Quentin Tarantino

Tarantino movies or a least the first one have very much a sorta memetic quality to it, pulp fiction pretty much catapult jackson to memetic stardom in a way so are easy to remenber, so is kill bill and the other.

I will said after inglorious bastard his movie have got more slow and more prone to wait until the bloodshed start, I love hatefull eight and I see like three times but damn it take until the second half when something happen, I like it but my mother got bored of it.

Also marcus warren is one hell of a complex black chararter I have seen.

Hmm, good points, both of you.

Even though Tarantino isn't my favorite director - it would be a tie between Christopher Nolan and Steven Spielberg, because I'm boring like that - he's indeed the only director whose entire works I have watched. XD

As for my favorite Tarantino movies:

1) Pulp Fiction

2) Inglourious Basterds

3) Kill Bill 1

4) Django Unchained

5) Kill Bill 2

6) Reservoir Dogs

7) Jackie Brown

8) Hateful Eight

9) Once Upon a Time in Hollywood

10) From Dusk Till Dawn

From number 1 to 5 are ones I enjoyed so much that I one day hope to make movies like that.

On the other hand, 9 and 10 are ones I feel like I wouldn't have missed out much even if I just watched the best scenes on You Tube.

I put the Hateful Eight at the bottom and Once Upon a Time in Hollywood much-much higher.

While I can't agree with the latter, I definitely can with the former.

The Hateful Eight was...well, a bit excessive in some degrees. Pretty much everything that happened after the whole poisoned coffee bit was absolutely stellar, at least in my opinion, but the first half was just so...urgh. Should've been at least 30 minutes shorter.

Your enjoyment of The Hateful Eight depends heavily on whether or not you like asshole protagonists, I've noticed.

yeah hatefull eight is pretty much a bunch of douchebag and a carrier dicking each other and boy everyone is so delightfully awfull, Marcus and demeraouge specially.

Hell I dont know if what he said about the general was truth or not and if was a lie, it clearly REALLY went for the juggar.

As I posted previously, I watched pretty much every single Tarantino films^note  I guess if I am to be a stickler for the rules, I haven't watched True Romance and Death Proof but seeing how both of them is considered failures, I feel very comfortable leaving those out. and definitely familiar with anti-heroes and vulgarities.

EVEN THEN I found pretty much all the main characters of Hateful Eight rather unpleasant, although Mannix after the General's death became very likable and easy to root for.

And since this is a TV Tropes thread, YES, I'm fully aware that was the point and the movie isn't titled "The Loveful/Grateful Eight.''

I think the question is if you finding engable hatefull and not scrappies, the former are fun to see how they all hit each other, the other are a chore

I haven't seen Jackie Brown or Hateful Eight. Once Upon a Time in Hollywood probably works best if you view it as a fairy tale capturing the complexities of both Hollywood filmmaking and the Los Angeles area.

I also see that Django Unchained is divisive depending on how well do you think it handled the racism of the South at the time.

Django work as super black revenge fantasy of sorts, with him killing the white slaver, taking his girl and blowing up the place.

Hatefull eight is harder if anything given warren tale to the general which show he can be quite nasty.

Granted hatefull eight WAS suposed to be Django squel, called Django and white hell. make you think how it would be if marcus was Django before it changes the idea

Back when I was in the Politics thread, I usually had to represent the South in a lot of discussions where people had a very different idea of how things are viewed. Django Unchained had a very strong and visceral effect down here as it really attacked the Southern apologia stereotype as well as underscored in red that slavery was full of rape and torture.

Which...duh.

Except, that is something that is never taught and massively underscored. For all the faults of the movie, it was unflinching in delivering a message that the South was full of bad guys.

And unlike other movies, plenty of racists went to see it.

it interesting the way marucs tell about charles smithers jr because if he is lying and didnt rape his son during a snow(probably didnt) clearly he craft his take using the kind of fear souther white men would find horryfing by casting himself as some kind of deprávate black brute in order to get the maximum efect.

Like even if that was a lie, damn it didnt detract for the brutal factor it does.

I guess that made him getting shot in the balls a lot less painful to watch and kinda karmic. Maybe.

And gotta say, is it just me or does Tarantino really enjoy utterly brutal nutshots?

Maybe he really enjoys CBT.

AND CHESTER.

CHARLES.

SMITHERS.

So was Warren's tale about the General's son made up? There seems to be a lot of disagreement on the page about it.

Is it just that Warren would be too Hateable if it were true?

I took it as just him saying the most horrifying thing he could at the moment. We know his relationship with the truth is sketchy.

My ranking:

1. Inglourious Basterds

2. Once Upon a Time in Hollywood

3. Pulp Fiction

4. Jackie Brown

5. Reservoir Dogs

6. The Hateful Eight

7. Django Unchained

8. Kill Bill

9. Death Proof

i personally think he did kill the general's son but didnt do that, and only made it up when he saw the general again. he was already hateable enough since the film iirc mentions he caused a lot of friendly fire among fellow prisoners when he burned the POW camp he was in to escape, as well as his policy of always killing bounties w/ the implication not all of them are guilty

a lot of it (his uh... story) reminds me of Mr. Orange practicing his story in Reservoir Dogs

WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!

I take it from the view that he is Django.

Just going by a different name because, well, he burned down Candyland.

It also feeds into my headcanon that Django was Stephen's son but neither of them ever knew it.

django didnt like schultz forcing him to kill bounties, though. granted he could have turned bloodthirsty but given he specifically gets vengeance for d'Artagnan and is clearly affected by having to let him die in the first place, i can see why quentin replaced django with warren

Maybe but this is also Post-civil war Django in this WMG and if any conflict is likely to make a man more likely to hunt down and kill ex-Confederates, it would be this.

thats fair, especially since he kills Candie's sister (albeit since she directly mandated his torture and sale)

that said django definitely would not have actually done the deed, just killed him

My ranking, which will probably change at some point.

1.) Pulp Fiction

2.) Django Unchained

3.) Once Upon a Time in Hollywood

4.) Kill Bill Volume 1

5.) Inglorious Basterds

6.) Reservoir Dogs

7.) Kill Bill Volume 2

8.) Hateful Eight

9.) Jackie Brown

10.) From Dusk Till Dawn
