Holy cr@p do people on this site even watch movies, or just rag on each other all day?

  Tarantino I'll agree hasn't produced anything that spectacular in quite awhile but that doesn't mean he doesn't have anything left in him to do the job. He always does a spectacular job of creating some type of a little rant captured on film that has me going back and rewinding the movie just to make sure I heard the whole thing right. From the argument about the meaning of Maddonna's "like a virgin" to the reasons why Top Gun is the greatest story ever told, he always leaves me cracking up.

  I find his niche is less about violence and more akin to the humanity behind the violence. Prior to his early films most movie bad guys were characters that you'd hate from the moment you saw them on the screen. His films showed you the people who commited these acts were in fact just like you and I, albeit quite a bit more twisted. It gave the violence more of an edge as we struggle to think of how we relate to these evil characters now that they are given a character that we can relate to, rather than just the evil persona of pure violence and hate that movie goers had come to expect.

  Of course these are only my opinions. I encourage you to form your own.
