Influence and AFI lists are 2 different things. I don’t think THE WIZARD OF OZ, 2001: A SPACE ODYSSEY, THE GODFATHER, or LAWRENCE OF ARABIA has any substance for me at all. Lists are popularity contests and I agree are stupid. But a movie’s influence is a wonderful thing.
Now I really just wanted to get to my point of I don’t want QT falling down into a category like other Hollywood directors do. He is becoming the Michael Bay of movie references and homages is what I am getting at. Change it up a bit. Like you said, he shouldn’t care what people think. Okay then he shouldn’t have a problem changing it up, despite what his fans would think of that too.
Everyone would agree QT should be fresh and new with evey film, yes? Well right now QT = sub-genre director with some catchy tunes and I don’t want to see an artist have a label.
