Get the Quentin mug.Made the brilliant decision of promoting himself first. See for instance his commentary on TRUE ROMANCE, where he discusses in detail the conscious choices made in putting together his filmography. He's created a compelling public persona in the form of a tireless, foul-mouthed movie geek.
He also shamelessly loots other people's material, but given a pass, proving Van Gogh right that "an ounce of image is worth a pound of performance" (Compare with David Blaine).
To take an example at random, see for instance the famous adrenalin scene in the even more famous film PULP FICTION. As shot it is taken nearly word-for-word from a 70s Scorsese documentary on Steven Prince. Prince has all the details: medical dictionary, magic marker over the heart, the size of the needle, the jabbing motion, eyes popping open.
This is NOT homage. Homage is a way of honoring others, pedestalizing them. Tarantino is a self-promoter first. Go ahead and reference how the Duchess dances in ARISTOCATS, but taking someone else's story and shooting it almost exactly as described is just sorry.

Get the Quinton mug.Synonymous with god. Quentin is truly a ladies man despite being 5'6. commonly known for wearing socks and no pants to bed. The kind of guy you can trust despite always teasing to knowing something about everything and not sharing any of the knowledge. commonly references memes in real life, sometimes to a point to cringy to bear. his cloutfit is old-looking new sneakers, hoodies of various colors, and baggy sweatpants with glasses that could be debatedly called homosexual in shape.
"Quentin? yeah I saw him today. he t-posed for 12 minutes straight when he saw me. I counted. i was surprised he didn't hold it longer."

Get the Quinton mug.A guy that can only talk about vaginas everyday. That's the only reason why people hate him. Otherwise, hes a hella hot guy, with nice abs, but flimsy arms, and caramel brown hair, beautiful brown eyes, and all the girls secretly have a crush on him.
