As I was reading this, the national news had a story on this film being cancelled.
So I hope that means his next film won’t be his last…
Two kids - a son and a daughter, age four and one.
Noooooo!! That’s one genre I never watch, and I love QT and his work.
Well, he did write Natural Born Killers
I just want him to keep making movies. He is one of the few directors that gets people to go out and specifically seek his work. I’d rank his current movies like this:
- Inglorious Basterds
- Pulp Fiction
- Kill Bill 1 and 2
- Django Unchained
- Once Upon a Time in Hollywood
- Reservoir Dogs
- The Hateful Eight
- Jackie Brown
- Death Proof
Of those, 7-9 are movies I did not like and would give negative reviews to. 1-6 range from amazing to good.
I must have missed that in my brief gogle. Thanks for the correction.
My rankings are so different!
- Kill Bill 1
- Pulp Fiction
- Reservoir Dogs
- Jackie Brown
- Kill Bill 2
- Inglorious Basterds
- Death Proof
- Once Upon a Time … in Hollywood*
- Django Unchained
- The Hateful Eight
*Docked one spot for the egregious ellipses in the title.
Noooooooooooooo! I love his movies! 
And he co-wrote It’s Pat.
Wow.
- Pulp Fiction
- Jackie Brown
- Reservoir Dogs
- Kill Bill 1 and 2
- Django Unchained
- Once Upon a Time in Hollywood
- Inglorious Basterds
- The Hateful Eight
- Death Proof
In reality, I’d have Pulp Fiction number one, Jackie Brown number two and then all the rest tied for number three.
I’m one of the few that really did not enjoy Jackie Brown. I dunno, not my kind of movie, I guess.
Different strokes.
I love the book it was based on (Rum Punch) and the author who wrote the book (Elmore Leonard). I read Rum Punch on the beach every summer, and watch Jackie Brown every few years.
I could certainly see him following through on his plan to stop making movies and just become and éminence grise on the lecture circuit, or take an emiritus (but still getting his hands dirty with students) position at UCLA or the AFI. He’s made such a study of directors’ careers, as much as, say, Scorses has made a study of their outputs, that he likely views his idol Brian De palma as a cautionary tale. He wants to get out before he stumbles into his own Bonfire.
And I want to play, too, here are my rankings:
- Once Upon a Time…in Hollywood
- Kill Bill Volume 2
- Jackie Brown
- Inglorious Basterds
- Kill Bill Volume 1
- Reservoir Dogs
- The Hateful Eight
- Death Proof
- Pulp Fiction
- Django Unchained
I probably rate Death Proof higher than just about anyone. I know it’s complete trash, but it’s clear throughout that Tarantino also knows it’s complete trash. That doesn’t make up for its bloat, but somehow even all the excess chatter just makes it (in my eyes) the most Tarantino-ish Tarantino movie.
(Except maybe for the Kill Bill two-fer, which are both just simply better, too.)
I almost don’t count it as a proper film from him because it is kind of a fun experiment and joke. Still, it kind of sucks and not in a fun way.
Did you see Suitable Flesh from last year? It made my top 10 and is not the same, but is another attempt to make a throwback type movie. In Suitable Flesh, they made a Stuart Gordon or Brian Yuzna type movie. Successfully.
How he defines a movie is also interesting. As noted he considers Kill Bill 1 & 2 as a single movie. He has also stated that he does have plans for a 3rd installment of Kill Bill, roughly 20 years after the first two, with the same actors in their respective characters albeit aged.
Maybe he’s run out of funny ways for his characters to kill each other.
I thought almost all the characters were killed off?
I agree with you that it’s an experiment and a joke, and that it kind of sucks. But I guess I think it does suck in a fun way.
The Bride is living and so is her daughter. QT has expressed having Maya Hawke play the Bride’s daughter in the Vol. 3.
