@Tonepoet Yeah the single-syllable-ness is a factor.

@M.A.R. Still not intrigued to watch that.

@RegDwigнt Huh. Interesting.

@RegDwigнt I think that's his limit. He just couldn't agree more.

M.A.R.

@Færd Tarantino's movies are . . . weird. Other movies sometimes require suspension of disbelief, his movies require suspension of a lot of other things.

It's very taunting for people who want to extract a moral lesson out of it

Q: How to get rid of fears

So in my about me bit I have named a few of many fears and they are really starting to ruin me so like I really needs way to sort it all out so if you can all help me out it would. Be much appreciated guys this probably isn't relevant but yeah

meaning

@M.A.R. Tarantino is just a closet sadist. And by "closet" I mean "open". And by "sadist" I mean "sadist".

Tarantino is a psychopath. A sick fuck. And I don't really mean it in a good way.

@Robusto he phantasizes about killing people in the most brutal manner possible. And he found a loophole for getting away with it. Make them nazis, or vampires, or plantation owners, or serial killers.

The closest he actually came to killing actual people was, of course, Natural Born Killers, but there his trick was different, he slapped Oliver Stone's name onto it more prominently than his own.

That said, I am looking forward to watching his current movie in a cinema. It will be out August 18th where I live. And I'll be going with a close friend of 25+ years who also enjoys these movies immensely.

I remember watching Killing Zoe together. We were literally like 16. It was awesome.

Tarantino is the last movie maker out there. The last cineast. Appreciate it while it lasts.

And no spoilers. You spoil Once Upon a Time in Hollywood for me, you're going down. I will personally come to your home and bludgeon you to death with a DVD of Killing Zoe.

@RegDwigнt They all die at the end

I don't know what 'Killing Zoe' is. Is that a movie? It sounds like a corporate HR instructional video for processing on-boarding. Things like retirement funds, direct deposit, who to complain to if one of your own hires accuses you of an abusive work environment, how to implement an abusive work environment, cleaning up after yourself in the company kitchen. Shit like that.

@Mitch you should watch Killing Zoe, then.

It's only 80 minutes long, like.

Don't watch the censored version. That one's 60 minutes.

I am not joking.

So anyway. @Rob, would you be so kind and translate for me what Jennifer Connelly says in this video here:

Jennifer Connelly had a #1 Hit in Japan! | The Graham Norton Show | Fridays at 11/10c on BBC America

Direct link to timestamp. 1:53.

There's like fifty different translations in the comments. All of them claiming to be Japanese or have a Japanese wife or have seen a 柴犬 in an alley that one time. And all of them say completely different things. And I have no trust in any of them because none of them are you.

Kthx.

Mitch

@RegDwigнt I just watched the missing 20 minutes.

I understand why a teenager might think it was great.
