Quentin Tarrantino film

[Yellow Fang]

That new Quentin Tarrantino film, Django Unchained, or whatever looks quite good. As the Independent review puts it, it will probably be a lot better than Spielberg's Lincoln biopic. Both deal with American slavery.

What do we wet, woolly, nice, liberal, citizens-of-the-world think of Tarrantino these days? Reservoir Dogs is still my favourite film of his.

I'm partial to a bit of Tarrantino. Inglorious was a masterpiece, not only for some superb acting but the way Mr T builds the suspense with seemingly inconsequential scenes and conversations.

Reservoir Dogs is also my favourite.

Reservoir Dogs is about the best American remake I have seen. Pulp Fiction: brilliant. I don't think he's made a good movie since (Django Unchained may prove me wrong on that)

 

[Cletus Van Damme]

I liked his earlier films, Jackie Brown and Pulp Fiction were my favourites. I really did not care much for those Kill Bill films and I thought that Inglorious Basterds was absoultely dire. Not sure I will bother with his latest film as the last few have been disappointing (well for me anyway).

Surely you mean 'friggin hobbits'?

I like all of 'em and would find it hard to put them in any kind of order... although Death Proof would be last, not because it's bad, but because it's not supposed to be good.

Death Proof is my least favourite Tarrantino film. I didn't like him wasting those pretty ladies.

Django looks like a pretty damn awesome return to form. I'm sure Daniel Day Lewis is amazing as Lincoln, but the film is dishonest in its presentation of history (and precisely because it looks all historical) in a way that, for all that it is a fantasy, Django is not: Django is all about taking revenge against a real history of racism; Lincoln is a whitewash.

I liked 'Iron Fist' and 'Jackie Brown'

Even though he did not direct the film, he only wrote it, I would have to say True Romance.

The scene between Dennis Hopper and Christopher Walken is widely regarded as one of the best pieces of screenplay ever written - even the director Tony Scott knew better than to try and ad lib or change it.

One of my top 5 overall favourite films. Just brilliant.

Of the ones he's directed, he might as well have stopped after Jackie Brown for me.

Read the review of it in the guardian and then was looking forward to seeing it at the cinema this weekend....but nooo, the damn thing isn't released until the 18th of January

I quite liked Jackie Brown. It was slower than his previous two, but I liked the way you thought it was about something, but really it was about something else.
