    Honestly, and I say this as a fan of the majority of his films, it can wait.

    Once Upon A Time In Hollywood literally bored me to sleep both times I tried to watch it in one sitting with no distractions. Hateful Eight was long but at least it was engaging the whole time because of the powderkeg situation. Once Upon A Time In Hollywood, even though it was obvious they were leading up to the Manson family stuff, it just didn’t have any underlying tension to sustain it, so with its 2 hour 41 minute runtime it just dragged and felt self-indulgent compared to his other works.

      I felt the exact opposite, OUATIH held my attention the whole time while Hateful Eight was a bit of a slog. I think I need to re-watch Hateful Eight though because I’ve been on a bit of a spaghetti western binge recently.
