hateful eight

The kids coined a useful new term to describe someone who is conspicuously trying to seem edgy, to shock. It was impossible to watch Hateful Eight without thinking that Tarantino has gone full-on edgelord.

I say this as a fan: it is puerile without counterpoint. Or any kind of point. It was three hours of "meh" punctuated by the occasional "Jesus H., Quentin." As a rule, if I'm thinking about the filmmaker during his film, both have failed.
