worst I've ever seen

Rating: 1/10 (15 September 2019)

Mindless, meatheaded, vacuous, bloated, scattered, gaseous. this is a shining paradigm of a movie that never should have been made. and it wasnt. Quentin -- and I'm a huge fan -- cobbled together a string of disparate scenes bereft of any purpose or entertainment content. each scene was juat awful. add them together and you have a taller mound of wasteful crap. Folks like Ebert bandy praise about in an effort to be hip to the story so imperceptible to us mere mortal, who had to swim through this endless preening so awash in stupidity and emptiness. I guess my secret decoder ring needs batteries. what I saw was an hour of Tarantino's time weaving jello together, then festooning it with his famous friends. want a true test of what you thought of this bubbling mess? imagine seeing it again with capable unknown actors. no Pitt, no Leo, no Douglas. you would have left in half an hour. stop kidding yourselves. and spare me that QT is making a ton. he doesn't need the $ so why prostitute his daunting talent and deliciously idiosyncratic prism. I picture his actor pals over a drink chuckling about how Tarantino has started dropping acid. one word -- he now owes me 2 hours of my life back.
