Tarantino
Im with Dr Kermode on this one, everyone raves on about his films, but no, honestly, they are at the best average and at worst shambling ego driven monstrosities of utter wank.

For example Reservior Dogs. A more boring Heist movie I have yet to see, ooh a man bleeds to death all film, ooh someone bitches about not tipping, ooh an ear gets cut off. thats it folks, film inna can.

Kill Bill 1 & 2. Just watch the Beat Teakeshi film Zatoichi instead please, or any of the pre-hollywood Jet li films, even if they are hilariously plotless, still better than this tosh. Homage? tripe is closer im afraid.

Pulp Fiction. rubbish rubbish rubbish, again I was sooo disappointed by this film its staggering.

Agreed
All his stuff just seem like vanity projects.

I do like Pulp Fiction
it's a no-brain film with some good lines

not much more to it than that

@Monkey

Agreed
I made the mistake of watching that Kurt Russell one with a car and some birds.

It is so bad I have deliberately forgotten it's name.

Yeah...
Deathproof...

The car was wicked, everything else about that film sucked, hard.

@kaol
actually, i would do danny trejo, i have a lot of respect for him. anyone who can drag themselves out of both the gutter and prison, work hard and become a famous actor, deserves a bit of respect.
i did mean george clooney, though.

Tarantino
didn't do Dusk till Dawn, it's a Robert Rodriguez film.

Pulp Fiction is one of my favourite movies
But I agree that Reservoir Dogs is a steaming pile of horse shit. It's lasting legacy seems to be getting Steelers Wheel's 'Stuck in the Middle With You' plonked on just about every compliation CD of jukebox classics.

I've thoroughly liked all his films that I've seen
and for different reasons, so I don't think it's just "This is meant to be good so I'll enjoy it" syndrome.

I think the way he paces his films is unusual and I really like it, but I know a few people who really hate them because they feel they drag on needlessly.

I guess he's something of a love-him-or-hate-him director.

I've liked his films
But people try to read too much into them or expect too much out of them. Deathproof was just some cool dialog with an awesome car chase to finish it off. What more do you want? Storyline? Cock off!
