Tarantino.
Im sure the guy is lovely, but his films just rub me the wrong way. They are usually too long, too slow, and have maybe one or two aspects that hold it up, but the rest drag it down.
Take Pulp Fiction for example: I'll probably get crucified for this, but I just don't understand the appeal. I think that it is very weirdly edited together (for the worse), Sam L is criminally underused, and the entire second and third acts are completely pointless in the grand scheme of things, other than the fact that John Travolta dies. I also thought that a lot of the dialogue was cringy at best, and a lot of scenes overstayed their welcome.
I really wanted to like Inglorious Basterds, and I loved Christoph Waltz's character and performance, but whenever the film focused on the cinema lady, the film took a sharp turn into boredom territory, and the whole thing just dragged whenever it wasn't focusing on Brad Pitt's character and crew.
Personally, I think that Django is Tarantino's best film, and that is mostly because it manages to miss pretty much every problem that I have with his other films, other than the fact that it is damned long. It also contains some amazing performances from pretty much everybody involved. Good stuff.
Its also super unfortunate, because both my best friend and girlfriend love him and his films, and my girlfriend also wants to call one of her kids Quentin.
