Im glad someone explained that guy in the dino cage gif because it is NOT obvious hes pulling a tooth as he shakes his crotch in close proximity to a dino mouth. Ive only seen parts of Fallen Kingdom. I liked Jurassic Park, but it had a mean streak that makes additional viewings difficult. Its like watching Once Upon a Time in Hollywood. The first time was good. The second time you start wondering what the directors problem with women is.

AFewBricksShy posted:I suspect that at one point there was an intent to have a punchline to that whole scene of her climbing, soaking wet, out of the tank and saying something like "I quit". It's the only way that scene makes any sense being in the movie, otherwise it's just needlessly mean. from what i've heard, it was originally supposed to be a whole subplot where the shithead kid just desperately wants her to die for whatever reason and then she dies that way, with the brutality being sort of a finger on the monkey's paw curling to make him feel really bad about it which still sounds kind of weird and bad but at least makes sense?

Even when Tarentino has female leads as protagonists, other women in the film get treated on a level that borders on cruelty.

Tarantino is the poster child for that phenomenon where you're acutely aware when watching a scene that the director only put it in the film to wank to.

Technically he put it in so you would know he would wank to it and likes that you know so good job being complicit with his meta-masturbation.

Bussamove posted:Quentin Tarantino has a... problematic history with women in his movies, yes. Death Proof is good, but only the second half. Hateful Eight is fantastic, except for all the parts where theyre beating on the one woman. Once Upon a Time has Oscar caliber performances, as long as you pretend youre Rick Daltons new wife and sleep through that final scene. At least Inglorious Basterds only had the one woma...no, wait, yep just like Hateful Eight. Tarantino is consistent for sure.

BioEnchanted posted:Even his female leads have weird problems like the Bride getting raped while comatose in the hospital. That was so completely unnecessary, especially the cruel fakeout. It's set up as though this is the first time Buck or anyone else has raped the Bride in particular, and you're ready for her to wake up and take revenge when this dude starts touching her. But then Tarantino just had to stick in that "Oh wait, I forgot, her vagina gets real dry so here's some Vaseline" And only Ving Rhames actually gets raped in Pulp Fiction, and it only happens the once.

I've just finished watching Banshee's last season and I'm pissed that they did my boy Burton dirty. On the other hand, I was surprised at how dark Michael Bluth got after he ditched his old family.

Alhazred posted:Basterds is extra yikes because Tarantino insisted on choking Diane Kruger and he really does choke her out. I thought the story was that Tarantino acting as hand model was Diane Kruger's idea because she trusted him. Edit: But that would imply that she didn't trust Christoph Waltz... hosed up if true.

No, you're apparently thinking of the time he choked Uma Thurman during Kill Bill - he claims that was her idea but for Basterds, it was because he hates it when women don't look authentically strangled in films, so he had to dress up like a nazi and choke his actress for realism.

Taken in a vacuum there's a logic to it, he's doing something that could theoretically go horribly wrong so as the boss he doesn't think it would be fair to delegate that responsibility on anyone else. If it goes wrong, he wants to be the one solely to blame. Of course, his track record is more than just that so you can't really take it in a vacuum.

Pilchenstein posted:Eh, even without his track record I'd still be asking why he's such an expert on what stranglings look like Well I think we've all seen a movie or t.v. show where someone is being strangled and you can clearly see that they aren't actually being strangled. He wanted it to look as real as possible, which is a relatively normal instinct for a movie director to have. I have more of an issue with his insistence on writing himself into Pulp Fiction as a guy who loves to say the n-word.

He's a very hands-on director. I don't necessarily have a problem with how he did it, but the more you know about Tarantino the worse it gets. I didn't necessarily have a problem with Brad Pitt's character in Once Upon a Time, but knowing his history I wouldn't get on a boat with him.

The Jimmy scene was desperately needed comic relief. It's slotted between sticking a watch up your rear end and anal rape. Without it you've got about 20 minutes of straight butt stuff. The audience needs a break. The language is rough, but it also gave us signs about dead [insert noun] storage, good coffee, Oak Man, and The Wolf.

Uh the watch scene is one of the funniest things QT ever committed to screen. Also, he was the one to push the watch up Christopher Walken.
