Watched this earlier and despite it not being the film I expected, it was a great blast.
Some great turns by Brad Pitt and Leonardo Dicaprio as you'd expect.
The scenes with Bruce Lee and the Manson Family at the end just cracked me up🤣
9/10

Loved it too
Think we discussed it on the Netflix thread somewhere
The reaction has been very mixed but I agree, it was a lot of fun

I thought both the leads were brilliant. Memorable performances.
Interestingly as far as I can remember no black people and no use of the N-word.
I suppose Tarantino's revisionist ending was at least some justice morally for Sharon Tate, her unborn child and her friends.
Also, I bet I wasn't the only one who enjoyed seeing the so called 'Manson Family'get their comeuppance albeit only in fiction.

Yes. Agree with every word you've written rogue
I feared the worst in that final Manson family home invasion scene

I've also found the posts in the Netflix thread... Once Upon A Time In Hollywood Di Caprio and Pitt excel as fading star and his stunt double in 69 Tinsel Town. Tarantino nails the transition from square jawed heroes to the hippy takeover. Sharon Tate, Polanski, Manson, Mama Cass are in there. Plus a soundtrack to die for. 10/10 Yeah, great film, actually splashed out on the physical 4k disc for this one, well worth it. Couldn't agree more Really loved it Got to say I thought the ending was genius. I had a mounting sense of dread as the conclusion approached. I'll probably rewatch it in a few weeks.

Yes. Agree with every word you've written rogue I feared the worst in that final Manson family home invasion scene I personally think anyone who glorifies Manson and his cowardly sadists should really fuck off out of the sphere of decent people. I actually thought they would show the Tate killings but was chuffed that Tarantino turned the ending on its head. Generally though, there were some great cameos too including Nicholas 'Spiderman' Hammond as Sam Wanamaker and even more surprisingly Damian Lewis as Steve McQueen!!

Even better the second time around. You miss so much in the first sitting.

I think you understand the characters a bit more tge second time around. Especially, Rick Dalton.
I also think it resonates more with kids who grew up in the late 60's/70's as we were brought up on a diet of those TV shows/movies like Tarantino himself.
It was good that Ron Ely got a mention too. I had almost forgot all about him.
