I have a visceral reaction to advertising and promotion. There's just something about salesmanship that grates on me on a very base level and I react very negatively towards it. I want those people to suffer and I want their enterprises to fail.

And the outcry over the Bruce lee scene is asinine. He made those funny sounds all the time, he carried himself with arrogant bravado on a regular basis, and he did talk about beating up Muhammad Ali. Pitt’s getting some shots in established his character as a badass withtout in any way besmirching Lee or Asian people.

Margot Robbie is probably the best actor in the cast (at least 2nd best) and QT gives her next to nothing to do. He even takes a brief moment to imply that Sharon Tate could have had a thing for Manson. Thank god he got bored of that idea as quickly as all his other ideas in this thing. That could have been stip icky.

I didn't pick up on that. To me it looked like she approached everyone with open arms, love and kindness, even the man who would ultimately be responsible for her demise.
