Ooof, no. Aside from his own character in the movie, Pulp Fiction holds up very well. Reservoir Dogs and Jackie Brown are also incredible entries in the film canon. After that, things take a turn.

I have liked most Tarantino movies, but what happened to Sharon Tate is perhaps the most horrific violence against a woman imaginable and I see absolutely no need to put it up on the big screen. I am not on board.

I hear you - but it really doesn’t even seem like a Tarantino movie. It’s an uplifting feminist movie with PAM GRIER. It’s a stone-cold rendering of ‘90s LA. The script is TIGHT. There’s no porn-y gore.

He’s only made one STELLAR movie and that movie is “Jackie Brown”

I don’t get his appeal at all. Even Pulp Fiction, admittedly ground breaking at the time, hasn’t held up well at all and is embarrassing to watch now. It’s like he doesn’t even make actual movies, he just makes smug homages to obscure, crappy movies from a bygone era.

To quote Caribou Barbie:

I have visited Sacramento. I live not far from Sacramento. Sacramento is my state’s capital. Ms. Gerwig, Naples is no Sacramento.

I don’t dislike her as much as most of the people on here, but I was hoping someone would bring up the Phantom Thread comment, because it is very funny in an embarrassing way:

“Is [Day-Lewis’s character] kind of like a narcissistic sociopath and he’s like an artist so every girl falls in love with him because he makes…

I would definitely choose money. People who say to choose love over money have never had to worry about money.

For what it’s worth I liked “mother!” and thought she did a great job in it.

Or her pod malfunctioned and he had to open it to save her, or the ship malfunctioned and she had some special engineering or repair skills, etc etc etc. There were a hundred different ways to get her pod open without asking viewers to find creepy stalker behavior charming and romantic.

I appreciate the thoughtful and detailed response even if I disagree. For me, the filmmakers have the male lead do a super creepy immoral thing to a woman, but imply it’s okay because eventually she falls for him... well, it’s a pretty messed up message.

She also took a giant dump on “Phantom Thread” in the Maron interview which, whatever you think of that movie, maybe not the brightest idea to make an unforced insult of a great filmmaker? Like, the work of your fucking peers? Grow the fuck up. Also maybe you can’t make fun of a movie you just admitted you only…

Federalism, as a term, refers to a sharing of power at multiple levels. Prior to the ratification debate over the Constitution, almost everyone understood a “federal” system to be where a number of truly independent sovereign states would have an agreement to a centralized government for very limited purposes, like…

And while Lefsetz does write that Kesha may be telling the truth, he includes that it’s “sad” that her case is being tried outside of court. “Once again, a case is being tried in the press, on Twitter,”
