Watched this again on 4K. I liked it more than I did in the theatre, now that I knew what I was getting, if that makes any sense.

For the most part, I just like taking in the visuals and the soundtrack. Brad Pitt is so chill, and DiCaprio is great as well. Casting was well done for the most part, except for Smallmouth from Homeland as Steve McQueen...he's fucking horrible even in his bit role, and his wardrobe and wig are atrocious. I could've done without Robbie's manky feet all over the camera in the cinema, but whatever. Glad I watched it again. It's definitely one of his better ones in the past bunch of years.

Ok so keep hearing that QT is working on a longer edit of the film. Hearing that it will be on Netflix and be a bit over 4 hours long... Not sure if I want a longer cut. The film to me was good but was also a bit long.

Yeah, it really lost steam in the third act, so unless there was a shitload of exciting stuff that got chopped, longer would NOT be better for that one.

Comes out in a few days. I've always wondered how Tarantino would go as an author. First day purchase for me.

I haven't had time to get too far into this but its.... something. if you thought Tarantino needed an editor on the screen wait till you see him on the page The chapter about Cliffs love of foreign cinema has to be one of the most long winded boring things I've ever read. I don't care which Japanese films Cliff likes. Or maybe I do but keep it brief please. It just keeps going and going. I assume these are the film Tarantino likes- which could be intersting- but it means less when its being filtered through Cliff because maybe they're Cliffs takes rather entirely Quentins

Find his prose awkward too which surprises me. Doesnt help that its written in the present tense. That always hits my eye wrong.

He's supposedly started writing a Reservoir Dogs novel. I look forward to 20 pages of Mr. Orange listing his favourite Ringo Lam movies.

He goes so far as to put a list of Cliffs top 5 Kurosawa movies. Its kind of like those rambling bits in American Psycho but unironic.

dude is in a lot of shows and podcasts right now to promote the shit out of his book. I recently checked out his interview on marc maron's podcast ... boy, seems like he hates his father with a passion and refuses to ever meet him.

I didn't know that tony tarantino and al pacinos estranged dad made some shitty crime movies in the late 90s - need to check them out asap.

In the interviews he's tossed out the possibilty of making his 10th (and he promises last) film either a remake of Reservoir Dogs or a new Rambo film of all things. Probably, mostly interview spitballing

I kind of expected that's what the whole book would be like which is why I've not bothered haha.
