Buckshot Bear Posted September 4, 2021 Share Posted September 4, 2021 Saturday Night double header last night! The Hateful Eight & The Ballad of Buster Scruggs Two completely different movies and both really enjoyable. The Hateful Eight was definitely a Quentin Tarantino production! And the Ballad of Buster Scruggs was definitely a Coen Brothers production! A great fun Saturday night with Chinese take away! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cypress Sun Posted September 5, 2021 Share Posted September 5, 2021 I liked The Ballad of Buster Scruggs. Thought some of it was hilarious. Hateful Eight, not so much. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Red Gauntlet , SASS 60619 Posted September 5, 2021 Share Posted September 5, 2021 Buster Scruggs was wild and strange, but had so much good stuff in it. My favorite was the Mr. Pocket gold miner story with Tom Waits; a straightforward and faithful adaptation of an old Jack London story. The Coens are something else. They have made some truly great stuff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Could have kept watching Buster Scruggs......in the first story when he put his foot repeatedly on the table and made the card player keep shooting himself in the head was hilarious! Liam Neeson's part was pretty dark. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pat Riot Posted September 5, 2021 Share Posted September 5, 2021 “Pan Shot!” That old guy had some nerve. I had to laugh at that one. The Hateful Eight was okay. I hate being “that guy” but when those empties were dumped on the floor from that revolver and there were what appeared to be a couple 38-40 cases and some .45 Colt cases landing on the floor from the same gun all I could do was shake my head. It was an okay movie but I probably won’t watch it again. Quentin’s modus operandi schtick is getting a little old. Now the Ballad of Buster Scruggs? I will definitely see that again.

Solomon Kane 18264 Posted September 5, 2021 Share Posted September 5, 2021 I liked the Ballad of Buster Scruggs, but not The Hateful Eight. Tarantino movies seem to have too much violence against women for my taste. Maybe I’m too old fashioned but I don’t care much for that sort of thing.

I wish there'd been more chapters in Buster Scruggs.....great movie! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Capt. R. Hugh Kidnme Posted September 5, 2021 Share Posted September 5, 2021 I loved the old, gold miner ( Tom W) segment of Buster Scruggs. And, Tim Blake Nelson is the most underrated actor working today. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Charlie MacNeil, SASS #48580 Posted September 5, 2021 Share Posted September 5, 2021 Hateful Eight is three hours of my life I wish I could have back. Unfortunately I kept watching it hoping it would get better but it never did... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I understand that one other chapter "The Gal Who Got Rattled" was based on an old Western short story, too, though I haven't read that one. That was a sad one.
