Lena Dunham was a Manson cultist! Aha, the ex-boyfriend of Sharon Tate is played by Emile Hirsch – I’ve seen a bunch of his movies (including some great ones<\/a>) but I never recognize him. Same goes for Scoot McNairy, who played Business Bob. Dunno what Kevin Smith’s daughter or Demi Moore’s daughter look like, but they were both in there somewhere.<\/p>\n

Mostly I watched the movie so I could finally read all the articles about the movie…<\/p>\n

ScreenCrush<\/a>: “Cliff is actually the type of guy Rick plays on television.”<\/p>\n

Roger Ebert<\/a>: “a movie not so much about an era but about the movies of that era”<\/p>\n

The movie’s wikipedia<\/a> is surprisingly good, and I found an in-depth article on a music site<\/a> about the song the ranch girls sing while dumpster diving.<\/p>\n

Slashfilm<\/a> has a LOT about the movie’s songs – I found it while searching for the “Behind the Green Door” novelty song DiCaprio sings badly on television in flashback (which is period-correct).<\/p>\n

Burt Reynolds was supposed to play the blind ranch owner, but he died while rehearsing his lines<\/a>. Pitt’s character was partly based on a stuntman<\/a> who worked with Reynolds. And this is Tarantino’s second movie<\/a> about a stuntman – the last one starred Kurt Russell (here he played the stunt coordinator on the Bruce Lee set) and Zoe Bell<\/a> (she played Kurt’s wife whose car is wrecked by Pitt – and she’s the actual stunt coordinator of this movie).<\/p>\n

For balance, The New Yorker<\/a> was not impressed, says Tarantino is racist, sexist, and a wannabe cult-leader.<\/p>\n

The Atlantic<\/a> responds (“Charles Manson was a white supremacist, a fact that does tend to put a lot of white people in a movie”), attacking the New Yorker, and ending with a hilarious Brad Pitt anecdote.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
