Ezekiel 25:17

You're right there.

I guess the difference, to me, between Tarantino's work and that of the other directors you mentioned is that those directors do well because they tell meaningful stories well.

To me (and this is just one man's opinion), Tarantino gets by on novelty.

I hear yeah, and I agree Scorcese and Spielberg tell great stories, but to there credit some of there best works were based off novels so they already had a good basis to tell "Their" story.

Where as Tarintino's works are more his own creation, which I think leads to the perpetuation that all his movies are very similar. Like you said Novelty, which I dont mind personaly.

The dude wrote True Romance (one of my personal favorite movies of all time) so I'm glad he is working in movies but as a director...

Reservoir Dogs

Pulp Fiction

Four Rooms

Jackie Brown

Kill Bill: Vol. 1 & 2

Sin City

Death Proof

Inglorious Bastards

First two movies are great but after that is serious mediocrity.

I bolded the great ones... I still have to see Jackie Brown and Four Rooms, but I think he's pretty good...

Inglorious Basterds was a remake though, btw... He just put his touch on it...

Other then the name and the premise of U.S soliders behind enemy lines theres zero resemblence. It's not a remake

1978, an Italian film was released with the American name "Inglorious Bastards", about four U.S. soldiers on their way to prison who end up volunteering for a commando mission behind enemy lines. Tarantino took the name and the idea of rough-and-tumble American soldiers on a mission, and that's where the movie remake stops.

Its funny for me. I was a HUGE fan of his. Saw everything in the theaters and after Jackie Brown I just thought he was "in a slump". Once Death Proof came out I gave up making excuses.

Not unlike M Night. 6th Sense and Unbreakable were amazing. Everything since has been pretty pedestrian.

I liked Signs, and The Village... but Lady in the Water was kinda weird, and I have no desire to see the Airbender thing...

EDIT: I forgot he did The Happening too.. that wasn't too bad either...

    • Exactly He's played two seasons and started 28 games. He's well beyond the point of being able to point to 2 or 3 games and being able to say, "THAT is the QB he is and will be in the future" Of course he can get there, but anyone trying to use just those couple of games to rank his place amongst the games QB's today and their full career's worth of playing at that level, is just asinine. Mahomes, Allen, Lamar, Burrow, Hurts, Herbert, Daniels, Stafford, Goff, Geno, Purdy, Baker, Love, Dak, Tua, Kyler, Lawrence That's 17 QB's right there that have played better over their careers than Bryce has played at his best.  And I'm not saying they're all studs or guys I'd want to be our QB moving forward, Tua for example I wouldn't touch with a 10 foot pole, but his body of work is a million times better than Bryce's has been. It's also not including any of the other QB's drafted in 2023/2024 other than Daniels. So again, say you believe in Bryce, say you think he's going to prove he can and should be our QB of the future, that's all fair and totally fine. But nobody can say he's been an above average QB in his career thus far, it's just an asinine notion.
    • I'd think we could get one of those from Dallas for... whatever.
