    Kurosawa was known to be a super demanding perfectionist prick but who gives a fuck. That is what takes to make great movies.

    hehe

    in one sequence in Ran he basically locked a poor unsuspecting cameraman in a burning bamboo castle with no notice.

    That is crazy talk.

    You might as well choose, like, Killing Zoe or something if you want to come up with something nonsensical and pithy like that.

    ok, "only great" is excessively rude.

    but Antonio Banderas delivers one of my favorite among his performances, and Tarantino's cameo is not as grating as usual... to me that's pretty much his best showing.

    I honestly don't remember any of his cameos since Pulp Fiction (which was a whole lot too much and I agree that his manic overacting is grating even in small quantities).

    Hahaha awesome. I think also for Ran he made them rebuild an entire castle because they used the wrong kind of nails.

    Tarintino gets shit because he's basically girl talk who acts as if he were beethoven.

    podly you don't really think that do you?

    I think he's a self-aggrandizing, pompous prick who gets most of his inspiration directly from your standard postmodern blend of auter-homage and low-culture kitschery. Don't get me wrong, I greatly enjoy Tarintino flicks. But I personally can't stand the man, and I get annoyed by the praise that he gets for blatantly using shots and devices of other directors.

    okay so you don't really think that.

    I don't feel the same as you but I have no issue with that outlook. calling him girl talk, maybe I misunderstood, but seemed like less than what I actually expected you to think of him.

    girl talk is a pretty big insult
    really he isn't meriting of that kind of insult.... but he is a pretty self aggrandizing douchebag. cameo in every movie? come on....

    he's not in inglorious basterds

    and I don't know that just doesn't bother me I guess.

    I know a lot of people it doesn't bother, I'm just fussy I guess :)

    I feel like being a director and also having a cameo in a movie isn't really that egotistical. If they like acting, why not? They're directing the movie. Being a bad actor and putting yourself in every movie you direct is something else.

    Hitchcock would never do something like that.

    tarantino:hitchcock::heineken:something better

    someone bought me reservoir dogs for christmas at my office this year... seriously. mistakenly believing that I am a big tarantino fan or something....

    Well considering that Hitchcock is on the short list of like the five greatest film directors of all time
    of all time

    It's still pretty high praise for Tarantino to be in the same sentence with him. I mean let's cede that Tarantino is no Akira Kurosawa and compare him to his contemporaries. Who do we have?

    Fincher. Singer. Wes Anderson. PT Anderson. Gilliam. The Coens. Michael Bay. Todd Zolens. James Cameron. uhhh that Mormon dude who hates humans...

    I mean he stacks up pretty well IMO.

    He's not really terrible, either. Plus he never has a big part. If he starred in it and directed it, that makes me think he's kind of a douche. But he doesn't.
