Tarantino is like a 3rd grader making collages out of other people's pictures. Maybe he'll grow up some day.

Sometimes a 3rd grader can be more creative than an adult due to less learned constraints. Art is most often creating from, and being inspired by others work... so he's doing it right. His movies are very identifiable as Tarantino movies, so he's obviously bringing something to the table.

brah, art is made by everyone sampling eachother. it's a communal affair

Come on guys, it's not like ulysses1904 hasn't had a bevy of accomplishments of his/her own. Why, I remember the other day seeing one of his/her sculptures in an art gallery and in addition to being totally grown up, it was 100% original: not a shred of derivative inspiration.

So take that, you naysayers! I'm what you'd call a fan of his/her work.

20 years ago I raved about Reservoir Dogs and Pulp Fiction to anyone who would listen. But his one-note style of mashing up other films' scenes and music (as a tribute-parody-homage-sly reference-injoke-Easter egg, etc) has gotten as stale as any other form of sampling.

But I guess he will always have his Beliebers or Taran-teenies, or whatever they're called.

So you're reducing anyone who enjoys Tarantino's movies into a screaming fanatic? That's bonkers yo.

While we're stating opinions as obvious global fact, Jackie Brown is his masterpiece.

No, not at at all. That was directed at shuac and his over-the-top reaction to my criticism of Tarantino.

Tarrantino's mash-up samples in his flicks are the greatest homage to other director's styles as well, it's what I can appreciate about his work the most...however hackneyed or stale, he mutates enough to stay on the grid, he's frikkin' full-blown and always will be the crazed genius.
Oh, and Jackie Brown kicks ass-

Tell to RIAA, MPAA and all the acta/sopa/pipa supporters.. For them it's very much a business affair and each work of art, every color, every rhythm and every word should be copyrighted. My artist inside says BS, i do what ever i like even if only one person ever hears or sees the results.

Art was doing great until 50s. Since, everything is getting harder and more protected. Art does not thrive on profit driven world. And we as a global community will never reach peace until our artists are free to communicate.

yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah /bono
