OMG I hate Quentin Tarantino so much right now.

the Jackie Brown beginning was one of my favorite scenes of all time and I it turns out it's A CARBON COPY OF THE OPENING SCENE OF THE GRADUATE!!!!!!!!!!!


FOR FUCK'S SAKE, this whole man's cinematic career is one big re hash.


I HATE MYSELF for ever liking his movies.

You know, Tarantino does unashamedly take inspiration from so many other films, that you can't really hate him for it. It's just the way he does films.

Hey, as long as he acknoledges the fact that hes borrowing from someone else's work, there shouldn't be a problem. It's not as if he's stealing it, and taking all the credit. It's just his way of paying tribute to his favorite filmmakers. With that said, Grindhouse was a total surprise to me, i enjoyed that thing SO much! I cannot WAIT for the DVD! I hope it'll be out sometime around my Birthday, in October! If not, then at least before the end of the year. Which reminds me, I need to pick up that Jackie Brown DVD again.

it's the same thing like M. Night Shyamalan appearing in all his movies. Yes, it's his "schtick" and a tribute to Hitchcock but it sucks.

And so does Tarantino, and his movies don't come close to the movies he's paying "tribute" too and it's so predictable.

Golly. The irony of someone Madge-mad hating QT for not being original. You have to laugh.

P.S. People have been watching and making movies for over a century now. There's very little left to do that could be construed as "original" (and no, CGI tricks don't count). Tarantino deserves a lot of credit for finding a way around that problem.

I just KNEW soemone would come up with Madonna in here.

And no, as long as there is people like Stephen Daldry putting out something like The Hours, or Sofia Coppola with Marie Antoinette, or Almodovar and all his fucking filmography, he doesn't deserve any credit at all.

People really should just stop worshipping him as the best thing that happened to cinema since Citizen Kane, because that's just bullshit.

Forget about wether you like the movies I mentioned or not, they are new, they are fresh and they are original.

OMG but The Hours is SO TOTALLY copied from the book with the same name!

If no one saw the sarcasm, you're all autistic.

Kind of off topic, but I'm so so SO fucking pissed that Grindhouse didn't get released here (Australia) and if/when it ever does, it's going to be split into the two separate films. I like to bitch about this whenever I'm presented with an opportunity.

Thank you, carry on.

To be honest though, when they're split in two parts, they're longer.
Grindhouse: 191 minutes, edited (Canadian) version 189 minutes.
Death Proof: 113 minutes, edited (American) version 90 minutes.
So it's not all bad.....

If I ever meet Daldry, I shall destroy him with my menacing glare for his lack of originality.

She is a bullseye. Marilyn Monroe, anyone?

BTW, you're just pissy because he's famous for his rehashes and other people never even get off the ground with their new shit. Get over it. His old shit is a lot better than most of the new shit coming out nowadays.

And another BTW, fucking duh the opening was a rip off, anyone doing any mild research into the film whatsoever would know that.

That graduate scene has been rehashed in a million other movies/tv shows/ cartoons even. Why is it heinous if Quentin does it and not all the others?

I know, I can't wait myself! I'd date that movie, seriously.

Back to HighClassHo, you are wrong here, in my opinion. Tarantino is a very talented and amazing writer/director. If you don't like it, don't watch. It's not like he hides the fact that he borrows from his favorite movies. And seriously, this coming from a Madonna fan.
