BAH ICK UGH POO

Aside from the obvious answer (he can't because he doesn't have an original bone in his body) why doesn't Quentin Pinkerton Tarantino make a film that's not a direct rip-off of an obscure film he hopes no-one's heard of?
OK, maybe they're "FUN" as a friend of mine suggests, but what would you think of a painter whose entire body of work was copying other paintings?
What would you think of that painter being praised to the skies while the painters of the original (and arguably better) works languished in obscurity?

So, here's my challenge to QPT; prove me wrong by making a really good, really original film that isn't wholly based on some other film you've watched. Pick a book that no-one's filmed yet, and make THAT.


C'mon, I DARE ya

I liked the bit where Chris Tucker got shot

Fair enough! Also, is his middle name REALLY Pinkerton?

(The weird thing about the whole Django thing is that QT was already IN a post-modern ironic tribute/prequel/spin-off thingy of Django, Takashi Miike's Sukiyaki Western Django

I ALWAYS like when Chris Tucker got shot

No, I refer to his fetish for Asian women.

I KNOW, right? Though I LIKED the Miike film

Ha! Fair enough. I don't think there will be any asian women in Django Unbound...lots of dirty feet-shots though, I imagine.

Yes, the Miike film was kind of fun--I haven't seen any of his stuff since 13 Assassins...should probably see what he's made in the last couple of years (probably half a dozen different fillums)

flaming cattle stampede....good times, good times

That was a good shot--I liked that it was when he was pulling back to let the viewer get the full effect, too, instead of just doing the whole sequence in close up and shaky-cam or some such.
