Point?

And I'm saying that change isn't something to be appreciated.

Tarantino basically indirectly gave us stuff like Lock Stock and Two Smoking Barrels, Lucky Number Slevin and Snatch. I don't think I'd miss them if they hadn't happened.

Guy Ritchie is fun. Well, a few of his films are.
Lucky Number Slevin is a retarded piece of **** for retarded retards.

Well, obviously yeah.

They wouldn't of existed for you to miss them/not miss them in the first place.

So you're the 100% literal type, eh?

People who constantly bash Tarantino are just pretentious wankers that need shooting immediately.

The kind of people who watch Seven Seal, Tokyo Story and Metropolis in one sitting and proceed to think they're the piniccle of taste in film.

The kind of people that will wait till 'Ambiancé' comes out and then go around lying to everyone that they saw the entire thing and thought it was 'inspired' just so they can feel as though they have more credibility than everyone else because they made everyone think they watched an 'avant grade' black and white 30day long load of filler fuelled trash.

X 1000

Or maybe people just watch the kind of movies they connect with the most. I don't go around and bash Tarantino constantly, but I'm not really a fan. I've seen most of them, at least.

Don't divide movies up in pretentious/not pretentious. There's a lot of really good drama films and a lot of really good genre films. Doesn't have to be either/or.

A friend of mine who is mostly a gamer and not really that into movies has a version of that opinion. He'll talk about movies as if there's only the sort he knows (Star Wars, X-Men, Terminator, Ghostbusters) and then pretentious indie art house movies with slow moving shots and violin music, accompanied by some read-aloud French poetry or whatever. He basically doesn't know what the hell he's talking about.

He doesn't really care enough about movies, so I just give it a pass and stop arguing with him.
