This made me feel good

Based on the footage screened, “Cliff Booth” finds Tarantino returning to his roots; like “True Romance,” “Reservoir Dogs,” and “Pulp Fiction,” it’s a crime movie heavily influenced by novelists like Elmore Leonard (who Tarantino adapted for one of his best films, “Jackie Brown”) and Raymond Chandler. It also presents a darker Cliff Booth than the one we saw in “Once Upon a Time…in Hollywood,” a version closer to the more cold-blooded, almost sociopathic Booth introduced in Tarantino’s novelization of “Once Upon a Time” than the amiable (albeit wife-murdering) fellow from the movie.

as the new film begins in June 1977, his primary connection to the film industry is a job as a projectionist at the New Beverly Cinema. (A fun in-joke that got a big laugh from the AFI Fest audience, most of whom were probably well aware that Tarantino now owns that theater.) Booth’s real profession seems to be as a kind of shady bag man and fixer, though the 17 minutes we saw at the Chinese wasn’t enough to give a strong sense of where the plot will go.

What it did give was some choice Tarantino dialogue, particularly in “Soul Brothers Die Hard,” a Blaxploitation film-within-the-film starring Yahya Abdul-Mateen II (and presumably unrelated to the 1973 movie “Brother on the Run,” which was released in some markets under the alternate title of “Soul Brothers Die Hard,” though with Tarantino you never know what kind of subterranean connection might exist). There’s also a promising relationship between Cliff and his father, a pawn shop proprietor played by Peter Weller, and enough period-accurate production design and pop culture references to assure the audience that “Cliff Booth” will be as rich in nostalgic pleasures of the late 1970s as “Once Upon a Time” was for the late 1960s.

35mm print of this is screening at the New Beverly Cinema in L.A. (aka one of the theaters owned by Tarantino) starting November 25

Darker Cliff

I mean he's already darker in the OUATIH novelization so it should be interesting to see how Fincher interprets that

I know that’s why when this project was announced that was one of my biggest hopes since the movie would be more from his perspective whereas in once upon a time he was more a supporting guy and other than the flashback is mostly from perspective of Leo

At least the duo gave us "Don't cry in front of the Mexicans"

The story about nothing

Fr: Domestic abuser movie

Are you prepared?

You never wanna cry in front of the Mexicans

Couldn’t imagine caring enough about actors personal lives to let that instead of quality of product decide if I watch it or not

streets saying that the premiere is on November 16

gotta say it's funny that we're less than a month away from release and Netflix haven't even started promoting this. like they still haven't even dropped the poster for this

oof
