I was scrolling through this post and saw this quickly and thought:
What the hell happened to Bryan Cranston's forehead!!!

I didn't like Django at all, but loved The Hateful Eight, so I'll trust whatever Tarantino puts out. Would have liked to see Cruise on board though, he's probably my favorite actor right now. American Made proved he could do QT-type movies.

Kinda related, is Tarantino still doing a Star Trek movie? That could be my most anticipated movie set to come in the next few years.

He came up with the idea for a Star Trek movie, someone else is currently writing the script, and Tarantino might direct it after the next Abrams-verse Trek movie, likely hitting in 2020. So this movie would be 2022 or 2023 at the earliest, and no one has any idea if it's part of the Abrams-verse or something different altogether.

Thanks for clearing that up. It's more down the line than I thought.

Ha. I had the opposite... Love Django... was completely Meh to Hateful Eight.

Wtf

That's an odd take. Haven't heard anyone who preferred H8 to Django.

Any reason in particular you disliked Django?

I didn't hate Django, it just didn't feel like the usual Tarantino quality. The first act didn't catch my attention, but I liked the second act, because I very much enjoyed the banter between DiCaprio and Waltz's characters. But once they both died I kinda lost interest in the movie, because Django wasn't an interesting character for me.

The plot also felt a bit forced and contrived to me. Lots of coincidences and forced motivation. For example, German bounty hunter feels compelled to help Django because of a German fairytale? I can usually suspend my disbelief, but for some reason it didn't feel like an organic plot to me.

The third act has some odd pacing and structural issues, that to me make it lose momentum. It felt very awkward. And then the movie suddenly ends.

Meanwhile H8 was great. The cinematography had dynamic lighting and color that was missing in Django. The characters were all interesting and bounced off each other very well, the plot was engaging, and the ending was hilarious.

Just different takes, I guess.

I do agree the third act is a bit weaker than the rest of the movie. (After Candie dies. The shootout is pretty great though.)

Whereas Hateful Eight is strongest in the third act.

I tried watching H8 once.. I thought it was too slow, and I am too close to death to waste time. Should I give it another shot?

I would try again, I think the last hour or so is the best part of the movie for me.

I would. It's a slow burn for sure, but the ending is the big climax. I probably have a very subjective view though. I tend to enjoy dark humor, so maybe the humor carried me through the slower parts than it did other people. I liked the visuals too, but other people may not care about that and got bored.

Is it on Netflix?

It looks to be.

I saw it in the theater on their 70mm roadshow, so that also added a layer of enjoyment. kind of an old school movie experience complete with intermission.
