, I decided to brace myself and see it. I was a teen/young adult in the 60's and boy did this bring back the look and feel of that time. I remember the murders like it was yesterday. I was in no way a "flower child", if anything I probably could have fit in with The Young Americans" LOL I really liked this movie and have seen it twice. I will probably watch it again sometime in the future. Yes, I agree the ending was very cathartic and it made me wish that is the way things went down. Also, those scenes at the ranch were very creepy.

It's rare that I walk out of a theater but I've left a Tarantino movie twice in the last 20 years. Never looked back. You're probably right about CGI, in that second pic I see a modern vehicle passing in the background.Fifthriderhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06480975804451839176noreply@blogger.com
