A Year of Movies Round 3 - The Hateful Eight

[heelz2345]

As far as Tarantino movies go, I enjoyed this one more than most. It still had the recognizable trademarks like the dialogue and the violence that others have mentioned. What I liked is that this movie had intrigue and twists that you wouldn't normally expect. The characters were great, too. Still, some of the lines felt canned and the exceptionally graphic language/violence was a turn-off for me personally. Bonus points for the running gag with the door, point deduction for the guy-on-guy fellatio. Overall I'll give it 71 shreds.

You weren't a fan of big, black dingus?

Question about that scene for you guys: do you think Warren was telling the truth there or was he flat out lying to Smithers? Was part of it true? I personally think Warren did kill Smithers son, but embellished the story with details he knew would get under Smithers’ skin just to make sure Smithers would draw.

I concur. I think Warren embellished the story to get the reaction he wanted. He did lay the revolver down next to Smithers first, didn't he? It seems logical that he knew he could get Smithers angered enough to try to use it on him.
