This movie is so much better than Once Upon a Time it's not even funny.
I fully understand that's not a take anyone here (or anywhere really) will appreciate or take seriously, but it's the fucking truth.

I thought you were supposed to be more of a "art quality is subjective" kind of guy. Plus, you generally don't like Tarantino.
Doctor Sleep. This movie is kind of a mess. Ewan McGregor's performance is subpar. Child acting is also bad. I blame the directing. I enjoyed some of it, but a lot of it feels pointless, aside from "remember The Shining?". Stupid movie overall.

I am 100% fully in the "art is subjective" camp. I am also 100% not a Tarantino guy. I'm also 100% prone to hyperbole.
Thought both were worth watching, but nothing special. The Clint movie had a disney-like happy ending. Killing Them Softly should have been built around Pitt fron the very first scene.
Tommy's on the team with us. And I remember that Malloy likes Scoot thanks to this movie, though I'm not sure if he loves the movie as a whole as we do
