OUaTiH was fairly zeitgeisty, and I’m speaking as someone who’s definitely outside the Tarantino fandom. Not a seismic event like Avengers: Endgame, but it definitely had more of a splash than all but a few streaming-focused films, and probably more of a splash than anything that skipped theaters entirely.

“The point of movies is to make money” is honestly the bleakest thing someone could write.

No offence was intended, but to be totally fair, when you say things like “Hateful Eight is probably largely forgotten”, that’s not really relevant to whether or not it was in the zeitgeist at the time, that’s a legacy thing (though to again be fair, I can’t really remember how that one was discussed at the time).

QT is prickly, he’s combative, he’s a genuine crank. But he’s not wrong*.

Seems like you’re talking more about “legacy” than “zeitgeist”; the zeitgeist is what’s happening now, and when they were released? People were talking about them. Certainly, far more than anyone was talking about, I dunno, The Adam Project.

And cast Margot Robbie as Sharon Tate

“and all these Australian actors pretending to be Americans”

I love how the writer couldn’t figure out any way to make him sound wrong about any of this, so he’s just hoping presenting the quotes on their own along with an insulting title will be enough. And to show just how right Tarantino is, just look at how Arnold Schwarrzenegger himself has just put out basically a True…

I must say Waters is a massive piece of shit.  Who the fuck goes to the UN to represent Putin?!?!  Also maybe worth mentioning the hammer symbol from The Wall was adopted by a real nazi group called The Hammer Skins.  This to me feels like a mix up of The Wall and Waters for real, but again Waters is a real…

Yeah but he didn’t have pigs with the Star of David on them then.

Was this article written by AI?  Does Mark Keizer actually exist?  Very poor prose.

Every actor has worked on bad movies at some point in their career.

Lemme answer your question with a question: Did people stop loving Olivier when he did shit like ‘The Betsy,' ‘The Jazz Singer,’ ’Inchon,’ and ‘Wild Geese II’?

This just in- working actor wants to keep working to earn money. In other news, water is wet.

The whole POINT of that song is Ursula trying to con Ariel into giving up her voice for legs! Ursula doesn’t just bring up douchebro behavior because it’s fun to indulge in awful societal tropes, she’s trying to manipulate Ariel by telling her that men on land don’t WANT women to talk. If you remove that element, what …

people in the comments started comparing me to Tucker Carlson.

Part of the issue that hurt their case is that in the past, both actors have praised the film, and Hussey in particular has stated in numerous interviews in the past that she was fine with the nudity and something that people should get over as not that big a deal. So it did make her suit seem simply opportunistic of…

Did they change the part where Ursula takes away Eric’s right to consent by using her powers to make him fall in love with her and agree to marry her?

They should’ve just updated Ursula’s lines for today’s audience. This way, you don’t have to remove the section and it’s still clear that Ursula is giving toxic advice:

I’m split on this, and I think along the same lines you do. I don’t think “Kiss The Girl” needed the update, but I can see it and I don’t think it ruins the song or changes anything. Seems rough on the meter based on the quoted new lyrics, but I’m no musician.
