re: #86 William Barnett-Lewis

Isn’t Taranteno the guy who saw a cool Hong Kong Action Flick and has remade it a dozen times now with only the names being changed?

/// barely.

Taranteno is a much better director than he gets credit for. He is slavishly devoted to his 70’s b-movie aesthetics, but he does a lot of interesting things despite that. The opening scene in “Inglourious Basterds” could be used as a textbook case of how to build tension in a movie.
