Quentin Tarantino says TV is forgettable, unlike movies. Vince Gilligan and Rhea Seehorn strongly disagree.

Does it? What difference would it make if he was born two years later? People are too obsessed with these somewhat arbitrary generational divides.

He’s always been like this.

So desperate to be relevant in this moment, he'll say or do anything (except make that final film).

And Paul Dano, and Denis Villeneuves Dune. It kinda feels like he says some of this stuff just to make headlines.

He also said he directly knew what Harvy Weinstein was doing to those girls and stayed silent.  More like he was an active participant and didn’t want to be grouped in with his old best friends 

I mean it does kinda suck that there are no rental stores any more. Growing up I would have loved to work the counter at a video game shop and spend hours lecturing unwilling grandparents on what game is best for their child. Instead I had to be a waiter.

Nah plenty of assholes with stupid takes are also experts of their fields The problem is thinking their know-how means their opinion is somehow relevant when most of the time it's not*, these people are in every f****** field

Nah he makes good stuff he’s just a weirdo like most directors

The actual biggest myth in the movie fandom is that he wasn't always annoying. I remember watching Pulp Fiction in the 90s, and then seeing interviews with him, and yes he was an annoying t*** back then too. It still didn't make me think any less of the movie, nor my enthusiasm for his later movies. (Though I will throw it out there that there is a noticeable drop in quality in how his movies are paced after Sally Menke died)

Shitty people can have talent.

Brah get off this mindset. Worst people you know can be insane talents and best people you know can be talentless hacks. Don't confuse personality with ability

Tarantino is an excellent filmmaker and may be one of the best of his time. He’s also a f****** idiot.

Honestly, I think most are overrated. Everyone praises his dialogue but I think it's often cringey and overdone

They really do suck for the most part, but it’s not because you are dumb. His films constantly break established film rules and he gets called brilliant for it; not because he is, but because people have labeled him that for so long they don’t want to change.  It’s about social signaling. People were TOLD his movies were good for so long that disagreeing meant going against group think. Which creates the same signals in the brain as flight or fight responses and ego death becomes a threat.  Eventually it got to where if you didn’t like his movies, people would actively find things wrong with you. The most common thing to bring up was how his moves are anti racism or anti nazi, so if you say you don’t like them, people have an easy way to attack you. Once you start defending yourself as not a racist or nazi, you can no longer defend yourself about not liking his films. He has been, and always will be, a shitty movie maker and a horrible human being who has gotten away with a lot of really dark shit behind the scenes.  The worst part is younger people have no clue because he worked HARD to have his past erased during the #metoo movement

His movies are all an hour too long.

Some genuinely do suck imo.

He is genuinely a great director, but to me a mid writer. He just doesn't know how to end his films anymore in any other way than just a bloodbath. And that is me speaking as a big fan of his earlier work. Reservoir Dogs, pulp fiction, jackie brown, kill bill are classics.

No they are legitimately great . Many assholes and shitheads make fantastic art. Hollywood and the music industry is sure proof of this lol

He forgot about it.

I mean it was a very good finale. He’s understandably very good at working in a lot of mediums.

Yes and he’s also previously said he’s a Friends and HIMYM fan lol Sometimes I think he’s deliberately trying to be edgy, because he contradicts himself so much

I think there is a slight plague (currently) of mini series kind of taking over what movies used to do. I just watched Mad Men for the first time and reminded myself why tv used to work. Yearly checks in on characters where you could believably develop them. I feel like creators are having a hard time with whatever is causing the 2-3 year delays and they face more pressure. Mad Men did 13 episodes a year every year and it left them a lot of room for experimentation and, more importantly, room to fail (in my opinion, some episodes of mad men are better than others. Now shows are basically long movies with sequels that come out 2.5-3 years later and rarely go past three seasons. It just isn’t comforting like it used to be. People just want to hang out with their characters, but when you only get 8 episodes every couple of years, anything that doesn’t advance the plot feels like filler.

I heard somewhere that he “couldn’t get into” Breaking Bad. Smh
