Looks like Disney is getting its vengeance on Tarantino for his "feud" (is it really tho) with them. Once Upon a Time is releasing a week after Lion King, and all the best screens around me are gonna be still showing Lion King.
I'll still see OUAT in theaters but it woulda been cool in IMAX or Dolby.
Tarantino also getting heat from the usual woke crowd about how Margot Robbie (Sharon Tate) apparently doesn't have many lines, lol

There was also a TV series 2-3 years back with David Duchovny in it. Aquarius - I think it flopped, I only ever bothered to watch a couple of episodes myself and couldn't get into it.
But yeah Manson's been done to death. I'm not sure why really, he seems pretty boring as a subject to be honest. My folks said that the Tate/LaBianca murders were massive at the time cause of Polanski and the fact that they were brutal as hell, even though we lived in the UK it was worldwide news I guess.
As far as killers and cult leaders go there's more interesting stuff out there.

Yeah my parents were both 18 at the time. I think it was such a huge deal as it was the 60s and it was all hippies and stoners and counterculture etc and Manson was part of that.
Polanski was really famous at the time - Rosemary's Baby came out in 68 and that was a worldwide hit and snatched a couple of oscars.

Just got back. Movie is fucking long, clocking in at 2h40m. Not really a whole lot happens in the first two hours, if you don't worship Hollywood its mostly just goofy and uninteresting. Some nice recreations of that time period but nothing we haven't seen a bazillion times already, its Tarantino going hard at worshipping Hollywood. There is a great Bruce Lee scene but unfortunately its like 4 minutes and thats it, no more.
The last 30 minutes though is fantastic and worth a watch for any Tarantino fan. I'd still rate this probably bottom tier in my Tarantino list. The movie has very little to do with Charles Manson or Sharon Tate or Roman Polanski, its mostly Brad Pitt and Leonardo Dicaprio. Brad Pitt comes off as the real gem of the movie. him and Brandy.

re: ending
Up until the Manson crew started walking up the hill I didn't even think about "oh yeah, this is a Tarantino movie... he's gonna rewrite history". It was pretty awesome though and Brandy the dog is FUCKING AWESOME. Yeah, kill those goddamn hippies!!!
I know this movie is Tarantino's aesthetic and fine, but I really didn't give a shit at all about Dicaprio's character and the fact that we saw so little of Tate or Polanski was a bummer. Brad Pitt basically saved the movie.

honestly had no idea she was in the movie, oh wait she was probably one of the manson chicks right? gross and weird but not much in the movie
the movie does give off a "hippies are dirty, fucking stupid, and woke" i wonder how critics will take that
there's also no black people at all in the movie (one hot playboy bunny), a few mexicans playing mexicans in old westerns
