Quentin Tarantino movies suck!

[radicalleft]

Change my mind

[zuul]

1. I don't particularly like them. Just not interested.

But I can’t say for sure that they suck.

[hlthe2b]

10. Ditto. Not my thing, but I am not judging the quality.

4. I love his movies, they are fun to watch!

Different in every way!

19. +1 I wish to associate myself with your comments.

5. 'Django Unchained' and 'Pulp Fiction'

The weird thing is, I normally don't care for really bloody or violent films. Maybe it's the acting, I don't know, but I really enjoyed those two films.

Well, and to be perfectly honest, I think the only other Tarantino film I've seen is 'From Dust Till Dawn', which is an 'ok' film.

[calguy]

6. I have to say.... the coolest thing about Quentin Tarantino....

is his name. Other than that, I have no interest.

[brush]

8. "Pulp Fiction" is one of my top 10 movies. "Django Unchained"...

and "Jackie Brown" are also excellent. IMO those are his top three. Your taste is your taste though. You like what you like. Not liking "Pulp Fiction" though causes me to question your judgment.

9. Concur!

Also quite like Reservoir Dogs (nt)

[brush]

12. Oh, I forgot about that one. One of his early films.

His gift for dialogue amazes me. It's like conversations I've participated in or overheard on the street or public transit.

He's got quite an ear, like a good writer's. Film makers/auteurs take the next step and turn what could be a good book or even short story into a film.

11. I agree. When the rootin tootin shoot-em-up starts, all I can think of is it looks like it was

written by a five year old boy. Kapow, you’re dead, you rotten crook! POW, POW, POW! Ow, you killed me! POW, POW!

13. I'm not a tremendous fan but Pulp Fiction was a pretty groundbreaking flic when it was released

I saw it in the theater while I was in college and I remember all the kids at the campustown theater cheering throughout in Champaign, IL. To watch it now its not nearly as startlingly different as it was at the time in the same way that Star Wars is much less awe inspiring in my opinion. Other directors pick up on movie themes and they become normative so we forget how groundbreaking they were in context.

14. Can't, I just don't like them either

[njhoneybadger]

15. I've heard he can really hold a grudge.

[Demovictory9]

25. he sure can. Not sharing any wealrh wirh his mom because of something she said when he was a kid

Tarantino’s Mom Reacts to Director Vowing Not to Share Money with Her: ‘I Support and Love Him’
Tarantino vowed not to give his mom a penny of his fortune after she yelled at him for writing scripts in school.


-----------

Tarantino said on the podcast that his mother had “a hard time” with his “scholastic non-ability,” so she wasn’t too happy with him when she found oue was spending time in class writing screenplays instead of paying attention to his teachers.

“She was bitching at me about that and then in the middle of her little tirade, she said, ‘Oh, and by the way, this little ‘writing career,’ with the finger quotes and everything. This little ‘writing career’ that you’re doing? That shit is fucking over,’” Tarantino said. “She meant you just can’t do that in class when you should be doing something else.”

Tarantino retaliated by making a promise to himself: “When she said that to me in that sarcastic way, I was in my head and I go, ‘OK, lady, when I become a successful writer, you will never see penny one from my success. There will be no house for you. There’s no vacation for you, no Elvis Cadillac for mommy. You get nothing. Because you said that.’”

When asked if Tarantino stuck to his vow, the director responded: “Yeah. Yeah. I helped her out with a jam with the IRS. But no house. No Cadillac, no house. There are consequences for your words as you deal with your children. Remember there are consequences for your sarcastic tone about what’s meaningful to them.”

16. You don't like movies.

That’s the only explanation.

His movies flat out rule.

Best director/screenwriter of our time.

Fight me. 🤛🏽👊🏽🤜🏽

17. "Once upon a Time in Hollywood"

I never used to care for his movies either. Then I watched "Once Upon a Time..." and that just blew me away. A twisting of history that was weirdly satisfying -- violence and all.

[Scrivener7]

21. I'll try it, but everyone said that about Pulp Fiction too.

[Xavier Breath]

23. I'm not a huge fan of his, but I did enjoy

Pulp Fiction, Inglorious Basterds and especially Once Upon a Time in Hollywood. It's dripping with nostalgia and fictionalizes a brutal chapter of Hollywood history and gives it a....well...Hollywood ending. Two thumbs up from me, fun family fare

[EmeraldCoaster]

18. Kill Bill

Volume 1 and 2 are two of the best movies ever made.
IMO

[Scrivener7]

20. Can't change your mind bc I agree with you.

[ismnotwasm]

22. I love Tarantino movies. Most of them

But, I dislike most movies. I get bored once I can predict the plot. I dislike most TV too. Also, boring or cringe. Like that GOT crap. Ugh.

I’m no judge though cause I do like really bad movies, old B movies, Gallo movies, a lot of horror. John Wick level of action movies

Tatantino’s comic book approach matches my sense of the ironic. Haven’t watched that latest one though.

24. You start liking Quentin Tarantino movies or I'll kick your ass.

. . . like them yet?

I did enjoy Jackie Brown and Reservoir Dogs. That could have something to do with when I saw them.

[TexasBushwhacker]

26. I like Pulp Fiction

but no matter what, I'll never be as big a fan of QT as he is of himself.

[Zorro]

27. True Romance is a really good film

Tarantino wrote the screenplay, but Tony Scott directed.

Lots of top drawer names in that film.

But yeah, that's the only one I like. I mostly dislike or really, really dislike (Reservoir Dogs) the rest of them.

[USALiberal]

28. Lol obviously it's your problem.

[radicalleft]

29. As compelling as some of these arguments are

I'm gonna have to pass...I jut can't
