I finished watching Once Upon a Time In Hollywood and I understood it but I’m still confused why it got such rave reviews. Did I miss something? I thought it had no real story line.
useless_modern_god@aussie.zone 10 months ago
I’ve watched it about 10 times now. It really does get better with more viewings. If you just ignore some of the superficial stuff, it’s a great story of a failing actor dealing with loss of fame, popularity and continued success in fickle Hollywood. His waning self confidence is exacerbated by alcoholism. I think it’s some of DiCaprio’s absolute best work.
Also I think Brad Pitt won a best supporting actor Oscar for this one and for the life of me I can’t figure out why. His role had no range whatsoever. (Kind of a weird because he was leading man in Ad Astra the same year with the same stilted acting style)
The final act in the film is just pure Tarantino revenge porn which he has built a reputation on. It’s a trademark for him.
9/10
Seagoon_@aussie.zone 10 months ago
I agree, DiCaprio was very good.
And on further reflection, I’ve only seen it twice, I think the story was taken from Once Upon a Time in The West. He even used that same very famous opening shot of the town and many other angles. www.youtube.com/watch?v=CdL__zuZvpA&t=228s

One of Tarantino’s things to do alternative history storylines, and what-if type stories, where the winners are the people that didn’t get to win in real life. Other examples are Inglorious Bastards and Django unchained. I don’t think it was the best of his movies, but I didn’t mind it. Agree it was a bit overhyped.
CEOofmyhouse56@aussie.zone 10 months ago
Oh. This makes a little more sense now. Thanks.
Seagoon_@aussie.zone 10 months ago
I think it’s a reflection of Tarantino’s character and how he sees the world and hollywood.
It’s a good movie but I don’t agree with his world view.
CEOofmyhouse56@aussie.zone 10 months ago
I thought it was a good storyline but the ending was weird to include real life people in a fictional ending. I don’t know. I’m confused.

Yikes just jumped up on the roof to suss whether the gutter guards I put in were still in place after that wind.
Turns out I have a lot gutter cleaning to do :( I swore I just did them recently.
Which brings us to a rave choon. Fuck the gutter

If you’re open and I’m not too late a cheeky coffee with a nice biscuit.

Woke up automatically at 6:45am which is great.
Did got back to bed because it’s freezing lol
RustyRaven@aussie.zone 10 months ago
I woke up about 5 mins before my 4am alarm. Spent some time debating whether to just get up or wait for the alarm to go off. Fortunately I realised just before I acted on my decision to just get up that it is not a work day. Rolled over and went back to sleep for a few hours.
Duenan@aussie.zone 10 months ago
Bah. Another bad loss tonight. Switched channels to save myself from more pain.
Now I don’t know what to do.
Llabyrinthine@aussie.zone 10 months ago
I legit don’t know how people do the Tuol Sleng Genocide Museum without breaking down. I’m usually sooky with poor sleep, but this took just about all my will power.
SituationCake@aussie.zone 10 months ago
It wrecked me. Saddest and most chilling place I’ve ever been. (Have not been to holocaust sites, I assume they are the same). The horror of what human behaviour can descend to is repulsive and terrifying.
Llabyrinthine@aussie.zone 10 months ago
I haven’t been to any either, but there is a level of… I don’t think words can accurately describe it. It’s an infectious psychopathy that belies belief, but I also have questions (I don’t get into a lot of war history) what happens when you’re collateral damage in a war.
There are a couple older gents there that are survivors and one of the banners said that he now identifies with those members, feeling as though they were victim themselves.
I think the human capacity to endure in the face of such horror… I just have no words, really. I don’t think I would ever have that strength.
Llabyrinthine@aussie.zone 10 months ago
So no secret here that I pay obnoxious amounts for coffee. Not particularly a coffee snob, but heh, I get around.
The most expensive so far I think I’ve paid for was at Greece Airport.
So far:
- Changi Airport - Kenangan Coffee $6
- Jewel (Changi Airport): % Arabica $10 (that’s on par with above)
- Melbourne Coffee (Phnom Penh): $1.88 USD
The last equates to under $3 AUD. I gave $2 (USD) and said to keep the change…
I’m now sitting in a park contemplating how this feels like it’s socioeconomically representative. Not from what we can afford, but what they charge. % Arabica, was good but just the general level I’d expect in Melbourne from a minimalist white designed cafe, but not for that price point which was around $8 SGD to begin with.
Props to Kenangan, though. Man who made my coffee, hard to tell with age, but easily 50s, maybe 60s?
Probably can go on a holiday with my coffee money.
Duenan@aussie.zone 10 months ago
I moved to making my own coffee because of how much I was spending on takeaways in a week and this was awhile ago.
What I spent over a year could have given me a holiday as well.
wscholermann@aussie.zone 10 months ago
10 dollars? Fucking hell that’s pretty bad even for an airport.
Llabyrinthine@aussie.zone 10 months ago
I mean, I didn’t even to ask for the price, so when it came up I was like: 😑
Alamutjones@aussie.zone 10 months ago
What are the odds the card readers at my usual market stops will be working? I need to know if I should take cash to shop with
Force_majeure123@aussie.zone 10 months ago
Bring cash just in case 🤷♂️

I’m stuffed. Eagles phoned it in like a bunch of Wallys LOL! Thai and drinks for dinner.
Home now and the cat is very happy to see us. His cuddles at the end of the night make braving the cold all day worth it.
Duenan@aussie.zone 10 months ago
I feel cold. I hate this feeling.
Llabyrinthine@aussie.zone 10 months ago
Anyone ever had an “Amount exceeds the contactless offline limit.” When try to pay for something with their phone?
First time I’ve had this…
LowExperience2368@aussie.zone 10 months ago
Something that’s popping up is that falling in love, if you can call it that, never felt like peace. It was exciting and all, but the deep sense of contentment that I longed to feel wasn’t there? Falling in love in a non-romantic way has just felt way more ‘peace and calm’. Maybe it was a matter of being in the wrong relationship.
I hope that this idea I have of love is just a sign of my amateurish existence.
Seagoon_@aussie.zone 10 months ago
hugs, all of are still learning, no matter our age
that peace and calm comes with romantic love too
I found in an earlier relationship I was often agitated, an energetic unease , to me excitement is more anticipation of good things or positive energy

Watched the new Beverly Hills Cop movie on Netflix. Very bland. Eddie Murphy was so flat. Pity. I remember the originals being really fun.

I’ve got my the design for the covers for my antique chairs sorted and pinned ready for sewing. I think I will make some matching scatter cushions too. :)

Gratitude thread
Grateful for my mum making my dinner last night. Also the cheat cookies I ate.
underwatermagpies@aussie.zone 10 months ago
Grateful to be on holidays in Port Fairy. And to be unaffected by all the IT drama, so far at least.
