What makes QT so great in my eyes and what separates him from other film-makers is that he’s got the balls to experiment with each movie he makes. He began his career in the crime genre, moved on to kung-fu exploitation, is now set to direct a horror movie and is then planning to do his war epic. Something like that takes guts and I congratulate him for that. Hell you can’t even compare one movie with another cause they’re different from each other and if someone says Pulp is better than Kill Bill, well sorry to say but that’s an idiotic statement. It’s like saying Snatch is better than Enter the Dragon. Now take other film-makers. Guy Ritchie. He had a misfire with Swept Away and is now re-hashing his older stuff time and time again. Take Kevin Smith. Same thing (even if he has always been overrated as hell in my eyes in the first place). Take Oliver Stone. ALL of his movies center around politics to some degree. Hell, take even Hitchcock, one of the absolute greats, he’s re-hashed the same formula countless times in his films. I could go on and on. This is not however the case with QT. He always wants to expand his horizons, try out some new stuff. And that takes time. It’s like he’s beginning his career over again with every new film he makes, and I don’t blame him if he takes his time because he does not want to dissapoint. He can direct two crime movies a year if he wants to, because he’s the fucking master in that genre by now. But he doesn’t. He knows his fans are craving for something different, and I have nothing but respect for him cause of that.
