There we go again. Wouldn't say Im obsessed. I haven't even watch the movie. But Im just so crazy about their dynamic.
Bear with me. So personally, Scorpio and Harry are like the guy and the girl in Quentin's Like A Virgin analogy in Reservoir Dogs.
Harry love fucking with criminals, his superiors and the law. They know his mo but they let him do his thing anyway. So he's used to being in control, having power. But then he meets Scorpio and its like the power shifted. Scorpio dug deep where no one has gone before. He makes Harry feel pain again.

Dating Cliff Booth Would Include:
Just some cute little headcannons!
⚠️ Warnings: language, sexual innuendos, drug use, sexy Dilf Brad Pitt? ⚠️
The way you met was strange; you were at a gas station somewhere in the western parts of Hollywood when you saw a yellow 1966 Cadillac Coupe de Ville pull up out front. Sporting a Hawaiian shirt brighter than the sun and a cigarette dangling from his teeth, the man walked in and announced that he needed heavy duty cleaner because there was blood on the hood of his car. From whom, you didn't know but with the way he flashed his teeth at you and slicked back his hair, you knew that you were in more trouble than whomever Cliff Booth decided to beat up that day.
He had promised himself that he would never get married again after the incident, but you were too goddamn charming and the way your shorts rode up your thighs.......
His bright smile and even brighter persona is what drew you in; a nice contrast against your usual pessimistic attitude and overall sense that the universe was out to stab you in the back.
And your pessimism is what drew him in, you were always real with him and watching a smile light up your face after a joke he made was like heroin to him. And he also found it funny how you managed to trip over nothing when you were lost in your rants about how the seats in his car were too warm or how the sky hurt your eyes.
Long car rides where you share the aux cord- him usually going for something along the lines of Billy Idol and your response with the Sex Pistols.
In this instance, opposites really do attract.
But you loved him good and that's what he had been searching for, unbeknownst to him. He didn't think he would ever date someone with a significant age difference, but the fact that you were fresh into your twenties didn't seem to bother him too much.
On the occasion where you two would play-fight, you would call him grandpa and that would shut up any other insults he could come up with.
Him having pet names for you, which you usually hated but allowed him to continue.
Some examples of these would be: Darling, Babe, Princess, but his all time favorite would be little shrimp because he knew it pissed you off.
And your pet names for him were usually: Love, Babe, Love of my Life, Asshole, and Cowboy. Cowboy was because of his southern accent.....probably.
HIM HOLDING YOUR THIGH WHILE HE DRIVES LORD SAVE ME NOW
Becoming best friends with Rick Dalton because of your close proximity to Cliff all the time.
Spending time with Rick watching his movies while Cliff busies himself with making margaritas in the kitchen.
To which you drink with haste, whereas the other boys take it a bit slower because chances are that they're drunk already.
Laying down on Cliff while you talk to Rick about filming. Rick rolling a joint and offering one to you and Cliff.
Your favorite thing about Cliff though, was his dog.
Brandy instantly loved you and you didn't have to rub peanut butter all over your face for this to be true, unlike your husband.
Getting married with just the two of you and Rick; a bright sunny day in the middle of absolutely nowhere, your only other guests being tumbleweeds and sand.
Having antique rings that the both of you thrifted.
Cliff says it's because, "We're keepin' love alive."
Rick allowing the two of you to spend the night at his place since the camper is usually a mess and is a bit too small for the two of you.
You usually are able to make room when he-
And he-
And on the table where he-
And sometimes even outside when you-
And then in the back of Rick's car sometimes-
Y'all are horny, that's the point.
Wearing Cliff's shirts!!!!!!???
"Hey, that's my favorite yellow one!"
"it's my favorite too, now help me match it with one of your glasses."
He obliges.
Rolling up to pick up Rick but making him sit in the back because he's the third wheel now.
Sometimes he likes to throw a fit about how "movie stars ride in the front, pimps in the back," to which he receives a nice finger from you and an insult about his haircut. It's okay though because you can pet Cliff's hair from the backseat as he drives.
Grabbing snacks for the road!!! You usually grab a coffee and a bag of Twizzlers while Cliff opts for a protein bar and a lemonade.
Kissing Cliff in public all the time.
Like- all the time.
Everywhere.
Cuddling while watching movies and sitting in his lap while you fuss over his hair and making out with him while he pumps gas.
The possibilities are endless.
Chilling with Rick in his pool while listening to his tapes for auditions and giving him advice where you see fit.
Also stealing Rick's sunglasses.
"Where the f-f-fuck are m-my sunglasses?! Cliff??"
"My lady's wearin' em."
"W-well tell her to take em off!"
"Little Shrimp, can you give Rick his glasses back?"
"Nope."
"There's your answer."
Wearing skimpy outfits just because you know you're fucking with your husband.
And him taking his shirts off whenever he decides to work on a project and watching you get all hot and flustered.
Going to restaurants and choosing the wackiest things off the menu, trying to one up each other with your weirdness.
Usually sharing bits and pieces of your meals with each other.
Listening to him talk for hours about his favorite movies and musicians.
And him listening to you talk about yours.
All in all, y'all love each other.
My heart hurts.
Quentin Tarantino upon hearing this awesome movie idea.
I couldn't resist rebloging this after hearing this idea.
have you yet had the cognitive dissonance that comes with learning that Jon Pertwee was an actual spy in WWII or have you not yet had that pleasure
i HAVE and it's so funny - imagine being a real life British spy and, posthumously, your most recognized achievement is playing a gay science magician on children's television
it's what he would have wanted
Tinkerbell Comes To Town
I made this painting as a fun What If? idea, I figured if Quentin Tarantino ever directed a Peter Pan movie; He would cast Pam Grier as the powerful fairy, her portray of would have been fun to see especially for fans of her 1970s action movies.
The Hateful Eight (Quentin Tarantino, 2015)

I think Sharon Tate was there to show the new wave of young actors and actresses that were up and coming in Hollywood at the time. Her husband was one of the most celebrated new directors at the time. While she wasn’t a star in her own right, she symbolized the young actresses of the late swinging sixties, in the way that Leonardo diCaprio’s character represented the old Hollywood that was dying out.
As for Charles Manson, there’s the Tate connection and the Hollywood connection. He and his followers lived at Spahn Ranch, which used to be a movie set for movies and TV Westerns a few decades earlier, the same time Rick Dalton was on Bounty Law (clearly loosely inspired by Lancer, Gunsmoke, Bonanza, etc). Spahn Ranch is the symbol of broken dreams and abandoned sets from old Hollywood. It also represents death and decay in the film (I mean, look who’s living there--an old, blind, dying man and a sinister group of fake-hippies that would go on to produce some of the most infamous and grisly murders in Los Angeles history--literal bringers of death).
Also, member of the Manson family threatened different Hollywood actors like Steve McQueen (who feared for his life so much he didn’t show up at his friend Sharon Tate’s funeral), Richard Burton, Frank Sinatra, etc.
Another important thing to connect Manson to the main plot of the movie is that he and a couple other male members of his “family” killed movie/tv stuntman Donald Jerome Shea, called Shorty, who they believed ratted on them to the police when the ranch was raided by police a few weeks after the murder (police at the time didn’t connect Manson and his followers to the murders, it was a drug bust). Manson, Tex (Charles Watson, who is in the film), Clem (Steve Grogan, the blond guy Brad Pitt beats up at the ranch), and Bruce Davis brutally murdered Shorty and hid his body near the ranch. Throughout the movie, up until the very end, I thought Brad Pitt was going to be this movie’s stand-in for Shorty, which is part of what made the scene at Spahn Ranch so intense.
The Manson family and Sharon Tate are a part of this movie because they add to the film’s idea that this is the end of an era for Hollywood and for America--the end of the sixties, which started out full of hopes and dreams (like actors who first make it to Hollywood) only to end in cynicism and violence.
Once upon a time in Hollywood
This movie came out about a week ago in Australia; 15th August 2019. I wanted to see the movie when it came out but due to uni, I had to make Once upon a time in Hollywood my last priority. One of my lecturers recommended seeing it, saying “Use it as a celebration movie for getting through tri 1.”
Quentin Tarantino’ s 9th movie and rumoured second last movie of his to be done. Starring amazing talent; Leonardo DiCaprio, Brad Pitt, Margot Robbie and Al Pacino just to name a few.
This movie follows Rick Dalton (Leonardo DiCaprio) and his stunt double, Cliff Booth (Brad Pitt) in 1969 and 1970,where Rick goes through a career crisis. With tie-in’s to Sharon Tate and Charles Manson.
I’ll be honest all this was before my time. Charles Manson’s cult was in jail by the time I had grasped a concept of who they were. I may have grown up on Bruce Lee movies but my non-martial art movie knowledge of him is unknown nor do I know who Sharon Tate is. Seeing this movie is more from an outsiders point of view, looking into a team that I don’t know.
Some have said to take Once upon a time in Hollywood with a grain of salt; few say this is a work of fiction while few say this is true. While Quentin Tarantino has admitted this is, he love letter to Hollywood.
I hadn’t heard much about Once upon a time in Hollywood except that no one was allowed to spoil the ending due to it being a huge thing that needs to be seen first-hand.
Once upon a time in Hollywood has limited sessions in Australia due to the run length of the movie but if you do see it than you’ll find that time flew by even if you didn’t like it.
Once upon a time in Hollywood is an interesting story, I want to say I hated it but as a film student it was fantastic, I absolutely loved it. The way a dolly was put to use, jump cuts well and countless other things I’ve been studying; the cinematographer, Robert Richardson seems like someone a film student can use as inspiration. Unfortunately, if I wasn’t a film student, I would have found this movie incredibly boring except for the last ten minutes where it shows gruesome yet somehow hilarious ending.
My issue with this movie was why get Sharon Tate and Manson’s cult involved? The movie would’ve have been fine without those two. I sort of understand why a Bruce Lee impersonator was used but after his fight scene with Cliff there wasn’t a reason to why Bruce was needed any more.
Once Upon a time in Hollywood is a movie that will show a different perspective of the late 60’s and early 70’s but not quite how you’d think. Even I’m not sure what to think of it.
She is so pretty in that Kill Bill yellow. Love this picture 💛

INGLOURIOUS BASTERDS (2009) DIR. QUENTIN TARANTINO
Now, I don’t know about y'all, but I sure as hell didn’t come down from the goddamn Smoky Mountains, cross five thousand miles of water, fight my way through half of Sicily and jump out of a fuckin’ airplane to teach the Nazis lessons in humanity. Nazi ain’t got no humanity. They’re the foot soldiers of a Jew-hatin’, mass murderin’ maniac and they need to be destroyed. That’s why any and every son of a bitch we find wearin’ a Nazi uniform, they’re gonna die.
there's something fascinating about how tarantino describes his storytelling process and artistic vision. the way he articulates the deliberate choices he makes and the importance of their effect demonstrates the depth of his understanding as a director and writer. he gets you think about his work, analyze the various possibilities with the freedom to draw your own conclusions, and even seek it out again to view it through a new lens, which is probably the best reception to get from audiences. he said that wanted people to watch his movies and be inspired to make their own and he absolutely nailed it. massive respect
