[Movie] Grindhouse

Here's my review: Rodriguez is awesome, and Quentin Tarantino is a retard that has done more to ruin film for me than any other director. I strongly suggest leaving after Planet Terror, unless you want to go on a killing spree. Death Proof is great for that, because if you're anything like me, you'll hate not only QT at the end of it, but humanity in general.

As much as I enjoyed Planet Terror, I'm actually partly glad this movie is flopping. QT needs to start failing at the box office bigtime, so the world finally sees him for the hyperactive cock rodent he is. Besides, what if these movies became mainstream? I'm not sure I want to see Peter Jackson doing a 4-hour epic Grindhouse movie...

so much rage

Jam it back in, in the dark.

Give some reasoning why you hate QT's style so much instead of whining like everyone else who doesn't like him. They never support their rage.

My main complaint is with his writing, specifically his fluffy "soundbite" dialogue, which represents to me the worst in mainstream movie bullshit. All his movies feel like they're just self-indulgent fluff. It's like when he writes a script he's just like "okay so here are two guys walking down a street and oh fuck it would be funny if vampires came out! and shit I got another awesome idea, shotgun cross, let's put that in right now! Okay time for some cheesy one-liners, oh wait maybe I can put in some strippers too!"

Movies that would've been cheap B-movie fare at best if done by anybody else suddenly become "tributes to the entire genre" or some shit when he makes them. (I'm thinking specifically of Kill Bill here.)

I probably wouldn't mind his movies as much if he wasn't so incredibly overrated, and he really thinks he's awesome himself which is just insufferable. But that's the way it is and that stuff shines through in his material. His movies make me sick.

Also, he stole Reservoir Dogs (my favourite movie by him, and the main reason I saw most of the others he did) scene by scene from a shitty Hong Kong movie, and never admitted to it. This is probably more the media's fault than QT's for being inane and not reporting this ridiculous shit, but if he'd just come clean, it would've helped at least a little bit. Not only is he an overrated hack, he's also an insincere cockmongler.

There's nowhere I can't reach.
