[quote]Okay so a guy makes a movie, that is supposed to be his movie, it’s based off of someone else’s script, but it’s still this guys movie.  He pays for the rights to make someone elses script into his movie.  The man who wrote the script by selling the script is compensated well (not well for a screenplay, but well for a screenplay written by a guy who is virtually no one in the film industry, who lives on someones couch), not only that but is given but one inch closer to recognition and the power to make the kind of movies you want to make.
NBK may not be Tarantino’s vision, so what.  He didn’t make the fuckin’ movie, he wrote it.  The movie was Oliver Stones vision, based off of a purchased script of Tarantino’s.  Oliver Stone changed it, I don’t know (because even though I do eventually want to read QT’s script, I still haven’t, but that doesn’t matter in this case) what Stone changed, but he definitaly changed drastically what Tarantino wrote.  But having the rights to the script, Guess what, Oliver Stone can do almost anything he fucking wants to it in film form.  The point is the parts he took out of NBK to make the movie were taken out because they didn’t fit in Oliver Stone’s NBK, maybe Tarantino’s, but not Stone’s.  I would love to see Tarantino’s, and I do like some of the deleted scenes that were supposedly taken out of the script, in fact, I would love to see the movie without the deleted scenes.  I would love it if Quentin made NBK, TR, or the Open Road, just to see what it would be like, he probably won’t which is too bad.  But Stone’s NBK is a good fuckin’ movie (you can say that’s just my opinion, but it’s as valid as those of you who think it’s terrible), and I say that without the baggage of it being a “butchered” Tarantino script.  It’s original, it’s fun, it’s clever, and when you allow yourself to be sucked in to the movie without thinking “Well Tarantino wrote this, and that’s not how Stone was supposed to do that, it’s not true to the script, and Tarantino says it’s schlock so it’s gotta be schlock right”, you might find that the movie offers a feeling of chaos and madness, like so many of the characters in the film.
I realize Tarantino doesn’t like the movie, but maybe the fact that he wrote it and it was changed into something else pissed him off, not because the movie was bad but because the character he wrote were put into somebody elses hands, and though handled with as much love, were handled in a different matter.  But like I said Tarantino gave up the right to bitch about his characters or stories being changed when he sold the fuckin’ rights.
This debate is up to taste.  It’s been raised so many times when two strong willed creative people have two totally different views on how things should be. ÂÂ
Oh and by the way, I hate fuckin’ Platoon, like Stone to a degree, but Platoon ruined me for war movies for about 5 years, and then Thin Red Line picked up where platoon left off.
But like I said that’s just my opinion.[/quote]
We’re not saying that he didn’t have the right to fuck it up. It’s officially his movie. But that doesnt’ change the fact that it sucks ass. If Quentin Tarantino gave me the script for pulp fiction, then i have the right to film 154 minutes of a piece of shit. It would still suck.
