In Reply to: Re: Tarantino's comeback -- film history is not correct posted by Doug Schneider on October 03, 2002 at 07:41:49:
I'm well aware that Tarantino wrote but did not direct "From Dusk 'Til Dawn" and "True Romance" and that he only acted in "Four Rooms" (if you can call his egomanicial posturing "acting" -- his performance should win the academy award for "single most self-indulgent piece of crap by a Hollywood Wunderkind"). Like many writers he had three good scripts in him -- with many elements recycled among them -- and he has now fallen into self-parody (I consider Jackie Brown to be a witless re-hash of the characters and violent situations he used in his earlier films to such good effect).Maybe "Kill Bill" will prove me wrong (although I doubt it - even the title is lacking in charm or wit) but I consider Tarantino a has-been who is more concerned with securing a fat paycheck, dating 19 year old hotties and getting his face in People Magazine than crafting another Pulp Fiction.
Follow Ups:
My understanding is that he actually directed one part of "Four Rooms."Tarantino is an awful actor, but is an outstanding writer and director. He's made three movies, all good, and is working on another -- hard to label him a has-been for that!
Doug Schneider
for setting the record straight on how many films the young master has directed. "Jackie Brown" was a masterwork which excelled as a love story, action, and suspense flick. One of the few movies in years that warranted a second or third viewing. If for nothing else than to be reminded of DeNiro's artistry, it was worth seeing.
