    Director - Quentin Tarantino

    Quentin Tarantino

    I have to say his films are great. Pulp Fiction and Resevoir Dogs are unreal, but True Romance was quality as well. Dusk till Dawn was great up to Salma Hayek scene, then it went 'vampire' which if you like that was actually done fairly well i suppose. Jackie Brown was very well done as well.

    Is he doing anything else soon? Kill Bill was the last i heard of him.
    The SFAI are the governing body for grassroots football in Ireland, not the FAI. Its success or the lack of is all down to them.

    Death Proof was out last year, and didn't do well at all.
    Next up is inglorious *******s, a WW2 film he's been working on forever

      Used to like him a lot, up til and including Jackie Brown I thought his films were excellent, particularly liked the storyline for True Romance (I know he didn't direct it). He's let all the fanboy praise go to his head though, Kill Bill was fun, but thats all, Deathproof I haven't watched but I've heard it's ****e

        He directed episodes of ER and CSI in the past. Had his trademark all over them.

          He has gone downhill since Jackie Brown. Hopefully he gets round to making the Vega brothers movie he used to mention but its doubtful.

            Yeah he seems to be on the decline, Since Pulp fiction each of his films seems to have gotten a bit worse, his last one Deathproof wasn't great, had its moments and I actually thought Kurt Russell was very good in it but overall it was only alright

              He's still relatively young for a Director.

              It'd be nigh on impossible to maintain the standard, originality and impact that "Dogs" and "Pulp Fiction" had. They are both classics of the genre.

              I'd imagine he'll have a few more great films left in him.

                the best thing he done was cast Samuel L Jackson saw Pulp fiction again the other night that was the last good film he made and even then if he didnt cast such good actors it would have died on its arse, kill bill was terrible watch kung fu hussle and you will see what he was trying to do but failing miserably.

                  Great director, although any time I've seen an interview, he comes across as a tosser.

                  Great, great dialogue in his early films. I think his films have got a little bit pretentious recently.

                    Wached Pulp Fiction again on BBC2 the other night and I'd nearly forgotten how good it is. I love the scene where Bruce Willis' character is picking out a weapon after he escapes from the hillbilly. He sees the hammer, the bat, the chainsaw and then he knows he's struck gold when he finds the sword....absolutely classic

                      Pulp Fiction still holds up really well & always worth watching a bit of when catch on tv. Jackie Brown is very good too in more low key manner. Never really got into Reservoir Dogs...

                        In fairness you could say that about any film, can't think of one good film played by ****ty actors, one thing I've always liked about Tarantino is that he doesn't automatically go for the current flavour of the month A-list actor, also I thought Jackie Brown was pretty good and wouldn't agree Pulp fiction was his last good film.

                        Anyway rumur has it his next film may be a film about the Vega brothers starring John Travolta and Michael Madsen, apparently Mr Blonde and Vincent Vega were brothers

                          looks like that film idea has been abandoned: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Vega_Brothers
                          Tarantino stated that it's "looking unlikely" and that he probably will not make the film because "everyone is older now"
                          and his next film will more than likely be Inglorious *******s: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Inglorious_*******s
                          On June 21, 2008, Tarantino confirmed that "Inglorious *******s" was his "next project" and that he had just finished the script and planned to have the film ready for Cannes in 2009
                          At the 2008 Cannes Film Festival, Tarantino said "if all goes well" that he would premiere Inglorious *******s at the Cannes festival in 2009

                            Inglorious B*stards is supposed to be shaping up for a two-parter again. Deathproof went way over length (the missing reel idea was entirely necessary to keep the double bill from becoming a marathon), and Kill Bill needed to be cut into two. He's gotten bloated and egotistical in his filmmaking. Someone needs to smack him around the head and tell him to make a 90 minute film that actually comes in at under two hours.
