Lots of blood but less than the cartoonish Kill Bill...

Ever since Kill Bill I refuse to watch anything the guy produces. He is a waste of protoplasm with his never ending focus on violence, blood and guts.

I thought Django Unchained was fantastic. Over the top in a couple places, for sure. Christoph Waltz made the movie, for me. Good twists and turns, and very funny in places.

Watching his movies, cartoons are more believable. Seriously, I would love to have him make a movie I like. I like the guy's intentions. But his movies come across as over the top, completely incoherent efforts. Never made it through any "Kill Bill" movies.

I LOVE his movies and can't wait to see Django.


Vincent: Have you ever given a foot massage?
Jules: [scoffs] Don't be tellin' me about foot massages. I'm the foot ****in' master.
Vincent: Given a lot of 'em?
Jules: **** yeah. I got my technique down and everything, I don't be ticklin' or nothin'.
Vincent: Would you give a guy a foot massage?
[Jules gives Vincent a long look, realizing he's been set up]
Jules: F* ck you.


The Wolf: That's thirty minutes away. I'll be there in ten.

on Charlie Rose last Friday he (QT) said his favorite character line of all time was .."Let me tell you what....I'ma get medieval on your ass..."

I was also quite shocked that a movie named Kill Bill was violent...

I'm looking forward to this. QT has always produced "entertaining" movies.

The "Swiss Cheesing" of Hitlers head would be hard to beat.

No one does dialogue like Tarantino:

Butch: You okay?
Marsellus: Naw man. I'm pretty ****in' far from okay.
Butch: What now?
Marsellus: What now? Let me tell you what now. I'ma call a coupla hard, pipe-hittin' niggers, who'll go to work on the homes here with a pair of pliers and a blow torch. You hear me talkin', hillbilly boy? I ain't through with you by a damn sight. I'ma get medieval on your ass.

Spike Lee (who dissed Django) only wishes he could write like that.

I love QT! I will watch this film. Kill Bill was fantastic. The movie was like an over the top comic book. Blood gore exaggerated so it isn't even gross any more.

The D is silent.

I've been a big fan since seeing Reservoir Dogs debut in a theater Tarentino had to rent because he couldn't get anyone to show it.

Pulp Fiction was and is a great movie.

But the grindhouse films were weak and Inglourious *******s was total cr@p, IMO. And Django looks like more of the same. Someone said Tarentino no longer makes movies but now makes 2 hour trailers. Pass.

Interesting that QT likes that line so much. He admitted he stole the "pair of pliers and a blowtorch" line from the movie "Charley Varrick" with Walter Matthau.

I think most directors - probably all of them - pull from their personal favorite film history. The "problem" with Tarantino is his love of pop culture films means a much broader audience can identify his influences, at least those of a similar age to him (I've spoken to lots of people in their 20s who didn't know Thurman's outfit in Kill BIll 1 was a shout out to Bruce Lee's track suit in "Game of Death").

To dissect the other guys, you have to be much more of a film geek. Most people don't catch the references, the rest feel smug for knowing where they're from.
