Tarantino also wrote and directed the martial arts films “Kill Bill: Volume 1” and “Kill Bill: Volume 2”, which were released in 2003 and 2004; the 1997 crime thriller “Jackie Brown”; and the 2007 horror film “Death Proof”. In a flick that’s rarely understated, they manage something fairly subtle, so I figured that was worth appreciating a bit today. Adding to the allure is that Tarantino, along with cinematographer Robert Richardson, make the film look as if it is indeed from a previous era. Distrust turns to suspicion when murder occurs, with the plot becoming somewhat of a whodunit, before exploding into even more violence. Ennio Morricone’s score (some of it new, some of it old) perfectly compliments the morbid picture that unfolds in front of us, and every other aspect of the film on the technical side is superb. Madsen, Dern, Bichir, and Channing Tatum all give strong supporting performances as well. I am beginning to worry that Tarantino has gone down the rabbit hole. It works great, but he still couldn’t help himself from using White Stripes, which seemed contrary to the more classical aesthetic he establishes. The scene is beautifully shot and compellingly acted, but it’s also an uncharacteristically adult piece of writing for Tarantino, all insinuation and veiled menace. One of the first times walked this sidewalk was when I came to see Diamonds Are Forever.

Copies of films that studios consider as having a chance of getting an Oscar nomination are sent out on DVD to members of the Academy in the final weeks of each year. According to TorrentFreak, the copy of “The Hateful Eight”, which is “extremely clean and free from timestamps”, has been downloaded over 220,000 times already. After all, the category is all but designed for veterans to get their due. You think a character has wrapped up an entertaining monologue, but no, he has to keep going for a few more beats, lessening the impact of the overall moment. Though many of these are secure and watermarked to ensure that this doesnt happen, Torrent Freak reports that so far this year a number of prestigious titles, including The Hateful Eight and The Revenant have still managed to find their way online. Although, at one point, I felt as though I was watching a wild, wild, west version of Clue. I’d rather Tarantino have this power than, say, Michael Bay, but it comes with a price. He does things unlike anyone else in the industry. Really bad can become untenable if enough people get sick of it. That was a big thing about why I ended up taking part in that rally and ended up voicing my opinion and declaring what side I was standing on.
