Reservoir Dogs is one of his? I think I've seen that one.

Well, you're stretching it a bit. But the point is that I find this portrayal of characters who gain an identity through violence really sad and banal.

So you dislike violent characters? I guess a movie filled with violent characters is probably not your cup of tea.

There a better argument than "Tarantino sucks".

You probably thought that if one were to see a Tarantino movie one would never mistake it for anything else, right?

That's how memorable he is.

The two are the same.

Believe it or not I'm not doing this on purpose. I'm perplexed by this Achilles heel of yours, so fragile. Everything else is fine but Tarantino movies, you just don't mess with that topic.

Tarantino movies (other than Inglorious Basterds - you can have a go at that if you want, haven't watched Django yet) and the first two Faith No More albums

Other than violence, what is the common denominator between Kill Bill & Reservoir Dogs? They share nothing in common other than that.

Explain what you're trying to say.

What I am speaking of is the director's style, as in the way a film is shot, how drama is created via a medium (usually violence), and how the plot is moved forward (dialogue driven). That's consistent throughout every one of his films.

Reservoir Dogs is a Noir film with drama created by violence (the bank robbery, cop torture, etc) and moved forward with dramatic dialogue.

Kill Bill is a revenge film with drama created by violence (the "death" of the bride and her revenge) and move forward with dramatic dialogue.

Oh and both use non linear plot as a mechanism. The major difference (other than plot) between the two films is genre, which isn't style.

Ah you're lucky. No idea what Faith No More is.

Yeah, I messed up the distinction between style and genre. Need to improve my English

That's as bad as not liking them. Go listen!

Hm yes, the latter. So?

I think Basterds was his best.

Anyway. I think they're entertaining reminders of cinematic past.

This stuff?

Wut, it's my least favorite. Weird

Damn, you went straight for the good stuff

you can tell a movie was made by tarantino simply by looking at trailers or posters for it imo (that's if his name is omitted, smartasses )

 

[JCK]

Aah the famous Martin-Tarantino debate. I think I've witnessed that at least three times during my stay here.

 

[Enron]

Hm yes, the latter. So?

Just wondering.

I think Taxi Driver is pointless. It's my Pulp Fiction from you're viewpoint.
