Bad Times at the El Royale

first watched: when i was 15 on an international flight for a school trip, back of a delta seat screen

I first watched this on the same flight I first watched the Hangover I think (maybe just same trip, definitley watched Oh Hello on broadway on my phone on the way to europe). I haven't watched it terribly recently but I remember I liked that it was sort of a mystery with lots of characters (my dad called it the most tarantino movie he's ever seen that wasn't by tarantino, which deeply annoyed my teenage self who HATED quentin tarantino [COINCIDENTALLY i tried and failed to watch pulp fiction for the first time literally 4 hours before i went to the airport for the beginning of this trip]). I guess this movie is really about that one time I went to europe but i remember i liked it bc i REALLY like jeff bridges from all the times i watched RIPD, and bc i hate jon hamm and he dies early in this movie. Chris Hemsworth was the bad guy which I found very fun (liked him from thor ragnarok which i watched every 'thorsday' while i washed the dishes for like 2 months). Overall I remember it as a lighter tarantino-y movie that takes places in the 60s or 70s and one character was really sweet. I believe i cried the first time i watched it which may or may not be funny i don't remember the movie that well.
