QT is my spirit animal. He's the only director I give a crap about. I've lost all interest in modern movies; especially the latest "event" spectacles and all the superhero and genre stuff.
BUT....I make sure to see every Tarantino movie in the cinema. And I learned my lesson after "Basterds:" no more trailers. I'm not watching this or any other trailers or TV spots. I'm going in cold and savoring every minute of it. After all, he's claimed he's only gonna do one or two more movies ever and then retire.
(Dear god I hope that Star Trek movie never happens. His talents would be wasted on it, like that episode of ER he did back in the day.)
Crappy thing about Japan is it comes out months and months later, so I have to continue to avoid spoilers. And in the case of Hateful Eight, the whole movie was online in DVD screener quality for months before the Japan release, but I resisted, cause I need that cinematic experience. I almost can't even consider his movies as "movies"....they're just his own unique thing in a genre all his own.
I'll check back in with this thread in September or October when the movie is finally released here and I get to see it....til then I'm on media blackout.
