Overrated director. Another western, really Quentin?

Run with it dude. Its not like your fans are going to lose interest. We all go see movies even though we read the book. And I tell you, those changes to the books in the movies....100 percent not necessary. Just carry on as you were dude.

Oh, Well, I'm Soooo GLAD that he has gotten over his HISSIE fit, the world can continue now.

Not sure why this article exists. Headline gives indication that the contents should be about him calming down over his leaked film. Perhaps about what he's doing next. Instead it jumps all over with his filmography, general history and a lot of flashbacks to Pulp Fiction.

Not this has been again. Yawn.

I've never understood what people see in Tarantino's movies, or in the man himself for that matter. I sat through Pulp Fiction only because a friend had bought me the ticket. It didn't impress me; I found it consisted largely of gratuitous violence, as do all his movies.

I have only see one other Tarantino film - Jackie Brown - which I thought was OK, but only because the lead gave a truly stunning performance. I have never seen another of his movies and I probably never will.

Frankly, while his script writing is very good, I find his adolescent attraction to blood-letting at once offensive and absurd. He has all the subtlety of a high-speed train-wreck, both as a film-maker and, if the interviews I've seen are anything to go by, as a person; so do his films.

Like all mediocre directors, his one true talent is in choosing his actors. He has a knack of attracting people with real talent that effectively masks his own lack of it.

Howaitosan- respectfully, you should watch a few other of his movies. I'm not saying you'll like them, but having only seen Pulp Fiction and Jackie Brown it is easy to see why you "never understood what people see in Tarantino's movies"

Personally I wasn't a fan of the Kill Bills or Pulp Fiction- they were all right, just not my taste.

Jango Unchained and Crimson Tide (he worked as a writer here), however were good for me.

I sure hope you're not a fan of Kitano Takeshi or Kurosawa. They too glorified the violence that can be committed by the everyday man or woman gone gangster, if it comes to that. Personally, I find Tarentino to be hit or miss. His old stuff is legend, his new stuff is exactly what I said. But in any case, the man pays more tribute to famous action directors and actors than anyone on the stage, and that says a lot.
