The Hateful Eight was his 8th.

Some people are hoping his last 2 will be a Kill Bill 3.

But I am hoping for a more comtemporary crime film on the level of Reservoir Dogs, Pulp Fiction, and Jackie Brown.

Creative people should never say shit like this. Retire when you die. What is he going to do if he gets inspired? Be like "I mean, I said I was done, oh well". Plus hasnt Miyazaki retired like, a million times?

Plus he was sure he wouldnt make Hateful Eight at all anyways, even publicly read the screen-play to people cause he was so sure.

I didn't really like Kill Bill but I think it would be more interesting with an older woman in the role, so I guess that'd be fine.

I feel like this is good news though. Creatively, feeling like you need to keep producing content is a very difficult thing for an artist, especially when you're constantly trying to push the envelope, be creative and meet people's expectations. Tarantino more than most is probably very well aware of the fact that he's not innovating like he used to, and I imagine this provides him with a sense of "I'm only going to make two more films, so I really need to make them good".

This may be all talk, but that's okay. If he doesn't feel obligated to make more movies after these next two, then anything he does make is probably going to be a true passion project of creative expression.

Or do what wrestlers do, go into a kind semi-retirement and only come back for the occasional gig or if they have an idea for a good feud.

He could just say he wants to take a break, or not focus on film making, or...nothing, atleast until asked.

As a huge fan of his, I never assume he is making a movie, and considering his independence and ability to maintain creative control, its not like he has people breathing down his neck like others might.

Plus I want more Tarantino rather than less.

[Marter]

I mean, he said that, like, half a decade ago, right? Or was that just that he'd retire at 60, and we looked at the rate at which he released films and thought that he probably would get to about 10?

Clarification: Yeah, it was that. He did say he'd retire after 10 in 2014 [http://deadline.com/2014/11/quentin-tarantino-retirement-hateful-eight-international-release-1201280583/], though.

Well, it just bothers me when creative types say stuff like this.

 

[Chanticoblues]

Seems odd to put an asterisk on your retirement day like that. Directors rarely retire, especially not ones as film-crazed as Tarantino.

I think it's part of our identity culture. Like he has to announce it and make a big deal out of it so he can convince himself as much as the rest of the world that he's done.

I'm totally with you that it's very short sighted... But ya know, ya just learn that the phrase "Never Say Never" is 100% true from these kind of circumstances.

Yeah...
How DARE someone say they want to stop working and retire? That asshole owes me more movies! Seriously though, if he wanted to stop and said "Nope I'm done, not even one more movie." He's more than able to do that. I see no reason to be upset with him

Yeah, Miyazaki gets it. He retires when he feels uninspired, but then he gets inspired again and makes another one. Normally I'd just say don't retire, but since he's the head of a studio, and not just a director for hire, things are a little different.

I do find it weird that Tarantino is so fixated on making ten films. He should just make as many as feel right, and then retire. Anything else feels forced or limiting.

Dont.

That is a very good, very accurate movie about the life of a wrestler, but it skips one important beat.

And that? Is the love of the business. The love the wrestlers have for it, and the loves the hardcore fans have for it.

Like the movie doesn't represent shit like the fans donating to a GoFundMe to pay so a wrestler like Sabu can get neck surgery so he can keep doing what he loves doing. There's a reason I'm proud to be a apart of that niche part of nerdom.

Really? I admit that I'm an outsider, so maybe my views a little inaccurate, but I definitely got the impression that the protagonist and the fans loved the sport. Like there was a certain tenderness there. I didn't feel like it was a negative portrayal of the sport, the guys definitely seemed to love it. It just showed the cost some people paid to be able to do what they loved.

I could relate to it, despite not being familiar with the sport. I want to be a writer, for instance, but then I hit a bit of a wall. Like, there's so much stuff already out there, and most people forget about what they read or watch shortly after seeing it. It hurts when I see people say "that was so last year," or "I haven't thought about that movie in ten years. It was pretty good." I realized that, in many cases, books aren't really that much more permanent then a performance, like wrestling. So why am I doing it? You can be king of the world during your lifetime, but then you retire and most people forget you. I made my peace with that a long time ago. I realized that, if my work touched a few people the way that my favorite works touched me, then it was worth it. What if my favorite storytellers took that attitude, and never made anything? The world would be a lesser place for the loss. I also realized that if I was doing it for fame, then I was doing it for the wrong reasons. If I did it at all, then I needed to do it because I loved it.

That's the impression that I got from the movie. I've been told my whole life that I'm a real good writer. And I think I am. Good enough to make a career out of it. But, the truth is, I'm a one trick pony. I don't think I'm good at anything else, and if I don't make it in writing then I don't think I'll ever make it anywhere else. Watching The Wrestler, I got that impression as well. The guys a legend inside the ring, where he's talented, and happy, and passionate. But take him outside of that, and he's just a guy packing meat at Kroger. He's a fuck up. And I totally relate to that.

...I'm in the rare position where I get to drop science on a ************... that's pretty cool.

Fox, I am in that same position. I am the person thats told he writes well. I'm a fucking english major working as a security guard... granted my first novel is in progress, I'm just saying... same boat as you.

1. "I want to be writer."

************, do you write? Do you write regardless of dollar signs? Are you coming up with a plot in your head as you're reading this? Then you are a writer. It doesn't matter if you get paid for it.

2. Like, there's so much stuff already out there, and most people forget about what they read or watch shortly after seeing it. It hurts when I see people say "that was so last year,"

Don't ever listen to critics. Critics are just people that can't create themselves. The only people that argue this point, are critics. Heres the other thing, everything has already been done to death a 1,000 times over in art. Its just a matter of finding the thing that hasn't been done to death lately. The recipe for creating a good story hasn't changed. It's like a soup, sure you can replace Chicken with another stock, but soup is soup at the end of the day.

3. Above all else, YOU ARE A WRITER. You're literally genre savy. If you keep a wits about you you're always gonna know whats coming before anybody else and that will keep you ahead.

Also, side note, Randy The Ram is Portrayed in that universe as Hulk Hogan.... well our real Hulk Hogan isn't living a trailer and packing meat at kroger is he?

and as a fellow writer... Have faith. The creme, as in all businesses, always rises to the top.

 

[Baffle]

Does this include all the films he's made of women's feet? I was in the casting for one of those, but I actually have feet than make Bilbo Baggins look like the Veet girl (if there is such a thing).

He is super independent and free to work how he wants, a luxury most people dont. He doesnt have the obligations most people do for his job until he wants to actually make a film, something that is a creative thing and one where due to his independence and smart actions over the years, he maintains tons of control over.

Its not even about him owing anyone anything, I just think its short sighted to say he is never doing something he clearly loves doing ever again.

Some people are hoping his last 2 will be a Kill Bill 3.

But I am hoping for a more comtemporary crime film on the level of Reservoir Dogs, Pulp Fiction, and Jackie Brown.

I'm fine with almost anything. I like how that didn't stick with those kinds of movies, even though I found RD and JB pretty good and PF great. Kill Bill V3 would be anticlimactic, though. It works fine as two movies.

Plus hasnt Miyazaki retired like, a million times?

I didn't pay attention to Miyazaki during his earlier retirement claims, but I believe him. I would be surprised if he made another movie at his age and after saying how he doesn't have the energy anymore.

I just think its smarter to say they are just taking a break, or taking it easy or something. Maybe suggest not to be expectantly waiting for the next thing from them, but it is short-sighted to say they are just done forever. I mean, I actually always expect the current Tarantino film to be the last really. I was surprised when Inglorious Basterds came out. I was surprised when Django Unchained came out, and I was definatly surprised when Hateful Eight (a film he said would NEVER get made) came out.

I just assumed he was always the person who says "I will make something when I feel like it". But what if he feels like it after he is supposedly done? I mean, Im sure he will just make it anyways, but why make people go "But didnt you say you retired?"
