Quentin Tarantino still wants to retire after his next film, The Hateful Eight - Polidicks

[quote]Quentin Tarantino has made plans for film retirement after The Hateful Eight, saying that completing ten films and leaving people wanting more "sounds right", though he cautioned that [B]"nothing is etched in stone".[/B] During a Q&A for his new Western, Tarantino suggested he was not far from retiring, to which cast member Samuel L. Jackson questioned what he will do if not working in cinema. "Writing plays and books, going gracefully into my tender years," Tarantino replied. "I don’t believe you should stay onstage until people are begging you to get off," he added. "I like the idea of leaving them wanting a bit more. I do think directing is a young man’s game, and I like the idea of an umbilical cord connection from my first to my last movie. I’m not trying to ridicule anyone who thinks differently, but I want to go out while I’m still hard. "I like that I will leave a 10-film filmography, and so I’ve got two more to go after this. It’s not etched in stone, but that is the plan. If I get to the 10th, do a good job and don’t screw it up, well that sounds like a good way to end the old career. "If, later on, I come across a good movie, I won’t not do it just because I said I wouldn’t. But 10 and done, leaving them wanting more — that sounds right." Take Tarantino's retirement with a pinch of salt, this is the man who threw a sulk after The Hateful Eight's script was leaked saying he would no longer make the film, only to go back on the decision weeks later. The director's first film of his "10" was 1992's Reservoir Dogs, his last cinemas outing being the slave drama Django Unchained which won two Academy Awards last year.[/quote] [Source: [url=http://www.independent.co.uk/arts-entertainment/films/news/quentin-tarantino-to-retire-after-the-hateful-eight-9852796.html]Independent.co.uk[/url]

Good move, if anything. Better to leave on a high note than to burn out. Of course, if he comes up with more legitimately fantastic films, I'm all for it.

I guess he wants to go before he feels he gets close to losing his touch rather than realising he's going downhill and deciding to stop. He did say "nothing is set in stone" tho, so who knows, and he says he's gonna keep writing plays and books. So he'll not be gone and I'm sure he will continue to be a big voice in cinema. He won't disappear with his last film.

[QUOTE=Coyoteze;46462500]How was Django a step backwards? Django was fucking awesome![/QUOTE] It was a fine film, but you could see there was something lacking (like two additional hours, that were cut from the final version). It was enjoyable but it wasn't the same level as Inglourious Basterds, just that.

[QUOTE=Coyoteze;46462500]How was Django a step backwards? Django was fucking awesome![/QUOTE] film was good but it was a regression for Tarantino, nothing new whatsoever and far less interesting than pretty much anything else he's done. His most childish work too. The film is just Inglourious Basterds again but in a different setting and way less interesting and compelling.

The humor and plot had more intricacies and spin to it. I thought Django felt really flat in some way.

doesn't he say this all the time?

[QUOTE=Coyoteze;46462500]How was Django a step backwards? Django was fucking awesome![/QUOTE] It was a good, fun film, but it certainly wasn't as intricate as earlier works like Pulp Fiction or Kill Bill. Actually... it was too much like both those films jammed together into trying to be 12 years a slave AND a revenge fantasy. I really liked it, though.

[QUOTE=TheFilmSlacker;46462860]Please no, we need Kill Bill 3 first. He said before that he wanted to do it, but he's waiting for some of the child actors to grow up. He said it would be kind of like his "Dollars trilogy".[/QUOTE]Kill Bill 3: [sp]Kill Zombie Bill[/sp] Right? :v:

[QUOTE=Solo Wing;46462877]Kill Bill 3: [sp]Kill Zombie Bill[/sp] Right? :v:[/QUOTE] [sp]Just change the title and follow the little girl who came home from school after the Bride killed her mother and told her that "If she wanted revenge, I'll be waiting" or something[/sp]

I guess we'll never get to see a Tarantino scifi film then...

Then who will IMDB forums worship (other than Christopher Nolan) now!!

Could be worse things to do than retire leaving a legacy of ten films. Especially when many of them are regarded as some of the best films of all time. Got high hopes for this next one, I loved Django and I love the 'western' style setting

[QUOTE=proch;46463376]I think Django fucking blew Inglorious Basterds out of the water.[/QUOTE] As an action flick, maybe. As a in-depth analysis of period in history that pulled apart some common beliefs about war and fighting? Not even close.

Which is what it was. Django was just two dudes shooting hundreds of other dudes.

[QUOTE=valkery;46463594]Which was my point? Django= action flick IB= intellectual piece[/QUOTE] There are about 3 actions scenes in Django, with one of them actually being comedy and the other one in a montage.

but you can't say Django is a better action film than Inglourious Basterds when IB was not an action film lol that comparison is totally pointless

[QUOTE=RichyZ;46463288]pretty much i love both movies but django doesn't have any deeper meaning than "slavery was bad" which doesn't really even need to be said on the otherhand inglorious basterds is one of the few movies that portrays americans as the "bad guys" as much as the nazis, though for different reasons[/QUOTE] Why does it [I]need[/I] to have a deeper meaning?

django owns, inglorious basterds owns, tarantino owns

[QUOTE=proch;46463579]And yet it managed to be more entertaining.[/QUOTE] Depends on what you like, entirely subjective. I just found that Inglorious had clever jokes and dialogues with more tense moments. Django was pretty blunt.

Theres shooting but i wouldnt call just shooting basically bounties action. The only action part is the shootout in the mansion and when he kills that gang (which was like 15 seconds). hell, its about the same as inglorious bastards with small skirmishes and one massive finale.

[QUOTE=proch;46463376]I think Django fucking blew Inglorious Basterds out of the water.[/QUOTE] basically anyone who has watched inglorious basterds will disagree

[QUOTE=proch;46463376]I think Django fucking blew Inglorious Basterds out of the water.[/QUOTE] Hans Landa was a mile ahead of Leonardo DiCaprio. [img]http://33.media.tumblr.com/9a35ad614455db747ceb0fd452194e21/tumblr_mibn3uwUXC1r0qx2zo6_500.gif[/img]

they're both great movies but I felt Inglorious Basterds was better

To be honest, I think this may be the best feasible career path for him. Unless, of course, he continually makes quality films.

He is one of the good ones. Everyone likes at least one of his films, which goes without saying that he's done a pretty good career for himself. Hopefully The Hateful Eight will be good also.
