Wherever I go, whenever I talk films with people, the split second I say I'm not really a Tarantino fan, I'm automatically ostracized, almost stoned to death. I've met like 2 people who think it's alright that I'm not a Tarantino fan. So I'd like to ask the rest of you - is it really so wrong NOT to be a fan of Quentin Tarantino? People say that they don't like Steven Spielberg but they don't get treated like crap for it; if anything, they're usually praised for it, from what I've seen.
I'd like a qui-gon jinn please with an obi-wan to go.

I do like Quentin, but you can tell he like anime a ton. And references it alot in his films. The sword ordeal gave me that thought.

Kill Bill: total worthless commercial audience pandering shit.
as you can see i am not a big fan of Tarentino, although I am glad he helped release HERO.

Most of his non-directorial stuff is pretty abysmal though.

And the sound effects! He has the most weird choice of sound for his movies. Like in Kill Bill 2, where Uma throws the trailer door open to kill that one dude (I forget his name). When she threw the door open it made this weird sound effect, I can't explain it...but it wasn't a sound a door made when swung open.
Quentin has a weird way of shooting car shots in front of a bluescreen. Tarantino kind of pulls the camera back away from the car, as if he WANTED the audience to know the backdrop was fake. Kind of weird.
But he sure is different.

Also, Quentin Tarantino is the coolest name EVER. It even beats Yassar Arafat.

I though "Four Rooms" was a horrible bore and Jackie Brown was average at best. It was sad to watch Pam grier doing the promo for that film thinking she was going to have a Travolta-like comeback only to watch her go back to direct-to-video films a year later.
I do not think Tarantino has a very large body of work to go by and appears to be the type you either enjoy greatly or are indifferent towards.
