I split his filmography into 2. Part one: his first 3 films Part two: everything he's made since. Out of part one, my favourite is Pulp Fiction but Jackie Brown is probably his most mature and natural film but that would still come in 3rd. Reservoir Dogs in second. But, if I include scripts written not just directed, True Romance would be number 2 and From Dusk Till Dawn would be number 1. haha Out of Part two, Django Unchained is my favourite followed by Kill Bill Vol.1, Inglourious Bastards, which literally has nothing to do with the original, then Once Upon A Time In Hollywood followed by Kill Bill Vol 2 and then Hateful 8 and finally Death Proof. The reason I split his career is because those first 3 directed movies feel so incredibly different to everything after them, from Kill Bill onwards they all feel like movies that would exist as movies The dogs, Jules & Vincent and Jackie and Ordell would go and see in the cinema. They have no basis in reality even if some are based on real events such as WW2 and 1969 Hollywood. |

I guess another distinction between those two halves is that while the first three films were saturated with pop culture references they weren't as in-your-face as they are in those from Kill Bill onwards - some of it REALLY takes you out of the film and given that Reaps mentioned Death Proof that's a good place to start - the incidental music cues were a massive problem for me because their placement--even in that spectacular car chase at the end-- really took me out of the film because they brought back memories of the films he'd stolen them from! There are way too many different pieces of music in that one sequence and it's really distracting the first time you see it. Would have to agree with Nos about DP being his worst film too. Another of my criticisms is it's way too long and there's far too much inane talking between the girls and a lot of what they say seems forced and it's not organic, like it's been thrown in because it's a signature requisite of a QT flick. I have grown to like it, despite its flaws. The Grindhouse cut is the one to watch as it's a fair bit shorter and addresses some of my concerns with dialogue, etc. Funny thing is I prefer the standalone release of Planet Terror - there's just no pleasing some people, eh? |

It's been a long time since I saw the film and I've been meaning to buy it for years, but as there is no stand-alone Blu-ray release in the UK, that's something which will have to wait. I watched at the cinema thinking 'this is Tarantino making a film for Tarantino' – it was a film I felt he would have loved watching and recommending to customers when working at Video Archives when he was in his 20s.

Well people,I have to disagree,I finished watching the Grindhouse cut of Death Proof and It’s more entertaining than Django Unchained and Kill Bill part 2. As for it being Tarantino fanboyish,well I look at it as more of a tribute,a nod to films of a bygone era,and if further proof were needed,just have a look at the list of thanks to various cult figures during the end credits. Planet Terror is the more entertaining film,but it’s far less professionally made,intentional or not. I just wish someone had made Thanksgiving and Werewolf Girls of the SS! Now there’s a grindhouse double bill

Check out these paintings that an artist friend of mine painted for my birthday, I loved them so much that I left them in the taxi yesterday while ever so slightly drunk and had to get the driver to come back with them IMG_4072.jpg

How many 'final films' is he going to make? Quentin Tarantino has considered making his final film a ‘Reservoir Dogs’ reboot / NME
