So, when browsing some sites lately I’ve seen pics off to the side with Hollywood Pretty People at some event with a _[Bob & Carol & Ted & Alice](https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0064100/)_ poster behind them and was puzzled by that. Just not enough to click a link. But today it finally dawned on me that these were from the _OUaTiH_ premiere. And the _B&C&T&A_ isn’t the only one. Several classic posters where put up around the outside and lobby. First there are the other 1969 films. I’ve also managed to spot [_Run Wild, Run Free_](https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0064909/) and something called _[Otley](https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0064775/)_ with Tom Courtenay. There’s also the 4th (and final) Dean Martin Matt Helm film [_The Wrecking Crew_](https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0065225/). But, wait, you know perfectly well this was released in 1968. It was Sharon Tate’s last film to be released before she died. Aha. (Some say Martin didn’t want to do the next Matt Helm movie since Tate was supposed to have been in it.) Then the real puzzler. Something called _Nebraska Jim_ starring Rick Dalton from Sergio Corbucci. (The guy who did the real [_Django_](https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0060315/).) Searching IMDb turned up [another](https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0060901/) spaghetti western with a secondary title the same. But no Corbucci or Rick Dalton. None of the Corbucci films seem to match and none of the Rick Daltons either. What the hey? Googling shows:This is the movie within the movie that Tarantino made up. Where’s that thread about these? I wonder if there is some other connection to the 1969 films other than the year. (But I am IMDb-ed out for the day.) ---

Brad struggles with a 3 point turn. Awesome little car. I’m surprised it doesn’t turn on a dime. > **[Brad Pitt Fails to Make 3-Point Turn on 'Once Upon a Time in Hollywood' Set](https://www.tmz.com/2019/07/27/brad-pitt-once-upon-a-time-in-hollywood-set-driving-struggle/)** > > Brad Pitt struggles driving car on the "Once Upon a Time in Hollywood" set. > [@](#): > > Brad is behind the wheel of a 1960 Karmann Ghia roadster – an awesome car back in the day. Brad was trying to 3-point it on a narrow, Bev. Hills road, with little success as he filmed “Once Upon a Time in Hollywood.” ---

> [@Omar\_Little](#): > > This is not new. He has consistently said that he will only make 10 feature films and then retire from film making. > > Now he counts Kill Bill Vol 1 and Vol 2. as one film. That makes sense. I just rewatched [the trailer](https://youtu.be/ELeMaP8EPAA), which calls this his ninth film. ---

Good news: It’s expected to bring in a little over $40M this weekend making it Tarantino’s biggest opening. Bad news: The CinemaScore is B. This is not good. Reminder: CinemaScores are _highly_ grade inflated. Generic, crappy horror films usually get at least a B. With the Tarantino fanbase coming out in droves, apparently, for this film, that implies they aren’t all that thrilled with it. Expect big drops in coming weeks. (Speaking of drops, _The Lion King_ “live action” remake dropped 60% this weekend. For a Disney animated family-friendly film. Wow.) ---

I’d recommend that anyone planning to see this movie to take 10 minutes and read the entire Manson Family wikipedia entry before going. I was vaguely familiar with the murders and this gave me quite a bit of info on what Tarantino kept as factual and what he spun as fantasy. Also a lot of people, places, and timeline knowledge made viewing a lot more pleasurable. ---

A good rule of thumb: if you don’t know the significance of the Spahn Movie Ranch without looking it up, this movie probably won’t work for you. ---

I was vaguely familiar with the murders and this gave me quite a bit of info on what Tarantino kept as factual and what he spun as fantasy. Also a lot of people, places, and timeline knowledge made viewing a lot more pleasurable. Really? I’d go completely the other way. I want to go into a film knowing absolutely nothing about it. I have only the vaguest notion of the Manson murders and intend to keep it that way. if the film is unable to tell a full enough story by itself then it has failed in my opinion.
