Guys, sorry to burst you bubble and all, but Quentin has turned into the old Elvis. Yes men all around him, believing his own hype. Saw the interview with Robert Rodriguez when he promises a slasher movie at 200 mph, what he delivered was boring (apart from a brilliant Kurt Russel) with mostly average car chases.

If you want to learn how to do a car chase check out ‘Mad Max’ or ‘The Road Warrior’ as it was named in some countries.

The Kiwi Zoe can’t act to save herself, no matter how brilliant Tarantino thinks she is, and her wiggling around on the car bonnet was piss poor over-acting.

And if you’re gonna have a horny chick do a lap dance, leave the pot-belly at home thanks.

I am a HUGE Tarantino fan, LOVE most his stuff, but this left me cold. What the hell is he doing, is it all downhill from here???

p.s. Robert Rodriguez’s Planet Terror shames Tarantino’s job on this one.

Fin you have no idea how “open” any of our eyes or minds are. For all you know he might have seen 10 times the films you have and have a greater barometer of good and bad than you.

I would argue Tarantino is original. He’s taken a very kitschy concept and time period and extracted all that was good out of it and forged his own style and technique that everyone has coined as Tarantino-esque rather than exploitation-esque or 70’s-esque.

I never said he was original. The end of my last paragraph in part one explains that he isn’t. But just because you’re not original, doesn’t mean you’re not good.

“And whoever says Tarantino sucks, I will go so far as to say that you are tasteless.” This, of course, is the pot calling the kettle black. While QT doesn’t “suck” he isn’t very original either. Watch more good movies, open your eyes and mind.

You heared about QT in 2004 for the first time? Wow. Can I ask that when were you born?

I feel like most people could only watch Death Proof when they are in the mood too. Even though I accept your opinion, I don’t agree with it. Not only does Death Proof show Tarantino at his finest, but why we love Tarantino to begin with. DP had everything Tarantino does.

Tarantino doesn’t suck but he has been a lot better then Death Proof. The first half is as boring as you can get, so much so that the second almost doesn’t make up for it. It was a ok movie, that I would only see once.
