Seriously Tarantino is a hack, his movies are just homages to other better movies and he lays in sarcastic and violent humor to try and make it unique.

Yeah, you've already said that thanks. Repeating your point isn't going to convince anyone. Have you ever heard a track you like, then heard a remix of that track and thought 'hey I like that even more'? How is what he does any different? I've seen many of the movies he "steals" from and I generally prefer his.
I just finished listening to an interview with him on NPR where he told Terri Gross where he got the bible speech from that Sam Jackson delivers in Pulp Fiction. He's not trying to hide anything, he just puts it in new context.
If you don't like it, fine, but don't try to paint him as unoriginal. |

The REAL question is, do intelligent people want to hang out with winston?
I can only picture him sitting in a chair he grabbed from another table, about 5 feet away from the group of actual friends, leaning in real close to attempt to hear the conversation he's not included in, while also attempting to add his 2-crackrock's worth of information, which is subsequently ignored because the group of intelligent people he's 'hanging out' with don't even know he's there. |
that could be the case :p
sorry for the you, it's just the internet, life is short, don't take it too seriously, etc...
who says I hang out with smart people? :rolleyes: |

Maybe he hasn't but basically it's true that the movie is utterly boring for a very long time. Trying so hard to be cool that it fails to be entertaining, which is no surprise given the paper-thin plot and the fact that - unlike say in Pulp Fiction - Tarantino failed to come up with anything innovative or interesting. |
Exactly my point, I dont mind watching Tarantino movies but ffs this was just a movie and boring. I highly DON'T recommend this to anyone unless they like to sit and watch a bunch of Germans have a 2 hour conversation in GERMAN. :haha: :whip: :p |

Yes, because movies involving Germans are much better done in English. |

I prefer Bollywood's 'German' productions. Nothing better than a German accent being portrayed with an Indian accent. It sounds so... pure. |
