Spoiler Alert: Do not read if you have not yet watched “Episode 100,” the sixth episode of “American Horror Story: 1984.”
One hundred episodes is a big milestone in television these days, so kudos to “American Horror Story” for getting there. Also kudos for pulling out all the stops for this big episode — it definitely turned the construct of the season on its head.
“Episode 100” began a year later from the main events in “American Horror Story: 1984” — jumping to in 1985, where a woman in a hotel went banging on the door of a room with music blaring from inside (“Idol only plays one way — full throttle”). The Night Stalker aka Richard Ramirez (Zach Villa) answered the door and tried to drag her into the room, presumably to kill her, but Jingles (John Carroll Lynch) stopped him. Jingle told the Night Stalker he’s tired of being the sidekick and he can...

Quentin Tarantino has a career-defining choice to make when it comes to his final movie. The filmmaker reminded fans in July before the release of “Once Upon a Time in Hollywood” that he still plans on retiring after directing his next movie, leading to much speculation about what that final movie will be. Tarantino has put two projects on the table, an R-rated “Stark Trek” film and a third “Kill Bill” movie, and now a third contender has emerged. During an interview on his international “Hollywood” press tour (via The Independent), Tarantino let it slip that horror could be in his future.
“If I come up with a terrific horror film story, I will do that as my tenth film,” Tarantino said. “I love horror movies. I would love to do a horror film.”
While Tarantino has yet to make an all-out horror movie, he did mention that one sequence...

Quentin Tarantino has said several times that his tenth film will be his last. Personally, I don’t believe it. He loves making movies too much and there are a lot of stories that I’m sure that he wants to tell.
The Star Trek movie he’s developing for Paramount Pictures could end up being his tenth film, but he’s also not ruling out any other projects. In a recent interview, the filmmaker was asked if he would consider making his tenth film a horror movie, due to the horror elements that he incorporated in Once Upon a Time in Hollywood, and Tarantino responded with this:
"If I come up with a terrific horror film story, I will do that as my tenth movie. I love horror movies. I would love to do a horror film. And I do actually think that the Spahn Ranch sequence is the closest to a horror sequence,...

This post contains spoilers for Once Upon a Time in Hollywood, which is now in theaters.
Once Upon a Time In Hollywood, the latest epic from Quentin Tarantino, is not, as you may already know, a historically accurate depiction of the Manson Family murders. Given the director’s work, it’s not all that surprising; as evidenced by Inglorious Basterds and Django Unchained, revisiting historical atrocities and making sure the good guys win (and in as badass, comically violent a fashion as possible) is kind of his thing. In this vein,...

After the premiere, Quentin Tarantino is sweating on a balmy night under the stars at the sprawling “Once Upon a Time in Hollywood” afterparty at the Hollywood Roosevelt Hotel. The elegiac 1969 showbiz bromance about DiCaprio’s stressed-out aging western star and his zen stuntman/driver (Brad Pitt) opens at an anxious time for Hollywood.
Certainly, Sony chief Tom Rothman is worrying about his opening weekend numbers against holdover “The Lion King.” That’s partly because this is Tarantino’s widest release — 3,659 theaters, including 35 and 70mm — and his first in summer primetime. Experts predict an opening of anywhere from $25 million-$50 million, but what really matters is how long an original movie anchored by two global movie stars can sustain itself.
In his first film made without the patronage of Harvey Weinstein, Tarantino’s producers were longtime lieutenant Shannon McIntosh and David Heyman. He’d wanted to work with the “Harry Potter” producer on “The Hateful Eight,...

Has it really been less than a week since HBO dropped that wonderfully cryptic, Pink Floyd-scored Westworld teaser? It feels like several months have passed since then. Trailer-wise, it’s been a busy six days: We got an extended look at Quentin Tarantino’s latest, a teaser for the upcoming Star Trek: Tng spinoff, a peek at Linda Hamilton’s return to the Terminator franchise and yes, that aforementioned clip about the show HBO is betting the farm on now that Game of Thrones is over. Plus some previews of docs,...

‘Once Upon a Time in Hollywood’ Delivers a Mega Movie Star Bromance: Leonardo DiCaprio and Brad Pitt
Ascending the red carpet to the world premiere of Quentin Tarantino’s elegiac 1969 portrait of Los Angeles, “Once Upon a Time in Hollywood,” Brad Pitt and Leonardo DiCaprio looked like movie stars. That’s a commodity in short supply these days: stars who can open movies because fans want to see them.
At the film’s after-party on the roof of the Marriott Hotel, Brad Pitt admitted that he was seeing Quentin Tarantino’s movie for the first time. “The reaction was amazing,” he said. And Leonardo DiCaprio told me the film was Tarantino’s “homage to cinema, to the unrecognized people on the sidelines.”
There’s going to plenty of material for the eventual DVD extras, it seems, as Pitt and DiCaprio watched a movie that was missing some of their scenes, several of which Tarantino alluded to in the press conference on Wednesday, including a recreation of “The Great Escape” starring Dalton.

Quentin Tarantino has built a career out of celebrating movies by referencing his favorites, but with “Once Upon a Time in Hollywood,” he salutes the process of making them. America’s master of zippy dialogue and high-minded pastiche consolidates those skills into a sprawling vision of the film industry in 1969, but Tarantino’s infectious love letter doesn’t have much of a plot. Instead, the filmmaker’s weirdest movie merges pre-Manson Hollywood with the looming specter of hippiedom. The result is a lopsided cultural mashup as viewed through Tarantino’s exuberant cinematic filter.
It’s also content to hang out with history, take liberties with the details, and allow co-stars Leonard DiCaprio and Brad Pitt to unleash a pair of endearing performances. Tarantino’s desire to salute the creative thrill of storytelling is an inviting and welcome presence in American cinema; his ninth feature suggests he really ought to work more often.

Everyone always focused on Charlie, the cult leader, the “Helter Skelter” Svengali, the failed musician who had to settle for becoming one of history’s most famous modern representations of human evil. People wrote about him, or they wrote about “the family” as a single unit — the spokes that emanated out from his hub of batshit craziness. Sure, names like Tex Watson and Squeaky Fromme became well-known among folks who viewed serial killers as true-crime celebrities. But whenever most folks talked about the followers that did his bidding, it was...
