Is he "retiring", or simply not doing anymore "Tarantino movies"? I thought he was working on doing something in the Star Trek universe at some point.

EDIT: Nevermind, I counted wrong. I thought Hollywood was his tenth but apparently it's just his ninth (I guess they are combining Kill Bill 1 and 2 into just one feature), so I guess the Star Trek movie could be #10?

He's not directing anymore after 10. He has said he might just write books instead of screenplays. I doubt the Star Trek movie ever happens. He has been attached, or rumored to be attached, to all kinds of movies that never happened.

Oddly enough, I LOVE all QT's movies.. my fav is actually Jackie Brown.... except I cant stand Inglorious.


I wasnt a huge Jackie Brown fan. I gave it a second go to see if it would be better the second go round but it was just ok to me, not great.

IB I think is pretty underrated as far as his standards go. It seems to be the most polarizing as well, I dont think any of his movies get as much love it or hate it as IB.

It's not my favorite, I'd go with the Kill Bills, but it has two of the most tense scenes of any movie ever imo. The opening scene where they are hiding and the card room scene are amazingly done and Christopher waltz killed it. Adds up to a great movie to me.

Tarantino is so messed up.

The Once Upon a Time in Hollywood Trailer Makes a Chilling Secret Reference to Charles Manson
quote:

The clip, released Wednesday, kicks off with the jangling guitar and bass groove of “Straight Shooter,” a track by the group the Mamas and the Papas found on their 1966 debut.

At first listen, the song perfectly sums up the sunny L.A. scene before the specter of Manson and his followers cast a pall over the peace and love. But the soundtrack has a more sinister implication. When investigators combed through the living room where Sharon Tate lay dead at 10050 Cielo Drive on the morning after the murders, they found a grand piano mere feet from her body. Resting on the music stand was the sheet music for “Straight Shooter.”

It's the closet QT will ever get to a conventional film. At the end of the day it is a heist movie (like Reservoir Dogs), which is his comfort zone. Most of his films are derivations on the heist/escape genres (many with some element of revenge), and he just puts his take on the dialogue, which is what separates his films (and, say, Marty's) from his peers.

Any list that doesn’t start with Pulp Fiction is invalid. Maaybe I’d let you get away with Reservoir Dogs #1. This stinks of a millennial’s list.

Reservoir dogs.
Both bills.
Pulp fiction

Anything after those four is overrated and/or sluggish bullshite and that includes basterds. In fact eight was better than basterds.

It won't.

Lower your expectations and it'll be kinda fun.

Not since the Bills has a Quentin Tarantino movie lived up to the hype.

Agreed. Even if you didn't like Django, he must have never seen Death Proof.

First of all, your gif doesn't even correspond to your take, bc Jules was implying the coffee was fantastic. Makes me wonder if you even saw Pulp Fiction/understood it. You probably think it's told in linear fashion too.

Second, you don't know my age, and I doubt you even understand what proper age group the term "millenial" refers to.

Third, saying Pulp Fiction automatically has to be Tarantino's #1 film is like saying "Hey Jude" HAS to be the Beatle's best song. That take is stale and underdeveloped.

Fourth, while I love Reservoir Dogs, it has not aged well enough to be up there. It's poor production quality really takes away from the rest of the film as we move further into the 21st century. Everything else holds up tho - even a benign conversation about tipping or Madonna.

Fifth, Django happens to be my personal #1, but I think it's hard to argue against Inglourious Basterds being Tarantino's masterpiece. The tension. The dialogue. The acting. All of it combines for the epitome of what makes his films great. It's essentially 5 perfect film scenes - one after another. It's an impressive feat that even the director himself acknowledges is probably his finest work - evidenced by the last line of the movie.

There is no better way to spot someone with poor movie taste than "it was too long." I bet Breaking Bad is your GOAT TV show, isn't it?

Actually no.

Any episode that featured walt's family was a shitty episode.

And the movies aren't too long as much as individual scenes are too long. And for that reason, basterds was terrible.

That is literally the universally-praised attribute of the movie - the incredible tension that is built up over those gradual scenes ripe with pinpoint dialogue delivered in some of the finest performances of the last 10 years...and you're sitting there complaining the scenes were too long. That's your big takeaway from the film. AND the movie is "terrible" to you. Just, wow.

Thank you for proving my point, you neanderthal.
