Hot take: Quentin Tarantino is the most overrated living director. His only good movies were Jackie Brown and Pulp Fiction. Everything else is a parody of itself (not in a good way) because he just takes scenes from other movies, mashes them together in a nonlinear story, then has everyone die because he doesn't know how to write an ending to the incoherent plot he's spliced together from better filmmakers.

I also suspect he was buddy-buddy with Harvey Weinstein but managed to slip under the radar because he avoids talking about his personal life.

not really a hot take. he is a technically proficient slop merchant, makes some enjoyable movies but it's laughable when he comes up in the conversation for best american director. Kubrick imo is basically untouchable in that department.

What about his camera angles?

[-] peppersky@hexbear.net 13 points 2 weeks ago

it sure is quite something when you watch lady snowblood and realize that tarantino actually means "stealing" when he says "stealing" and that the originals always have a coolness to them tarantino couldn't even dream of

Lady Snowblood

The Japanese manga by the guy who made Lone Wolf and cub

Tarantino fully stole it? You mean Kill Bill right ?

I believe he was talking about the film from 1973, which Kill Bill heavily homages (or rips off, depending on how charitable you're feeling) but shit, I never knew Lady Snowblood was originally a manga.

yes

Lady Snowblood is originally a manga ,the manga ended the same year the Japanese movie was aired

only thing i like about QT films is the dialogue, characters interact as normal human beings instead of comically stylized dialogue that every damn film does. his dialogue is a breath of fresh air, but damn do i despise the hyper violence that his films have.
