Isn't Tarantino just freaking annoying?

[Banat]

I am sort of fan of his movies, but I could really do without those ear-cutting, eye-plucking, alive-burring and Zed-faggot scenes. I just bought a DVD of 'Reservoir Dogs' with a B version of the ear scene... The man is sick. I just don't see the point of all that - it's not even interesting.

[Sinclair]

The B version? Wuzzat?

He does seem to be a little obsessed with unpleasant things.

I loved Pulp Fiction. Everything is good in this film, dialogues, actors, scenario.

And I still love it. A hell of a movie. But Zed/Gimp scenes are still very creepy, although they have a neat ending :D

The B version? Wuzzat?

Three different shots were made for the ear scene. The first was the one that was in the movie: Mr Blonde approaches the cop, and camera slides left while he's cutting the cop's ear. In the second camera doesn't move, while in the third, which was named the 'B version' in this release, a very plastic close shot of the ear and the razor was taken. Disgusting.

His Kill Bill films were brilliant, except they are too overtly feminist for my tastes. The feminist and the multiculturalist 'message' of his films [which, by his own admissions, is what he intended] is what annoy me, nothing else.

[Excorcism]

I remember seeing Tarantino on David Letterman and he kept jumping around the place practically. Still. he's my favorite director because I love his owrk in Pulp Fiction and Reservoir Dogs, as well as Kill Bill. His work in Killing Zoe shows.

The man is sick.
Which is why I like him. His films, at their best, force you to confront the depraved nature of reality.

At their worst?
feminist and the multiculturalist

Anyway, were he not 'sick,' he'd just be slightly above mediocre.

David Lynch is my favorite director, Tarantino is a close second. The annoying thing with Tarantino is the same thing that annoys me about Tim Burton. The movie is either GREAT, or it totally sucks. There is no average with these guys.

I loved Blue Velvet and Mulholland Drive was pretty good.

I might have seen that... The only version I've seen is the "Special Edition" version, and it shows the earhole. Oogh.

Dammit, Tarantino turned down the Friday the 13th project! It would've been great to see what he would do with such a horror film; all the blood and gore. I can't wait to see his latest movie though. I forget what it's called.

He's great at making movies teenagers and sociopaths will spend money on. I enjoyed Pulp Fiction and Reservoir Dogs, because they were fairly decent comedies. I probably like one or two others by accident, since I don't usually care who the directors are.

Kill Bill sucked, both of them. I'm glad I just waited to see them on TV or over at somebody's house who likes to buy the latest in electronic gadgetry and rent stuff to play on the crap, as with just about 99% of all movies put out in the last 40 years or so.

"Reservoir Dogs" and, to a lesser extent, "Pulp Fiction," are good movies, but Tarantino is a douche. Hell, even "Jackie Brown" and the "Kill Bill" moves are OK.

[elbwgreez]

Tarantino films have just about nothing to do with reality, but they are fun. They are twists on cliches, based on tabloids and pulp novels.

"Reservoir Dogs" is a bastardization of the title "Le Terrible Enfants" (a title popular on VHS when he worked at a video store) based on the movie "City On Fire," an asian crime thriller no one had seen in the US.

Having seen both films, Reservoir Dogs is the superior film, aided by a good cast and an ingenious plot. Pulp Fiction is equally ingenious, but it was apparently engineered by his writing partner. Ever since he has been spinning wheels.

The basic problem he has is that he leans on old films and rarely injects reality into his scripts, plus it is much easier now to see who he is ripping off.

[Thorvald Eriksson]

Well he does have a foot fetish, so he can't be all that bad.

I find it pretty pointless too.

The term "gratuitous violence" is overused, but in his films it applies.

The cutting off of that guy's ear was a major plot point in "Reservoir Dogs." That scene not only was how he explained to us what kind of a fellow the guy cutting off the ear was (the other robbers describe him as a blood-thirsty, crazy maniac, but how he behaves when he thinks he's alone gives us a much more clear understanding of what a psycho he was, and the movie doesn't make as much sense as it needs to, if we don't understand that), but it also led to that guy's death. And for the most part, his films aren't particularly notable for having unusual levels of violence. Plenty of films have 20 times as much, and no other qualities to justify their existence. At least Tarantino makes somewhat good movies...and with a LOT less violence than plenty of the other dreck Hollywood produces.

I have no desire to see his latest, however.

You aren't kidding, this is hilarious, he doesn't hide it

There is feet obsession in almost all of his movies...

He's paying homage to Erich Von Stroheim, who was a serious female foot fetishist. The guy became unglued whenever they cut those scenes out of his movies.

In any case, Tarantino always seemed like he was just doing variations on a couple of Sam Peckinpah's flicks, like that one with Lee Marvin and Gene Hackman, I forget the name at the moment, Hackman played some Kansas organized crime leader named 'Marianne' or something. I liked that movie; the fat farm kid driving the hay cutter and chasing them was hilarious, too. Prime Cut I think it was. Reservoir Dogs has that same atmospheric style, to my mind.

[Empress Cheesatine]

Tarantino is a leftist freak. He went through a period where nigger-on-white female sex was prerequisite. I can't count the liberal "get racist whitey" themes in his movies, such as in Pulp Fiction.

[calvin]

I think his films are shit and he is an undignified, unmanly, ugly tosser.

Plus Jay Leno called, and he wants his chin back.
