It’s the line Tex says to Cliff when they break into his house and Cliff, tripping balls, realizes they are real. Tex replies, “I’m as real as a donut, motherfucker.”

I don’t get why creatives announce retirement, you never know if you will change your mind. Just stop making films until an idea comes to you? And if another idea doesn’t come to you that’s fine too.

And he’s all like “Your point?!”

So after That 70's, Kelso & Jackie broke bad by becoming Those 80's Meth Cooks ?!

This makes total sense. Tarantino is the kind of guy who is narcissistic/confident enough to write some masturbatory bullshit but also self aware enough to realize that it is bullshit and scrap it for something a little less masturbatory. And I say that as a fan.

I was born in 1987.

Chuck died in Korea,  no one wants to talk about it

My Dads a boomer and he's constantly like "fuckin Millennials" and I'm like "Dad all 4 of your children are Millennials"

That’s because, with the whole “end of history” thing, the 80s was the last decade where people could imagine a future that was meaningfully different from what we have now, instead of just “this, but increasingly worse”. Hence why there’s a greater interest in revisiting the 80s and earlier times, than the 90s and…

It certainly created the job of AI grifter.

For most of my childhood I failed to grasp that “a couple” means two. Someone would ask me for “a couple screws” and I’d bring three or four. To me it just meant “some small number” until my dad explained it to me like “a married couple.” I remember I tried to argue with him and then was just like “huh, he’s right.”

Wrong again, Miriam Webster is my very intelligent neighbor. She told me her definition over several cups of tea (we each had three). 

Because most (not all, but most) of “the other jobs” were either dangerous, menial, disgusting, or any combination of the three.

They’re not . Its just that understandably since “creatives” jobs are under threat , ‘creatives’ are going to be scared , and they’re more visible (and also the ones writing articles) , 

If you’re one to get comfortably bogged down with all that semantics then maybe you shouldn’t bother yourself with Tarantino. Maybe even forget cinema altogether :/

Any human artist who made these sort of basic mistakes would be told to try again, if not outright fired.

I tend to support this view (the latter). It’s very easy to develop and write something and all along to be saying “I know there’s that issue in the second act and I have to resolve that dramatic cul de sac in act three, but I’ll make those work...” So you keep moving forward, casting, etc., but then one morning…

Tarantino has a ton of ideas that he has backed off from - there’s an entire Wikipedia article about unproduced ideas of his. Maybe it is the pressure of making his final movie but it could also just be that the idea he had wasn’t working.

The whole ten movie thing was exactly the kind of dumbass comment you’d hear a video store clerk self-consciously holler out in front of a Friday night crowd.

Make a dozen films Quentin. Dozen sounds way cooler than ten.
