BS is cool, but again, it just tries too hard to be Tarantino.

I also think Tarantino is at times pretty entertaining. I just feel the need to jump in when people think his movies are artful masterpieces and he is the best director ever and stuff.

I can agree that there are many superior directors and writers to Tarantino. Most people claiming to have found the perfect movie / director are delusional.
He just makes good stuff. Consistently good, entertaining work. For decades. That is RARE.

He's basically like Joss Whedon. Their respective niches are massively entertaining and nobody does it quite like them, but if I heard they were doing a movie or TV show that was a departure from their styles I'd be highly dubious. They're golf clubs or kitchen knives that are great for their roles but you're not necessarily going to use them for anything else.
But **** it they fillet a fish like nothing else.

Since it had Nathan Fillion in it I assumed it was a Whedon-ized version of Shakespeare that would be entertaining for reasons other than being good Shakespeare. I did want to see it though.

I'm no expert, but I think it's actually good Shakespeare. It's also a really funny, less heavy story than a lot of his plays, so it's not that hard to appreciate. I wonder if Whedon will ever do anything like that again. |

Even if he has his schtick he at least does spread it over a wide net. You should read the comic run he did on X-Men. It's legit fantastic and you don't even have to make allowances for him not being a dedicated comic writer. It's also kind of like him coming full circle since his whole original inspiration for Buffy was Shadowcat, who made her return to the team during his tenure. Dude was born to write X-Men comics.
