Tarantinoing

A screenwriting technique in which two or more characters have a conversation that has nothing to do with the plot of the movie or the current situation, but is usually added to lighten the mood, or to develop character. This method can either work to the movie's advantage, or just slow it down.

Coined by Doug Walker, AKA the Nostalgia Critic, in his review of M. Night Shyamalan's "Signs."
1. Ugh, that new M. Night Shyamalan movie was horrendous. The plot was nonsensical, the characters were dull, and there was WAY too much Tarantinoing.

2. The movie was pretty violent, but the Taratinoing lightened up the mood considerably.

tarantinoized 

1. A movie, show, or literature that has taken and processed by obfuscating the general plot by adding unnecessarily long conversations of a subject irrelevant to the plot (tarantino moments), random 70s style montages, women power that is obviously written or directed by men with a fascination with women's feet, and overrated gore and/or sex.

2. A movie, show, or literature that has had the general plot taken, and then bastardized into the form of what Quentin Tarantino believes is a great movie.
Bob - "Hey Joe! How was Inglorious Bastards?"

Joe - "Inglorious Bastards wasn't to bad. I like those old time spaghetti westerns of old wars. I can't wait to watch Tarantino's Inglorious Basterds!"

Bob - "Sweet! but just a for warning, the movie has been tarantinoized; don't expect to watch a remake. It's still good though."

Joe - "Are there subtitles?"

Bob - "More subtitles than spoken English."

Joe - "Darn. . ."

Tarantinoesque

kegdude is correct on the definition but it is a shitty word because Q.T. hasn't done anything good since 1994's Reservior Dogs. Since then his movies suck, including Pulp and especially Kill Bill(s). Q.T. was had so many ass lickers around him for so long that no one dared tell him to pare back the dialog and no one has yet. KBV1 has less dialog, but it is a fucked up movie.
That bar last night had a Tarantinoesque vibe.

Surf Dracula Syndrome 

A phenomenon in film/television series, most notably streaming series, where the main premise is drawn out to such a point that it takes an entire season or more to get the parts of the series the audience is actually interested in seeing.

For example, if a series is titled "Surf Dracula," a majority of viewers would tune in expecting to see Dracula surfing by the first or second episode. However, the entire first season would instead be tedious padding and backstory before finally ending with Dracula surfing in the last five minutes of the season finale.
I watched "Smallville" on Netflix the other day. Dude, it was ten seasons of filler before he finally flew! Major Surf Dracula Syndrome!
