And I have to say, Quentin Tarantino is definitely one of them. I mean, with the exception of JACKIE BROWN (it didn\u2019t do much for me), I\u2019ve loved all his movies. Everything from his writing, to how he frames his stories, his movies are always a huge amount of fun to watch.<\/p>\n<p>And THE HATEFUL EIGHT is no exception.<!--more--><\/p>\n<p>As for the story, if you haven\u2019t seen the movie, you get the gist from the trailers and TV spots\u2026<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/lzLo3VpViaE\" width=\"560\" height=\"315\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>From there it\u2019s just a sheer joyride of Tarantino staples: great dialogue, fun acting, complete &amp; utter violence, and just a sprinkle of non-linear storytelling for good measure.<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s definitely a fun ride.<\/p>\n<p>Now early reviews have talked about the level of misogyny in the movie. I won\u2019t lie to you there is a fair amount of violence against the female characters in the movie. But let\u2019s remember people, it\u2019s a movie. I mean this is a movie that takes place in the Old West, in the 1800\u2019s. I\u2019m no Historian, but I\u2019m pretty sure that \u201cequal rights\u201d was not a staple of the time. But to be fair, once you throw in a dash of Tarantino, it does get a little extreme, but in the end, it\u2019s a movie. THE HATEFUL EIGHT by no means promotes or advocates violence against women, just part of the world Tarantino created.<\/p>\n<p>And really, if you\u2019re that squeamish you probably shouldn\u2019t be going to a Tarantino movie anyway, haha.<\/p>\n<p>But I leave you with one bit of advice. This almost a 3 hour movie, so if there\u2019s a theatre that features plush recliners by you, that\u2019s definitely the way to go! I don\u2019t know about you, but once I hit the 3 hour mark? My butt starts to hurt. Haha.<\/p>\n<p>For me, my go-to is my AMC Theatres. Be it one of their renovated auditoriums, or their Cinema Suites, but their recliners definitely made the viewing experience more enjoyable.<\/p>\n<p>But that\u2019s it. Definitely recommend this one. Enjoy!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Watching this movie I was reminded of a conversation I had with some friends of mine, specifically what directors am I always excited for when they have a movie coming out.
