My sister and I were planning to see Once Upon A Time in Hollywood on Tuesday - but Monday is its last day locally and I don't want to DRIVE any distance to see it....so we shall see what happens.

I must say that I am enjoying the Soundtrack to the aforementioned movie a lot......MR BK might be interested in the local DJ's and commercials included......

My question for those who do community or small house theatre....Why is it - in every show - that the least talented person with the smallest part who is insufferable backstage spends the MOST time in front of the makeup mirror obsessing about how he/she looks.

No one cares....you're onstage for less than five minutes....no one cares.....

SHREK is cursed with such a person.... I mentioned this to the costumer who didn't even let me finish my sentence....."I know..."

We are back from patrol. Annabelle was in a very happy mood, although she ran from the nice man on two who has a cat. I don't think she sees him often enough to be familiar with him as she is with Mark next door and MaryAnne on five. I think they might be filming something on the block from the trucks and cop cars outside.

Enjoyed the notes on the Tarantino film.

Agree with much of that, even though I enjoy his films in spite of their obvious faults and his obvious obsessions which are sometimes distracting.

Yes, the DiCaprio TV series scenes went on way too long. The eight-year-old girl scene went on too long. The spouting of things Tarantino would say also happened in the big Al Pacino scene, but I thought his lines were more of an anachronism, like when he said: "I watched it on 35mm". Like, what the hell else would he have watched it on in 1969? Granted, he subsequently watched something else on 16mm, so, maybe just making the distinction. But those lines nevertheless stuck out.

And the Hollywood Blvd. scenes?

Holy moley. With all the work done on those blocks, I really expected, you know, real "scenes" to take place there. Like maybe a conversation between two people walking down the street? Or maybe some people coming out of the Vogue or Pussycat (wrong years notwithstanding), or perhaps an interaction between one of the characters and a salesperson in one of the stores? Speaking of which, obviously he doesn't care about this kind of accuracy, but why not reconstruct the correct VOGUE RECORDS instead of the boring ubiquitous national chain store PEACHES? That would have at least made it accurate to the year (or more so) AND infinitely more interesting to the Hollywood-minded core of his audience. Finally, I must have blinked, because I never caught sight of the Aquarius Theater.

BK's "three seconds" is more like the sum total of ALL the split-second shots, not the length of any one of them. Yes, his dedication to the physical world over using CGI in such instances is admirable, but really, I think in this case you could say why bother.

ChasSmith · « **Reply #44 on:** August 09, 2019, 09:16:20 AM »

I was also amused by his re-imagining of Cielo Drive, though I can certainly understand it. A friend who saw the film was quite taken with my description of the real place, including news of the absolute horror that sits on that property now.

Snapshots by Yrs Truly, of the 10050 gate as it existed in Feb 1975.

Authentic radio clips and such are always welcome, but I wondered why he used a few KHJ ones but not any other local radio or TV clips. It's certainly possible I missed some because there was a lot to keep up with. But KHJ got a credit and I didn't notice any others there, either.

I put the cat food away, and I've been to bank and market. My legs are killing me, so I will lie downm with Thatch for our nap before I tackle the books.

I would like to see the new Tarantino. I've only seen Pulp Fiction (with my close personal friend Amanda Plummer) and Reservoir Dogs. The film I'm looking forward to most is Downton Abbey.

ChasSmith · « **Reply #48 on:** August 09, 2019, 09:53:08 AM »

Oh, that's interesting. I'm one of the remaining few people on Planet Earth who has never seen Downton Abbey.

(I know, I know. I've been told many times.,,)

Anyhoo, I'm watching the trailers where I saw the Tarantino, and that one looked like it could be a very intriguing movie.... but until the title was finally revealed to me, I had no idea what it was. So I wonder if the movie could be appreciated without the benefit of knowing the series. Like, at all.

He does Peaches because that's what HE remembers - and I truly believe he doesn't care - it's a fairy tale, but it's irritating. No Aquarius that I saw. And yes, "I saw it in 35mm" is like saying "on set" - no one would have ever said that, nor would he have said 16mm.
