I find some of his films entertaining but some of his others quite dull. and yes, he rips other directors off but who doesn't steal in Hollywood? Lucas did it, hell, even Jim Jarmusch ripped off Suzuki Seijun for his Ghost Dog movie, the most overrated piece of garbage ever to grace the big screen. different strokes for different folks.
May I begin by asking how much time do you spend online? My suggestion to you is to network with people and ask them about tarantino. If we were a primitive society he would be our god. He would beat bill clinton in a popularity poll by an amazing margin. And I concur on Ghost Dog, it was a ghostly piece of doggy poo, but his other stuff is pretty good and quite innovative.
And yes, it may be an elitist attitude, but its fudging irritating to have some try to carry on a conversation with you about asian cinema when they have no idea what its even about. There are some things better left to be discovered on their own, not exposed to a nation of idiots by a director. Asian cinema is one of them.
Jeez, I'm getting into a lot of disagreements on here lately. First cheese then this. Sigh.
You people have held me back long enough, I'm going to clown college!
That's it! You people have stood in my way long enough! I'm going to clown college!
