Weird how, of all people, QT missed the point of B-Horror Exploitations

In making a movie that's supposed to be low budget and crappy, it doesn't attempt making up for it the way the b-movies QT grew up on did with... a real story, and a killer who remains one till the end, and more action to keep the viewer interested. It's almost as if the King of B-Movie 1970's Nostalgia was out of touch with what he himself, a decade earlier with his own great films, brought back into focus. Sad too. I remember seeing Grindhouse on a holiday. Forget which. I dug Planet Terror because it kept entertaining, like b-movies do, albeit without million dollar special effects -- and they didn't have CGI then. But... Deathproof, to me, is a movie that could have been so great. It's tragic that Tarantino has kind of drowned in what made his great stuff great: Dialogue. He's an over-writer, and often times repeats the same expository dialogue, and his sets look like sets and... I don't know. I used to worship... well, not the guy, but his films, in which Deathproof was what made me question my adoration. And I've been doing it ever since... Thank God for Alexander Payne.
