As a huge Tarantino fan, I think that Pitt (in "Inglourious Basterds") and DiCaprio (in "Django") gave the two worst acting performances of his entire film catalog. Both over-acted, both over-did their accents, and both were simply distracting somehow, like they didn't fit in, maybe they didn't match their roles. Either way - I think QT got carried away with his ability to recruit A-List stars, and did that rather than searching for people who were most suitable for the characters.

Regardless, I will absolutely be at the theater to watch this one ASAP, and hope that Pitt and DiCaprio fare better this time around.

He's an overrated hack that makes the same movie over and over with ideas he stole from better films from the 1970s. I hope he hurries up with that 10th film so he retires.

Right! He needs to stop making movies you won’t watch. It’s offensive.

And those people who support it by watching and enjoying his movies?! I have no words...

I honestly don't understand what you are saying here.

But yeah, I personally wouldn't mind if he stops making movies because in my opinion, everything after Reservoir Dogs has been crap. After that, he realized he could just paint by numbers the same formula for every movie and people would still lap it up.

But you know what else? If he decides to keep making movies after number 10, I will still just continue to not watch them and point out how he is an overrated hack.

I'm not sure why you are offended that I would be happy if a director who makes movies that I think suck is going to retire. It's his decision, not mine.

extanker, I respect your differing opinion. But I'm curious about this formula you're referring to. Could you explain it? I feel that there is a lot of diversity between his movies, other than his numerous homages to older films (which you alluded to).
