    Tarantino strikes again. My friends and I lived through this weird era in America (ironically, America is much more horrific now); the film nailed it. If you were lucky you quickly learned that living in groups of spoiled, disenfranchised college trust - fund weirdos was not cool. The Cali scene was not cool, and you were better off getting an education and a job. We all hated Vietnam, even the vets hated that debacle. This movie accurately depicts what was awful about the 70s: smoking, smoking, smoking! Gross clothes, stupid movies, gas guzzlers, and the Columbian Army Marching Powder that ruined so many lives. The "bad acting" is a big part of the brilliance of LD and BP and MR! They are perfect in the depictions of air-heads and hard knocks working class in Hollywood. The great divide of the greater Hollywood society and the shallow aspects of "success" and "being rich" are a solid Tarantino commentary. The plot is a hoot! If you lived through the Manson murders, you will love the alternative ending. If you didn't, and you don't like the movie? TOUGH! Don't freaking go see it then. Sheesh, rating this film a 1? You just showed your hand, and it's a poor one.

    One fool I spoke to thought the Movie was set it the 70's . I doubt he even watched it. I did watch this and it was very disappointing. I was really sad watch the memory of Bruce Lee being Besmirched. I went to University with Shannon, and she was really upset about it when we spoke.

    Too long and boring. Not much of a storyline. I did like the music, clothes, cars and general ambience of the sixties. Otherwise a waste of time.

    The movie is a masterpiece. Tarantino did it again. I read that Tarantino had only one copy of the script and kept it locked up in a safe so even the actors were not all aware of how it would end. I saw the movie twice and enjoyed it so much better the second time.

    I enjoyed seeing a movie set in the 70's. It's a laughable rendition of some of the events and characters of the time.
