I don't think he's a hack. However, i do find his films predictable. When I watch a Tarantino movie I never forget that it's a Tarantino movie. That's good for some people but not necessarily my cup of tea.

I thought of basterds as a pitt movie the whole time i watched it. Somehow he dominated with that crappy accent.

Pitt seemed like both an homage and a parody of old war movie icons. It worked for me.

I thought Christoph Waltz was great in that flick.

Waltz owned Basterds. Phenomenal.
 
When is Tarantino going to make another movie based at least somewhat in reality again? Kill Bill, his part of Sin City, Death Proof, Inglorious Basterds, and Django are all fun, stylistic movies, but I liked his more grounded in reality movies - Reservoir Dogs, Pulp Fiction and Jackie Brown - better.

When he stops ripping off comic books for his content and storyboards.

The Making of Pulp Fiction

Long but great read for fans of the movie. Daniel Day Lewis as Vincent Vega? :lmao:

This is awesome

“I sort of was angry, pissed, tired,” Jackson recalls. He was also hungry, so he bought a take-out burger on his way to the studio, only to find nobody there to greet him. “When they came back, a line producer or somebody who was with them said, ‘I love your work, Mr. Fishburne,’ ” says Jackson. “It was like a slow burn. He doesn’t know who I am? I was kind of like, #### it. At that point I really didn’t care.”

“In comes Sam with a burger in his hand and a drink in the other hand and stinking like fast food,” says Richard Gladstein. “Me and Quentin and Lawrence were sitting on the couch, and he walked in and just started sipping that shake and biting that burger and looking at all of us. I was scared ####less. I thought that this guy was going to shoot a gun right through my head. His eyes were popping out of his head. And he just stole the part.” Lawrence Bender adds, “He was the guy you see in the movie. He said, ‘Do you think you’re going to give this part to somebody else? I’m going to blow you mother####ers away.’ ”

Quentin Tarantino Shelves ‘The Hateful Eight’ After Betrayal Results In Script Leak
Click to expand...
I spoke to someone inside CAA I trust, and they vehemently denied they could have been the source. They noted that a problem is that Tarantino possibly dispersed the script himself, without a watermark that usually prevents someone from secretly dispersing the screenplay. Because of that, this is an unsolvable breach.

If he only gave it to 3 actors/3 agents, Id actually probably say the bolded is the most likely scenario if thats true considering its QT. Plus he sounds more gung ho about this other script he has anyway.

He's a clown. I'm sure he released the script himself for publicity.

This is a bulletproof theory.

Considering he's suing Gawker over it, and can't stop talking about it, I would say he's behind his own "leak".

Or maybe he's just really pissed about it? What is he drumming up publicity for anyway, a movie that wouldn't be released for another two years?

 
He's not always great but I think it's fair enough to put him in the poor man's Sergio Leone class - he pays homage to prior motifs in excellent, professional and often humorous fashion.

Fantastic comparison, I never quite contextualized him that way but that is a brilliant comp.

And Leone is probably my favorite filmmaker.

 
Kill Bill: The Whole Bloody Affair will hit theaters in 2015

Tarantino has also confirmed that he is progressing with The Hateful Eight"

http://www.qtarantino-movies.com/news/quentin-tarantino-says-kill-bill-whole-bloody-affair-will-hit-theaters-2015/

Quentin Tarantino has been promising to release Kill Bill: The Whole Bloody Affair for years, and it might FINALLY be happening!

During an appearance at San Diego Comic-Con over the weekend, Tarantino revealed that he and The Weinstein Company have had discussions about releasing the film in theaters within the next year.

Whats going on with that is originally back when Kill Bill was going to be one movie, I wrote an even longer anime sequence. So you see in the movie [O-Ren] kill her boss but then there was that long hair guy The big sequence was her fighting that guy. I.G. [The Japanese Anime Studio] who did Ghost in the Shell said we cant do that and finish it in time for your thing. And [plus] you cant have a thirty-minute piece in your movie. I said okay. It was my favorite part but it was the part you could drop. So we dropped it and then later when I.G. heard we were talking about doing Kill Bill: The Whole Bloody Affair they still had the script so without even being commissioned, they just did it and paid for it themselves. Its really terrific. Anyway, The Weinstein Company and myself were talking about actually coming out with it sometime, not before the year is out, but within the next year with limited theatrical engagement as well.

Definitely going to see this in the theater again.

 
Just watched Kill Bill Vol I...so bad ###. This movie just gets better and better every time I watch it. Pulp is QTs masterpiece, but KB I is pretty damn awesome in its own right IMO.

I like KB but I can't see going to the theater for 4+ hours to see a movie I've seen a dozen times already.

The hotel fight is easily one of the best action sequences ever filmed.

Not to mention one of the best long takes ever:

I wonder how many previous takes were ruined by Charlie Brown dropping the bottles on his tray. :lol:

I realize you posted this two years ago, but he actually rips off Hong Kong cinema.

In a moment I truly regret and one of the more douchey things I've ever done, I talked #### and berated him about it during a night of drinking.
