... the "70's grindhouse Asian martial arts movies" that Tarantino watched as an (apparently) very disturbed and bored teenager. I don't get it. What the hell are "grindhouse movies" and why would I want to see an homage to them?I guess we can all be glad that Tarantino didn't spend part of his youth watching 60's industrial training films or army instructional shorts on hygiene otherwise we'd get "homages" to them as well, with the critics still raving over the technical brilliance of the filmmaking.
Perhaps one could arrange ABBA songs as a suite for full symphony orchestra and convince the Berlin Philharmonic to perform it. But why? It would still be garbage. Then, as a topper, imagine if the orchestra stopped playing halfway through the suite and asked that you return in 4 months to hear the rest.
Pulp Fiction was OK. But it just blows my mind that people are falling for this crap.
Follow Ups:
And falling hard we are!Why would you want to see a homage to them? First, some people may actually like them. Second, go see it and then comment and maybe you'll know -- and even it you don't, you'll still be making more informed statements.
