I thought Deadwood was Todd's favorite drama. Huh.

That's totally valid, and you're right: Everyone, in some way or another, steals. But, my argument is that Tarantino does it blatantly, poorly, and without remorse. Paul Thomas Anderson copies, but he spins them into something unique, and he makes great films from them. Tarantino copies, but he does it shamelessly,…

Much appreciated. I didn't realize how off-topic this discussion got from the original article. R.I.P. to a blues legend.

Remember the bar scene in Inglourious Basterds? Hugo Stiglitz has a quick 10-second flashback where he's tied to a pole, being whipped, before the film cuts back to the bar.

I would go as far as to say that Jackie Brown is Tarantino's best film. It was his most un-Tarantino film, all things considered. (i.e. it had the least amount of violence in comparison to any of his other work.) But, it was also his most intimate, with the romance between Jackie and Max being the most human…

The first five episodes of "True Detective," were great, but I strongly feel that the show lost its way, and left on a decent note. Once the case took center-stage, my interest warred. Episodes 6-8 were a grind.

I would've selected "So Did The Fat Lady," to represent Louie. Shame it got knocked off so quickly. Oh well.

I'd love to take wagers on the estimated number of seasons this show will have. I'm going with ten, but that might be generous.
