Must watch!

Yes.

How is Quentin Tarantino going to put a camera in a car trunk scene?

Win.

I no longer have any confidence Quentin will make another Reservoir Dogs- or Pulp Fiction-caliber film, and I've made my peace with that, but I will still eagerly await every one of his new projects with fervent anticipation.

(I just hope he never descends as far down as M. Night Shyamalan.)

I'm here to say I think he will surpass those films at some point. Once he's done making homage films, he'll at some point return to awesome storytelling, IMO.

I think the phrase all the kids are using is....

Shut up and take my money!

I disagree. QT knows exactly what he is doing. Some of his films are dialog driven (Reservoir Dogs, Pulp Fiction, Jackie Brown) and some are genre and/or action driven films (True Romance, Kill Bill, Inglorious Basterds). I have no doubt he is capable of writing another Pulp, and that one day he probably will, but for now he is doing high-art pastiche of the classic exploitation dramas he grew up with. This is not to say that these action films are less good than his dialog films, they just have different aesthetic criteria.

He is much like Speilberg in this way, if polar opposites in dialog and style. Speilberg has his serious movies, and he has his homages to the serial action films of his youth.

Prediction: Eventually Quentin will eventually get his fill of action films and create another magnum opus, and likely get himself an Oscar in the process. I would absolutely love for him to take his favorite film of recent times, Battle Royale, and make an American-culture-specific version - not a remake of the film, but a remake of the concept as it would occur if it played out with American high schoolers.

Also, comparing QT to Shayamalan is blasphemy. Even Shayamalan's best work was an average film with a great twist. Shayamalan has never shown even an ounce of the writing or directing skills that QT has. Take it back. TAKE IT BACK!!1!>> ^lucky760:

Completely agree. If Quentin ever gets around to doing a horror homage, I will have died and gone to heaven. >> ^kymbos:

It's not a comparison of M. Night's work to QT's, but a comparison of how the anticipation of their newer films has waned. In M. Night's case, it has nosedived so far that people, myself included, now audibly guffaw at the "From the mind of M. Night Shyamalan" brag in trailers for his projects.

The problem with QT is not that his latest works are crap, but given the precedents he set, my expectations for greatness far exceed the quality of his latest works. I'm not at all a hater or even complainer of his latest films. In fact, I like them a lot, and I really appreciate his interpretations of bygone-era genres, but the honest truth is I walk out of his films with a tinge of disappointment.

I just need to set my expectations lower, but then I go and re-watch Reservoir Dogs or Pulp Fiction and it fouls that whole plan up.

I hope he'll someday make the Vega Brothers film that was rumored about so long ago.

I want him to do Bond. I heard a story that he had been pitching Casino Royale to the Bond powers that be for ages, and they eventually had it made but chose another director.

Damn! I've been watching out for this trailer for MONTHS, I so wanted it to be mine! I can make peace with the fact it was you who bagged it eric

Who's the suave looking Colonel Saunders look-a-like at 2:03? Kurt Russell?

WTF? Seriously? You don't want people to see the fucking trailer?

It's working for me.

I'm looking forward to this. I'm not sure why people think his best movies are behind him, I absolutely LOVED Inglorious Basterds. I thought it was wonderfully shot, had superb slow boil scenes, and one of the best bad guys ever.

Great film.

I thought Basterds was great too, maybe even his best yet, and although it had action scenes, I think it was the first time that he really nailed the dialog without it ever getting tedious or boring. Reservoir Dogs is a great movie, but I've fallen asleep to it more times than I've actually watched it.

Damn. And here I'd hoped that QT made a movie about the guitarist Django Reinhardt. But no, it's another story about outlaws and vigilantes kicking ass. Oh well.

Camera in a Wagon Luggage Trunk Scene?

I'm almost getting tired of his 70's style "Zoom in on the action" filming technique. Looks like a good movie though.

I sure hope there's a lot of blood and killing!

Don Johnson?...

I think even he knows he's lost something. Politely disagree, sir. *tip hat*
