Totally Boring and Pointless

Rating: 2/10 (29 July 2019)

I have been a Quentin fan since day 1. I have seen them all and this is by far the worst. If it was not one of his films I would have walked out.
First it appears that Quentin believes the best part of Hollywood was the 1960's. Since he could not build a time machine he decide to make a movie about making movies in the 60's. So you are watching a movie about people making movies. You get to see Leo acting out several scenes pretending to be in a movie about pretending to be in a movie.
Then you get to watch Sharon Tate go into a theater and watch herself in a movie. Wow..

These scenes remind me of the box office failure a couple years ago called Hail Caesar. I am sure there are a lot of true stories in the film that are inside jokes. Sorry, but I do not want to go to the USC Film School to figure out who they are actually making fun of.
Music has always been a big part of Quentins films which is one of the reasons I like his work. But this one borders on ridiculous. I can not tell you how much time is spent filming people driving around listening to music. And it's not chase scenes - they are literally driving through the streets of LA - riveting.
The last 10 minutes are classic Quentin. But I had to sit over 2 hours to get there. I think that last scene sticks with people because of the way we would have preferred history to have gone and most people forget how awful and just boring the rest of the film is.
