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.

The most deranged, infantile, misogynistic sociopath ever to walk to the face of the earth. There is a fine line between violent serial killer and genius, and this man was saved from a lifestyle of perversity by a couple of pretentious movies which base their success from confusing stupid film snobs into thinking his movies are "artistic expression" and by satisfying America's need for blood and destruction.

One egotistical muthufucker.

The greatest director to appear in the nineties, and one of the greatest all-time. Tho he has few films out, they are all kick ass. Spike Lee said hes racist.

A very good director. My 2nd favorite, next to Martin Scorsese. Writes very good dialogue. Some people say he just steals other people's ideas. Well he may do that, but he makes his movies 1000 times better. So shut the fuck up already assholes.
