Another reason I take him at his word is that cinema by Tarantino's definition barely exists anymore. I've heard him talk multiple times about how digital projection is just "watching TV in public", and he considers only a film print is seeing a movie. I know for Hateful 8 and Once Upon A Time In Hollywood there was an effort to have 70mm and 35mm prints made, but I gotta figure 90% of the people who saw those movies saw digital projections. If he decides, he can continue making stuff (mini-series, even a feature-length streaming movie), but he won't consider that part of his "film career", but in a different category.

He was on Stern a few months back and did double down on it mentioning specifically at one point in the interview that he was going to make one more movie.

It's interesting that Tarantino's last movie set in the present day was Death Proof and that is presumably the last. He's already expressed disinterest in modern technology, so it makes sense that he's sticking with historical eras, especially with this movie taking place in the late 70s and Once Upon a Time being 1969, which cover time frames where he was a child/teenager.

Kael wrote the 1971 essay Raising Kane, as the introduction to The Citizen Kane Book, which also contains Kane's shooting script and continuity script. The essay was controversial because it minimized Welles' contributions to the film's script.

Guess we aren’t getting that Star Trak movie.

Thank Jebus.

Given his stance on cinema as an art dying, and that Kael saw something like Star Wars as kind of the start of that trend, this would make sense as the subject matter for his final movie.

I like his movies so I'm going to this, but so far I'm not excited about this subject matter. We'll see how things roll out.

I don't understand the "ten movies only" thing. Whatever. If you're called and talented and have resources, you do what you're supposed to do.

How much truth was there to that anyway?

I’m assuming there is going to be more to the story than what we’ve been told so far. I was reluctant about seeing Tarantino do a Charles Manson/Sharon Tate movie too. That was a small part of the move and Once Upon a Time in…Hollywood has since become one of my Top 3 favorite Tarantino movies and my favorite movie of 2019.

I was listening to the newest episode of the Big Picture podcast this morning and Sean Fennessey, who is friendly with Tarantino, mentioned that he knows what the movie is about and while he isn't allowed to reveal anything did say the reporting around the movie has maybe not been very accurate. For whatever that's worth.

Owen Gleiberman, former critic for Entertainment Weekly, talks a lot about Pauline Kael in his book, Movie Freak: My Life Watching Movies. Gleiberman is about four years older than Tarantino, so his book overlaps a lot with Cinema Speculation.
