    He's a director. I think he's made five films in his career although maybe he's up to six.

    He's hyper.

    He likes music.

    He's a shitty actor.

    He has a small penis.

    It's very dangerous in our modern society to show focused enthusiasm and passion. It might be interpreted as a mental disease

    he is an amazing guy who just likes to have fun

    he isnt crazy i think hes brilliant at what he does

    ok not a brilliant actor but not the worst (that will go to De Niro)

    he directs amazing and wanderful films, pulp fiction being amoungst the best film ever, reseviovr dogs being the best ever

    I like his movies because they aren't boring. He's odd, but what Hollywood person isn't. And he has a foot fetish, so he can't be all bad.

    I think he's the most overrated director in Hollywood. His movies say nothing about anything, and are visual trash with "hip" lines that serve little purpose and don't advance the plot an iota.

    and with that he nailed down an important part of popular culture, and hence he is brilliant.

    I loved Reservoir Dogs and Pulp Fiction. I also really liked True Romance which he wrote but didn't direct. Dust till Dawn was pretty good too. But I wasn't too impressed by his latest movie (Kill Bill 1 and 2).

    Peckinpah, Kubrick, Scorsese for teh win.

    He doesn't have balls to be like Dario Argento or Takashi Miike, although he desperately wants that in his recent work.

    He is different, yes, but he doesn't posses quality. He lacks ideas recently as well.

    'Four Rooms' is his best work, but what I dislike is too much dialogue in his movies.

    Fincher and Nolan are real daddies of modern American movie. Not Tarantino.
    He belongs to the margins of safe and comfortable mainstream.

    I think you're equating success with brilliance. He's obviously been successful. But brilliant? No way...

    No, his movies could have remained cult classics and they would still have nailed down aspects of the American society.

    Exactly, what aspects of American society do his films "nail down?"

    I still maintain he's extremely overrated, and I tend to think most of the people who drool over his suspect body of work are movie geeks who should have gone to film school (and didn't) and people who mistake what's "cool" with what's art. Again, Tarantino's films say nothing. They have scant plots, too much dialogue and are filled with juvenile hyperbole and foolishness. I, for one, am tired of him (and the fan-boyish hype that surrounds him). And I yearn for the day when he won't be given millions of dollars to waste celluoid on good-looking girls who have machine guns for legs.

    He visits small, independent cinemas 1000s of miles from home to talk about what he loves: films.

    His films aren't breath-takingly original it's true but they're well-made and done out of love. The film world is a lot better with him than without.

    I don't think so. I think his last flop, with the chick with the machine gun leg, was an abortion of a movie, which is why no one but his mindless acolytes saw it and enjoyed it. I think Kill Bill was an abortion of a movie. Pulp Fiction and Reservoir Dogs are "good" movies, but they in no way deserve the lavish adoration and critical send-ups they constantly receive from the fan-boys and other popcorn devotees. Having cool soundtracks and filming the back of a person's head or a long winded conversation about foot massages isn't art and it isn't really notable.
