QUENTIN TARANTINO over 3 years ago

I think Tarrantino isnt a genius but just a really good director from what ive seen. I think Tarrantino is just good at making an interesting plot with numerous references to old movies and T.V. shows and music, then injecting a crapload of cussing and violence. Thats pretty much a Tarrantino film.
