Tarantino is so very overrated. I like the first Kill Bill movie, but that's it.

[(Anonymous)]

He is overrated but I still love Jackie Brown.

+1

[(Anonymous)]

He's a really, really talented director whose style doesn't really move me.

Inglorious Basterds I did love though.

[philstar22]

I think most of his movies are very samey. So I think he's an okay direction, but not nearly as amazing as people make him out to be.

[(Anonymous)]

I agree with this as well. Once you've seen one you've basically seen them all. I also feel like I loved his stuff when I was a teen or early 20s but now I look at them and all it is is gore and language and shock value stuff. I mean if you like that kind of style then yeah he's great, but I dunno about the pedestal people like to put him up on.

[(Anonymous)]

Hard agree.

[tabaqui]

Same. I liked 'From Dusk 'Til Dawn' way back in the day, but pretty everything that came after either looked boring ( and turned out to BE boring, to me), or was just so full of grossness, gore, and general blech that there was nothing left to enjoy.

[(Anonymous)]

NA - Yeah, I've only seen maybe half of his movies, but of the ones I've seen, From Dusk Til Dawn is the only one I have an odd soft spot for--and I only watched it for the first time a few years ago. It's a chimera of a movie and there's something I find so fascinating about that. It utilizes QT's propensity for grit and seediness and gore and schlock in a way that I find engaging and, weirdly, fun. (I say 'weirdly' because I'm not usually into any of those things.)

It also doesn't hurt that I get the ultra atmospheric credit's song ("It's a daaarrrk night") stuck in my head for like half of every October.

In my personal and subjective opinion, Star Wars really isn't best served by people who are stylists and formalists, which is what both Tarantino and Anderson are. It's best served by people with wild, shaggy, infinitely productive ideas who don't care about style or form (there's probably a technical term for the antithesis of formalists but I don't remember what it is).

So I, personally, would not be very interested in seeing either of them take on Star Wars, although I'd be super interested in either of them doing an original sci fi IP.

[(Anonymous)]

I don't think I would go for either, though for a different sensibility, David Lynch would definitely make an interesting film, but it would be so damn weird, it might not get released. For other directors that I like, well. There's David Fincher, but I think all of the stuff that goes along with a Star Wars movie would drive him spare. James Cameron's ego would probably preclude him from doing one. Kathryn Bigelow might be a good choice.

[(Anonymous)]

Lucas actually offered Return Of The Jedi to Lynch! And it would have been way better than the one we got imo. Or at least more interesting.

But in general, that's exactly the kind of filmmaker who should make Star Wars content - a person with big, weird ideas and an Americana sensibility. Of course he wouldn't be good at it now. But if he could have made a Star Wars movie at the point where it was early enough in his career that you could force him to make something populist and entertaining, it would be amazing.

The two filmmakers I would most want to see a Star Wars project from would be John Carpenter (albeit it'd have to be when he was in his prime, he's not working anymore) and Sam Raimi

[philstar22]

Stong disagree on it being better. ROTJ is my favorite SW movie. And I don't think I've liked a single thing Lynch has done. I can't imagine him being able to make a Star Wars movie that was actually Star Wars.

[(Anonymous)]

Hm - have you ever seen his version of Dune? I wouldn't call it a great movie but it's very enjoyable IMO - the biggest problems with it are that the special effects are utter crap and the script had too much story for a single movie, neither of which would be an issue for ROTJ.

Also to be clear I do like ROTJ! I just think Lynch's version would be better and more interesting.

[philstar22]

Yes, I've seen it. It is interesting as a film, but terrible as an adaption. As a fan of the book, not particularly a fan of his attempt at adaption that really isn't much of an adaption at all.

[(Anonymous)]

I feel like having George Lucas sitting on him would help with keeping it on point, though - and also, I think a lot of the reason that Dune wasn't great as an adaptation is because, well, adapting Dune into a single Hollywood movie is straight-up impossible.

But fair enough anyway!

I thought the MF was retiring from directing.

[(Anonymous)]

He says he's gonna do 10 films in his career and he's only done 9 (Kill Bill counts as 1, not 2)

[(Anonymous)]

Aha! TY, nonny.

Nope

[(Anonymous)]

That sounds like the only way to get a Star Wars movie worse than TLJ.
