  I thought most film buffs liked this hack. No vision. No character development. No cinematograghy to keep you awake through the boring part ... yaknow, like between the start & finish. No nada.

  Certainly, you're entitled to your opinion, although it's pretty obvious that you are about as dense as they come with respect as to what constitutes film as art.

  Had a dubious pleasure last night of watching part of the "From Dusk Till Dawn" - felt exceedingly good when turned it off. Perhaps this is his greatest strength.

    Dusk was written by Tarantino but directed by Robert Rodriguez who, in my estimation, blew it. Rodriguez is REALLY good but hasn't found quite the right vehicle since El Mariachi and Desperado.

  Absolutely with you regarding Tarantino and his movies. Besides the actor's factor there were a lot of the open plagiarism in Pulp Fiction as well..

    Kind of like you trying to be clever but coming off as shallow and predictable.

    Does plagiarism include the scene where Christopher Walken tells the story of the watch? That's a brilliant scene -- because of Walken's timing, of course. But it also seems above Tarantino's writing ability.

      Pulp fiction was a co-written film. Only Tarrantino can tell you which bits are his or his partners.

      Either way, Pulp Fiction was a better film than Forrest Gump(though I really liked it) and should have won best picture...the other worthy films that year were the Shawshank Redemption and Quiz Show.
