@impossiblefunky Why don't you make a movie, instead of spending so much time trying to destroy another filmmakers reputation.

[impossiblefunky]

@fkrunaway OMG! Why haven't I ever thought of that? Let's go to Hollywood right now! You can be my producer!

@VogtTD "they are dick sucking fan boys"

Now why is ad-hominem like that necessary?

@fkrunaway

executives dumb as ones at Miramax can be found once in life of mankind.

tarantino had that luck.

@SyncrisisVideos No Reservoir dogs may have ripped off City on Fire, except all he did was rip off the last 20 minutes and making it an entire movie. Plus Tarantino does a lot more with it including dialogue and character development, people are too hung up on plot sometimes,take a look at the characters the dialogues they have in both movies from beginning to end and tell me if one of the Characters in City on fire says that "Like a Virgin is about getting fucked by a big dick

And if M. Wallace wanted to threaten someone why not bring up a movie quote, he is Marcellus Wallace, he can quote if he wants. And the breifcase thing is just cool, hell I'd use it. He likes Movie references, i do it all the time in my fiction hoping people will catch on that its from something else, and will get a good laugh. hey the Drug Dealer from the movie could have learned how to use it from the movie American Boy. and the cartoon thing, thats used everywhere dont give me that shit.

Yea and Lucas stole from Kurosawas hiden fortress, and Fistful of Dollars is a blatent ripoff of Yojimbo. WHo cares. also in my point of view considering all the characters in Pulp Fiction are kind of Pop Culture weirdo (Tarentino loves those references" Yea i don't doubt they used those lines. Hell Jules could have watched the Bodyguard and thought "Hey man, that verse it motherfuckin amazing, i think i will use it."

@DoubleTalkingJive lol! Death Proof is one of the worst movies of the decade. Yep, it's Tarantino original alright!

[RichTheMixologist]

If the point that is trying to be made is, "Tarantino is a thieving asshole," then his name has to be put at the end of a very long list of writers and directors.

Since the beginning of storytelling, there has only been one story. The writer, or director, draws from personal experience and adds elements of all he or she has been exposed to in previous tellings of "The Story." Some draw from "The Story" more than others. In the end, it just doesn't matter because we're all thieving assholes.

[BoHoVsGolf]

well tarantino does it well

[Zerudah]

@DoubleTalkingJive Yep. 

[DoubleTalkingJive]

@Zerudah And umm have you ever actually seen Band Of Outsiders??

[DoubleTalkingJive]

@Zerudah I'll give you Lady Snowblood to some degree. But Band Of Outsiders and Christine are ridiculous comparisons. Unless you think a "killer car" automatically constiutues a remake, even though they are two entirely different films.
