What happened with him and Uma?No way Uma Thurman will ever work with him again and I don't think he'll do a Kill Bill without her.

Maybe I'm in a bubble but I'd say this is a minority opinion at this point. I think it might be a little overrated but among a lot of the more hardcore fans of his work it seems like that and Jackie Brown are considered his best work, while in the more mainstream arena more foot-on-the-gas epics like Pulp and Inglorious Basterds still reign supreme.
I personally don't think he's made a bad movie but if I was considering his least essential work I'd definitely say Hateful Eight and Django rank somewhere near the bottom for me.
EDIT: Also him doing a Kill Bill sequel would be mad disappointing IMO. Despite the infamous tease in Vol. 1 nothing about that movie really *needs* a sequel. I would rather see him go out on something more reflective. Plus, given how things went down, I have my doubts that Uma would do it.
If 3 ever gets made they gotta incorporate that into the marketing
QT has said he considers OUATIH to be the climax of his career, and that the tenth film would be a little more "epilog-y." and that doesn't sound big budget.I bet he spent the last 6 months leveraging Barbenheimer sea change to get himself a billion dollar budget and a movie to go with it
I like it, but less than all Tarantino movies.
It's kind of just a...hangout movie. It doesn't have strong forward momentum, the story and themes are sort of hazy, and it centers around a "what-if" scenario but doesn't really go into the consequences of the "what-if".
I think all of that is deliberate, but it wasn't gripping for me in the way most of his other movies are.
"Luminaries" like Sydney Pollock and Francis Ford Coppola are probably careers that Tarantino wants to avoid.I concur that it's his decision and should be respected, but I do understand why people are so weird about it. His films are mostly well loved and are legitimate events when they are released. I would argue that, with the possible exceptions of Steven Spielberg or Alfred Hitchcock, that nobody else's name in the director role will call as much attention to a film as Tarantino's does - to the point where it supersedes the actors performing in it and even the contents of the film itself. Even luminaries like Pollock, Scorsese, Coppola, and Lee aren't quite on the same level. I can see Jordan Peele getting there some day if he keeps up his streak of quality, but we're early in his career.
No Bram Stoker's Dracula or The Rainmaker, no Cast Away or Flight, hell Ron Howard basically only starts putting out good movies after his 10th. Carpenter and Columbus might have a point, but I'd say that Carpenter is also very precious about what movies he makes, and could probably deliver something great if he came out of retirement.Maybe 10 wouldn't be the magic number for some of these, but possible answers to your question: Francis Ford Coppola, John Carpenter, Robert Zemeckis, Chris Columbus, Ron Howard.
If Ridley stops at 10 he doesn't even make it to Gladiator, let alone Black Hawk Down, Kingdom of Heaven, The Martian, The Last Duel...Though I'd love a sequel to Kill Bill and him reuniting with Uma, I seriously don't think Quentin is the kind of writer/director who'd make a late sequel to one of his earlier films to be his final film. I am still hoping to see him direct Cruise (with Uma!) in his next film.
Ridley Scott? Maybe not at exactly 10 but you know.
No way Uma Thurman will ever work with him again and I don't think he'll do a Kill Bill without her.
This has to be said in every QT thread, but...
Just because he talks about an idea, doesn't mean he was ever that serious about it. Kill Bill 3 has as much chance of happening as the Vega Brothers movie.
He's already made a not good movie with H8tful Eight so someone remind him he doesn't have some perfect run. It's ok to fail you dumbass.
Hateful Eight is easily my favorite of all of them. Poor OB!I mean people have been saying "this is his worst movie" or "I wish he would go back to making movies like he used to" since Jackie Brown.
Personally I'd rather watch Hateful Eight over OUATIH any day. I like all his films though.
Tarantino has explained why he's stopping at 10 films many times now and if that is his decision as a creative then that's his decision.
Why are people being weird about it?
Oh I agree with you 100%. I was just kinda ranking Tarantino as an attraction versus other directors who were names in their respective times."Luminaries" like Sydney Pollock and Francis Ford Coppola are probably careers that Tarantino wants to avoid.
Look at Pollock, did Absence of Malice, Tootsie and Out of Africa in the 80s then a string of drek in the 90s.
Coppola had a lot of great movies in the 70s, 80s and 90s. But, also some bad movies in-between the good ones. Like Jack in the 90s. Remember Jack? The movie where Robin Williams plays a 10 year old boy?
Yeah, perhaps Tarantino wants to avoid his Jack moment and get out while the getting is good.
Also, there's whatever it was Coppola was trying to do in the early 2000s.
why.... why not just dont watch the movies, Why would you want something to be done you wont even see anyway?I am not a fan of Tarantino so I was looking forward to him being done, but this seemed like an odd premise to go out on.
