Death proof sucks

bad enough the film sucks, but then I turned on the extras and Quentin was going on about how he wanted to make one of the top three car chase films, if not the best, first time I have ever turned off an extra half way.

Very disapointing, I just hope planet terror is better.
 
Yeah but let's all pretend it's good because of Quentin, like we all pretend the final scenes in Kill Bill were compelling and not pretentious twoddle.
 
Jackie Brown is a bit slow too, funny how he tends to use the same actors over and over again, but Robert Dinero just made that one film with him.
 
It did suck. Just a bunch of useless characters sitting in a bar saying stuff you can't even give a shit about for 40 minutes, followed by a boring bunch of predictable bollocks.

Planet Terror was much better, and even that was far from great. Grindhouse sucked. The fake Machete trailer was the best bit.
 
If you saw grindhouse then you probably saw shorter versions of both, the separate death proof DVD is much longer, and the only trailer you get is for planet terror, hope Machete and the others are on the PT DVD.

Yeah, it's been done in a better movie called RESERVOIR DOGS
 
At lest Reservoir Dogs managed to paint characters with success. Death Proof done squat. I reckon Tarantino will actually shit into a movie film can for his next movie, and hand it to the distributors.
 
He always thinks he's so cutting edge, but he copies from tons of old movies.
 
Mostly his own, nowadays. They're like 3000th generation photocopies or faxes though. More fuzzed and fucked with each attempt.
 
I think the trouble is he got so much praise for his first two films that he thinks he can do no wrong, and I dont think he is surrounded by the sort of people that will tell him honestly what he is doing isnt that great.
 
And he's drugged out of his mind.
 
Tarantino shook things up when he first came on the scene and Reservoir Dogs is my all time favourite movies.

I thought Kill Bill was a poor movie at best and heavy handed in the extreme and I have no intention of watching Grindhouse.

Face it, he lost it. He made a shit load of cash and he barely does anything but enjoy the fruits of his success. He made Grindhouse because it was expected of him to do something new not because he had a real passion to do it.

Still, he will always deserve props for Pulp Fiction and Reservoir Dogs so there you go.
 
Just been on the IMdb board for this, it seems to be polerised between people who thought it sucked, and QT apologists who insist the rest of us just dont get or appreciate the genius behind making a film purposely boring.
 
Ahhh...so I'm stupid for not seeing his genius for making a film that he knew would suck, and therefore he had the balls to make it anyways?
 
To them QT could stab you, and if you thought it was a life threatening attack by a crazy director, you would just not be getting the post modern reasoning behind the attack which is attempting to show the futility of knife crime in the 21st century.
 
So if I went out and filmed two old dears scoffing at a local café, complaining about the weather, kids today & the government, and then did little plasticene models of them getting killed, would I be considered a visionary director?
 
Depends how well it goes down in Cannes, and if you could get Harvey Keitel to be in it.
 
He needs the money nowadays.
 
Did Life on Mars get cancelled?

Sounds like every IMDB board (were there threads about how all the girls in it were ugly?)
