Overrated Movies (or "Why Does Everyone Like Tyler Durden?")

Quentin Tarantino as whole is HIGHLY overrated.

He's done only 4 movies and they are the farthest thing from original.

1- Reservoir Dogs = Main storyline copied from Ringo Lam's CITY ON FIRE
2- Pulp Fiction = 80% written by Roger Avary
3- Jackie Brown = Based on a book
4- Kill Bill = Bits and pieces from his 'favorite' Asian and Western Spaghetti movies

Don't get me wrong, they are still enjoyable movies, but stop treating him like he's some sort of genius. Plus the fact that he whore his name on every movie posters doesn't help.

Jam it back in, in the dark.

Your point was?

There's nowhere I can't reach.

My head seems just fine on my shoulders. What you missed to understand is that I never said they were 'bad' or 'wrong', I said people tend to forget those points and elevate him as a sort of genius who who wrote and 'imagined' every pieces in his four movies. Hence, he is overrated.

Not questionning if your head is at the right place, but rather, do you have one?

This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it.

Rent CITY ON FIRE; exact copy of Reservoir Dogs but it was made in the '80s and Tarantino never acknowledged that it was based on it.

Pulp Fiction, Avary never got mentions from any 'Pulp' fan that he wrote the piece.

You're gonna deny that?

I am a dolphin, do you want me on your body?

Influence and copy are two diferent things.

I was speaking idiomatically.

I wanna call you a retard, but I can't.



Wait, I just did.

FELIPE NO

Being stimulated and challenged intellectually by a movie is a bad thing by your standards? Is it hereditary?

What, you don't want my bikini-clad body?
