Re: The Hateful Eight (Tarantino, 2015) — The Reviews Thread — SPOILERS
I strongly disagree and you come off like you didn't read my post. 70 mm has many strengths in intimate spaces and I gave examples.
Also, digital photography ain't got shit on 70 mm.
Let's talk Lawrence of Arabia. Everyone talks about Omar Sharif's entrance in that film. It IS an incredible example of the strengths of large format film. But there are other, much more intimate scenes that are also improved by 70 mm. Two that stand out are Lawrence's introduction in the basement. You can read the maps on the wall, you can see the stitches in the seams of his uniform, you can pear through the tiny windows and see the hoofs of the camels passing by outside. Another standout moment is when he meets with Alec Guinness's character in the tent. The wind blowing outside makes the tent sway, you can see every fiber in the Persian rugs they are sitting on, it's so detailed.
Back to Hateful 8. The stew. The wooden spoons knocking around in the bowls, I wanted a bowl so badly. There's was a moment when I thought the film might be veering toward the idea that Minnie and Dave were in the stew and I felt sick. Thank god that wasn't the case. Nonetheless the detail is so great.

That would have been fucked up!

Even though it didn't need to be in 70mm, I'm glad it was. Honestly, I think Tarantino chose 70mm just because he always wanted to, and the clock is definitely ticking on movies being shot and released on film at all. Hell, as it is, projector parts had to be purchased off of E-bay and qualified projectionists had to be coaxed out of retirement. Imagine he took the usual 3 years to release his next movie, which was more scenic and what we expect from 70mm films. Could it even be done in 2018? I don't think he wanted to take that chance, and it was now or never for his throwback "roadshow" film. But like others have said, I felt I was actually at Minnie's Haberdashery, and I'm not sure if you get the same effect with the standard 2.35:1 ratio and digital projection. Especially the way theaters now reduce the screen size for scope movies, rather than extend to the sides.

The movie got one thing right for me....the hatred. I hated this movie from start to finish. Had such high hopes, but it was just awful. Truly awful.

I was pretty disappointed in this. Pacing was slow, story was weak. As expected it was shot well, and some sequences were very well done. Acting was OK, but nobody stood out as giving an exceptional performance.

Went and saw the film in Digital yesterday evening with one of my best friends. The previous three times were all in 70mm.
I noticed a handful of differences between the Wide/Theatrical release and the 70mm Roadshow, some that have been mentioned, others I haven't seen yet:
I'm sure I missed a few more, but those are the ones I immediately noticed.

I'm in the camp of really enjoying this movie. Not sure where I would rank it in terms of Tarantino's filmography. I think it's his least "fun" movie, but "fun" isn't the sole criteria. The flashback of the slaughter at the cabin is absolutely heartbreaking. That whole sequence might be the best scene Tarantino has ever done.

Interesting, I don't think that shot was in either (released) version of the film. Most likely just the trailer.

Saw it again in 70mm at Alamo draft house in Austin. I enjoyed it a little more than I did the first time, but that could be because I had consumed about 4-5 house made The Hateful 8 drinks as well as a few Big Kahunas.

Was there enough score to fill a double LP? I guess there was, but it didn't seem like it.
EDIT: According to the track listing Samuel L Jackson wrote the Lincoln letter. Is that true?

A guitar that was destroyed in the movie was a genuine article, 145 years old, on loan to the film from the Martin company's museum collection.
This article contains minor, non-plot spoilers, which I will be discussing below.

You can see moment of it's destruction in crappy cam quality here, same minor spoiler warning applies: https://youtu.be/yWzHT7dpyhg?t=212

I want to call BS. If it was truly priceless and irreplaceable then a museum rep would've been there to safeguard the guitar when it wasn't being used on set. And insured for original cost and not replacement cost? Again, hard to believe.

The comments are kind of ridiculous, saying Tarrantino did it as a publicity stunt. If that was the case, why would the story be coming out with the film practically out of theaters?

Plus, Tarantino did this type of thing before, buying legitimate old cars for Death Proof, then having them smashed up on film. He said himself, if he told the dealers what he intended to do with them, they never would have sold them.

Not every museum can afford to fly some dude out to watch over a piece 24/7. They're not the Smithsonian, it's a small museum nobody's heard of that's attached to their manufacturing company.

Reminds of a Prince story. I think it was on Fallon. He borrowed a guitar that belonged to one of Fallon's band members and he smashed it at the end of his performance. Turned out it was a priceless Gibson or something.

Yeah, they could have made other arrangements, but I assume they put some trust into the production. As for Spielberg - he got to handle Lincoln's actual stovepipe hat (with gloves), which must have been really cool to experience.
