I know a couple times watching on my computer I got distracted.

I'll finally be able to comment and rate in fairness and objectivity.

I haven't watched Hateful Eight. I just can't find the time to sit down and watch it. And Kill Bill is the only other film that I haven't watched of his. I'd say that Inglorious is the best work that he's done, and Jackie Brown is my favorite.

Pulp fiction is the second on both of those lists from my book. It's not easy to rank his shit. It's all good stuff. I've heard that Once Upon is a love letter to LA, and, or Hollywood. The latter can be both as it is part of the area

If QT pens a love letter to that, then he's writing one to himself as well. He's part of that area and scene. It feels like an homage of his work that he's done whilst doing more work. You can tell that he loves his work and what he's been lucky enough to be apart of

He'll do one last film after this. This should've been his last one, but if he can build upon this with his next one, then just wow. But with all of that being said, I still would like to see what you say after another view as you analyze it

I appreciate your choice of Jackie Brown as your favorite, because it was MY favorite until this came along... JB is probably down a ways on most people’s list, so it’s rare to find someone else claiming it as their #1

The only thing that I can come up with is that it's basically a love story. As close as QT's gonna to ever make, and it has a bittersweet ending unlike most love stories do. People don't like that. And it wasn't as tried and true back then, realistic endings

I just watched Jackie Brown this weekend. I saw it years ago and thought it was okay, but not that great. It has aged well though and I enjoyed it a lot more this time around for some reason.

I think Tarantino must have a foot fetish- Bridget Fonda'a feet in Jackie Brown and plenty of dirty foot action in his latest.

He does and he openly admits it.
