Talk:Quentin Tarantino

I've got an issue on this article, and I'd like to hear some opinions about it. In the short text you easily find words that are too prejudiced to be in an article, in my opinion, for instance: A stylish, witty yet bloody heist movie and later a highly stylized revenge flick. Does it give the reader any liberty at all? I mean, it breaks with every hermeneutic principle that I know of.. Just a thought.. - Sigg3.net 21:22, 29 Nov 2003 (UTC)

You are free to edit as you please in order to bring the article to a NPOV. So, be bold. Of course, others may disagree, but this is a process. Dori | Talk 21:25, Nov 29, 2003 (UTC)

I think that I know too little about this man in order to write anything. I've seen quite a lot of his films, but as we all know we interpret them in our own ways, so my opinion in this matter must be that one should only state what films he has directed (etc.) and not what they are about.. Or how they are.. - Sigg3.net 21:45, 29 Nov 2003 (UTC)

...i'm thinking about a paragraph about his influences, like kinji fukasaku. But I don't know enough about him. Help! Vincit 10:19, 1 Jul 2004 (UTC)

CSI: Grave Danger

I'm sure that the real reason the showing of gave danger was posponed in Britain after the 7/7 bombings is that the end of the part 1 involves a suspect blowing himself up. Should this be added to what is already mentioned or should it replace what is already here? Boyinabox

Acting

I found a mistake of yours: w tarantino also acted in jacky brown ...at least I think he did ..

I'm pretty sure he "acted" in Kill Bill Vol. 2 as Budd in the wedding rehersal scene. This may just be a piece of misplaced rumor, but it would be great if anyone could verify this.--Alfador 08:21, 22 November 2005 (UTC)

IQ 160

Does anyone know of a source for the claim that QT has an IQ of 160? I'm sure he's a very smart guy, but it's one of those pieces of netlore that I've seen batted around forever, and I tend to be skeptical of fannish unsourced claims of Einstein-level IQ's for celebrities.--Misterwindupbird 23:31, 18 July 2005 (UTC)

Well...If I had to make a guess, I'd say 130...he has a curious taste for special plot context's. But 160...Nah, he's not that nerd. But then again: I don't see him as a celebrity...as just a geeky guy from a basement who has alot of movie knowledge and skills. And that ain't even an insult, just the facts. I'm sure I'd rather believe him be an "Einsten" rather than other's...regardless of "celebrity"-level. A general skepsis is always a bit of prejudice...but perhaps wise sometimes. You go do some research if you care more.--OleMurder 07:02, 10 January 2006 (UTC)

Half-Breed

I changed "half-breeds" to "bi-racial characters" in the trivia section. "Half-breeds" sounds like some neo-nazi jargon to me.--Graphic 05:34, 21 August 2005 (UTC)

Quentin Tarantino presents...

If he doesn't direct these films, what excatly does he do? Just give them money? Or does he contribute with some ideas? could this be explained better?--Jaysscholar 03:17, 6 January 2006 (UTC)

Well, first of all, he's behind the screenplay: Plot writing, sometimes even acting smaller roles. And helping the director. More or less. But you didn't need to me to say this...as soon as you do a little background check on the subject..you'll find out. Quentin (Not "QT", ach, shortings of names) ain't no man with secrets. Open n'honest.--OleMurder 07:02, 10 January 2006 (UTC)

If I'm not mistaken, he didn't do any of these things with regard to Hero. He just attached his name to the movie. With regard to Hostel, where exactly is it said that he's the executive producer? IMDb only lists him as presenter.--Scathane 09:03, 2 March 2006 (UTC)

He puts his name on them so that they are able to get a wider release. Jacknife737 01:23, 28 March 2006 (UTC)

Repetitveness

This article repeats things a lot and needs to be cleaned up. Seems like a fairly easy task so I'll try to get around to it.--Elleohelle

Well, if you know the audience, you know what to say. And if you knew..heh... you wouldn't be sayin' that. But cleanin' up? Why not, go ahead and be a perfectionist ;)--OleMurder 07:02, 10 January 2006 (UTC)

Sex, Lies, and Independent Film

I added a refrence to Steven Soderbergh's Sex, Lies, and Videotape because I feel that it is just as pertinent to the 1990s independent film revolution as Pulp Fiction. Before the article read like Pulp Fiction singlehandedly set it off. Also, there is a reference to Pulp Fiction in the Soderbergh article. Any objections? Arbitrary arbiter 21:01, 17 March 2006 (UTC)

You could argue that other films are important too for the independent film revolution (like El Mariachi or The Usual Suspects). I thinks it's hard to say which films really had that big of an influence to it.--Wutschwlllm 12:16, 14 April 2006 (UTC)

uncited Spike Lee claim

A quick google found no such claim by Spike Lee, but if it's true please reinsert this back into Criticism with a citation:

The fact that Jimmie had a black wife was also seen as an insult, specifically by Spike Lee.
