  I totally second Mr T in his opinion on Tarantino.
  Since years, I spread my own similar opinion about this joker as film
 maker…
   
  Mr Tarantino just make a voluntarily confusion between caricature of
 a genre and the genre itself. His films are mere acrobatic pastiches
 treated as parody of the genre…
  He does not even understand why some films by others were great.
           
  He just tries to master the camera in his empty pastiches: all in
 visual aggression, nothing in substance. He is the killer of genre movie.
  At best he is just an Americanized version of Claude Lelouch (French
 master of unnecessary filming effects applied to empty stories at best,
 to conventionally ridicule developments most of the time). Of course
 Tarantino played the same game on other grounds: his territory is noir
 films heritage, violence and popcorn teenagers films. All this to make
 his painstaking parodies. Certainly not neo-noir. Just neo-junk. With
 budgets.

I just picked up a book on Tarantino, written by Jerome Charyn: RAISED BY WOLVES. I haven't started it yet. Anyone here read it?
