The Hateful Eight: 70mm Roadshow

Inglorious Bastards is still my favorite Tarantino movie but The Hateful Eight comes in a close second. The thing with this movie is it's really just Tarantino patting himself on the back the whole time. It is a really amazing movie, but at times I was thinking, this is just for him isn't it? There is nothing unoriginal about this movie, like most of his other movies. Every little twist that happens throws you off a little bit more; it's so filled with events that will throw you, that the best summary someone can get without spoiling anything is that a bounty hunter has caught a woman who is worth $10,000 and due to a blizzard, is forced to stop in a log cabin where seven other people also congregate because of the blizzard. The basic conflict of the movie is that this bounty hunter is super paranoid that someone is working with his captive woman to set her free. Any more explanation past that would ruin some sort of revelation in the film.
