tarantinoism 

noun: the urge to have long intense dialog with others followed with an explosive episode of violence.
I got into an argument with that white supremacist from Kansas City the other day about how his ideology was assinine. He must have been so distraught over our conversation that he apparently developed tarantinoism and went out a shot up a Jewish Senior Center

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.

Tarantinogasm 

When you cum in a chick and don’t say anything for 10 minutes. Then, you tell her all about it for the next 40 minutes while you go limp and she gets depressed.
Yo bitch, I just had a tarantinogasm; get off and get some popcorn, I got a story for ya.

Fogey/fogy /fougi/ sl. (early 18C+, orig. Scot) old-fashioned, stuck-in-the mud.
Person with old fashioned ideas which he is unwilling to change: Come to the disco and stop being such an old fogey!
You think me an old fogeyand an old tory, his thoughtful voice said. I saw three generations since O’Connel’s time. I remember the famine. Do you know that the orange lodges agitated for repeal of the union twenty years before O’Connel did or before the prelates of your communion denounced him as a demagogue? You fenians forget some things. (James Joyce, Ulysses. Penguin Books,1992. p. 38)
