Tarantino has always seemed ego-centric, driven to create more and more on-screen mayhem, bloodshed and violent images to maintain his own. The publicity that preceded "Pulp Fiction" all those years ago was enough to keep me away. I have seen a few of his films, the "Kill Bill" series. That was enough. I just love the manner in which he holds himself above reproach as seen in this interview clip below.

I hated Pulp Fiction. Then I read about Tarintino - yep, an arrogant ass. Thankfully, if he remains true to his words, he's retiring as a director. Says he wants to go out on top and Not make films as a dottering old man.
I hope he also moves to Bosnia.
I find the older I get, the less I can stomach irresponsible, unnecessarcy, gratuitous violence.
I totally agree.
Violence is a national obsession and sickness at all levels and phases....:(
troutbirder: great name! thank you for visiting and leaviing a comment. I love it when new readers make themselves known.
It's funny. I am a Liberal and Joe Scarborough is not someone I often agree with about much of anything. But he's on board with something I've believed for many years, even before I had children. I think continued exposure to violent acts, images and messages HAS to have an effect on some if not many. Why? I work in advertising. The golden rule has always been to send the message over & over til they get it and begin to react. Well?
Anyway, Hollywood loves to disavow any responsiblity for said reactions. It's all very disingenuous if not downright bullshit.
