Totally with ya there, Clitterbug. Anyrhing by Tarrantino, regardless of subject matter, has to be checked out. Thats the kind of reputation you just cant buy. Coupled with the cast..he had me at Snake Plisken, sorry, Kurt Russell and Sam Jackson. At a run time of 168 mins though am gonna have to find 3 hours spare to watch it (no mean feat this time of year haha).

Its taken a little while since downloading it but last night, finally, i got around to watching 'The Hateful Eight'. My verdict : i really enjoyed it. The film is by no means Tarrantinos finest but still dos a bloody good job. Kurt Russell aside, can see how many are calling this ' John Carpenters The Thing as a western'. Plot wise if nothing else there re definite similarities..but thats no bad thing. Given the simple enough premise and the films almost 3 hour run time you would expect the film to drag but it doesnt. Think this is largely down to the films leads basically chewing up each and every scence they are in. The sense of paranoia is expertly portrayed. Comic relief comes largely by way of Jennifer Jason Leighs character but im not gonna say how, spoilers. Coupled with trademark Tarrantino levels of gore at times, gorgeous cinematography and a great soundtrack..personally i cant recommend this enough.

I'm not the biggest fan of Quentin Tarantino, but I'd like to see this film after watching the trailer. I like the premise and it looks beautifully shot. It looks like it has a solid cast too. I like the idea of Tarantino directing a western and the fact that it won't be like other films in that genre. I think all of his films are well made, although at times I think too heavy handed with excessive violence and bad language. I like the fact he makes films how he wants and doesn't seem to be held back by the studios.

The last time I got really excited over a Tarantino film was Kill Bill Vol 1! The fight scenes are crazy, but very entertaining :)

Havnt you seen Django Unchained then? its a 'MOTHER FUCKING BLOOD BATH' brilliant movie

Shit, I forgot about Django Unchained! I've never seen that, for some reason I wasn't enthusiastic about it at the time. I can't remember why because I usually watch a film with DiCaprio in. Now you've mentioned it I'll watch the trailer. Bloodbath goes without saying! I still haven't seen Death Proof either thinking about it. That was another Tarantino film that didn't interest me but I can't remember why?

I think Pulp Fiction, Kill Bill Vol 1 and Inglorious Bastards are the ones I've seen the most times. Violent, entertaining and even funny :)

Compared to many of Tarrantino's previous efforts 'The Hateful Eight' is not action packed by any means, it really is a slow boiler but its all the better for it as it trys and succeeds in building a sense of doubt and paranoia comparable to films such as 'The Thing'. Again, i loved this film and the fact the Jennifer Jason Leigh has not been nominated for an Oscar is criminal (the amount she has done to her in the film or stuff she has to put up with should place her in the running at the very least).
