I get labeled an evil person for this all the time, but i think ol Qt is overrated. Granted, Pulp Fiction was a eork of genius, and i really Like True Romance, but most of his stuff is just over the top to me, to the point that i dont find it enjoyable.
I knwo a lot of people place a great deal of value on the dialogue in his movies, and i think that is why i am at odds with everyone else so much. i think dialogue should do it's best to push the plot foward, with no frame or word wasted. Qt does what a lot of indie film makers do:
Tons of dialogue that is completely extraneous to the plot. Did the "Like a virgin" conversation have any bearing on the rest of the movie in resevoir dogs? if it did, i missed that part.
i do appreciate that his love of pulp culture and use of it in his movies has ironically placed him in the same position of the people he admires, but that just means im giving credit where it is due. im sntill not much of a fan.
