It's Reall Good Oreal Bad
a: Quentin tarantino ~
b: cinematic Marmite
What: "For many it seems that Quentin Tarantino is like cinematic Marmite. It seems people either love or loathe his films. One thing that is normally accepted is that his best work is behind him though. Reservoir Dogs and Pulp Fiction set the world alight in a way which in which Tarantino has struggled to keep aflame"

b: that character from The Simpsons, Artie Ziff

Tarantino As Pugilist
a: Quentin tarantino ~
b: a very able boxer
What: "More often than not, Quentin Tarantino is like a very able boxer who throws the same punch time after time. After the first, second, and third haymaker -- one can predict what the fourth and fifth and sixth will be. As an opponent of Tarantino's, I thought I had him and his latest film, the WWII-set Inglourious Basterds, pegged as just that -- another wild haymaker"

A Best Mixer Ever?

Quentin Gardener
a: Quentin tarantino ~
b: Chauncey Gardener
What: "Tarantino is like Chauncey Gardener. He's a talented idiot whose idiocy can be interpreted as deep thinking by smart people, because they like him and desperately wish he was as smart as they desperately wish he was."

Quentin Tarantino As Film Critic
a: Quentin tarantino ~
b: a film critic
What: "Tarantino is like a film critic who makes entire movies out of bits he likes instead of describing them. Every flick is a best-of anthology, That's Entertainment with Hong Kong pistol virtuosos instead of Fred Astaire and Gene Kelly. Unless you actually see the films T's referencing, the twists he applies feel empty or unapparent."

a: Quentin tarantino ~
b: Kubrick
What: "Quentin Tarantino is starting to remind me of late-stage Kubrick. At a certain point, both directors became pretty much divorced from what most of us think of as everyday reality by producing stylized baubles with fetishistic care, inviting audiences to marvel at the lurid and the vivid, losing interest in the process of identification that any audience, however sophisticated, craves."
