I'm glad it's been well received here, it's not got a lot of word of mouth recommendations here.
I remember that era and a couple of Sharon Tates movies.
I don't know how many times I've read helter skelter.

Yeah those folks were pure evil, I am sure some in the theater thought I was nuts because I was laughing my ass off at the end, if you didn't know the back story you likely didn't get it.
“The Trump Doctrine is ‘We’re America, Bitch.’ That’s the Trump Doctrine.”
"He is free to evade reality, he is free to unfocus his mind and stumble blindly down any road he pleases, but not free to avoid the abyss he refuses to see."
It's a nice fairy tale sounding movie, but I don't think I could enjoy it because I know what actually happened. It's like that piece of crap he made Inglourious Basterds. Nobody actually killed Hitler so it isn't entertaining and it's borderline offensive.
The fact that Kasabian actually got an immunity deal makes the whole premise even more offensive.
If somebody made a movie about 9-11 where Brad Pitt suddenly killed all of the terrorists with a machine gun and saves the day, I don't think I'd be able to enjoy that either.
It's hard to be a ACLU hating, philosophically Libertarian, socially liberal, fiscally conservative, scientifically grounded, agnostic, porn admiring gun owner who believes in self determination.
Chuck, we miss ya man.

Do you generally like QT movies? Very hit or miss for me, usually miss. Many are mad at his portrayal of Bruce Lee apparently. If you're going to see a QT movie for accuracy or realism of any kind, and easily offended, you probably should not go to a QT movie is my response to that.

He has a knack for nailing the late 60s early 70s drive in, B movie, exploitation, etc. vibe while incorporating elements of genius, that some previous genius did as groundbreaking work.
And I appreciate that. But at the end of the day he is the master of making homages to films so bad they are good while paying homage to some great, ground breaking films.
It’s like nobody is better at making modern versions of velvet Elvis’s with an occasional Sistine Chapel picture on them.
“Where weapons may not be carried, it is well to carry weapons.”
I don't disagree with any of that, but I find the sum of its parts does not usually add up to a good movie experience with most of his stuff, much of it just garbage. Lot of his stuff starts out well, then just goes off the rails into total fail, ruing what could have been a solid movie. I grew up watching exactly the movies he tries to emulate/make homages to films to, and I still don't find them usually worth watching. Those movies were my era, but seeing era homages films over and over, not always even well done. I couldn't even get through Death Proof, it was just way too stupid for me, and I sat in the movie theaters Sat afternoon circa 70s as a kid watching those movies. I did like Jackie Brown which was a quality version of the exploitation genre.
