I've only watched the pilot so far, and haven't seen the movie it's based on, but that was, like, amazingly good.

The funny thing is, George Clinton makes this same argument in his autobiography, as the reason why he didn't feel like suing over "Blurred Lines" (which was also linked to Funkadelic's "Sexy Ways.")

I don't know, man. It's really not funny. Then again, I don't get the popularity of comedies that expect me to think swearing is subversive and hilarious in the 21st century. Unless it's being spoken by kid-friendly cartoon food products because that's… no fuck that movie, too.

I think it's a movie of great moments. Don't care for all of it, either.

It may be in part that it's been ripped off so often in pop culture that whatever was once fresh about it is now lost. It may also be partly my own experience growing up with it: The whole movie feels stuck in tenth grade.

On the one hand, I don't think Tarantino likes any of his characters less than others, and that goes for his heroes and villains, so he looks at his female characters as equals. But he's also a fairly apolitical filmmaker, and seems to care about the "movieness" of his characters more than human beings.

Agree. Vol 1 is a blast and Vol. 2 is loaded with Tarantino's most self-conscious dialogue. It's his equivalent of Wild At Heart, which was similarly Lynch trying to make a Lynch movie.

1) Pulp Fiction
2) Jackie Brown
3) The first half of Death Proof
4) Kill Bill, Vol. 1
5) Inglourious Basterds
6) The Hateful Eight, I guess.
7) Reservoir Dogs (can't sit through it anymore)
8) Kill Bill, Vol. 2 (Tarantino impersonating himself)
9) The second half of Death Proof
10) Django and the Slavery Fetishism Romp

I don't think he's ever made a good movie (except The Witch, which he only produced.) A Field in England may be the best of them, but even that feels too contemporary for its milieu.

"Meghan Trainor isn't a real feminist like me! Fuck this stupid bitch!"

Yeah, Lamar is super-talented but makes often boring music.

It's good, but after Butterfly and (especially) GKMC, a little boring.

It's a really stupid movie (the REEFER MADNESS of its day), and arthouse crowds actually fell for it.

The Real Cancun is one of Werner Herzog's favourite documentaries, or so he says. I briefly was friends with one of the main girls in it, and recognized her right away. But it took her a while to say she was in the film.

It doesn't overshadow the original for me (one of my fave movies of all time). It's just a weird footnote.

Nothing's wrong with it as a "what if" scenario. I just wonder how he thought anyone who understood his fear-of-matriarchy premise would respond to it. I don't think the movie is uninteresting (though a little boring), mostly because I'm surprised it exists.

You should watch Neil LaBute's remake of The Wicker Man. It's still insane to me that he made that the premise of his film.

True. Faraci had trouble engaging in those conversations without condescension, and always acts like he's the first person on the planet to arrive at any of his pretty basic insights. Nicholson has a problem with smugly viewing older works through 2010s' morality, but that's pretty common and forgivable.

If we can't call a well-known multimillionaire powerful, who are we reserving that for?

It had a couple funny bits. The punchline to the housekeeping thing was weak.
