Tarantino doesnt let anything simply unfold anymore.
IsGrindhouseitself just part of that contest?
And why devote so much energy to proving your superiority to such inferior material?
Tarantino clearly gets high on trashy film rediscoveries.
Its not; its just a really good car-chase thriller.
I hope Tarantino can still tell the difference.
His fixation on 1970s subgenres has now lasted longer than the 1970s themselves.
Right now, whats holding him back is either bad taste or lack of ambition.
Id rather see him shoot higher and miss than hit a target thats barely worth aiming at.
Hes way too talented to settle for being the best bad filmmaker of all time.
