•Filmmaker Magazinea fun interview with Arianne Phillips about her costumes forOnce Upon a Time in Hollywood
•ASC Magazineinterviews Robert Richardson on the cinematography ofOnce Upon a Time ...Hilariously,despite three Oscar wins,he doesn't think he's a very talented DP
•The Atlantica fascinating take on the movie from Caitlin Flanagan who points out -- and it's important contextually in the essay -- that she is from the same generation as Taraninto.I noticed this article was upsetting a lot of people on Twitter so I read it.The sentences that people are definitely up in arms about (Manson's "empowered women") are 100% satirical.But people have currently (and have always had) problems understanding satire.
•VultureAll the movies and TV shows referenced in the dense movie -- I noticed some of these but not all of 'em.
Stage (and a little screen)
•Playbillthe 10 most-produced plays and musical from high school drama departments currently -- it's a pretty depressing list (the musical portion that is) apart fromInto the WoodsandLittle Shop of Horrors.
•VarietyAlmost Famous(2000) is getting the stage musical treatment in London and has just announced its cast.Casey Likes who will play the lead is making his stage debut at just 17 years of age.
•PlaybillSixis coming to Broadway - it's a pop concert style musical about Henry VIII's wives.So we FINALLY have an original score musical coming this season (you'll remember that we were lamenting how dire the season is looking with less "original"new musicals than we've literally ever seen in our 19 years in NYC.)

"Ben Affleck erotic thriller"is a fresh new hell that I never could have imagined for myself.
Once Upon a Time is really bugging me,and it's been a long time since that has happened.While I was watching it I was mostly irritated and constantly doing mental eyerolls (Oh God,not another cue to "It's 1969,it's 1969,it's 1969,dammit!".But ever since,it's only the pleasurable aspects that remain in my mind,and it keeps getting better and better in my memory.I know the foot-fetish stuff and the ultraviolence will never go down well with me,but I can't wait for my next viewing!
Joe K - my god,that same summary meant that the film shot to No.1 on my Most Anticipated list...it's been too long since we got a good erotic thriller...PLEASE let Sharon Stone have a supporting role...

Laura Dern was running as Renata or as herself?
Wonder if Lyne will bring back window panes with water running down them.
How many selves does one person need,whatever Julianne's talking about I don't understand it.
Justice for the Erotic Thriller!!!!!--- miss them so much :(
Kermit- Brilliant idea for Sharon Stone!
Only humourless sorts are finding fault with OUATIA,as far as I can tell.Can we not just have an original film come out and not be inundated with boring hot takes from people born in 2002?Save all that for the Marvel crap.

Yes Luke,to hell with film criticism and any analytical discussions.We should all mindlessly love every auteur's work.
