Hot take: Quentin Tarantino is the most overrated living director. His only good movies were Jackie Brown and Pulp Fiction. Everything else is a parody of itself (not in a good way) because he just takes scenes from other movies, mashes them together in a nonlinear story, then has everyone die because he doesn't know how to write an ending to the incoherent plot he's spliced together from better filmmakers.
I also suspect he was buddy-buddy with Harvey Weinstein but managed to slip under the radar because he avoids talking about his personal life.
not really a hot take. he is a technically proficient slop merchant, makes some enjoyable movies but it's laughable when he comes up in the conversation for best american director. Kubrick imo is basically untouchable in that department.

He's a sex pest and creeped on Uma Thurman for many years. I don't accept "eccentric genius" passes from treat defenders, either.
What about his camera angles?
