I really can't stand him at this point. He always seemed like a very eccentric, spastic acting person, but there was some level of charisma there. He seemed like someone who really knew his shit and might have been a fun person if you could tolerate him when being annoying.
In recent years my opinion of him has plummeted. He, like all of these unlikable people who are past their prime, started doing a podcast. He makes a total ass of himself during these ramblings. He kind of exposed that not only does he kind of have shit taste, his knowledge of film is nowhere near as vast as he once tried to let on.
And lets get this out of the way. On his breakthrough film Reservoir Dogs, he DID steal cinematography that was literally bit by bit taken from another film. He did do that. There was a woman who used to choose the soundtrack songs for his movies, so you can't really give him credit there. The whole Tarantino formula is basically to take actors and songs that aren't the first ones to pop in your head but are still ones you have a distant memory of, put them front and center, and BAM you got something a little different. So, it's really not the genius of one man, it's just a simple formula and help from people who aren't getting credit.
I don't care that he said the guy from Little Miss Sunshine was a shit actor, or how all the actors began kissing that dude's ass.
I liked Once Upon A Time In Hollywood. Tarantino's 10th film was something I was looking forward to, not so much now. I doubt it'll even fucking happen. I really don't want a circlejerk with Brad Pitt or whoever else he is friends with. I dunno, the illusion is shattered. I still like the movies of his that I always enjoyed. But I kind of see through so much of him to a point where I know he's a phony.
And feet are not sexy. I don't want to see gross, upclose shots of women's feet. I fucking squinted and wanted the scene to be over on that part of Once Upon A Time In Hollywood when Margot Robbie's dirty feet were front and center. He may have been wanting to do a Pee Wee Herman to that shit, but most normal people aren't.
