I had the pleasure to see this film in its 70mm Roadshow glory in an original 1960s Cinemascope theater, a great experience. I really enjoyed the rythm and the cinematography of the film. My question now, will Hatefull Eight's Roadshow version ever be released on Blu-ray? As far as I know, only the theatrical cut is available.
I suppose, Tarantino wants this version to be the nostaligic cinema spectacle that shouldn't be diminished through small home screens. Alas.

Also saw the roadshow version. Having an interval was a revelation! With everyone buying drinks/food at half time I can't believe cinemas haven't been clamouring to bring this back. The 70mm made the vista's in the first 3rd of the film glorious but I was a bit disappointed to find out the vast majority of the movie takes place in a small cabin so a bit wasted. What else was in the roadshow version? I remember a long music intro but not much else?
My wife saw it at home only and loved it as much as I did so I don't think home viewers are missing out too much

Yes I've only seen it on my flat screen at home, but it's still in my top 10.

I didn't watch it because I was just so tired of Tarantino's extended dialogue scenes.
Am I missing out on a superb film, here?

the normal theatrical version was a bit tedious to be honest... better than your average movie, but far from Reservoir Dogs. Pulp Fiction or Jackie Brown...

Like Inglorious Basterds and Django: I enjoyed them, but the slow, tedious dialogue in scenes is so boring, at times.

I'm very jealous. What you experienced are things that used to be common before major movie releases that all but ended after the late 1970's. The middle break is called an intermission and the musical piece before the movie begins is called an overture. In fact, Star Trek: The Motion Picture (1979) was the last major motion picture that had an overture. And yes, I very much miss them.
The problem is that they eat into the time that the theater could be using for additional showings. Now, movie makers and theater owners want movies to be around two hours or less so they can pack as many showings into a day as possible. That leaves no time for intermissions or overtures.

SPOILER Actually Kurt Russell was awesome in it if you don't get upset by fictional woman beating. He was great at punching out Domagoo and saying 'shut up bitch'. He did something so horrible in such a funny way, IMO.

I finally saw it, last night. It was good.
I liked the mystery aspect of it, which I don't recall Tarantino doing in a previous film.

Not if Tarantino's style is not your thing. It's the same style as his other one's....all that dialogue and such.

Glad you finally saw it, and that you surprisingly seem to be upbeat about it. I was concerned when see your first post where you brought up not caring for lengthy dialogue scenes that Tarantino is known for. Only film I had issue with the dialogue droning on that bored me to tears was Death Proof.
My only issue with the film was I found it predictable, but this is more of a personal issue that might not be emulated by many others.
I do wish I had the opportunity to see it in 70mm, but I couldn't get to the only Toronto cinema showing it (I didn't even get to it on the big screen sadly).

I guess my typical complaints for Tarantino films fell to the wayside, as I was wrapped up in the "Agatha Christie / Alfred Hitchcock whodunnit" aspect of the plot.
I always love the Ten Little Indians mysteries. Like Clue!

Unlike some of his other films, I felt like the dialogue moved right along and in fact made the movie not seem as long as it was. In a good way!

Not in my opinion. I watched it on Netflix the other day and, yes, it was a Tarantino film all right. Lots of talking, cursing, exposition, and violence. Just ridiculous, over-the-top gore. It feels very much like every other Tarantino movie.
I must say that I wish I'd seen it in 70mm. On my small screen I'd be challenged to explain why Tarantino used such a wide format when he used it so poorly. The exteriors were few and far between, and rarely epic. And he used a ton of medium shots when 70mm practically screams for extreme close-ups or wide-angle tracking shots.
I really wish he'd vary his style a little and try subtlety just once.

Ditto. It was still Tarantino, but I didn't think the dialogue was overly drawn out as it is in some of his other films. In Pulp Fiction I thought it was over the top in many places. Like when they called for the cleaner to get their car cleaned up before the wife got home. I wonder if he is stoned when he writes these dialogues. It seems like he loses track of time.
Anyway, I thought hateful eight moved right along for a Tarantino film. Most of it seemed very natural, like real life conversation.
And I didn't feel like he was telegraphing the plot. I knew nothing about this story and was sufficiently surprised by the plot twists. I liked this film better than most I've seen recently.

You didn't miss much not seeing it in theatre... it's not particularly cinematic.... For example Resevoir Dogs is more cinematic and most of that movie is in a couple of rooms...
