‘Once Upon a Time …’ both does and doesn’t behave the way you might expect a Quentin Tarantino picture to behave, writes JustinCChang
Brad Pitt and Leonardo DiCaprio in Quentin Tarantino's movie"Once Upon a Time ... in Hollywood." from the 72nd annual Cannes Film Festival, which runs May 14-25 in France.
Like Tarantino’s 2009 picture, “Inglourious Basterds,” “Once Upon a Time … in Hollywood” is both a luxuriant, sometimes lumbering ode to a bygone era of moviemaking and a singularly bold reinterpretation of a violent chapter of history. The title is practically a spoiler in itself: We are not just in the dream factory, but also within the realm of fantasy.
It would be a hoot to watch these stars in boozy, cigarette-chomping buddy-comedy mode even if they weren’t tethered to such a loving and persuasive re-creation of the movie industry at the time. Fans of the era may be reminded of legendary actor-stuntman pairings such as Burt Reynolds and Hal Needham, and some will supply their own real-life reference points for Rick and Cliff’s work, even if they are unable to match Tarantino’s characteristically obsessive scholarship.

Callaway 9 Iron Once Again Named Golf Digest’s Best Club For Smashing In Cheating Ex’s WindshieldDES MOINES, IA–After exhaustive testing of nearly every style and design on the market, the Callaway 9 Iron was once again named by Golf Digest on Monday the best golf club for smashing in the windshield of a cheating ex. “Factoring in qualities like shatter radius, overhead swing speed, and shock absorption, the Callaway 9 Iron continues to set itself apart as the ideal club to batter the windshield of an unfaithful former lover,” read the highly anticipated study conducted annually for the world’s wronged partners seeking even just the slightest edge to their windshield smashing abilities. “The lightweight shaft and mid-sized clubface offer superior control and force of impact that few competitors can match. Whether the adulterous old flame’s car is parked, moving forward, or skidding away in reverse, no club is better suited to puncture and destroy their windshield than the Callaway 9 Iron.” The magazine’s study also found the Ping Vault to be the best putter for children to pretend to use as a cane while walking around the driveway.
