Tell me, in detail, exactly how you really feel about Quentin Tarantino and his films.

My answer:

You again. I think Tarantino is not a good film director. Yeah, there are some funny or interesting moments but overall they aren’t good films. Most of his stuff is derived from other film makers. I’m no prude but the gratuitous nature of most of the dialogue is boring. Everyone always says the same thing, “but what about Reservoir Dogs?” Yeah, fine, I like that one. Pulp Fiction is a series of vignettes. It doesn’t hold up as a feature film. I think he’s over-rated. I mean, put him up against Tarkovsky, or Bergman, or Peckinpah to name but just a few disparate directors, and he doesn’t hold a flame. His technique is unoriginal and predictable.
