Quentin Tarantino
Quentin Tarantino
"A money-grabbing sell-out who can’t write, can’t direct and has run out of ideas" - Mark Kermode
Creator of Reservoir Dogs, Pulp Fiction, Jackie Brown, Four Rooms, Kill Bill, Death Proof, Inglourious COUGHING, Django Unchained and The Hateful Eight.
Tarantino's involvement in Hostel 2 led to Mark Kermode calling for him to be put in prison for life, on the charge of being completely full of himself.
Mark has warmed a bit more to Tarantino of late, however, admitting that there is talent in certain scenes - but maintains that in general his films are far too long.
Mark's impression of Quentin Tarantino is notably almost identical to his of Woody Allen.
Simon Mayo once spotted Tarantino whilst out shopping, and tweeted to his followers asking what he should shout at the director. Almost universally, they asked that Simon yell, "why don't you just grow up?!"
