• Once Upon a Time...in Hollywood (Tarantino)

    Available this summer: an upcoming novelization of my favorite alternate history story. It's what shoulda happened.

    Quentin Tarantino's long-awaited first work of fiction - at
    once hilarious, delicious, and brutal - is the always
    surprising, sometimes shocking new novel based on his
    Academy Award-winning film

    RICK DALTON - Once he had his own TV series, but now Rick's
    a washed-up villain-of-the week drowning his sorrows in
    whiskey sours. Will a phone call from Rome save his fate
    or seal it?

    CLIFF BOOTH - Rick's stunt double, and the most infamous
    man on any movie set because he's the only one there who
    might have gotten away with murder....

    SHARON TATE - She left Texas to chase a movie-star dream,
    and found it. Sharon's salad days are now spent on Cielo
    Drive, high in the Hollywood Hills.

    CHARLES MANSON - The ex-con's got a bunch of zonked-out
    hippies thinking he's their spiritual leader, but he'd
    trade it all to be a rock ‘n' roll star.

    The film was: long, boring, and uninteresting. Then Tarantino,
    realizing that he was running out of screen time, decided to /tell/
    rather than /show/ -- a clear sign of failure.

    The book might be better.

    Then again, it might not be.

    As a native Los Angelean, Tarantino's movie connects with me on an
    almost supernatural manner, despite, or maybe because of, its over-the-
    top redemptive violence. (Tarantino's violence generally turns me off.)
    He reportedly worked on this movie for ten years and DiCaprio took a
    pay cut to star in it. Besides a rather naughty Montana debutante acting
    out, the movie also features Brandy. Many of the fine women in my life absolutely adore Brandy's act.

    Danke,

    Apparently it is seen as a right of passage for an actor to star in a
    Tarantino movie. DiCaprio did not hurt his status and in fact probably
    raised it to a new high.
