Tarrantino Tidbit

[Pathogen-]

I can't stand the guy, but he's got talent (squandered by his last movies, but still)

 

I just found out that Tarrantino had a long movie script that was split into two movies....he sold the script for the lowest amount of money you were allowed, $50k. This money went to fund Reservoir Dogs.

 

This cheaply bought script became two of my favorite movies:

True Romance

Natural Born Killers

 

 

 

kinda interesting ya?

[Chili327]

I dont know why you wouldn't like him..!? (except that its you so that explains it)

 

He is a genious.!

Has he ever made a bad movie.? (not one that you didn;t like so much but a BAD movie)

[Rage75]

I loved four rooms.

[GeneralWar]

Pulp Fiction was a great movie

[Pathogen-]

yeah...

 

death proof

grindhouse

jackie brown

 

[Guest deltron0]

death proof was part of grindhouse.

[Pathogen-]

you sure? i thought they were part of planet terror. either way, anything under any of those 3 titles suck

[Guest Stealthknight]

I liked Jackie Brown. Not a huge fan of Grindhouse but not because it was bad. Im just not into movies of that era and you have to remember he was trying to resemble the movies from the double feature drive in theater days.

yeah...

 

death proof

grindhouse

jackie brown

 

You're saying these we're all BAD movies..?

I knew he wrote both those movies, but I didn't realize they were originally the same script. Thanks for the tidbit. Deathproof was the only movie of his I didn't care for. For the record Robert Rodriguiz did Planet terror, not Quentin. The feature was called Grindhouse, the two movies were Planet Terror and Death Proof.

 

Four rooms was 4 different directors also. Quentin's room was the last room that was a remake of the old wager episode of Alfred Hitchcock or one of the others.

lol I"m a movie buff who will watch ANYthing. I've watched American Ninja like 10x's, hell...I watched Gymkata like 6 times. I love bad movies.

 

But I had to really force myself to sit and watch Grindhouse. both movies were a struggle. It was over the top, boring, and the effects were an homage to mid-eighties zombie effects it seemed like. Waste of time for me

 

But then people look at me like I"m nuts when I say Dumb and Dumber was a stupid movie

[Pathogen-]

oh, and while it wasn't necessarily BAD persay...I thought Kill Bil vol 2 was a letdown after the hopped up Vol 1. The "boss" fights were kind of like how they are in a video game..built up, but ultimately a disappointment. Vol 1 set a fast pace, and Vol 2 just seemed to lag after it

[Guest deltron0]

kill bill vol 2 was worse because the rza didn't score it. he only scored the first one.

and now you get it............. i hope -- Grindhouse movies where always like that --- you can go to Worst Buy and get a whole buncha grindhouse type movies

[Pathogen-]

i get it, and i get that those are the movies tarrantino spent hours watching...but that doesn't make 'em good movies lol

[GeneralWar]

overall he's still a good director though

[Pathogen-]

oh yeah for sure, the man has a vision and the balls to carry it out. I think that sets him apart from all the directors who play it safe these days

[GeneralWar]

Yeah other directors are worried about their image
