Date: October 13th, 2026 11:44 PM Author: Simp Like Hell I saw it again for the first time since its original theatrical release. My opinion of this movie improved substantially. It went from about a D to a B+. For some reason the elements that bothered me before weren't as bad. It's obviously not as good as Pulp Fiction. The writing isn't that tight, the dialog not as memorable, the plot non-existent and the pacing molasses. That being said it's got some funny moments. For a film that's more of a hang than a narrative you could do worse. I also think it's better than Django Unchained and The Hateful Eight. It's his best since Inglorious Basterds.
I think OUATIH could really have been improved by Quentin hiring some joke writers. There were too many meh punchlines where the whole setup is there and it's supposed to be hilarious but it's just whatever. He needs a partner to improve the script. |

|
Date: October 14th, 2026 7:46 AM Author: Serf's Up! (gunneratttt) I don't think it needs any punching up. There's enough comic relief. It's an homage to Hollywood epics of yesteryear. A love letter. Which, of course, fits the whole theme of the movie. Times change and there's beauty in that, but we can still look back nostalgically through a brand new experience.

Date: October 14th, 2026 11:46 AM Author: Simp Like Hell It was beautiful but also self indulgent, plodding, overly long, and the writing and humor wasn't as tight as it could have been. I definitely liked it more than the first time I saw it. I could get into it. It was like Inherent Vice with extra slow pacing, which, ironically, made it better than Inherent Vice. But let's not overinflate it. There were plenty of dud gags and unnecessary moments. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=5912673&forum_id=2#50189274) |

Date: October 14th, 2026 12:54 PM Author: Serf's Up! (gunneratttt) I thought it was a masterpiece. And I'm not just inflating it because I'm a Tarantino fan.

i've talked to a lot of WW2 vets. none of them ever mentioned kikes. let alone hinted that every day when they woke up in europe everyone was running around obsessed with kikeshit.
hundreds of thousands of people died for a cause, and the entire reason has been hijacked by some random uninvolved crooks. |

Date: October 14th, 2026 8:27 PM Author: justETHbaby It gets better with age because its a period piece. The shittier America gets the more fondly we look back at 60's LA. 1969 was by far the most interesting year in the last century. Also, on first watch I think we all thought Leo was the main guy to pay attention to but Brad Pitt's character is far more interesting on rewatch.

They should be cranking out nostalgiacore movies about the old days nonstop. I'd watch one about the 70s 80s and 90s too. |

Date: October 14th, 2026 8:39 PM Author: justETHbaby The style of movies and how they were made was so much better back then too. I find myself watching 80's and 90's action movies that I haven't watched in a while. No CGI, unrealistic female protagonists, or stupid love triangles. Bourne Identity, Patriot Games, Terminator, The Fugitive, US Marshalls, Executive Decision, The Hunt for Red October etc. All so much more enjoyable than the Michael Bay style slop.

Date: October 14th, 2026 8:45 PM Author: Simp Like Hell Ofs. There's no question.
T2 Judgement Day is probably the perfect example of a director just giving the audience 100% of what the average person wants in a two hour flick. The plot is simple. The actors are cool. The visuals, spectacular. The emotions, simplistic and easy to understand. Wham bam thank you mam.
Nowadays we have people bitching on Twitter that James Hetfield won't make a political speech about Palestine during a rock concert. It's all gone to shit. Everything will just keep getting worse.
