What's bad about the ending?

Wish I could join the unabashed Phoenix love but man did I find the story contrived as hell. It's powerful on a metaphorical level, but not on a literal one, with the exception of the ending which sent me into full-body shivers even though I could plainly see that the entire narrative was constructed specifically for it.

Orange, Jackie Brown, Max Cherry, Django and King Schultz all mostly qualify as heroes, I think.

I'm voting for S. Craig Zahler for sure.

I'm gonna be traveling 30 hours on a train to see this in 70mm in Moscow. Of course I'll be doing other shit there but I wouldn't go if it weren't for this. What the hell, right?

Pretty sure Tarantino claimed that he wrote Roth's part for him, it may be similar to how Waltz would have played it but at no point was he actually supposed to play it.

Enjoyed the first third but everything after it got weaker and weaker, except maybe for the big Jobs vs Woz scene in the climax. It comes across like three shortened full-length biopics in one, or three episodes of a TV drama taken from season 1, season 4 and season 7 and stitched together using callbacks. The Jobs vs Sculley in Act 2 is such a loud and furious argument and all I could think of was "why am I supposed to give a shit again?". Katherine Waterston's two big scenes are essentially the same. The revelation of Jobs' father just comes and goes with zero build-up. And yeah, the ending is just bad.

I bet they'll end up being wrong on half of those.

Is Jada Pinkett Smith the supporting actress in XXL?

He still needs to play a psychotic stalker before I'd seriously compare him to Jimmy Stewart. But yeah you both make solid points.

Huh. I thought Hanks was mostly just playing Hanks in BOS, which he obviously is great at but it was hardly anything revelatory. Then again, in a year as weak as this I wouldn't mind seeing him in the Best Actor race at all.

In addition to being hugely entertaining, this has to be the most genuinely warm, inclusive and all-around good-natured movie of the year. It starts as your typical buddy road movie, but by the end casually grows into a touching picture of what people of different races, sexes, gender identities and sexualities can be to one another, and in that sense it's a hundred times more inspirational than any movie that openly announces itself as being so. The humor works, the actors' enthusiasm is infectious, and Soderbergh (sorry, Peter Andrews) does beautiful work behind the camera (the beach scene with Tatum and Heard is especially striking). Loved it.

This could be something really special if done right. Hoping the trailer hits soon.

Or Amy.

Fury Road 5 times.

Shouldn't have dismissed it so quickly.

Eh, it's not like he's Dennis Dugan or something.

As long as there's less dialogue. And "jokes".

I keep reading everywhere about how mean and nasty this is, and while that only makes me more excited, add the length and the lack of Best Picture buzz and I seriously doubt this gets to 100. I hope it at least reaches Kill Bill unadjusted.
