I do get a kick out of his theory that Mr. Pink is now laying low as the Buddy Holly waiter in Pulp Fiction though. I'm embarrassed to say I've seen this movie way too many times and only within the last year or two did I learn Buscemi had a cameo in it.

The movie has still yet to click with me after a few viewings. It has scenes I really like, but from beginning to end I can't put it in the top half of QT's films.

TheLastWolf Posted July 23, 2022 Author Share Posted July 23, 2022 His latest book was fantastic, heard he's gonna go into author mode after film retirement. I was reading the (apparently famous) short story "The Three Strangers" by Thomas Hardy the other day when it struck me halfway through that the story bore an uncanny resemblance in its rough plot with something which was none other than The Hateful Eight. https://sites.udel.edu/britlitwiki/the-three-strangers-analysis/ Nothing needed for the movie I guess. Both titles indicate the number of people and both take place in the 19th century albeit on different continents of the Western world, both feature a 'crossroads' moment. People (19+3 in the story, 17 in the movie) take shelter from the elements (rainstorm in the story, blizzard in the movie) in a remote dwelling (a shepherd's cottage in the story, a stagecoach-stopover/haberdashery/western motel in the movie) on uneven high terrain (moors of Southwest England, mountains around Telluride Colorado) and among them there is an eloquent hangman (one in the story and 2 in the movie where 1 is a bounty hunter's nickname and 2 is an outlaw posing as the new hangman in town), criminals (escaped convict in the story, wanted outlaws in the movie), lawmen (a cowardly constable in the story who kinda deputizes able-bodied men, 2 bounty hunters technically lawmen and a new Sheriff in town who's genuine unlike the hangman) disadvantaged hosts in both cases, lots of tobacco and liquor and chatter in both cases where the characters are not who we think them to be at every point of the narration till the end. Only major thematic digression is that a Victorian realist-Romantic doesn't dish out violence like an American 'pulp' filmmaker. I'm sure we can find some witty links between characters' names but that was most prbly unintended. But my doubt is, has this already been established or refuted? I can't be the first to see these parallels but there's nothing on the net BTW Didn't think QT was the family man type, imagine my disbelief when I learned so late that he's married with TWO kids...

DireWolfSpirit Posted July 23, 2022 Share Posted July 23, 2022 Which of your favored actors/actresses have we yet to see in a QT movie and who would you hope to see yet in one if QT does only one last film? Tom Hardy and Thandiwe Newton came quickly to mind for me. This video had some fun picks, apparently the candidates are numerous. I must add, I am firmly in the NOT Nicolas Cage camp, just please, don't. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
A Horse Named Stranger Posted July 23, 2022 Share Posted July 23, 2022 There are quite a few good actors/actresses that haven't worked with QT. But usually Tarantino is on the money with his casting choices. I mean, that's the great thing about Tarantino movies (and him being the star), he doesn't really need to pick a-listers to promote his movies, so he can freely pick and choose whatever actor he thinks is best for the role.

RumHam Posted July 23, 2022 Share Posted July 23, 2022 I know I wish he'd started working with Goggins sooner. Ran 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ran Posted July 23, 2022 Share Posted July 23, 2022 Hardy, for sure. I think Nic Cage would be potentially amazing in a Tarantino film. Gary Oldman, too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nictarion Posted July 24, 2022 Share Posted July 24, 2022 Joaquin Phoenix is one of my favorite current actors who hasn’t worked with Tarantino yet. He’d be near the top of my list. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WarGalley Posted July 24, 2022 Share Posted July 24, 2022 (edited) 7 hours ago, Ran said: Gary Oldman, too. Does Drexl Spivey not count? Because that’s probably my favorite Oldman performance. That one scene was so mesmerizing. I re-watch it often. Edit: I’ve seen True Romance, as a whole, twice and it’s been a few years but my reaction is generally “I can’t believe Tarantino didn’t direct this.” Edited July 24, 2022 by WarGalley Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
