Just back from a midnight screening of Once Upon a Time in Hollywood at the New Beverly Cinema. For those of you who don't know, the New Bev is a classic cinema that tries to function like a movie theater of yore by actually projecting film. The place is owned or maybe controlled — one hears different things — by Quentin Tarantino so it was the perfect place to see his new movie.
What did I think of it? Liked a lot of it…was bored by large chunks of it…thought Brad Pitt walked away with the movie…didn't find the violence as thrilling as the folks sitting behind us did…
…and beyond that, I think I need to sleep on it. Good night.
