until the Manson family arrives. If Tarantino lives up to his usual violence and gore, this movie is gonna get real interesting.

That's why I wanna watch it. I have an obsession with the Manson Family.
Plus it's got Bruce Lee!

If Brad Pitt's character beats up Bruce Lee, I'm gonna facepalm so hard.

I called it. You heard it here first. I knew this was going to happen.

Yeah, it's unbelievable. He doesn't exactly kick Bruce's ass, but it's still not believable. I've heard people say it's not to be taken literally because Pitt's character is recalling the story in flashback, and also there's a "meta" thing going on, but I think it's overall a misstep. It's a movie that has a lot of great scenes, and a couple of clunkers, and too many scenes overall.

It's ok, everybody will rage like crazy, but they will keep throwing their money at Tarantino anyways.  :cheers:

I must be one of the few people who dislikes Tarantino movies, despite being in the demographic of people who theoretically should. The only one I really liked was Kill Bill Vol 1; everything else, I found overblown, overhyped, with dragging direction and just... I don't know, his movies leave a weird taste in my mouth. Pulp Fiction was annoying. Natural Born Killers similarly annoying. Inglorious Bastards, Django Unchained, nothing really grabs me. And I think I only liked Kill Bill because of the constant references and homages to Shaw Brothers movies. I did like From Dusk Til Dawn, but he only wrote it, and didn't direct.

He didn't do NATURAL BORN KILLERS- Oliver Stone did.
I like most of his movies. I didn't like the HATEFUL EIGHT.
I LOVE JACKIE BROWN!
As far as Bruce Lee getting his ass kicked. Yeah- that ain't realistic. But none of his movies are!
INGLORIOUS BASTERDS- They kill Hitler and his whole entourage in one night!
KILL BILL movies. There are no people on planet earth who are a secret ninja hit squad.
I could go on and on- I ain't expecting historical accuracy. I expect good actors doing insane things. With cool dialouge.

no he didn't write natural born killers that's another one he wrote he also wrote True Romance as well another damn good movies, for me Reservoir Dogs i really love but i never liked the ending at all. my favorite scene is the opening with them all together at the table. Pulp Fiction is my favorite of his i went and saw that 4 times when that came out something i don't normally do.

Jackie Brown i enjoy that one too i have seen it a couple times and i went and saw it when it came out as well, i haven't seen Inglorious bastards yet or Django unchained either, Kill bill my copy of it is the full film together is a good one but it's not my favorite of his either i think i've only seen the entire film 2 or 3 times and that's about it.  i liked Hateful Eight until about the last Half Hr when Channing Tatum is revealed to be downstairs and he comes back up, i can't stand him but that's not why i didn't like the end, for me the last half hr of that falls apart cause until than the film started off strong until than and than it just fell apart.

from Dusk till dawn yeah he wrote it and co-starred in it i never liked that he dies in it though,  From Dusk till dawn damn i love that movie the making of it honestly is really boring sadly, i love watching stuff like that but that one is really boring.  one that he didn't write and that is a really awful film is (1995)'s Destiny  Turns on the Radio WOW is that one bad, than you have (1995)'s Desperado and i know he didn't make that one or write it but he was in it.

also (1995)'s Four Rooms i really really love that movie i haven't seen the entire thing in years but i went and saw that one too when it 1st came out and with my brother too which i haven't seen a movie with him in 4 years.  i can't remember if i posted any of this before my apologies if i have

before i forgot you don't have to be a QT fan that's fine if you aren't i love the guy but i don't worship his stuff nor do i think everything he's done is good either.

anyways, i'm a huge Kevin Smith fan i just love the guy and he seems to be one of the most honest in hollywood or one of the most honest anyways,

and pretty down to earth if you listen to his podcast but i had NO idea until the other night that his daughter is in QT's new film at all. i forget who she played but i wonder how good or bad she is in the thing? for those who have seen it how was she? she's blond look her up on IMDB if you dunno what she looks like.

Tarantino wrote the original sceenplay for NATURAL BORN KILLERS, which Oliver Stone bought and changed so much that Tarantino disowned the script.

Kevin Smith's daughter just played one of the Manson family. She didn't stand out, but there were no bad performances in the film.
I'll take you places the hand of man has not yet set foot...

well at least she wasn't awful ya know?

The reaction from Bruce Lee's student and training partner:
"Bruce Lee would have never said anything derogatory about Muhammad Ali because he worshiped the ground Muhammad Ali walked on. In fact, he was into boxing more so than martial arts.  He was never, in my opinion, cocky. Maybe he was cocky in as far as martial arts because he was very sure of himself. He was worlds ahead of everyone else. But on a set, he's not gonna show off."


And from Bruce Lee's daughter....
"I understand they want to make the Brad Pitt character this super bad-ass who could beat up Bruce Lee, but they didn't need to treat him in the way that white Hollywood did when he was alive."

"It was really uncomfortable to sit in the theater and listen to people laugh at my father.  He's the one with all the puffery and he's the one challenging Brad Pitt. Which is not how he was."

There's also a comment from her that Lee was often challenged to fights on set and went out of his way to avoid them, but I don't have an exact quote on that.
