Completely disagree about The Hateful Eight…I saw it last night in 70 mm and loved every single second of it…beautifully shot with incredible attention to detail…I though it had some brilliant comedic moments also…and yeah,all the characters are bastards…I mean it’s called the Hateful Eight hahaha…I thought it was an epic masterpiece and I am glad I saw it in 70mm…they gave out cool little souveneir programs also…had a blast last night…
Ash vs Evil Dead might be the most fun I have ever had watching a tv show…so much greatness…
It’s definitely a divisive one, i’ve been with Tarantino every step of the way since Reservoir Dogs - apart from Death Proof, which was rubbish - but on the first viewing of this one i can’t find anything i liked about it at all.

Pulp and dogs are his finest. Jackie brown, dusk till dawn are what drove me away. didn’t make it through all of the kill bills, kinda swore him off… Django is the only good flick he’s made since Pulp… I haven’t seen inglorious just because of the crap he’s been churning out.

Death Proof is the only one I have trouble getting through. The chase is fantastic, but everything before it is interminably dull.
Agreed, the chase was very good, but the film was just balls. Watching Death Proof was like seeing the same shit film twice, but the second time it had a different ending. I was really looking forward to the pairing of Kurt Russell and QT, but neither time has been to my liking. Third time lucky, maybe?

Sorry religious one. Galileo was ostracized for being right too. [;)]

Yeah total blasphemy…Jackie Brown is outstanding and Inglorious is surely one of the best things he has ever done…
I also thought it was one of his most humorous…and as great as everyone was,Walton Goggins was just a show stealer…
Yeah, i do really like Walton Goggins, i was a big fan of him in Justified. It needed someone great to balance Timothy Olyphant’s Clint-tastic performance, and he more than delivered.
I saw “Death Proof” some time back. I thought it was fun. It was . . . what it was. A nice piece of throwback exploitation-style violent thriller.
I’m not a QT fan boy, but I seem to like most of his stuff. “Inglourios Basterds” was incredible. It was kind of beyond the typical QT film (whatever the heck that means). It was high-art cinema that looked beautiful and was acted so intently that a reasonable person could watch it back to back with “Schindler’s List” and have a tough time saying which is truly the “better” film.
I’ve not seen “Django” yet. I’d have to look at a list of his films to see if there are some that I didn’t like.

He also directed one segment of a forgettable 90s film called Four Rooms, it wasn’t very good. Also, he wrote True Romance, which i love, and Natural Born Killers, which is ok.
I’ve never seen “Jackie Brown” in its entirety. Just starting from second half or so when I’ve caught it on TV. I thought it was good, though. And great for a laugh when I catch the Saturday afternoon network edited version and Samuel Jackson is calling people “Maryland Farmers” [took me a while to figure out what the heck that was all about - hint: “Yippee Kay Ay, Mister Falcon”]

I love “True Romance”.
Haven’t seen NBK in a million years, but I remember thinking it was all right but a bit overhyped.
“Four Rooms” . . . I remember it being crap. A friend of mine rented it and I don’t even know if I watched QT’s story or not before leaving the apartment.
I watched a great Norwegian thriller last night called Headhunters. It’s about a high-end recruitment specialist who steals art on the side to keep his relationship alive with his hot, tall wife - she likes the finer things in life. He steals from the wrong person, a guy who used to be in the special forces and specialised in tracking his prey. Basically a very tense, but also very funny, game of cat and mouse. Great film, really enjoyed it.
Tonight, i watched He Never Died, with Henry Rollins. It’s a low-budget deadpan comedic thriller with little elements of stuff as different as The Big Lebowski, Highlander and Terminator and loads more that i won’t go into in case i ruin it for anyone. By the way, i don’t mean those films are the basis for it or anything, just lots of bits reminded me of those films in one way or another. It’s also very like something Garth Ennis would have made a comic of, so if you don’t like his comics, this isn’t for you. Weirdly, i just texted my cousin about it to say i thought he’d love it and he texted me back straight away to say he’d been walking out of a Henry Rollins show when he got my message. Anyway, it won’t be for everyone, it’s low-budget and weird, but it’s a good laugh too and Rollins is great.
The Martian. I didn’t care for it very much, totally underwhelming as fuck and does not deserve whatever nominations it got this award season. If Ridley Scott didn’t direct it nobody would have even noticed it apart from people who read the book it’s based on.
