We had some extra time on our hands last night and it just worked out that we were near a theater and ten minutes from the start of the new Tarantino movie, Once Upon A Time in Hollywood. I knew nothing about the movie nor its all-star cast (Pitt, Di Caprio, Pacino, Bruce Dern, Kurt Russell). There is also a mind-bending appearance by a dead-on doppelganger playing the King of Cool!
Anyways, it's a period piece - 1969 to be exact. And like Inglorious Basterds, it an alternate take on events that happened in LA at the end of the 60's. The acting is just fantastic, the story so-so, but oh my God the CARS!!! The film is a love letter to old LA, and LA, of course, is a car town. SO many excellent cars - MG's, AH's, E-type Jag etc etc. I looked VERY hard at the street scenes and I'd be damned if I could find a single vehicle out of place and time. Even the RTD buses were correct.
And the P-Cars - I missed the first couple, but I think I counted a total of 3 early 911's (the first was a Targa in the parking lot of Musso & Frank - polo red I think). I know I might have been pushing it a bit, but about half way through I couldn't resist taking a few of stills:
Somebody has an
amazing eye for detail!
