I think the ear-scene link to Django is rather overexaggerated - i.e. in both films there are ears cut off...

City on Fire is undesputedly the main influence on Dogs, though the former lacks the sleekness and cracking dialogue that made this heist story such a roaring critical success in the hands of Tarantino.

I think as a whole, one could say QT's end products outshine the likes of Shogun Assassin, They Call Her One Eye, Lady Snowblood and City on Fire - due in no small part to his plundering of the underground and bringing it topside with his own blend of more digestible wit and cool.

I guess it’s a matter of taste, like I said I do enjoy Tarrantino's movies, I just personally don’t believe his movies are better than ALL the influences! I couldn’t even name ALL the influences at the end of the day Tarrantino's film knowledge outshines most peoples!

Zombie should have been shot for that movie. :D Just my personal opinion. I hated it. I didn't like the bad guys. Didn't really like the so called good guys. By the end I was wishing they all would die. Won't be seeing the new one. And I see 85% of every horror movie made. But he still makes great music. Well someone had to say something bad.:p

Oh yeah, House of 1000 Corpses...

Very underwhelming - after promises of "the return of hardcore horror" etc., we get just another TCM/Hills-derived movie about a crazy family set in the deep South.

Still, much better than most other horror films in the last 5 years.

By the end? My hatred for at least the one bitchy girl was sky high 10 minutes in, and the rest followed soon after. And the family, oh boy were they annoying. There was not one redeeming aspect of any character in the entire movie.

I thought House of 1000 Corpses was an awesome movie. I was kinda dissapointed the first time I watched it but found it a lot better with repeated veiwings. Of course he's borrowed bits from other horror movies but really what director doesn't? I also think Reservoir Dogs is Tarantino's best film. I used to be a big fan but now I get annoyed because of the overblown dialogue it's like sitting thru a fucking lecture on film. Reservoir Dogs had a awesome energy to it and it flowed alot more interestingly that a lot of his other films, maybe he should stick to 90mins or less instead of rambling on and on..... but that said at least he ain't no Ron Howard/Robert Zemekis and his films don't have Tom Hanks in them.
