Summary: "Tarantino is an aesthete, a Fitzgeraldian observer of the delicate dance of social interaction" - Ron Rosenbaum (critic) "Tarantino doesnâ??t communicate anything to the audience except 'look how fucking cool I am' â?? - (anonymous blogger) A special directors spotlight this week as we scrutinize the works of the man himself, Quentin Tarantino. Obviously there are differing opinions of the value and quality of the films he has made over in 15 years, as sparse as they may be, but for the genre fan there is so much to appreciate. In honour of the extensive character rosters Tarantino likes to incorporate, its a full Horroretc crew discussing our highlights and complaints about his filmography thus far including writing and acting contributions. Rather than regurgitate the factoids and anecdotes of the productions (see wikipedia etc), we focus on our general take on the films and discuss how Tarantino has crafted unique and powerful works from the history of cinema that came before. So please sit back and enjoy a feature length conversation about QT with our most produced episode to date. And yes...there's some other stuff at the end too. Check out the site for the links referenced in the episode for more info: Tarantino trademarks - excellent summary of all the recurring Tarantino trademarks Reservoir Dogs - how the mexican standoff went down - Nuff said Wikipedia - check out the collaborators chart - all the information we chose not to convey The Films of Quentin Tarantino - nice 4 minute homage to the man's movies We always welcome your comments: horroretc@gmail.com WWW.HORRORETC.COM
