Tarantino can't write dialog


Not anymore anyway.
He lost it after Dogs. Pulp Fiction onwards everything comes across as scripted. And i mean evrrrythingg!

What about the dialog in Inglourious Basterds? I think that's even better written than some of his earlier work.

It is. The OP just sucks.

Yes everything is scripted but it shouldn't play as if it's scripted. I'll listen to the lovely chattier chat of any scene in True Romance every day of the hour as opposed to the stilted writing these bitches are reading.

Considering the unmatched character creations that Quintan thinks up.. I'm surprised you can separate dialogue from the rest of the character. The lack of Dialogue whilst Stuntman Mike is stalking his prey, as they party it up is brilliant. As the superficial discussions between The Girls continue, the interjection of the social awkwardness of Mike is heightened and supported. Observe how awkward the conversation between Mike and the rest of the characters flows. And even when Quintans sleazy character joins the party. The dialogue fits the film perfectly.

Don't you just want to watch a movie where people say great things and it seems natural. I'm that person and I'm not generally received well , but you have to say it. Don't you!

Ohhh this is one of those hilarious threads where someone tries to argue against something that is almost UNIVERSALLY praised. It's about as easy to take seriously as one of those "reptilian" believers

This is some of the best dialogue QT has ever written.

We are in the minority because so many people hate the dialogue in DP!

If you don't think Tarantino can write dialogue then you are a moron. You don't like the way he writes? Fine then don't watch his movies. Anyone who's been nominated/won best screenplay so many times is clearly an incredible writer
