    In this household, Christmas Eve means Chinese takeout, a Quentin Tarantino film festival -- this year, Inglorious Basterds and Jackie Brown -- while making Xmas cheesecake, wrapping presents, and sipping boozy cocktails. Just like Jebus wanted it.

    Just rewatched JACKIE BROWN. Still great, but this time it really hit me - Max Cherry (Robert Forster) says he’s 56 in the movie. When I first saw it, that really registered as old. Now, just having turned 50 last year myself, I felt it way differently. I’m nearly in my Max Cherry years…

    As Elmore Leonard adaptations go, I prefer Out of Sight and Jackie Brown. But Get Shorty remains a delight. If you ever want to explain to someone what a movie star performance is, just show them the clip of Travolta walking up the restaurant steps to beat up Gandolfini.

    I think Tarantino would be up there if he did an adaptation every other movie rather than making a Tarantino thing seven times in a row. Jackie Brown is his best and it's because having source material restrained him.

    With the exception of Jackie Brown - which is a great movie - Tarantino isn’t for me. Just came back to Once Upon a Time.. after several years; I still think it’s terrific, almost JB’s level, a hilarious, bittersweet romance about the town & its limits.

    He cast Pam Grier in Jackie Brown. I don't know how much more referential you can be to the Blaxploitation genre than having her play the lead in that movie.

  • Justin Sherin @wychstreet.bsky.socialBluesky · Aug 11, 2026

    I think it's his second-best movie to JACKIE BROWN. JB is great because it's Elmore Leonard - not to knock Tarantino's part, Leonard said it was the best screenplay of his work, one of the best he'd ever read. And ONCE UPON A TIME.. is different because it's something he lived through. You feel it.
