The Hateful Eight is my favorite. Just watched the new extended version on Netflix. Now structured as four separate episodes.
This is the only movie of his I've watched completely again. He has technical talent but uses it on silly rehashes.

Kill Bill is my favorite movie of all time. There is an art to ultra violence. It's an acquired taste. He also imcorporates so many genres at once. Westerns, old school asian flicks, you can tell he truly loves cinema. His stuff is never bland, always inspired.

As others have stated, these are the reasons: He steals all his plots from other movies, he hates and is afraid of women unless they’re cartoonish superhero types, his writing is lazy af (refer to his black title cards as a “style thing” rather than lazy structure), he is woefully, painfully uncool and thinks he’s edgy, he’s ugly, he keeps trying to act in his movies, and he’s self-indulgent (use of 70mm in H8, which was essentially a stage play). He’s an aggressively, painfully boring person who has to shoot up and have a foot fetish to become interesting. He has not one authentic bone in his body.

The key to achieving racial harmony in America is healing the divide between white and black. The rest of these minorities don’t care about representation—they worship the ground the white man walks on and are happy just to see him. Only black people have a separate and distinct identity which they want to preserve. Latinos and Asians will happily surrender what makes them unique in order to breed and blend in with white people. They want to be white.
| by Anonymous | reply 52 | May 8, 2019 3:08 PM |
This is also part of the reason why blacks are the most hated among white people. They can’t stand the fact that blacks won’t bend the knee and assimilate into whiteness the way those good little Asians do.

Wow theres a lot going on in those two posts above. But comparing black people and their behavior to other minorities in the US is apples to oranges. Black people have been in America as long as white people have. So it doesn't make sense that either culture would be pushed to "assimilate". Thats very different than Latinos or Asians who emigrated to a mostly formed country

Tarantino has made some amazing movies. Kill Bill was the beginning of the end for me -- it had his trademark virtuosity, but the low road revenge shit is too manipulative and lowbrow, strictly trash. He seems to revel in the fact that he's making trash cool, but fuck that. Shit stinks no matter who squeezes it out.
After KB it became Quentin's Revenge-orama. So dull. I sat through Deathproof and there were some exciting moments but come the fuck on.
I haven't even bothered to see his most recent revenge flavor of the week movies. I'm looking forward to the Manson movie not being a shit revenge-genre pic. I'll go see that.

He specializes in the celebration/recreation of 1970s grindhouse, which included some of the most problematic aspects of the era, such as gun violence, racial antagonism, misogyny, rape culture, and toxic masculinity tinged with a degree of homophobia.
