The Hateful Eight 63 points Johnbobb 2 Karo 3 Inviso 4 Stifled 11 CoolCly 12 Poke 15 KBM 16 Very poor plot synopsis: Do you remember how everyone was trapped together in a stagecoach inStagecoach? Well now imagine that in a cabin with more violence and racial slurs. Why it was included: Popular demand. I had left this off the first draft of the list, and multiple folks requested I add it. So here you go. Becauseperusing the internet, I didnt find much about The Hateful Eight that really stood out, outside of the usual controversy a Quentin Tarantino flick brings to the table. I think the main (and really cool) thing is that Ennio Morricone FINALLY won an Academy Award for best original score. The fact it took that long in his career to be recognized by the Academy is absolutely criminal. But then again, they do have a bad habit of waiting too long on a lot of folks. What Stifled thinks: Admittedly, I hated this the first time I saw it. I thought it was entirely too long, I didnt like many of the characters, and I just felt bored overall. But looking back, I think I was just having a bad day. I wont get into it, but Ill simply say my life was very stressful at the time and a movie such as this was not what my brain wanted. Now fast forward to the rewatch. I was able to calmly sit down and give this one more of a chance. And you know what? I actually quite enjoyed it! I enjoyed everyone interacting. The setting was both pretty and suffocating. The resulting tension due to the close proximity of everyone was well presented. And it was appropriately murdery when it needed it be. Now the one aspect I enjoyed both times I watched this was the performance of motherfucking Sam Jackson. Hilariously take no prisoners, Jackson was very much in charge the whole time, whether everyone (particularly Kurt Russels character) wanted to admit it or not. Additionally, I enjoyed the Lincoln Letter plot device. It was unclear the entire time as to whether it was legit or not, and I have my suspicions the complete truth still wasnt told. --- Bear Bro The Empire of Silence <cite>StifledSilence posted [p:957625185] in Board 8 Ra...
