Quentin Tarantino defends Roman Polanski

[Streathamite]

I would agree, btw, with all those who say Tarantino is a prize bellied.
Unfortunately, I can't help but regard him as a talented film director. Yes, I enjoy his films.

Earlier stuff was good but after Kill Bill it's all gone a bit downhill.

All his recent films have featured a clear-cut 'you just fucked up your own movie' moment. The voiceover in Hateful Eight, the Mel Brooks Ku Klux Klan scene in Django Unchained, the machine-gunning of Hitler in Inglourious Basterds. Sometimes total creative freedom is a curse, not a blessing.

It's more just the length of his films and that he's too in love with his own words to edit them down to a decent length. I thought Basterds was very entertaining, but those westerns were utterly tedious - just glad I watched them at home rather than in a cinema.

I'm quite intrigued to see what he'll do with The Manson Family for his next film

And who will play Polanski.

Seems I'm in a minority in rating Django Unchained and Inglorious Basterds. Use of the N word in the former was systematic and had a clear point - it's the only word used by the white slave owners to refer to black people, and it serves to dehumanise those saying it, to make them deserving of death in the morality of the film. Thought that was well done. And I have no problem at all with rewriting history for IB. Why the hell not?

This made me laugh the other day.

It's not the "rewriting history" that's the problem with IB, it's the fact that the movie is an overlong, often poorly written, bad cobbling together of three and half different films

He ends up dying in prison

 

[Santino]

He ends up dying in prison

Yes, but what's going to happen in the film?

Yes, but what's going to happen in the film?

Someone will say the N word. A lot.
