    The Hateful 8 has got to be one of his worse films. I hope it fails miserably in the next round....

    Really? I love that film. I don't think it's his best, but I would definitely rank it above quite a few of his others.

    A little sad to a most wanted man not doing so well. It a great well thought out movie and Philip Seymour Hoffman, plus the rest of the cast is really good.

    I love Hateful Eight as well. But I would probably put it in the bottom half of his stuff. That said his worst movies are still better than a lot of directors best movies.

    Hateful 8 is not the best Tarantino movie, but I rather enjoyed it. Part of my enjoyment was seeing it opening day in a theater that showed it in true 70mm widescreen, and it had an actual 15 minute intermission.

    Yes! The "Roadshow" version. You got a nice glossy booklet with your ticket. I did think it funny that Tarantino emphasized the 70mm aspect for a film that was, by and large, set in a single room.

    It still looked amazing. And the intermission was great for those who had a beer or two.

    I still have that awesome glossy booklet from my viewing. And yes, the 15 minute intermission certainly added to the experience. Everything about that theater viewing experience was amazing.

    ^Agreed!

    And The Hateful Eight is one of my favorite Tarantino films, just below Kill Bill.

    Come, now. It's not his best, but it's not a bad film. It does such a great job of building tension. It's really a stage play is what it is.

    The Edge of Seventeen with only 13.79%?

    I'm guessing this is because nobody has seen it? It's at 94% on RT.
    Hearts are tough, she said, most times hearts don't break, and I'm sure that's right . . . but what about then? What about who we were then? What about hearts in Atlantis?
