Guest Golyadkin Posted November 29, 2007 Share Posted November 29, 2007 Fucker needs to get back to work and stop living of his past triumphs. Indeed he does. His Kill Bill movies are not QT. Stop goofing off. The hell is Deathproof? My favorite movie by him is Dogs, (Dougs too) However I think his best film is Pulp Fiction. <--- Every scene is done so so well.

hollow Posted November 29, 2007 Share Posted November 29, 2007 My vote would be for Pulp Fiction, followed by Reservoir Dogs. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

My favorite movie by him is Dogs, (Dougs too) However I think his best film is Pulp Fiction. This whole thing about Favorite vs. Best doesnt work for me. Your Favorite is what counts. Who cares how well made something is in certain ways if you like something else better. Take everything into account as a whole and make a decision. That is your favorite which makes it the your opinion as the Best. Same thing. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
NightOfJoy Posted November 29, 2007 Share Posted November 29, 2007 Do not, I repeat, DO NOT waste a moment of your time watching "Death Proof". Trust me on this. He started out strong with RD, its been downhill since........I've been accused of being a QT hater but I'm actually just disappointed in him. He's gotta stop jacking off (read: paying homage to genres and films he worships) and start doing something worthy. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

The whole film is kind of understated until you get to the first car crash scene and then it just rocks. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
NightOfJoy Posted November 30, 2007 Share Posted November 30, 2007 Ok, go ahead..........but dont say I didnt warn you! ;-) I actually liked DP. The whole film is kind of understated until you get to the first car crash scene and then it just rocks. I ended up fastforwarding thru the endless blather to the kill scenes, which are indeed inventive. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
hollow Posted December 1, 2007 Share Posted December 1, 2007 I ended up fastforwarding thru the endless blather to the kill scenes, which are indeed inventive.I saw Death Proof last night, and wish I'd had this advice in advance. The first part of the movie, up until the first car scene was incredibly boring. Definitely Tarantino's worst so far - I don't have high hopes for his next endeavor after seeing Death Proof. And, please, would he just stop trying to act! Quote Link to post Share on other sites

NightOfJoy Posted December 2, 2007 Share Posted December 2, 2007 No kidding......the entire movie is boring.......outside of the kills. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
hollow Posted December 2, 2007 Share Posted December 2, 2007 Yes, I should probably clarify -- the first part of Death Proof was incredibly boring, the car scenes were good, and the rest of the movie was just plain boring (so, differing degrees of boring). It was that first part that had me wondering if I could stick with the movie... but I did. So, I agree, the entire movie was boring, save for the kills -- I just rank the degrees of boring-ness Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Beltmann Posted December 2, 2007 Share Posted December 2, 2007 No kidding......the entire movie is boring.......outside of the kills.That does not describe the Death Proof that I saw... but it does sort of describe Planet Terror, except in that one even the kills grew tiresome.

tongue-tied Posted December 3, 2007 Share Posted December 3, 2007 That does not describe the Death Proof that I saw... but it does sort of describe Planet Terror, except in that one even the kills grew tiresome. You see, I would think that the undead and a woman with a machinegun leg would be more interesting than a really safe stunt car. But Quentin's record is better than Robert's. I'm not in a rush to see either of these anyway, so I have nothing to add other than I saw part of Kill Bill vol 1 on tv the other night and I think that the volumes could easily be combined if you cut out the musically timed dramatic glares into the camera before each fight sequence, but what's the fun in that i guess.

napoleon Posted December 3, 2007 Share Posted December 3, 2007 That does not describe the Death Proof that I saw... but it does sort of describe Planet Terror, except in that one even the kills grew tiresome. no kidding. i went opening night to the midnight showing and my friend fell asleep during the first half of death proof. i don't get it. i think the dialogue and events leading up to the end are perfectly put together. but i though planet terror was absolutely priceless.

I expected Death Proof to be better, but the first half hour was so boring and had such awful acting that it felt like Tarantino was probably having a laugh at his audience's expense, and then he has a acting role and his acting is like rubbing salt in the wound. When you finally get the first "action" sequence, it's as if he's trying to make up for the painful boredom of the first 30-45 minutes (which seemed like a LOT longer), and it is a great scene... but knowing what transpires leading up to it, in hindsight, I'd fast forward... but, then maybe that action scene wouldn't be as rewarding...
