QUENTIN Tarantino wants you to know that the only way to fully appreciate his new movie is to see it under a combination of conditions that hasn't been used in nearly 50 years. Anything less and you are not truly a connoisseur of film.
He asserts that you must watch the Western The Hateful Eight at a 70mm "roadshow" screening. Is this a marketing stunt? Or just the whimsical demands of a self-indulgent auteur? After all, very few cinemas are capable of projecting 70mm film anymore, having made the switch to digital. More importantly, if you ask a typical person what 70mm means, they'll most likely shrug and get back to whatever television show they're watching.
