re: Tarantino's next, Django Unchained, to film in New Orleans

Tarantino, IMO, is the most overrated director in the history of film.

While Tarantino may certainly be overrated in some sense, this statement:

quote:

---

I cannot name a single good movie he has directed.

may be the most astounding sack of bullshite I have ever heard. By all means, defend that statement against Reservoir Dogs, Pulp Fiction, and Inglorious Bastards.

You are mistaken. One, I don't own a thesaurus. Reading stimulates and educates. I read a lot. My above average vocabulary is a product of my reading. Two, my posts are hardly outrageous. I state my opinion without apologies, which may come across as pompous, only when it is disagreeable to your own opinion. I usually defend my positions, and that is usually what angers people because they come to realize that my opinions, initially thought to be outrageous, are, in fact, supported by evidence, whereas, often is the case, their own opinions have no such support structures.

I invite you to enter a dialogue on movie criticism rather than TulaneLSU criticism.

it comes across as pompous because you post in absolutes.

also, what "evidence" do you back your opinions with? this is a subjective argument.

Good for NOLA, but Tarantino will continue to be the In-N-Out of Hollywood: predictable but profane, polysemous and perfunctory, stolid yet sentimental, malapropos and monomaniacal for gore, and grossly overrated by people think themselves experts in the field.
