  Django Unchained 2012

  ★★★½ Watched 16 Sep 2024

  In my QT ranking, Django Unchained sits at the 7th spot.

  Kill Bill
  Pulp Fiction
  Reservoir Dogs
  Once Upon a Time… in Hollywood
  Inglorious Basterds
  Jackie Brown
  Django Unchained
  Death Proof
  Hateful Eight

  The last three, including Django, aren’t going anywhere in my ranking, I reckon. Inglorious Basterds and Jackie Brown might change spots, but they won’t ever break the top four. The top four I imagine won’t change, except maybe their order. Pulp Fiction and Kill Bill change places…

  Austin Butler did a fantastic job. Tom Hanks was great, too, but it was oftentimes hard not to think “This is Tom Hanks playing a character.” I think this was just due to just how bizarre…

  Rolling Thunder 1977

  ★★★★★ Rewatched 14 Jun 2022

  Wow, what a set-up and inciting incident. And what an interesting unfolding of events afterwards. And the acting, dialogue, directing, cinematography, set design, just all top-shelf. Script is SUPER tight (and no surprise, it was written by Paul Schrader and Heywood Gould). You don’t really meet any of the main characters in vain. Everything helps tell the story through its interconnections with everything else in the story. 

  Film opens up with two POWs coming home, William Devane and Tommy Lee…
