QT's 70 mm ego trip.

Rating: 2/10 (27 April 2019)

They made a big deal about Quentin Tarantino filming "The Hateful Eight" in 70 mm. Great, I thought, I love big, wide screen westerns. You don't get to see them that often anymore. Then he films 90% of the movie inside a cabin. What?!? Oh boy, I knew then I'd been had, again, by QT. I don't like the expression but I'll use it anyway: QT jumped the shark many, many years ago. He fell into the same trap as Brian DePalma (one of my favorites). DePalma was great at paying homage (ripping off) Alfred Hitchcock. Then he began ripping off himself. QT payed homage to many different film makers. Now, he just pays "homage" to himself. Skip "The Hateful Eight" and watch QT's "Reservoir Dogs" instead. They're both the same movie and "Reservoir Dogs" is an hour and a half shorter.
