Hmmm. I reckon Tarantino jumped the shark about a third of the way
through 'Jackie Brown'. R Dogs was a blast of frsh air compared to the
sort of rubbish that was around at the time. Pulp Fiction, despite being
about as deep as a birdbath and as realistic as Bugs Bunny, was
massively enjoyable. Jackie Brown wasted De Niro and wasn't half as hip
as an Elmore Leonard novel, but it was still just about worth watching
twice. Kill Bill, Grindhouse, etc.? Fuggedaboutit.

I'm really looking forward to Quentin Tarantino's next movie, Inglorious
Basterds.  I've read the screenplay, and it's fantastic.  It's a WWII
story that plays around heavily with the facts.  Funny and interesting.

By the way, Tarantino's script is full of grammatical and spelling
errors.  It's surprising that they chose not to correct his misspelled
title.
