      I don’t think you read what I wrote, my friend. Me hating one of his movies doesn’t mean his entire filmography isn’t for me. I have enjoyed the vast majority of his films, believe it or not. I just really hated that one.

      And as for Once Upon A Time In Hollywood, it’s not because he made it that I don’t care to watch it, it’s because I don’t like Hollywood movies about Hollywood. I find most of them to be pretentious, navel gazing and deeply uninteresting.

            It kinda is navel gazing though. Sort of like how Inglorious Basterds (which I would recommend) is alternate history about some violent dudes killing bad guys, the Hollywood movie is like that… except Hollywood.

            So instead of Brad Pitt playing a bad ass that kills Hitler, it’s Brad Pitt playing a bad ass killing the Manson family cultists before they do those murders. Maybe the implication is that Roman Polanski wouldn’t have become a child rapist if that happened? There’s some kind of implication that 70s Hollywood was awesome until the Manson family ruined everything.

            Anyway, it’s basically like Inglorious Basterds, but Hollywood. Definitely one of Tarantino’s weaker movies, maybe better than Hateful 8 (seemed more like a stage play to me) but not by much. Unless, like Tarantino, you get off on women showing off their dirty feet while watching 70s movies, you can probably give it a miss.
