Huge horror fanatic over here! What type of horror do you enjoy?

If you are looking for some new goodies, definitely check out anything coming out of France lately. When it comes to horror, France is the new Japan.

Dude, where the fuck did you go? You need to post more.

So I watched half of Pulp Fiction. I've heard so much about it but I had a hard time staying interesting. I guess I just don't like Tarantino's style

I really don't like Tarantino films. I find them to be extremely hollow.

I like neither Tarantino nor Cronenberg. I don't understand their films and trying to get them has yielded me nothing.

I think actors are drawn to Tarantino because of his dialogue and characterization. I personally love his style; but I think actors just really love getting to delve into truly deranged and mental characters and that's why they love Tarantino. Furthermore, he usually is attracted to actors that aren't that popular, or aren't at the time, yet somehow he always draws memorable performances from them. People thought John Travolta would never be heard from again. Then he showed up in Pulp Fiction and proved that he could actually act. That gave his career a jump-start.

I can understand people not liking him though. It's a really different style of directing and writing. I love it though.

Cronenberg's just really weird, but I enjoy violence done well in films, and he excels at that. Some argue that his movies are gratiutously violent, but I've never thought that.

If there's anything I enjoy in Tarantino films it's the dialog, but like Killbot said, they seem hollow and vacuous beyond that.

The Kill Bill series was incredibly tedious.

 

[Einherjar86]

Especially the second film.

I think actors are drawn to Tarantino because of his dialogue and characterization.

Case in point: Reservoir Dogs...probably the only heist movie that doesn't show the heist

Pulp fiction is pretty awesome, do you like Reservoir Dogs?

 

[NinjaGeek]

I personally am a fan of Tarantino although I know a lot don't agree. I actually like his slower paced character driven stuff like Kill Bill Vol. 2. But weather you like his films or not, he's got really good taste in movies, and a lot of his influences are really great. Lady Snowblood and The Taking of Pelham 123 are two really good films to check out if you wanna see where Tarantino got some of his ideas. There are loads more though.

 

[Einherjar86]

Resevoir Dogs is my favorite Tarantino flick.

 

[Ender Rises]

I love every Tarantino flick. Reservoir Dogs and Pulp Fiction do battle every once in a while for my top spot. From Dusk to Dawn is the only one I don't like... what a piece of shit movie.

 

[rms]

Wow that movie was awesome

 

[waif]

The Kill Bill series was incredibly tedious.

I laughed a lot at the first one - it was really ridiculous. The final fight scene was hilarious. That said, that was back when anything with significant amounts of violence was fascinating for me.

 

[Ender Rises]

Kill Bill was pretty good. Mediocre compared to Reservoir Dogs.

 

[waif]

I should hope so - it wasn't a serious film.

 

[The_Quadfather]

Love him or hate him, you at least have to appreciate Tarantino's ambition and the fact that he is a writer/director. In a day and age where films are either remakes or sequels, it is nice to know some people are still going for originality.

 

[Ender Rises]

Is he making another movie any time soon or is he just going to disappear?

 

[Einherjar86]

I think he's actually working on a war movie. I read that somewhere.

 

[The_Quadfather]

I think you are right about the war movie, which could be pretty cool IMO.
