"I'm making films for audiences who live 20 years from now." Its quite possible his work will last even longer. One of the few generational film makers not locked down by audience expectation, but driven by the stories he wants to tell. His style is informed by the movies that he loves and which have inspired him. Quentin Tarantino is truly a distinct and immersive filmmaker.

He is *not* shallow just because he's got style. The lethal revelation to a respected comrade in "Reservoir Dogs?" The redemption and moral justice in "Pulp Fiction?" Two-sided, consequence-laden revenge in "Kill Bill?" The paradox of us watching Nazis butchered in a snuff film as they watch Allies butchered in a snuff film in "Inglourious Basterds?" Now, in what could be his greatest film, he's shown the horror of racism in a genre with a history of perpetrating it.

People who still hate on Tarantino either haven't watched his more recent films, or haven't watched them with their eyes open. Also, they probably can't dance.

My friend told me that Tarantino copied a lot of sequences from an Italian movie in "Pulp Fiction," including the dance scene. Anybody know the title of the film off hand?

um the dance scene wasn't an italian film, it was a french film called 'band of outsiders'

After his performance in The Hurt Locker (which I feel dwarfs Renner's, personally), I would love to see him in every damn thing. :P

It's a long story, but to make it short, it seems to me that Tarantino robs everything of value from the things he claims to be doing homage to. Originally I think it stemmed from his simple lack of talent and surface level understanding of the films he saw when he was younger, but as time goes on a people point this shit out to him constantly, I can't help but think that it's becoming more and more conscious and so more and more unforgivable.

And speaking as someone who has dedicated much of his time on earth to watching and thinking about the types of films Tarantino claims as influences (kung fu junk, old grindhouse stuff, the classic drive-ins, etc.) his sins against the genre(s) make me particularly ill. Don't take me for a genre purist though. I'm all for experimentation and new ideas, even (and perhaps especially) in genres with entrenched mores. The problem is that there are no new ideas in any of Tarantino's films.

He has a great sense of humour which makes the violence look like a daily habitual and more tolerable.

The car scene with Clive Owen and Del Toro, where he's got the gunbarrel stuck in his head
