Bad Times at The EL Royale - (Jeff Bridges, Hemsworth, Jon Hamm/Trailer)

[Zero]

If QT's name was on this, people would love it.

Or maybe not because this is a QT movie with a bit of maturity thsat hasn't been seen since Jackie Brown

Kill bill 2 had that maturity. Jackie brown was always a bit of an outlier because he was doing a direct adaptation. No real room to indulge in his stuff to the level he might’ve otherwise.

But I agree with you. I think it would’ve been a hit with his name on it. Critically the movie did well. Just didn’t find its audience. Hopefully it does later on

 

[Poetical Poltergeist]

This was actually a decent flick.

My fav. movie from last year. The only things I don't find great is Hemsworth and showing him in a flashback. I don't think Hemsworth is terrible, he's decent but not much more.

For me, it’s the dialogue and the setting and just the direction. Drew is great at a mystery and drawing that mystery out while building characters through dialogue and action rather than exposition. He drops you in the middle of things (cloverfield, cabin in the woods) and allows you to catch up without feeling like he’s explaining everything.

I love the setting, loved the music, and all of the acting was great. The movie just checks all my boxes for my sensibilities and what I love about a good story.

But who was on the film reel, breh?

Kennedy

Oh I’m going with Kennedy. Seemed to be the most obvious to me. I hear your MLK thing but Kennedy was a known adulterer and there were always rumors the fbi had footage or recordings of he and Marilyn

Kennedy

I could see Bobby K (Tho I think more evidence points to MLK), but JFK died in 1963. To my knowledge, Bobby wasn't fukking wit Marilyn.

Miles explicitly states the footage was from about a year prior to the events of the movie which took place in 1969.

Maybe. Only difference is QT doesn't have the knack for good mystery. He tried with Hateful 8 but it's all spoiled because Tarantino can't help himself.

And that's the main reason his movies for me, have changed because Quentin is too in love with himself.

Oh. Well yeah I really didn’t think much about it past “must be Kennedy” and let it go lol. It’s like the golden briefcase in pulp fiction. It’s a nice McMuffin but ultimately just that.

I hear you on that it didn't matter to the story at larger, but I think it was a lil deeper than that. They took had the only black character burn it at the end. They had the only black character decline to view it, deeming it unimportant. Comments made about it suggest to me they were trying to make a statement.

 

[PortCityProphet]

It was a good movie until the end when the cult got there.

The actress who played Darlene was great. She stole the damn show And can sing her nice round scrumptious ass off

 

[PortCityProphet]

At 1st i was thinking it was Kennedy on the tape.
But then I was thinking MLK, but MLK wasnt out there in calivada like that, but Darlene burning it kinda made me think it was him again.

First time seeing it on HBO. I thought it was pretty good. A non psychological thriller version of Identity. Jon Hamm’s character was talking to J. Edgar Hoover, it was definitely Kennedy on the tape.
