Don't [Hateful 8] the Playa (SPOILERS)
Yes, the thread title is a particularly stupid pun, shut up, no u.
This is where we go to talk about Quentin Tarantino's most newest movie, The Hateful 8, starring eight people who, I am to understand, do not care for one another very much.
No spoiler tags necessary in here, so if you don't want shit spoiled, this is not the place for you.

I still think despite how genuinely unlikable all the characters were, and their ultimate fate, Inglorious Basterds was a more bleak movie. At the end of this, all the characters at least overcame their differences and hanged a horrible white woman in some kind of attempt at justice. It was dark, but simultaneously uplifting.

nah he pretty much said off the bat that he didn't trust anyone in the Haberdashery either, he just didn't have the choise to keep going to kicking them out. Made sure to grab their guns though.
They certainly "uplifted" her, yes.
One thing I realized walking out of the theatre, Warren's story of raping the General's son was a lie. He's totally bullshiting to get Sutherford to go for the gun. What tipped me off was that Warren gave zero details about the son that he couldn't have overheard.
And he's not exactly beyond lying to manipulate dumbass white people.

I haven't made it all the way through this but it's a bit about working on the set and the difference between this movie and the typical setup.

There's also one with Tarantino but that's about an hour of interview all together.
Or, alternatively, as s video game, a sort of procedural adventure game. Random characters every time, you know.
Yeah, I think about games too much, haha.

I dunno with this particular lie we're shown him doing it. It's not exactly cut and dry that he didn't rape the generals son.

It's just a bit too convenient. More likely he saw this ass hole and thought to himself 'bet I can get him to pick up a gun'.
I definitely think it's meant to be ambiguous. He does give a physical description of the guys kid but I don't remember if that was mentioned before he might have overheard. The entire elaborate story seemed pretty outlandish for the guy who never bothers to take people alive since killing them quick is less risky.
One scene ends with him being shot from below, falling onto the ground; the next scene (with him) starts with him on the bed.
Aka, why wasn't Jackson shot a few more times, whilst on the ground, as he didn't fall very far, well within line of sight.
And one criticism - the superfluous narration to start the second half. Obvious flashback is obvious.
You aren't shown, its the father picturing it, This is why Warren says "seeing pictures?". It's meant to ensure that you don't know if it happened or not. We also get a real time jump per QT's normal style, this wasn't like that. This is more like the pulp fiction hypothetical scene where the wife comes home and sees the body.
Still ambiguous to me. I could see him putting the shine on to get the general to pull on him. I could also see him wanting to do something to harm the man that murdered a bunch of black people in cold blood.

I think that last bit is absolutely true. If he doesn't go into it there is no way the general learns of it in that room and so nobody dies (well....) Warren clearly wanted to fucking cap the guy.
Arsenic by the way, that's what my friends figured was the poison in the coffee. Its either that or hydrochloric acid that would make you spit up blood and since the coffee pot didn't leak I assume it was Arsenic.

Nah the narration was Tarantino as fuck and I loved it. It is exactly the kind of excess I want and quite frankly expect in his movies.
Speaking of that scene the poison was hilarious. Absolutely no symptoms whatsoever so you assume he only had a sip and was OK, then BAM bloodvomit everywhere.

I know very few films will do it in the future but I wish they would.

I like trailers, but yeah the pre-show advertising is awful.
Need Drafthouse pre-shows at all theaters!
Yep. It was really dumb in the regular showing.
I don't like Trailers anymore because with youtube I've seen every trailer I want to see prior to seeing any movie. I mean sure there is "seeing it on the big screen" but eh for a trailer its not that big of a thing its an advertisement, and with like star wars I had to sit through thirty plus minutes of them its more than a little obnoxious.

Also "Jane Got a Gun" which is in the running for worst movie title ever.
Jane Got a Gun was in development hell and it shows. It looks like an even worse version of that January Jones western if that was possible.

Watching the roadshow I went "oh I wonder if this is the x extra minutes of footage". Surprising that its in the regular release.

Looking for a black general with a bounty on his head?
Nah he turned to helping pretty fast when he could have just walked away. I get the impression Mannix is honest if not a bit slow. I can't recall him really lying about anything in the movie?
Like he was proud of what he and his family did and did not hide from it with Marquis and Ruth when he had every reason to claim "oh no not that Chris Mannix!"
