Aside from Rick and Cliff, a bunch of side plots and scenes that barely go anywhere. For such a long movie, there still wasn't enough of Rick and Cliff particularly their last night getting drunk. The ending saved the film. Good acting and set design isn't enough for a good movie. Without Tarantino's name and the underlying Mansons' backstory, I bet this would be rated much lower. I'd rather just watch a 2.5 hr documentary on the Mansons...
