1: Morality is absent in the Tarantino verse.

2. His quirkiness and varied homages are often what make his movies unique. But sometimes they can just be annoying.

He does copy or steal(choose your word for it) once in a while.

I'm not complaining.

PS
Pablo Picasso is widely quoted as having said that “good artists borrow, great artists steal.” Whether or not Picasso was truly the first person to voice this idea is in some dispute.

He's become too much of a self-parody.

"1: Morality is absent in the Tarantino verse."

Well that's just a reflection of the real world.

Yeah, cool talk. Especially in his earlier movies like Res Dogs and Pulp Fiction. But I think its more a flaw as a writer rather than director.

Oh yes, and his occasional decision to act in his own movies...

reply

The first one is a virtue, not a flaw. Sticking your nose into the character's life is where you get shallow, soapbox writing.

reply

It's not true that morality is absent in his movies. That's just plain stupid. The moral in each and every one of his films is "live by the sword, die by the sword." This moral is why in many of his movies, even the "good guys" wind up dying.

He started pandering to a different demographic and thats because he's a slave to his chosen puppets.
