i agree with you on tarantino about having only one great hit, but Kill Bill was a masterpiece, how Tarantino went through other movies and found ideas was brilliantName some specific movies that you guys feel are crappy. How many Japanese movies have you actually watched?
And I agree with built-to-spill in that Tarantino is so massively overhyped.
Let's look at the movies he's directed (from IMDB)
Kill Bill: Vol. 2 (2004) -sucked
Kill Bill: Vol. 1 (2003) -sucked. I almost just walked out of the theater on this one
Jackie Brown (1997) -never seen
Four Rooms (1995) (segment "The Man from Hollywood") -never seen
Pulp Fiction (1994) -his one and only decent film
Reservoir Dogs (1992) -BORING
My Best Friend's Birthday (1987) -never seen
So out of all of these movies he's only made one decent one. Bah.

I was about to get uppity with you until I realized I was confusing Takashi Miike with Takeshi Kitano. Oops.Ebola Gay wrote: Eh, I've watched a fair amount. But, now that I think about it, many of which were directed by Takashi Miike, who for the most part is a crappy director.
I haven't seen any of Miike's films yet, malictus told me once that Audition was pretty good though.
Anyways, some of my favorites (with imdb links 'cause I was bored):

Out of those all I've seen are Moulin Rouge and The Suicide Club. Moulin Rouge is awesome but The Suicide Club is just... wtf. Yeah, I didn't like TSC too much.
