The Tarantino Problem
Quentin Tarantino is regularly mentioned among the great directors working today. His films are released to breathless anticipation. Yet does his output justify the ejaculatory praise he receives?

What You're Saying...
- Norbert: I’ll agree on all but the LOTR. Is it really so great? Visually it was great but besides the good looks the movies sucked and I think kinda made a lot things...
- Norbert: Naaaah you didn’t feel the reshots were out of place with the 99 endings of the trilogy? Also your idea of a good movie suprises me. LOTR had good effects...
- Amanda: The Chucky film was nuts, like all of them. Its not that much of a horror film tho tbh.
- Nina: How did he get money to make this flop???I used to be his fan and even like Southland Tales…but the box left me so mad!!He is pretentious, he does not care...
- Matt Holmes: Joe, When I can. I literally had 15 minutes to turn that out this morning, I had a feeling it might not have read so well and be full of spelling errors. Proof...
