Thing is, that is the entire point of a Tarrantino movie (at least to me). He makes movies for movie buffs. Have you ever read an interview with him? All he does is reference other movies right down to camera shots, music sequences, lighting etc. His house is filled with memorabilia of grindhouse and exploitation movies, from European horror to Giallo thrillers to Japanese arthouse violence. He is a walking reference library.
Here's an example: the scene where Daryl Hannah walks into the hospital with the syringe full of poison was lifted exactly 'as-is' from the movie trailer (!!) to Brian DePalma's
Dressed to Kill. He even lifted the music directly.
The point is, Tarrantino will NEVER come up with something original. You have to go in expecting to see compelte and utter plagiarism (worship) of his influences. His script dialog is forced to accentuate that point, thereby making his films appear as charicatures of other movies. You either love them or hate them I guess. I grew up watching that shit so to me, it's like total acknowledgement of what he's getting at.
By the way, his next film, currently called "Inglorious Bastards" is a WWII epic that will rip off
The Dirty Dozen. Apparently, he's bringing together all these cool actors from the past and making his own version of that film, with his own twists and turns obviously. I can tell you now, it will be a splice and dice of lots of old action war movies.
