Read an Exclusive Sword Fight Excerpt from Neal Stephenson's The Mongoliad: Book Three
https://www.wired.com/2013/02/mongoliad-book-three-excerpt/
The knight flopped onto his back, clawing at his helmet with his good hand. He was screaming and crying inside the metal cap; he couldn’t get a good look at what was wrong with his arm. He knew something was wrong, but the pain had to be so intense that his martial resolve had been swept away. He was like the butterfly, lying on the ground, struggling to fly but unable to understand why it couldn’t.
Lakshaman retrieved his other knife from the sand and knelt beside the downed knight. With a grunt, he shoved his blade through the eye slit of the man’s helmet. The man thrashed for a moment and then his limbs stilled.
I find inglorious bastards quite amusing in parts (love the early bit where the guy gives up the family under the floorboards) but it gets too hysterical and a bit unbelievable at the end.
And django has some great dialogue but is also just a bit too fucked up and you feel he's gone into an area that he actually doesn't know enough about.
Same for bastards actually. Whereas I think with Hollywood it's a similar idea to both of those, but he pulls it off in that particular story world.
I mean, he's obviously past his best, nknd of these are as good as Reservoir dogs or pulp fiction, but still, I can't remember having such a good cinema night for ages. Maybe only good time was memorable in same way.
I fell asleep during hateful 8, might have to rewatch.

woops
is not like other people
we must be watching for different reasons, IB is a masterpiece, which he emphasises in the closing scene. django is further exposition of mastery. doesn't have the same sense of cataclsm
starts repeating himself and spinning wheels after these 2. earlier films are just working up

My feeling is that MILD SPOILER with IB, Django and OUATITW he set out to right histories wrongs by having them happening differently in his films. A laudable aim perhaps, but not many people are gonna say "My grandfather was in a concentration camp but I feel a lot better about it now I've seen some Jews killing some motherfucking Nazis" - so what is the point? I liked the films fine, but I don't get the point.
