I’ll go first. Mine is that I can’t stand the Deadpool movies. They are self aware and self referential to an obnoxious degree. It’s like being continually reminded that I am in a movie. I swear the success of that movie has directly lead to every blockbuster having to have a joke every 30 seconds

    I enjoy Tarantino movies. It all boils down to: are they solid fun entertainment or not, and to me the answer is yes.

    Someone else did it better elsewhere? Sure, and he is very forthcoming about his influences. So if you’re a fan, you’ll likely find his sources and enjoy those too. Win win.

      Oh, don’t get me wrong. You’re not wrong to enjoy them. They’re still fun to watch.

      It’s just that IME they’re less ‘great’ if you’ve watched a lot of the movies they’re based on.

      Also, Tarantino is an excellent stepping stone to discovering some great stuff. He’s a true film nerd, so he knows his movies.

      I would love to spend a night with him, sitting together at a kitchen table, him constantly ranting about movies and giving anecdotes, me pouring more wine…

      I think this is the beauty of Tarantino.
