I haven't read through all the comments, but I'd like to mention a quite lovely, understated observation of Sharon Tate's character in the film. Tarantino's foot thing aside, lol, the scene in the cinema when Sharon had her boots off and feet up on the back of the seat said so much about who she was. A free spirit - part of the zeitgeist of the era every bit as much as 'Pussycat', similarly reposed with her feet up on Cliff's dashboard. What's immediately disturbing about Pussycat is the way she screams "pigs!" aggressively at people she doesn't know. A labelling/dehumanising attitude that foreshadowed the (real-life) murders. The word "pigs", written in blood on Sharon Tate's door after the murders, was in wide circulation at the time if I'm not mistaken. At the same time, Bernadette Dohrn and Bill Ayers of the Weathermen were exhorting their followers to "kill pigs". A fringe element of the counterculture for sure, but one that makes the Manson murders a symptom, rather than an aberration of the times. Superficial and trashy this movie this movie is not (for me anyway)
No, he wasn’t. This idea seems far fetched (and you mean Rick unless you mean he’s working for himself).
An observant friend mentioned the Spahn Ranch scenes reminded him of Hitchcock’s “The Birds”, with the ever-increasing Mansonites appearing. Yeah, I can see it.
Cliff could take anybody except maybe Godzilla...I don't know how Cliff vs Godzilla would turn out, maybe it's in the uncut version
Wonder how soon. Unlikely they release the 4-hour version before 2019 is out, or before the Oscars in February. Next spring or summer at the earliest, I'd guess.
This is my favorite Dalton poster of the bunch, and it gets seen momentarily in the house during the battle scene when the fighting spills into one of the adjacent rooms.
And the other view is that it is part brilliant, part awful, the awful being the “unforgivable” Bruce Lee scene.

Another thumps up here on the soundtrack CD. It arrived about 10 days ago and I wasn't really motivated to listen to it until yesterday. Wow, the power of music. It immediately brought back images of the film more so than any soundtrack I've listened to. As it plays you envision each progressing scene from the movie. It's like a 74 minute 1969 radio broadcast. Some points: Worth the price of admission: Jose Feliciano's "California Dreamin". Some songs are lo-fi AM radio quality for atmosphere. This soundtrack definitely continues the OUATIH vibe. Bummer: It doesn't include Twelve Thirty, and to a lesser degree Straight Shooter from the trailer. I almost didn't buy this because of the omission but I would have missed out on a otherwise great soundtrack. I would like to see OUATIH get the Super Deluxe treatment, maybe a limited addition. With the theatrical version, the four hour version, a complete soundtrack, and a book loaded with photos, and maybe a poster. I would be a buyer.
