Baby Driver was fun
Hard Eight is good but inconsequential in comparison to everything else
Django and H8 are a step down from every other QT work by pretty solid margins

 

it felt like a weird balance of how he typically mixes comedy/dialogue-heavy scenes with set pieces. much of it felt like set pieces for the sake of set pieces, with very little else to grasp on to. a glorified music video. also disagree with the sympathetic point. if anything, I'm more to the movie because it's him and how much I love his other films. i think I set my own personal bar too high for it.

 

Never realized people thought Django was bad.

 

Django is definitely the first time I felt QT’s cracks starting to show. I attributed it at least partially to the loss of Sally Menke

 

did not realize people disliked Baby Driver

 

some amount of people dislike pretty much every film ever made. is this your first time on the internet

 

I realized in the last several years that I don’t actually like QT that much. And his movies are often far too long for their content.

 

I love all movies. The experience of the cinema. Bright lights big city baby

 

Notting Hill is just lovely.

 

one of my all-time favorites.

 

baby driver??

 

nonono. Notting Hill. I liked Baby Driver at the time though, thin but just from a technical perspective valuable. Great Jamie Foxx and Jon Hamm performances.

 

where was notting hill discussed haha?

 

do you have anyone blocked on this website...?

 

several. yes, that explains it.

 

But yeah Notting Hill is soooo good! I watched it today while I was working. Last year for our honeymoon, the wife and I went to London and we went to a few of Notting Hill filming locations, which was fun.

 

i know I joke about your takes being awful all the time but they're mostly good.

this one. this one is actually awful.

 

as was the sharon tate theater scene

 

My first time in theaters I really liked it but did feel it was bloated, but on repeat viewings I think it's close to perfect.

 

Yeah, I wasn't a fan of Once Upon a Time in Hollywood. There were brilliant moments but it definitely felt bloated.

 

I don’t think there’s one thing I’d cut

 

Yeah I rewatched it a month or so ago and it’s pretty perfect.

 

I need to see it again. I only watched it the one time in theaters opening week.

 

i’d cut emile hirsch!
