Well I wouldn’t go so far as to say he experiments with each movie. RD, PF and JB were all crime films, therefore they can all be compared. One of the criticisms people had of him was that he stays in his ‘safety zone’ so-to-speak. He made 3 films in the same genre and they were similar, not the same, but similar. He obviously did something about that with Kill Bill. Good for him. So out of the 4 he has made, 3 of them are in the same genre, I wouldn’t say that’s experimentation. Sure he experiments in other ways, but not in the type of film he actually makes.
I also disagree and feel you CAN compare Kill Bill to Pulp Fiction mainly because they were both made by the same guy. I can then compare them and say something like “The dialogue in PF is much better than in KB. I think it is wittier and more interesting” or “I think QT’s directorial skill during KB is way more advanced than what he showed us in PF. His use of imaginative, interesting camera angles and movements really add to the excitement of watching the film. Sadly, the camera movement and placement of the camera is pretty borring and quite repetitive, this doesn not make for exciting viewing” I could go on and on.
Also, I would give the title of greatest film-makers who have the balls to experiment with each movie to the Coen brothers. They have made 11 films and I can honestly say that no 2 of their films are same or even remotely similar. They are all totally different, and they are all great in their own way. That to me is fucking genius. They haven’t slipped up yet, don’t give me that shit about The Ladykillers and Intolerable Cruelty being shit, they are great fun for what they are.
He can direct 2 crime movies in a year, but I can tell you that he will never do that. That just isn’t his nature. QT is a lazy bastard and likes to do so many other things before making his next film. But that’s not my beef, he justified why he takes so long to make a film, and I appreciate what he said (it was in an interview).
