Getting rave reviews (....yeah I know). I might regret saying this, but I'm quite excited about seeing this.
Anyone else?

Yeah, but I'm not a big Tarantino fan. I can't trust him.
It's more about seeing those actors re-enacting that period.

I'm cautiously optimistic.

I haven't liked one of his films since Jackie Brown. Inglorious Basterds was particularly bad. That was the point at which I gave up on him: I haven't bothered watching the last couple.
But this new one does seem unanimously well-received, which none of the last few have been.
I might give it a shot.

I actually enjoyed Hateful Eight up to a point. I found it very watchable ( many complained it was boring and overlong). But ultimately it was a bit empty. I'd struggle to say what it was actually about.
This sounds a bit more substantial. It's curious how little films there have been about Hollywood when you think about it. Perhaps Hollywood wants to protect its secrets. The ones there have been in recent times tend to be by 'outsiders' like Lynch and Cronenberg. Anyway it's a really fascinating period to examine I think. I've got an idea what the twist or surprise, that Tarantino is so eager to protect, might be.

I suspect the late 60s Californian milieu will suit Tarantino more than some of the settings of recent efforts. L.A. is, after all, the home of the pop culture he worships.

Sure, but it's probably better to say he can draw a world vividly and with flair when he has a better understanding of that world.

a female reporter asked him why Margot Robbie didn't have a lot to do in his new movie and the dude got ALL defensive. Robbie saved the day by answering that she found the role challenging and tried to bring more to the role than talking. if she hadn't been there, the headline of the story would have been QUENTIN TARANTINO ACTS LIKE A DICK.

He's a horrible man. Like so many of the not-very-talented.
