Once Upon a Time in... Hollywood | July 26 2019 | Digital Foot Technology | RIP Cinerama Dome

Saw it a while back, and am still thinking about it. Less about the plot, and more about the atmosphere it created and the feelings it evoked. Definitely an "experience" film.

I had surgery last Monday and haven’t been able to see this yet. Finally going today, after a week of feeling left out! 

 

Bring it on, Tarantino! 

[Krissykins]

Loved it. 

 

Especially the last half hour. I feel like quite a lot could’ve been cut from the middle section of the film. Leo was incredible. 

 

4/5

How is it doing OS? Anyone knows? It's getting a slow rollout no?

It's doing spectacular in Bulgaria (opened last Friday). Young people are flowing to the cinemas, while old communists are foaming at the mouth (they really hate the man, lol).

 

PS: Checked the data: it's made for the first weekend HALF of what Toy Story 4 made for its entire run. And weekends in BG are not what they are in the US: they are 1/10th of the whole run at best - not 1/3rd or even just a half, sometimes.

Did a bit more digging, so here's some easy data about

 

RECENT SUMMER OWs IN BULGARIA:

 

Tarantino 9 --- 17 000 tickets

Pikachu --- 4000 tickets (lol)

Aladdin --- 32 000 tickets (yay!!)

Toy Story 4 --- 6000 tickets!! (LOL! AHAHAHAHAH!!) - Funny fact, it actually lost the 1st place in its opening weekend to Annabelle 3, lol.

Spiderman 7 --- 18 000 tickets

Alita --- 16 000 tickets

 

Say what you will, but we obviously show MUCH better taste than the US (and Latin America) Yay for the man Quentin!

Oh, wow, OUATIH OW almost as big as FFH.

Empty movies are convinient.

The void they create is so disturbing it becomes genius because you fill it with whatever you want.

That s basically the definition of modern "(art)", selling emptiness as high art.

Vomit on a canevas weird forms and colors and sell it 25M dollars at Sothebys  20 years later.

Genius.

Told ya.

Though of course Tarantino will make more films this  elt like a goodbye movie by him. Didn't expect it to be as innocent (again relative to his other films) and I guess maybe "nice?" (there's one adjective I wanna use but would maybe be a spoiler). His best one since Inglorious Bastards.

Yeh I agree. I would actually consider it a “feel good” film 😂

Never bet against Leo. He would take even an Ari Aster movie to over 100M dom and 300M WW.

yes, but a release date has been suspended.

[Valonqar]

Finally got to see this movie today!! I liked it fine, but my mom hated it. She said that nothing happened. Though she thought the actors did a good job. She also said that the ending is "what should have happened". 

 

Things I liked the best: 

• THE SOUNDTRACK. If this gets a vinyl release i'm for sure buying it. 
• Brad Pitt. He looked amazing and was the essence of cool throughout. 
• The sincerity of how Leo played Rick Dalton. He was fully committed to seeming out of the loop. 
• The dog. 

• Quote

  seeing the real sharon tate on the movie screen. i thought that was a sweet gesture.

   

Things I was meh about:

• the plot. not really sure what the story of this movie was supposed to be. it basically seemed like a collection of entertaining scenes. maybe a character study???
• margot's role as sharon tate. i wish she would've gotten more to do. she seemed more of a plot device than an actual character in the movie. i would've loved to learn more about sharon or have her interact with cliff and rick more (or at all lol).
• ETA: i also thought bruce lee's role was odd. it seemed insulting but i'm willing to put it down to unreliable narrator. also the noises were over the top i thought until i asked my mom and she said that the real bruce lee did that. jfc.

At least we know the reviews would be fantastic if Ari is involved too  

[NamakFiskKa]

Saw it today and just realized and can't help myself but draw uncanny similarities between this movie's real life/meta events and the first half of a Bollywood Om Shanti Om 🤔 

 

Anyone else think same ?
