Huh? Was Leo supposed to work with Tarantino indefinitely just because he did for one other movie?
Of course not.
You're reading too much into that one.

How much control do directors have over release dates? I always figured that the studios made that decision but with someone as influential as Tarantino, I can imagine he has at least some input.
...The timing of the Revenant release is largely a play at awards season...that it has DiCaprio is just coincidental.
looks like I'll be watching Hateful Eight this NYE...
Guess Revenant will have to wait until the weekend
//edit
Lol, show starts at 7:45p looks like it'll be letting out around 11:30p
That's what I figured as soon as I heard the 1/6 release date. Definitely. It one of those "fuck you, it's January" releases.
At least you'll have an empty theater.
The wait for 1/8 is killing me!
...but I will wait. I will watch it in the largest format possible.
people who are watching the screener are doing them self a disservice, with the revenant or hateful 8. not a chance in hell i would ever ruin the experience watching a dvd quality version of a movie, video and sound wise.
That's like someone saying I'd never watch a movie on my TV because you are doing yourself a disservice if you don't watch it in the theater. Some people simply don't care, regardless of cinematography intent. No movies are intended to be watched on something other than at the theater. You are talking about a time period where people watch everything on their phones... the percentage of people who give a damn about visual quality is pretty small.

yep, thanks for regurgitating my point. there are many movies i would never consider watching on tv first viewing for that exact reason. after the initial first experience, watching it on a tv i'd have no problems with. but you can never get that first movie watching experience back.
i wish i could get the matrix first experience in the theater again, that was completely mind blowing. and i wish i had seen saving private ryan in the theater the first time i ever saw it. that would have been incredible.

Ignoring the flow of this specific conversation, I have to agree there. I'd like to add in Terminator 2 as the other movie I'd love to see in theaters again. And maybe the first Alien movie.
The good news though. Terminator 2 might be rereleased in theaters (in 3D) for it's 25th anniversary.

i really, really detested T2. i felt it destroyed everything that was awesome about T1. the relentless, pitiless death machine that kills without a thought.
"are you Sarah Connor?" *pew* *pew* *THUMP* pewpew some more.
that scene in the police station was just glorious. and T2 is the opposite of T1.
sure, you can say "ooh, but `it was in the script.. the kid told the terminator NOT to kill people"
besides that fact that, why would a disfunctional high-school kid in the 90s ever say that; more likely, he would say "cool, let's go kill all the kids in school that i hate".
anyway,
sure, it's in the script. and that's what i have a problem with: it's a hollywood conformist script.
they put that in there because they HAD to put it in there, family fun film 'n all; they don't have the balls to do a R rated film with a hulking metal beast that doesn't talk but just kills.
T1 is a great film, because of the content. T2 might not be that bad on its own, but considering the content, and the fact that it insults T1, makes it to me almost as bad as the prequels.
2/10 - insulting
You do realize it still had one of those in T2...and every terminator movie actually.

nah, it's a feelgood story, while T1 was borderline horror.
looks like everyone is loving creed. will try to catch it after newyear's.
Why do you find that weird? It's a movie about a helpless female getting slowly stalked by a seemingly unstoppable superhuman killer. It's the same concept found in countless slasher movies, and while they took that concept in a science fiction direction, it doesn't completely negate the horror elements.lol da fuck?
