The New Tarantino Film

had its ok but a bit too long, 3 hours apprently

didn't really rate Inglorious Basterds, in particular i didn't see anything special in Waltz's rabid chewing of the scenery and the alternate reality was distracting.

this is much better and good fun, a sort of western whodunnit.

Agree with EO that this is in top 2 of Tarantino movies.

Saw it last week. Can't say I was particularly blown away. Visually very good but felt it was very, very slow.

Available here if you don't fancy forking out a tenner at the cinema. Nothing to download or anything like that.

Anything by Tarantino is very special.

I think he is overrated and pinches most of his ideas anyway, but some scenes in his films are just brilliant. But a lot of the time he gets in his own way and too much violence, that opening scene in Inglorious Basterds was very tense,and he is very good at racking up the tension. A lot of scenes in Pulp Fiction were brillint and Django Unchained. He can create a lot of tension without so much gratuitous violence, but in his style a lot of blood has to be splattered around.

The Hateful Eight could have been a lot better than it was, some good things in it. At nearly 3 hours it was much longer than it needed to be, could have been a much better film if cut to 2 hours. Too much talking and violence, and far too long, it was like a Western version of Lawrence of Arabia !  Tarantino would be a lot better if he had someone to slow him down and just rein him in a bit.

I don't think Tarantino has ever had an original idea. And I read in the paper last week that some writers are going to launch legal action, alleging Tarantino lifted characters and plotlines from their screenplay for his film Django Unchained. Took them a long time, the film came out a few years ago !!

Jackie Brown was a lot better than his later stuff.

Django Unchained was poor in my view.  Good acting badly let down by a shoddy plot and script.  Will watch his latest movie next week.

I like the fact that he allows his scenes and indeed films to breathe. Sure he's a filmic magpie but as countless artists have shown if you nick good stuff and stick it with other good stuff sometimes you can produce great stuff. The Stones built a career on it.

pulp fiction was a laugh when i was a teenager, fairly juvenile but back then so was i, i'm over 30 thirty now so well outgrown tarantino, the noddy books, and replica football shirts.

agree the girl was outstanding, reminded me of her in the exorcist many years ago

I remember that interview well with Krishnan Guru or whatever he's called who runs Garth Crookes and Diane Abbott to a dead heat in the affirmative action, ethnic half wit, feigning intelligence with impenetrable bollox, pregnant pauses and earnestly pained facial expressions competition.

I'm closing your butt down was even better than when he folded that idiot Spike Lee in half for telling Tarantino off for using the N word in his films.

Id never heard of this streaming site Mr Eboue.
Seems a strange business model to offer streams like this, how legal is it or is that a silly question?
