He needs to get back to making the kinds of movies he's good at, rather than try and impress us with his (not particularly impressive) knowledge of cult films.

I don't care about being impressed, I care about being entertained. And though I love the gangster flicks era -- I for one am glad that he moved on. I've talked at great length about my love for his recent films, so I won't bother. But in case you didn't read it one of the 100 other times it was mentioned in this thread -- I'm the dude that loves Death Proof. (I've seriously watched it probably as many times as everyone else on this forum has combined, haha). The thing is this -- I think a lot of you are hoping for a "good" or "serious" horror film from him. Instead he makes shitty b-movie trash. With a big budget and viewed by millions. Which makes me happy.
