"He makes really fun popcorn movies with bits of movie geek stuff sprinkled all over the place. You don't have to catch all his references to enjoy his movies. I can still watch it today and enjoy it — it's just fun!!!"
"people here actually believe django unchained and inglorious bastards are bad movies which is an opinion i could not imagine having amongst my bros. like we fucking love those movies and i just can't fathom being around someone on this sub who's like, lukewarm about them."
"Also Robert Eggers only got his big break in his early 30s. Tarantino was a nobody until he was in his mid 20s."
"She did the same thing for Quentin Tarantino and Christopher Nolan. Loved Kill Bill, not a fan of The Prestige."
"Yeah, I like Weerasethakul and Caveh and Parishov and Farhadi and Bonello and Chabrol and Linklater and Butterworth and Sokurov but you know what? I also like Tarantino, and both of those impulses can coexist. This sub thinks Inglorious Bastards and Django is a bad movie and I find that so fucking i"
"I think Tarantino's comments are stupid and clearly miss the whole point of the movie, but he is operating under a different framework of what movies are and what people in movies should be doing. He is interested in the iconic and grandiose, and Paul Dano is contrasting an iconic, grandiose person "
"Was supposed to begin shooting it this week and it was just announced he canned it"
"Now, obviously it's no Tarkovsky. It's no PTA. Christ, it's not even Tarantino. But it's genuinely pathetic how for all the money and raw manpower thrown in all these Disney-run franchises are coming up with worse results than the movies of yesteryear."
"She was such a redscare girlie and didn't even know it. She adored Patti Smith and Lou Reed, she put me on to Tarantino, she was utterly self-effacing and riddled with post-Catholic guilt and gave me my chainsmoking habit."
"It shouldn't be a surprise that Tarantino has 'wrong' opinions, he is a person with particular interests, who interacts with films in his own particular way. More directors and critics would sound this way if they were honest about their experience."
"all the books being written today seem to be chock full of references to other media rather than existing within itself as a stand-alone story. i blame marvel and tarantino."
"Obviously those videos aren't that serious, but that same lens is applied to everything in society. If you hum songs a lot, you have ADHD. If you like Tarantino, you're a film bro. If you sit weird in a chair, you're bisexual."
"even more auter type stuff like wes anderson, scorcese or tarantino has become more formuliac to just giving you another film in this guy's style"
"These thoughts are both a reflection on my viewing of Tár and about this recent interview with Tarantino where he claims this era of Hollywood is tied for the worst in history and the backlash that has come from it (Sounds just about WHITE for him to say this isn't it?)."
"Tarantino portrays Bill as something to be admired, in a worldly wise kind of way. Tarantino obviously aspired to be a guy like that. Not so different from Weinstein, or Epstein. Artists love to tell on themselves."
"Tarantino portrays Bill as something to be admired, in a worldly wise kind of way. He puts his dork ass comic book line in his mouth. Has him be the 'snake charmer' who the girls can't help but love, despite how he treats them. Tarantino obviously aspired to be a guy like that."
"He had a bad take on a podcast — literally Page Six gossip tier bullshit — and people are treating it like he committed a mortal sin"
