Their best contribution was in Pulp Fiction, when Samuel L Jackson addresses a suitably limp haired individual as, "Hey you, Flock of Seagulls."

Bit harsh, that. 

Honestly, I didn't mind them at all. Quite catchy tunes. I liked -and still do like- a fair bit of electronic music of the time, Kraftwerk, OMD, Human League et al; it's the modern doof doof crap I can't stand.

Any film by Tarantino is a complete turn-off for me. Out of all the ones I have seen, I have yet to find one that's even slightly watcheable.

He's got worse with time.

The "Hateful Eight" was one of the most tedious, irritating, boring films I have seen in ages. 

Funny when you realise how little you have in common with others once you get past the little soldiers.

Indeed. We are defined by more than our love of the Dark Lord and his great works.

I reckon you could say that about most of them. They might be critically acclaimed but I have found them to be way too wordy with less plot than nearly anything else I've seen. Inglorious Bastards being a case in point. The only one I can watch is From Dusk till Dawn but only from when they arrive at the bar. Before that there's far too much uninteresting chit-chat.

Leman, I'm sure that wargamers by and large have more in common than just soldiers, It's just that this fella doesn't strike any chords with me whatsoever.

Have to agree. Reservoir dogs and pulp fiction excellent and liked dusk till dawn but everything since has been meh..
Couldn't finish any of the awful kill bills and inglorious basterds very disappointing

That's because he didn't direct that half of the movie, so no wonder you like it!

Second the motion. Can we have a vote of condemnation for a highly overrated director?

I liked Reservoir Dogs, Pulp Fiction, Jackie Brown, Inglourious Basterds, Django Unchained and the CSI episode he did but loathed the rest.

To rethread the thread

Some of Mr Tarentino's works have been rather better than others.

Oh yes, he's a lot of fun.
