PBS ran a series on science fiction in movies, TV, etc., and he was one of the people interviewed. It might have been his last interview. sigh ....
'The Killer In Me'
Buffista Movies Across the 8th Dimension!
A place to talk about movies--old and new, good and bad, high art and high cheese. It's the place to place your kittens on the award winners, gossip about upcoming fims and discuss DVD releases and extras. Spoiler policy: White font all plot-related discussion until a movie's been in wide release two weeks, and keep the major HSQ in white font until two weeks after the video/DVD release.
Oh man, the lovefest for Once Upon A Time In Hollywood has started on Twitter and I just want to hide under the covers until this movie goes away. I found it tedious, at least 2 hours too long, painfully racist and borderline pedophiliac (I do NOT need to see QT's foot fetish on display ever again, and especially not when the feet in question all belong to teenage girls). I wanted to take a yearlong shower after the screening ended.

So perhaps not the best choice for a long-distance movie date with the Math Greek this weekend?
Everyone publicly online this week seems to think it's a masterpiece. I...disagree. So if nothing else it will be good for an after-movie talk?
I'll be seeing it next week, and hope to find the performances enjoyable at least, but I hear your complaints with a bit of a shudder in anticipation. Hope the fun outweighs the ick.

Interesting, I've seen plenty of "not for me" reactions, first and foremost by my critic friends here, who, sadly were not granted +1s for the screening.

That's a relief! Good to know I'm not alone.
I have no interest in watching anything Tarentino, and nothing fictionally coveting real murders in what seems like a really unnecessary way.
For people looking for alternative titles to catch on multiplex, see if you have "Wild Rose" playing nearby. It's about a Scottish country singer freshly out of jail, desperate to get to Nashville. It's a scrappy heartwarmer, with a star turn by its lead, Jessie Buckley, who's got an amazing soulful voice. It manages to be feel-good while maintaining spiky edges.

Thiiiiis. I have come to understand that I just don't like his movies.
