Many Tarantino films don't age well for me and some I just don't connect with as much as the masses, but I respect that his indie-inspired aesthetic has a motif of inspiring kid/amateur filmmakers. His films feel more like "How To..." guides than actual movie experiences or stories. They exist just to show what he would have made at age 13. And I envy the opportunity he's had, but why hasn't he supported indie films by working on more of them.

He's been in that seedy Weinstein corner of L.A. with budgets spent on advertising and not on making great films. Tarantino was their go-to for solid work that draws money, like the minor studios and Tim Burton. But really make a masterful, important, historical film on your own. I chalk a big chunk of Pulp Fiction's success to his producer, co-writer and editor. And my 2nd favorite QT film is Jackie Brown, which works because its based on a novel that he didn't improve too much. Tarantino needs to make some radical art films. He began his career comparing himself to Godard and Truffaut but where is his masterpiece?
