    He rewrote the templates for comedy, crime and action in the early '90s when Hollywood had trouble replacing A-list stars from the '80s and minority-centric, comic book or Stiller / Farrelly brothers type films weren't yet fully marketable.

    The truly brilliant part about Tarantino's films is the way that all of them are tied together in the same universe.

    If you want real cinematic masterpiece, check out M.Night.Shyamalamamailman's movies.

    I really enjoy Inglorious Basterdz. I believe it is on par with Pulp and Resviour dogs.


    Lt. Aldo Raine is ****ing hilarious. and Waltz as the jew hunter was amazing.

    I like his movies. I think Reservoir Dogs is one of the greatest homosexual love stories ever.

    Top Gun is the greatest homosexual love story of all time.

    I agree with this. I think he's an extremely gifted storyteller that likes operatically pulpy storytelling. In some movies he pulls it off better than others, but everything he's made is entertaining.

    Yes indeed.. So I went and saw the Kill Bill double feature at the Alamo Drafthouse last night and the movie is a lot better than I remembered... It's kind of an epic film in retrospective and Uma Thurman delivered a role of a lifetime...

    I don't throw the word genius around that often, and that includes Tarantino. Great? Yes. Influential? Yes. Maybe a wider body of work and he's in the genius category. For me, there are 6 geniuses of cinema: Welles, Allen, Hitchcock, Altman, Scorcese, and Kubrick.

    On a scale of 1-10

    Any chance of a Vega brothers movie?

    Father time is a b****.
