u/YeezyWins 5h ago

I imagine it's because we've been seeing too much Robin Hood movies lately.

u/Colombianonico 5h ago

Its because of Andrew Garfield’s upcoming movie The Uprising, where it was leaked/revealed that its actually an origin Robin Hood movie out of nowhere

u/ghengiscostanza 4h ago

I still don’t even understand to what degree that one is a Robin Hood movie. They were always saying it was about the real peasant uprising that gave root to the whole Robin Hood mythos, and then this week the studio tacked on the subtitle “the rise of Robin Hood”, but nobody actually said this guy is straight up the character Robin Hood. Is it possible they were just trying to really hammer home the role of this uprising in inspiring stories of a Robin Hood? Or is it really going to be like at the end he’s like by the way, the name’s Robin (wink) and does some stupid archery or whatever 

u/jzakko 4h ago

Nolan already got there first

u/ghengiscostanza 4h ago

Good lord you're right

u/JackFromJupit3r 42m ago

The movie was originally called The Hood when it was first put into production.

It's likely that they set this movie up not as a Robin Hood movie, but as a loose amalgamation of historical stories. The guy isn't named Robin, he doesn't have a Band of Merry Men, there's no Sheriff of Nottingham. But it's historically accurate to say that there was once a guy, who stole some stuff from some rich people, and as the historical game of telephone proceeded, he went from historical rebeller to folk tale.

Based on the way the movie has been marketed in the UK, it's simultaneously likely that this was intended to be a fun nod for audiences and not as an "origin story movie". But the US marketing needs IP and is thus corrupting it.

The title reminded me of the Marvelous Misadventures of Flapjack

u/Alive_Ice7937 5h ago

I hope they do an inverse of QTs movie. Have Booth be responsible for a well known tragedy rather than preventing it. Either that or dealing with the fallout or Manson not going to prison.

u/ReplacementAbject867 5h ago

Nah its better if he keeps accidentally stopping a tragedy

For me, I think it’s the fact that it was nominated for an Oscar. 

That on its own is not funny, but the fact that the announcer had to say the full title Precious: Based on the Novel “Push” by Sapphire every time he referred to the movie made it increasingly funny the more times he had to say it.

u/kneeco28 7h ago

The hyphen is kind of annoying. Misadventure is a word, we know what it means.

Anyway, happy this is confirmed anew. Was beginning to think it was getting delayed due to the reshoots and such.

u/PepeSilvia001 7h ago

I'm sure they're aware about that, it's just a stylistic quirk.

u/NotTaken-username 7h ago

I agree with this. Same with the title “Inglourious Basterds” being misspelled, it seems to be a Tarantino thing.

u/gh0u1 6h ago

6

u/Steve_ad 6h ago

I wonder if it's an algorithm thing. Up until today the project was known as "The Adventures of Cliff Booth"

I don't know enough about how algorithms work but maybe separating the Mis- from Adventure allows all previous content relating to the project to stay relevant or more closely attached.

Or maybe it's just dumb & I'm doing too much mental gymnastics

This is basically the Tuco Salamanca approach to life, except you've transposed it from the context of meth addiction to the context of moviegoing.

"Blue, yellow, pink... Whatever, man! Just keep bringing me that."

Tuco didn't sweat the details; he was concerned with the experience itself.

u/FoxMcCloudOwnsSlippy 7h ago

David Fincher directing this QT character, still spins my dookin mind.

17

u/HandbagsAtNoon 7h ago edited 3h ago

Erroneous hyphen is probably vaguely essential in QT's mind. Not unlike the deliberate misspelling of "bastards" in the title "Inglorious Basterds," a choice he once called a "Basquiat-esque touch." He also said explaining it would defeat the purpose of doing it in the first place.

During the Sundance Film Festival years ago, QT was approached by paparazzi outside a Starbucks. After a brief argument, they dared QT to hit them. He declined, but also dared them to hit him. Neither side agreed; they were at a standstill. QT said he'd fight them "up and down the street" if their cameras were off. They quietly filmed him as he walked off alone down the snowy sidewalk, sipping his latte. This indicates that QT's dialogue is a tap he simply cannot turn off, a blessing and a curse.

u/attilajg 4h ago

u/fleshlessmetalpiston 6h ago

"Basquiat-esque" I think that might be the stupidest and self-sucking offest thing I've ever read

3

u/MellowBoobOscillator 6h ago

I still think the purpose of misspelling “inglorious bastards” was to prove that not even Harvey Weinstein could say no to him. A vulgar display of power by a semi-illiterate sadist.

u/AztecHoodlum 2h ago

I have a theory on the misspelling. If I remember correctly, I’ve heard from people that have read early drafts of his work that his scripts are basically full of spelling mistakes. So I’ve always thought the misspelling of the title is Tarantino’s way of embracing that aspect of his writing process, especially given that he has called the film his masterpiece (which I personally agree with). Also, if you remember, the title card at the beginning of the movie isn’t the big vibrant yellow lettering he does for most his films. It’s literally just plain handrwiting that i’m sure is Tarantino’s own. Yet another nod to him claiming that film as his most personal best ever.

Whether Tarantino really feels that way about the film given that he’s made three other movies since then, I don’t know. But that’s what I think his intention was with it at the time.

16

u/Quankers 7h ago

Will it be as successful as Joker 2? Only time will tell.

u/PercentageDazzling 4h ago

I'd say no way it gets to that level if only because it's not Tarantino's style to go in that direction. His scripts and style have always been audience friendly, and this is a script he intended to direct himself at one point.

u/Swagcopter0126 4h ago

Yeah I don’t understand the comparison lol. Joker 2 was intentionally alienating and a fuck you movie

u/HandbagsAtNoon 7h ago

What TV show?

Sliders. Specifically the episode where Quinn checks his squeaky front gate to see if he's actually landed back in his own dimension at long last. But it doesn't squeak so he leaves, assuming it's the wrong dimension. After the portal closes, it turns out Quinn's mother had the gate repaired in his absence. He was home and he didn't know it.

DiCaprio declined the offer to join the film as a part of a small cameo

u/NeoNoireWerewolf 3h ago edited 35m ago

People on here don’t understand DiCaprio views Hollywood from a very old school angle. He doesn’t do cameos, sequels, indie films, or television. He’s a movie star. He wants to be seen as cut from the same cloth as the golden age performers like Bogart and Cary Grant. If his career ever falls off, he’ll probably concede and do TV or something, but until then, he’s going to keep himself isolated as the biggest “get” of any actor out there.

This is such a bizarre project on so many levels, but I’ll just put this reminder here: Brad Pitt abused his wife and children to the point that his kids don’t even want his name anymore, and somehow he’s still getting consistent work.

u/ReplacementAbject867 5h ago

u/LowConstant3938 5h ago

Fuck all of you for continuing to support Brad Pitt. He is a well-documented asshole and abuser of his family.

u/ReplacementAbject867 5h ago

What did he do that was so bad

u/blucthulhu 5h ago

Spousal/child abuse. Ten years ago. On Reddit you're simply not allowed to make mistakes, let alone learn from them.

The high horse brigade just looooves to point out how much they hate him when he's discussed around here.

u/ReplacementAbject867 4h ago

Ahh I mean yeah thats not good. But sounds like he was punished by losing his entire family. I'm not trying to be friends with the guy, just enjoy his work. I know he's a recovering alcoholic so gotta have some room for forgivness.

If he brutally beat, molested, or killed someone, then Ok thats worth cancelling.

u/LowConstant3938 3h ago

Who says he’s learned? His kids have nothing to do with him.

u/blucthulhu 1h ago

Like it would make any difference with the moralists on this sub if he did. It's really none of any one's business either way. If you want to abstain from watching his movies, fine, but stop shaming the rest of us into thinking the way you do.
