I live in Charleston SC (where Bill Murray lives) and Bill is a god when he’s spotted somewhere but he NEVER lets it get to his head. he’ll come to a bar and get behind it to serve drinks, he’ll take pics with anybody that asks nicely, and he genuinely will make an effort to look/smile or something to everybody in the room so they have a memory. he’s a national treasure and I hope he lives on for many more years with a good bill of health

Thankyou my 80's brother, and Kung Fu movies carries on getting crazier if anything, Wutang VS Shaolin, Wu Tang VS Ninja etc.. Earlier movies he CLEARLY took from, Pai Mei and the white bearded master trope (Bwa ha ha ha ah!!!) - taken to crazy extremes, but well done in the afore mentioned movies.. So many amazing comedy horror (Reanimator - watch now if you didn't yet), inadvertent comedy horror, Kung fu, Trippy movies 80's- early 90's.. Lots of sweet shit there and lots online still! Sci Fi was good too, Dune,(Brain explodes.. Lynch did well imo), Naked Lunch, Existense, big budget kid stuff like Flight of the navigator etc in the 80's.. Very sugar, but was some very cool shit for kids heck- Krull?!? Gave me nightmares as a kid and is a family movie!!!! Yeah, lots of decent shit 80's, 90's (early certainly).

Chevy and/or Bill were GREAT in those films!

[@fortusvictus8297]

To his point though...each of those movies are 'transformation' movies. The characters are completely different at the end than at the beginning, and they generally are not great people in the beginning. How many 80's movies are about good people who are somehow worse at the end of the story? They are all a 'marginal' or crappy person who gets transformed into an 'enlightened' form of themself.

[@tirvine9102]

I agree, my favorite movies are from the 80s. Taken as a whole it was a very commercial time when producers were calling the shots in the soul interest of making a buck. I also grew up with those movies, QT grow up with the movies he loves most. In the 90s the rise of independent film renewed that spirit of the 60s and 70s. Creative thinkers like Tarantino rose up and each infused the industry their own unique artististry.

Iago is a perfect example of a character. You can put him in any movie, book or TV show and he will be Iago just the same. His ideals and motivations fleshed out enough for the individual to be able to infer his response to any given interaction.

I’m a weirdo who doesn’t care about movies, but hearing anyone so passionately talk about anything is amazing & I’m 2 minutes away from watching the whole episode

[@David-_-_-]

His critique of ground hog day is pretty shallow though. He points to it as like a cliche movie where they just suddenly changed Bill Murrays character in the last 20 minutes for no apparent reason. The whole basis for the movie is kind of built around the spiritual concept of reincarnation - with each day he is given the chance to live a new and start fresh. He starts out before this as a bit of an selfish ahole - and then as the day reset starts happening he initially uses this to go and becomes a way bigger a hole and doing all the hedonistic things he can think of. Then he confronts the negative fall out from these. Then bored with the hedonism and negative fall out he wants to escape the loop. So he tries to be good to "escape" the day loop through going and just trying to do good deeds to kind of "appease god" or whoever is controling the time loop which also doesn't work. And then eventually he just decides he is trapped and not knowing what to do he starts creating genuine relationships with the people around him and getting to know them and actually begins to like and care about them - and finally at the end he basically lives the "perfect day". He goes and helps a lot of people and learns new skills not just to "do good deeds" to try to escape the loop - but just because he actually cares about them. This is what eventually releases him from the time loop. The movie arc is really powerful and not just some cliche "they made bill murray nice for the last 20minutes". It reminds me of the very serious estern spiritual movie "Spring, Summer, Fall, Winter and Spring" only disguised as a Bill Murray comedy

[@bluebonics8079]

Quentin was just entering adulthood around the start of the eighties. There seems to be a pattern around early adulthood where people start to become critical (almost hyper-critcial - the "hipster attitude") and more discerning about what they consume, so it's understandable he's so critical of eighties movies. The media people consume during their child and adolescent years is often viewed in an idealistic, uncritical haze. There is a correlation in the music realm. So many kids who grew up on late 60's/70's music hated 80's music, often complaining it was overproduced and too commercial. This is what led to the grunge rebellion in the early 90's.

[@MakeMeCare89]

And then the happy go lucky era of the 2000s 😆

[@dixonhill1108]

Or you came of age around 2000 and figured out how to download movies from the 80s and 70s and see exactly what he's talking about.. "So many kids who grew up on late 60's/70's music hated 80's music" have you ever even listened to music from that era? You can pretty much chart the downward decline of rock music. You can go with your opinion and all that, but it's objective fact that guitar base music decline in popularity every year after 1977. "This is what led to the grunge rebellion in the early 90's." grunge was a product of innovation in recording technology. Starting in the late 80s, audio compression technology became common place. Before that point the only way to make a full sound was to play fast and busy guitar. When compression technology hit, slow tempo/down tuned guitars started sounding full. Grunge is just a branding it was literally nothing more than a change in production technology. "The media people consume during their child and adolescent years is often viewed in an idealistic, uncritical haze" Then you become an adult and can sample things on your own.

[@3rdEyeWide]

@@dixonhill1108 Yeah, right. So movies were all sunshine and rainbows in the 80's. It's not like that was the era of the "video nasty" and the dawn of such genres as body horror. The MXR compression pedal had been available since the early seventies. Led Zeppelin extensively used compression to create their signature sound (creating slower, heavier songs such as When The Levee Breaks). Even the Stones used compression. If the only thing that seperates 80's commercial glam/hair metal "cock rock" from 90's grunge/alternative rock is the technology, why then is the lyrical content so radically different? 80's hair rock is all about girls and partying. 90's grunge is far darker, introspective with existentialist themes.

[@pleasebeinteresting]

Ouch ! Im a hypocrite

[@3rdEyeWide]

@@pleasebeinteresting I can only take it that you are referencing the fact that I stated the difference in lyrical theme/ mood from 80's glam rock to 90's grunge/alternative and that that difference in theme and mood is applicable to Tarantino discerning between 60/70's film-making to 80's film-making. The point is no one mood/theme generally defines an entire era/decade. At the same time 80's glam rock was pre-occupied with more testoterone-fueled themes there were more serious and interesting themes being explored in 80's New Wave and Romantic music. Even a song as "poppy" as Nena's 99 Red Balloons is actually a reference about the 80's cold war (very applicable to now).

@@SoulEternalPeaceWarrior77 Was given amazing Star Wars art for my birthday. Amazingly, in walks Harrison Ford to the same restaurant (by himself; solo you could say). Having a few drinks in me and thinking this a cosmic coincidence, I meekly and humbly approached Mr. Ford as he was waiting to be seated and asked him to sign my artwork. He wouldn't look at me nor talk to me, and asked for me to be kicked out of the restaurant. The entire encounter lasted less than 30 seconds, but felt like a hellish lifetime. Embarrassingly, Ford was seated at the table next to my birthday celebration. He ended up meeting Jon Favreu; most likely discussing "Cowboys & Aliens" from the timeframe of it all. The only reason I wasn't kicked out of the restaurant is because I was staying at the hotel (Beverly Hills Hotel), and was a regular at the restaurant (Polo Lounge). After our meal concluded, I was literally escorted out like I was some sort of criminal, being admonished by hotel security: "Now we're not going to bother Mr. Ford again, are we?"

[@AYoungMusicianDude]

I gotta highly disagree with you here. The 1960s might have had only little compared to the mass amount of films and TV that followed; but the films were much more groundbreaking and memorable compared to the previous decades. The 60s started to push boundaries, that were previously seen as taboo or unethical, even in the media. By the time the 80s rolled around a lot started to become watered down. Many potent concepts expressed previously were placed on the back burner, while huge companies began to make entire franchises based off greed. The 60s broke the “American paradise” mold from post WWII, and allowed us to create art that criticize the establishment. That’s why whether or not it had less or more interesting material by more modern standards, it was the decade that started the standard we go by today; and perfected the twist endings that still leave us in thought today. Maybe the quality might not seem as catching, but when you watch the last scene of planet of the apes or the ending to Rosemary’s baby I bet you’d see the parallels we still use in contemporary film today.

He radically changes. Now the others movies, I think the criticism is more or less valid.

And Stripes he had to go through boot camp. He got beat up repeatedly. He was introduced to discipline, hard work, leadership, structure, teamwork, etc... what the Army is supposed to do to someone. It makes sense that he would no longer by a cynical deadbeat lazy bum. Quentin must have a grudge against Murray.

Exactly, Groundhog Day has a lot of parallels with Scrooged (or to be precise A Christmas Carol), a story arc where a character sees the error of his ways and changes, that's the whole point. His analysis is nonsense, which is surprising coming from Quentin Tarantino.

Get Chevy on the Podcast! I want to know his take on Community

[@aldoushuxley5953]

Me too! I still hope he will be in the movie as a flashback or hallucination though

[@maxmeier532]

What else do you want to know, how the titanic sank? Man, you need to update your references who cares. That community controvery has been adressed and revomitted to an unbearable degree.

[@reefchiefer]

I doubt he would be into it

[@ConnorMcCartney95]

We already know how he feels about community. Doubt Joe Rogan has watched it to question it.

Chevy: Get the f**k away from me!

[@drewdelaney4166]

Never really gave much thought or interest in cinema talk but for some reason I could listen to Tarantino talk about it for hours. Quite interesting

[@peregrinehawk8363]

You can't really criticize groundhog day for having the character change in a major way because the concept of the movie is that everything stays the same except for the main character so the movie needed for the main character to change.
