Though honestly, the more budget and insane creative control that QT has gotten over the years, his movies have more and more lack the awesome narrative energy that DOGS contained.
As I pointed out years back in my review of DOGS, sometimes inexperience actually helps. Yet with more directing work under QT, I do wonder...
Even FICTION, a masterpiece in itself, and as great as it is...I credit the screenplay moreso than the direction but whatever.
I'm sure QT's DEATH PROOF delivers but Robert Rodriguez? His scriptwriting is more erratic than my grandpa's alzheimers. Jesus Christ...
Whats funny is, a CHUD website review commented that QT has finally equaled the outright self-exertive creative effort, at the risk of alienating funders and some audiences, at the same rate as one of Tarantino's heroes...Brian DePalma.
Either that is the best, or worst, criticism a director can get.
P.S. - Irish, whats the last movie you hyped to hell that you didn't love?
