Was this a manufactured debate? Because I'm at a loss for words.<br><br>Inglourious Basterds was a remake? End discussion. A remake of what? The nearly same titled film of a completely different plot? Was the counter argument a joke, or because you didnt have anyone who honestly thought Tarantino wasn't worth the hype?

Predictability is not a good trait in a movie. I started to see actual scenes from older movies in his shot for shot.

I've only seen four new wave films. The 400 Blows, Breathless, Bande A Part(sound familiar?), and Shoot The Piano Player. It's very easy to see that the new wave had a heavy influence on QT. Breathless has some entertaining dialogue that makes many pop culture references. Shoot The Piano Player is a gangster/noir/comedy film that involves two gangsters, some kidnapping, interesting car rides, pop culture references, and more entertaining dialogue. QT borrows heavily from Bande A Part (Band of Outsiders) as well. In fact, there is scene in a RESTAURANT, where they talk about SILENCE in conversations, then get up AND DANCE. The reason I got into French New Wave is because I'm a film major and I saw 400 Blows in a class and it instantly reminded me of QT. I plan on watching a lot more French New Wave, hopefully I won't see other cool scenes from Pulp Fiction in them. I'm surprised no one has brought up The French New Wave.

Look at his background... high school dropout, worked at a video store, part of the VCR generation, and is probably one of the most passionate filmmakers that doesn't take shit from anyone to change his films to please Hollywood. Many people are in the business for the wrong reasons. They make shitty films, like spoof films, stupid, no point films and were not complaining about that?! At least QT's work is done with passion. Other filmmakers have greatly influenced him, just like Shakespeare has pretty much influenced every great writer! QT, hands down, deserves the hype! QT is an amazing filmmaker.

For me Reservoir Dogs was my entry to indie films and Tarantino's recommendation for Hero inspired me to go out and see more foreign martial arts films, same with Grindhouse and exploitation flicks. So if nothing else QT has inspired some cinephiles to venture out and see films they would normally not come across or know about.

That's what the actual term pulp fiction means. To quantify whether or not Tarantino lifts stuff from other movies or not, I just don't think it's fair. To him or Avary. (not that anyone is questioning Avary, but you get what I'm saying.) Deathproof was garbage. Actually I thought both the Grindhouse movies were garbage.
