Excellent combination of lore and modern story line.

Hateful 8- (2015 Extended Version) 76% Rotten Tomatoes Audience Score. Basically how to waste 4 hours of your life. I only hung in there because of the name Tarentino, waiting, hoping for a payoff. Hopes dashed, lol.
- Best Quality: Photography, it really felt like this was filmed in a blizzard in Wyoming. Nice cinematography for what there was of the outdoors. I wondered if this was cgi or real snow.
- Favorite actor: Walton Goggins, as Sherrif Mannix.
- Characters: Almost interesting if they had been connected to a good story.
- Story: I guess it could of happened like this, but the role of a story teller is to pull you in, wow you with his/her brilliance. After the first of 4, approx 1 hour episodes, with endless slightly colorful, but droning chit chat, I was like, get to the point. I hung on because of the name Tarantino.
- Acting: Over acted or if you prefer flamboyant acting. I’m sure the director wanted this. In light of the other mentioned factors. these characters were on the edge of being interesting.
- Dialog: Labored, lots of almost intriguing interactions.
- Violence: Extreme with gallons of blood pouring out of people, a Tarantino tradition, yes?
- Sex: Hmm, male nudity, and a depiction of a forced male/male sex act. No points from me.
- As a 2 Hr movie, I think it would have bombed at the theater. Was it at the theater?
- Episode 4 is the fill in the blanks episode, I did not care at that point.
- Verdict: Spend 4 hours of your life watching something better.
I don't hate Tarantino movies, but I'm somewhat lukewarm to most of them. The non-extended version of "Hateful 8" I actually liked, to my own surprise. There's an "over-the-top-ness" about his films that I sort of think of as "modern camp". Heck, this one, even the title is camp.
I have no idea whether the extended version ever made it into theaters. I suspect not.
I watched “The Giant Mechanical Man” yesterday. I enjoyed it… it stars Jenna Fischer (from The Office).
I think that "camp" is an excellent description, and it is a version of "camp" that is akin to the "camp" one also saw in some spaghetti westerns, with their balletic choreography of bottomless Baroque and - almost operatic - violence.
Fan of Chris Messina too, he's terrific in the latest season of The Sinner.
Spot on, it's absolutely a love letter to revisionist westerns (The Wild Bunch), exploitative flavors of the genre (popularized by Sergio Leone), while maintaining the grand, sweeping visual style of old school traditional western (anything by John Ford), I'd roll Django Unchained into this same sort of hybrid western style of QT's.

Just watched I care a lot on Netflix it was really good and unexpected.
I think the cop was one of her employees like the judge and doctor. ya the baseball cap was silly.I enjoyed it for the most part. It's as advertised but also goes off the rails in ways you wouldn't expect, but also in ways I thought were completely unrealistic. That doesn't have to be a bad thing, but I felt the 1/2 of the movie still stayed in the realm of feasible. Then it just got silly, not the least of which was the police just kind of not investigating anything. Also, they could have chopped off about 20 minutes.
Silliest part for me was Peter Dinklage going into the bank with a baseball cap on and pulling it down so his face wouldn't be caught on the security camera. At the risk of getting canceled, I'm going to say he has other attributes that a baseball cap wouldn't help disguise.

ya for sure.I don’t think a known mob associate could go into an assisted living facility and shoot up the place to kidnap a rich woman and the whole police force would just go “Well, that was random.” and call it a day. Just saying they started out with some sense of feasibility to the whole story, and then went off the rails with things like that. In the beginning I thought it was going to be more like The Big Short of elderly guardianship abuse and corruption.

Checked out Mortal on Amazon. I never heard of it before, but the premise sounded interesting and it was highly rated. I thought it was good. I don't want to give away the twist and will just say if you liked Brightburn then you might like Mortal.
