I actually think that Hateful Eight was a better movie than Ingluorious or Django Unchained for the simple reason that it didn't really have a story to get in the way. At least bad storytelling was left out of the picture, is what I'm trying to say, I guess. You would love a scene in Hateful when, after an intermission, Tarantino uses himself as a narrator to tell the audience an important plot point that's about to happen five minutes from now. Even for him, it was over the top. It's a shame that his ego has taken over as the main driver of his movies. I liked his first four movies (considering Kill Bill one film). Now I feel kind of sad when I watch them.
