The only way to watch today is either a little bit sleepy, a little bit hungover, a tiny bit high, or all three. It was a provocative, pseudo tongue-in-cheek movie in 1996 when it was released on January 18, and 30 years later, it feels like a surreal fever dream. In some ways, you could say is the most patient B-movie of all time, waiting for nearly an hour to actually reveal its supernatural, bloodthirsty premise.

Woods's vigilante justice was a response to Tarantino's unwarranted and reality-divorced criticism of Paul Dano on The Bret Easton Ellis Podcast, where the Kill Bill director called Dano "the weakest fucking actor in SAG." The comments galvanized seemingly half of Hollywood to unite, "We Are the World" style, in support of Dano and his acting abilities, with even Daniel Day-Lewis coming out of the Reynolds woodwork to protect his boy Eli.

Considering Tarantino's penchant for championing Asian cinema and his taste for stylized hyper-violence, the pick certainly didn't come out of nowhere. But for many of those watching him chat about his favorites, the movie was as much of a myth as an actual product. Battle Royale hadn't been officially released on home video in the United States, so if you'd missed its few theatrical showings, you were left scrabbling for a bootleg version

"We'll see," "I've got other things to do... I have a whole Kill Bill idea in my mind, but it was wiped out." "I like the idea of a Bill origin," "And the three godfathers that made Bill: Esteba Vihaio, Pai Mei, and Hattori Hanzo. Will I live long enough to do that? That remains to be seen."

If you're out of the loop, people have long speculated that Quentin has a thing for feet given how much airtime they get in his movies. Once Upon a Time... in Hollywood featured shots of Margot Robbie, Margaret Qualley, and Dakota Fanning's bare feet, Uma Thurman went barefoot in that iconic Pulp Fiction dance scene, and Quentin famously cast himself as the person who slurped tequila from Salma Hayek's toes in From Dusk Till Dawn.

There are so many people who deserve to have this kind of life who don't, but I think I'm comfortable with not deserving it and doing it anyway...It's OK to be made fun of when you're in rarefied air. It's a lucky place to be.

Tarantino stated, "I think Inglourious Basterds is my masterpiece but Once Upon a Time in Hollywood is my favourite." This reflects his personal connection to his works.

"Every Tarantino title promises so much, except 'The Movie Critic.' Who wants to see a movie about a fucking movie critic?"

Popcorn can make or break the movie-going experience, turning bad films into enjoyable ones when fresh and hot, while stale ones can spoil the best films.
