Yes so it's a completely meaningless criticism when applied to one singular film in his filmography. About as trite a criticism there could possibly be.
I agree and I wish Jackie Brown had not underperformed at the box office. I believe that is what prompted Tarantino to abandon subtlety and revert back to his earlier formula.
What I mean is that Jackie Brown was the point where it seems he felt established enough to move on to more unique filmmaking, but instead it became the one-off that it is when it underperformed and he gave up that approach.
>he felt established enough to move on to more unique filmmaking >more unique
I think the word you're looking for is "refined", his whole thing when he first hit the scene was his untethered uniqueness anon.
Honestly you're right
I enjoy Jackie Brown but a lot of it is for the novelty. I thought Michael Keaton was great, schlubby De Niro is great, full villain Sam Jackson is great, Bridget Fonda was hot, Chris Tucker...
Now that I think of it, all the acting was phenomenal (obviously pam grier and robert forster were outstanding) but the movie is absolutely bloated. "It's a hang out film" oh, it shows, Quentin.
Kill Bill is my favourite film of all time and I don't give a frick what anyone says. I watched this shit when I was 11 years old with my brother and fricking loved it ever since.
I want to get all deep and artsy fartsy about Jackie Brown and Once Upon A Time In Hollywood but I do enjoy Kill Bill 1 and 2 the most out of all of his movies. And Pulp Fiction is extremely rewatchable as well.
It's focused, episodic, both western and eastern, stars Tarantino's muse in her best role, fully realizing material that had been gestating for years. It's fricking kino, probably my favorite in part due to its simplicity.
And women love it too, and not in a complicated way. Lightning in a bottle.
Thanks for reminding me to check the new bev schedule. He's doing midnight showings of Inglourious Basterds 4 fridays in a row, gonna have to check that out.
*semenal
I could use a laugh, fat kid.
Tell me what you think "most seminal" means
I spilled the most semen to these movies
His GOAT film.
Bloated and completely derivative. (He didn’t even try with battle Royal / Chiaki) All the kungfu / Japanese films he tries to reference are superior.
Jackie Brown was better.
>completely derivative
Jesus christ, shut the frick up lmao
Tarantinos movies are the literal definition of derivative even if you like them

Pulp Fiction wasn’t. It was wildly original. Jackie Brown was referential, but not as derivative as his other stuff
why can't you fricking homosexuals just watch something and enjoy it instead of acting like a bunch of a poofters

Implying Jackie Brown wasn't him doing something decidedly different in the first place?

Jackie Brown is his best work simply because he didn't write the story. Hes a shitty writer. His novelization of OUATIH was embarassing
>Jackie Brown was better
Such a Reddit opinion. Jackie Brown was actually the bloated mess. It nearly ruined QTs career.
OP is right. Kill Bill was QT's masterpiece. He never reached those heights again.

For me, it’s vol. 2
jackie brown is the only good movie this talentless hack has ever made
Lucy Liu and Michael Madsen were the best parts of this movie.
It was his last good movie.
I got to work with Michael Madsen on a bit project ages ago. That guy loves his cocaine.

>And Pulp Fiction is extremely rewatchable as well.
i watched it once, dislked it severely and never intend to visit it again
Don't watch it on Cable. They chop it to shit even more now than ever. They skip the entire dead Black person storage bit.
There's nothing particularly artsy about either of those movies. They're both pulpy in their own right. They just aren't as explicit
QT is basically Corman if he was artsy and is into black culture. He is the Anti-Spielberg.
The part where Uma throws that knife at the black lady and says to her daughter "she was a dirty Black person just like you!" is the best part

Greatest fricking film soundtrack ever
That one's good. I liked The Lonely Shepherd the most.
>You have to go to QT's theatre to watch the uncut version.
Thanks for reminding me to check the new bev schedule. He's doing midnight showings of Inglourious Basterds 4 fridays in a row, gonna have to check that out.
You're a SoCal anon? You should go to Coppola's theater. Biggest screen I've ever seen and was sold out for a Mike Leigh film.
What's the theater called anon? Sounds great
the characters interest me and incite curiosity much more than his other films
definitely in my top 100
Would have been cooler if QT manages to get Meiko Kaiji. The whole psycho b***h thing is her thing.
DONT CARE LUCY BETTER
Basterds too
It's really H8ful 8
