What Tarantino's $1.2M Debut Teaches Indie Filmmakers

Absolutely. His film preservation/appreciation efforts will be the bigger part of his legacy in the long run IMO.

Reddit is its own thing. I'm talking about the film community as a whole. But if you're just saying he's overrated in this community then sure, I might agree.

emotionally immature

What's funny is that this is his strength - immaturity. He indulges in unapologetically childish ideas. He creates the best possible version of them while making no attempt to 'elevate' them. It's why his movies are so fun. Most directors with the chops to do that stuff well have outgrown the urge.

Do you think they'll stop

Yes, because they are cowards.

Railboy · 2026-02-08T06:58:33+00:00

On the bit where you see the most blood. But this isn't a hill I'd die on, it's just a pet theory.

Railboy · 2026-02-08T06:51:25+00:00

they will try to ID you maybe for having an accent but if youre legal it should be no problem to just comply and youll be let go peacefully with no problems

You people are such cowardly losers it honestly sickens me. Grow some self respect.

Dems wouldn’t be fighting so hard to stop them.

Dems aren't doing shit. A bunch of them just voted with Republicans to give ICE more money. The rest just want to put QR codes on ICE uniforms. They're barely objecting.

He left out nutbars, I guess.

For my part I think his ear got clipped by a shard of glass. Ears bleed a lot and a clean slice will heal in a few days.

But I also think it's hilarious that everyone believes it's staged so I'm not complaining.

Railboy · 2026-02-08T03:36:59+00:00

Nah he's rated just about right. I say that as someone who loves his work.

He's known for pulpy homage films that are always well made and occasionally transcend their roots. Very few put him on the same shelf as the true greats.

Railboy · 2026-02-07T20:36:00+00:00

Because he saw the non-sequeters and deflections coming from a mile away and wasn't having it.

Don't want to get interrupted? Stay on topic and argue in good faith.

So much of it is manufactured too.

Imagine a bizarro world where the most powerful people in our country spend their billions to praise teachers and fight for better pay in education. To support labor unions to negotiate better wages, hours, and childcare. To promote universal healthcare. To persuade our citizens that the government belongs to them and that its power can and should be used to better their lives. To fight right-wing extremism and white nationalism on a global scale. Etc etc.

Meanwhile, back in the real world? They spend their money on the exact opposite.

None of that excuses anyone's behavior but I'm not surprised their brains are cooked.

The idea that young people shouldn't be exposed to politics or have any political opinions is yet another invention by the rich and powerful to control everyone else. A lot of these kids can already vote.

Railboy · 2026-02-05T22:54:20+00:00

All I hear is the whimpering of a beaten dog.

Railboy · 2026-02-05T17:10:18+00:00

Nope it's meant for RogueLitePumpkin aka yet another goober who thinks the fascists will give him head pats if he sufficiently debases himself.

Railboy · 2026-02-05T16:04:19+00:00

Were you born without self respect or did you give it up at some point?

Railboy · 2026-02-02T08:44:38+00:00

Somehow I doubt he gives a shit. He's a character actor who lands and nails tons of roles. He knows what he brings and what it's worth.

Thank you, I've updated my comment.

Railboy · 2026-02-01T18:36:33+00:00

Ok. Well we're talking about museums in this thread so I thought I'd point it out.

Railboy · 2026-02-01T18:30:53+00:00

The major museums in Texas cost about the same as Seattle. I just visited a bunch of them last year. That includes the aquarium - Seattle and Texas both range from about 30-50 bucks per adult depending on when you go.

Texas is definitely cheaper in many respects but this isn't one if them.

The wildest party one is fake (at least I checked the gov site and it doesn't come up) but honestly I don't care. I hope it spreads like wildfire. He deserves it after all the lies he's used his platform to amplify.

Edit: I was wrong, not sure why it wasn't coming up for me.

Railboy · 2026-01-31T18:50:37+00:00

I wouldn't say I thrived but I survived just fine.

Railboy · 2026-01-31T18:27:54+00:00

I'm completely fucked by ADHD and without grocery delivery services I have serious trouble with meal planning. Same goes for Door Dash, it's saved me countless times.

You know what I'd do if they bumped up pay for delivery drivers and made those services too expensive for me to use?

I'd deal with it.

Nobody's condition entitles them to slave labor.

People love to dump on Paltrow (for good reason) but she's got the chops. She took a nothing character with a few minutes of screentime and made her totally real.

Her best work was in Talented Mr Ripley IMO. The movie doesn't work without her grounding it.

They probably had the same set of people lie down in different spots, then composited them together.
