Police: We’re why ‘The Hateful Eight’ is bombing at box office

Over three hours of art-house pretension might be another factor. I hear the music’s good...

[A message]

Maybe Tarantino’s over the top pointlessly violent movies are just garbage.

[dfwgator]

For me it’s more the dialogue that I enjoy in Tarantino movies, and the way he builds up the tension slowly and then suddenly releases it.

The scene in “Inglourious Basterds” when they are playing the “Who Am I?” game immediately comes to mind.

That movie started out so good and promising. But at some point it just descended into a gore fest for the sake of a gore fest.

'Pulp Fiction' is one of the most overrated movies ever

Thank you...I thought I was alone in the universe about that flick.

[driftless2]

and the rest were trash.

I liked "Reservoir Dogs" and thought "Pulp Fiction" was vastly overrated. After watching a few minutes of "Kill Bill" I knew Tarantino was mostly a hack.

[jalisco555]

didn’t know that about _Hanna_; saw it (free).

I also saw it for free and thought it was pretty good. I still don't understand what the director was thinking by insulting so many of us.

99% of the time Hollywood backs liberals... Too bad for them half the country’s conservative.

[Lion Den Dan]

Did not need to have police call out this scumbag. Torturtino has been on my dirt list for years.

[exDemMom]

I do not think I have ever seen one of his movies. Thus, I am unable to contribute to the failure of this one.

[Uversabound]

box-office disaster

Great news take the MF er down.

Hate him.

MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN!

[Buckeye McFrog]

Pulp Fiction with six-shooters. Yawn.

[mykroar]

Nope. You are not. My brother’s in the same camp.

[freeangel]

Good! Did hear a toilet flush?

[LaRueLaDue]

I won't see it specifically because Quentin Tarantino directed it and racist Samuel Jackson is in it. BTW - Quentin Tarantino's "Pulp Fiction" is one of the most overrated movies ever. Gratuitous violence seems to be his style.

I agree. Quentin Tarantino directs like he is fifty-something, immature, arrested-development boy living in a very disturbing imaginary-fantasy world.

Oh.. wait...

[Lexington Green]

Tarantino meets the Dixie Chicks meets Susan Sarandon...

And Samuel Jackson is an obnoxious racist.

[tophat9000]

The Hateful 8 is a bomb because it sucked... by the middle of the movie..I wanted to see the actors break “the fourth wall” and shoot the director

[dfwgator]

I wanted to see the actors break “the fourth wall” and shoot the director

Like Itchy and Scratchy, LOL!

[Boogieman]

I don’t think the cops can take full credit. From what I’ve heard, it’s a terrible movie, and even the use of 70mm is completely wasted because Tarantino was too stupid to realize that if you make a 70mm Western, you have to use the natural landscape as a backdrop to get the most out of it. Apparently he set most of the movie indoors!

[Borges]

PF isn’t that violent. Most of the violence is off screen.
