Rating:  Summary: The guy who bashed Tarantino doesn't have a clue! Review: This is just a response from the "reader" in California that so badly slammed Tarantino in his review. I personally havent had a chance yet to read this particular book but I have seen his movies and I dont know what your talking about. I am 30 years old and married and I think his movies are fantastic. They are not meant to be "Godfather" like films, they are of a new generation of film making and have an originality all their own. I dont even want to begin speculating in what you call a good movie (probably enjoy crap like Punch Drunk Love). I think Tarantino is great if you aren't trying to follow the mundane, reoccuring theme in most movies today.
Rating:  Summary: de-ja-vu all over Review: After a couple of articles written about the same period of Tarantino's carreer (which was very short so far when this book was published) I got a strogn sense of de-ja-vu. It's basically the same questions and answers all over again, and the book only slowly goes forward to the next film or project.
I guess a book like this would be much more interesting if the filmmaker had done a lot more films and the book could do with only 1 or 2 interviews per period. This one was written too soon, alas.
Rating:  Summary: GENIUS!!!!!!!! Review: Everybody would like to get inside the head of a genius, get to know how he thinks. Well, this book allows you to do just that. You get a sense of Tarantino's concerns when writing, you learn that the first draft of Pulp Fiction was doing 500 pages.But since it is all interviews, there are quite a few redundancies. The same questions answered the same way. It might not be the best book to know about Tarantino. In fact it isn't. But it's a good book for anyone who wants to feel the passion of moviemaking, and to catch some clues on what made his movies so delightful. Unfortunatly, the book isn't recent and all interviews topics only include Tarantino's first two movies (Reservoir and Pulp) as well as references to True Romance and Natural Born Killers, which scripts he had sold prior to Reservoir.

Rating:  Summary: Boring Book About a Boring Man Review: It's terribly sad that so much attention is sent in the wrong direction. Did the man behind this book just think he was cool for having something to do with a man who only ten year olds still think is smart? Tarentino's films are universally and fundamentally boring, at least for anyone who has ever lived a real life and not just fantasized about having one. His dipictions of violence eminate from his own personal lack of sexual energy. Sadly, teenage males without girlfriends seem to like these slammed together video games that are being called brilliant, and continue to support the trash factory that generates this type of hyper garbage. It's especially sad when a true film afficienado understands the brilliance of all of the original pictures which he doggedly ripped off and claimed the scenes for his own. If one more person calls this sad, pathetic, lack of a man a genious, I will become even more sick of him. Please get a life and buy a real one too. Keep pretending that you and Uma are an Item. Maybe some ex film critics will believe you.
Rating:  Summary: GENIUS!!!!!!!! Review: This guy is a genius. This is a great book. I hope they release new editions of this book after he's completed some more films.
