This is the kind of thread I try and keep out of. All this Quentin love and unappreciating anything other filmmakers try and do.
If people want to emulate the style of Tarantino, who cares, Tarantino has been pinching styles from different movies for years and he admits it. He was influenced and I am sure Quentin is thrilled he is influencing so many others.
I’ll bet the people in here who call themselves ‘future’ writers/directors write in the same way Quentin does…

I don’t think Tarantino pinches other filmmakers styles, QT has his own unique style which is very consistent. I mean the only styles he has pinched that I can remember is the split screen sequences and long-shots but I don’t think they even qualify as they aren’t styles belonging to one individual. I mean trunk-shots, witty dialogue, shot of drink being poured into a cup from above, shots of car license plates before the car goes off or after a car comes into the picture, pop-culture dialogue, use of red apple cigarettes, rhyming sentence structures, use of popular or relevant/appropriate music etc etc all consists of QT’s style. Guy Ritchie tries to emulate a few of those things, not that there is anything wrong with it though, but he still tries to copy him.
