I may watch Deathproof again for the Mary Elizabeth Winstead goodness.

Death Proof was sooooo bad, that whole bit of foreshadowing with the legs was way too much.
the whole movie would've been a complete waste of time, but because
it was only somewhat redeemed.
I'm a fan of most of his movies, but this one was just way too long and way too bad.
If the chicks didn't kill him in the end
they did

My aunt-in-law was QT's inspiration for the Jungle Julia character in Death Proof. She was also one of the "girls with guns" in Jackie Brown.

Watched Pulp Fiction for the first time today. SLJ's character was perhaps the most fucking badass person in movie history. When I first finished the movie, I sort of didn't know what the fuck I just watched. The more I've reflected on it though, the more I want to watch it again before it's due back in a week. The dialogue was just incredible, and now that I know what happens I think I'll be able to pick up on some details I missed in the first go.

Hey, thanks. Didn't even notice that link in the OP.
Now i watched Death Proof for the first time. And i have to say im kinda disappointed.
I thought the dialogue was missing something, cant put my finger on what though.
I loved the stunt work and the reversal of roles in the end, but i'm not entirely happy about this one. Maybe i need to watch it a few times more.
I remember when i watched Pulp Fiction for the first time, i wasn't crazy about that one either. But it grew on me each time i watched it, and now its my favorite movie.
Guess i'll give DP another go then

There is a ridiculous amount of stuff in that film that you won't pick up on the first viewing. Check out the book called Tarantino by Jim Smith, it's an excellent analysis of all of the films he's been involved in.
I still need to check out his episode of E.R..
He did an episode of CSI which was fantastic, one of the best episodes of that show ever.
Woah, I'm really looking forward to checking out that True Romance Tarantino cut. There was a lot in that aforementioned book about the changes from script to screen, really looking forward to seeing it for myself.
In light of so many remakes being made these days, I think it would be really cool if Tarantino were to direct his own script of Natural Born Killers. I love Stone's version, really love it (I think he made it his own with that amazing direction), but it'd be cool to see how it was originally meant to be.

Funny little thing is that when the characters in QT's movies smoke, they smoke Red Apple:

The whole conversation between Jules and Vincent in the car about whoppers and leading up to the door with the foot massage is absolutely fantastic. And then they top it with the most bad ass scene ever. "Does he look like a bitch!?". Too good.
Don't miss Jackie Brown. Fantastic movie. Kill Bill 1 and 2 you could love or hate. They're different, but still so Tarantino. And expect lot's of OTT violence and gore. More than you can imagine.

4 rooms is pretty shitty... Last 2 rooms are the only ones worth watching and even those are ok, with the last room being the best.
Watched True Romance: The Tarantino Cut yesterday.
I enjoyed it, I'll probably watch it again (maybe just the director's cut) some time soon to see if I really like it. Best scene is obviously the Sicilian scene, but also Arquette/Gandolfini, Penn and Sizemore were good together too. Wasn't as cool as Pulp Fiction, to me.

ive always considered myself a QT fan, but i really only liked res. dogs and pulp fiction. Pulp is probably one of my top 3 favourite movies, and res. dogs was a masterpiece. these are the only two though
i absolutely hated kill bill 1 and 2, HATED both of them to death, deathproof was kinda crappy as well. i've got high hopes for inglorious, simply because i get a vibe more similar to res. dogs from the trailer.

You haven't watched Jackie Brown, and you despise the Kill Bill films. Yeah...
Watching the Tarantino Cut of True Romance as we speak, I think the most noticeable difference we'd see if Tarantino had directed is a much better soundtrack. Absolutely hate the main theme of the movie in its current form :/
Edit: Well I shouldn't say that I hate, just don't think it fits at all in this film. Sounds like something that should be Cool Running :lol

Saw that when I looked up the song on youtube, still don't think it fits with the film, and the remade (?) version they have in True Romance is a bit more Caribbean then the one in Badlands
What the hell happened to Malick anyways? Don't see how you go from Days of Heaven and Bandlands to The New World...Finished the Tarantino Cut, despite owning the movie, outside of the fact that it was put back in its original order, I'm not quite sure what scenes were added in considering I haven't seen the thing in years. Having said that, I think the film works extremely well when not in chronological order, probably because that's the form it was initially meant to be in. It's definitely on par with what Tarantino himself has put out as a director, outside of the theme and Patricia Arquette's ending monologue, the film was pretty close to being damn near perfect.

I just caught the two films Tarantino wrote (Natural Born killers was totally rewritten, so it don't count) the past couple days:
From Dusk Till Dawn
Loved this. Every scene is an reworking of genre (the vampire portion being the longest) all combined into a whizz bang story. Clooney is the fucking man in this, probably his best role. Outside of a few slow patches in the Vampire bit, this film really delivered.
True Romance - The Tarantino Cut
Really good script in place here culminating in that wild shootout, it was good in that respect. there were some pacing issues, scenes where it was like "yea, I do liek this as a standalone scene, but it's keeping me off the main path here." Weirdly divergent moments where it's like I'm not even sure what the point was. Why did they spend all that time of Darryl ( I think that was his name) becoming an actor? Kind of a waste, I thought for sure he'd die.
Scott's cinematography is a little stale. He's got a nice color palette, everyone had great costumes, but he has no way with making colors like that "pop". it was sterile, really. Plus he has that "quick cuts so you can't see shit" problem, too. And shit, I didn't even realize Clarence died. He didn't do that death justice, even for a deleted scene. Like, it looked like the bullet grazed his eyebrow, I figured he'd get up at any moment. And I dunno what the deal is with the ending with her flashbacks and stuff. I guess that was to show she really loved him? I dunno.
I think if Tarantino left this in the pot to stew more, it would've been a perfect bridge between Pulp Fiction and Jackie Brown. But, he let it go too early. What we have is very good, but it could've been great.
I mean, holy fuck @ all these actors in this movie! It's crazy how many stars are in it. Gary Oldman was the best though, you could barely tell it was him. Just great.
Speaking of which, I guess Christopher Walken jsut gets off scott free? He wasn't even in the climax of the film at all, that's weird, in retrospect.

I'm much more partial to films he wrote, but others directed.
He lays it on too thick.

Kill Bill is my favorite and I would argue, his best film.
Sonny goddamn Chiba stole the show in #1.
Both volumes I and II are excellent really showed Tarantino's range. There's a lot of layers to KB both in aestethics, themes, and references which make it just so fun to watch.
There's that smart ass sarcasm, tons of violence, but with the emotional layer which is why Jackie Brown was also awesome.
It's good when dudes like Rob Rich are around who won't shoot any of his stupid "I'm weird" bullshit. Eccentrics are their best on a leash.
Not really too excited for Inglorious Basterds, looks kinda like a wank fest, but I'm sure it'll be fun.

The first 10 minutes of From Dusk Till Dawn may be the best thing Tarantino's ever been a part of. Taut, intense, subversive and inventive all in one. It blew me away on frist viewing.
If you guys haven't seen it, Tarantino has been doing introductions to films on Sky Movies. They're all roughly 10 minutes or shorter and within them, he gives some fairly off the wall but interesting takes of the films. Pretty great stuff.
