I was listening to Tarantino talk about cinema the other day and he made the point that there is a generation now who only know of cinema as being the Marvel universe and super hero movies in general. The almost total saturation of cinema as super hero films IS cinema to them. They never knew anything else. And that's very weird, and sad. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We've already ascertained that there are VTers who've never watched a black and white movie (and wouldn't even consider it), or even anything made before the 1980s. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aren’t his films basically comic book style with what he considers a cool soundtrack? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aren’t his films basically comic book style No. They are frequently stylised around different genres (often using multiple genres in one movie), but I wouldn't say that they are comic book style in style tbh (maybe elements of Kill Bill?) He does love a cool soundtrack though and let's face it, he does it very well. Edited February 27 by Designer1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Genie Posted February 27 Share Posted February 27 I’m always expecting him to appear in the news with a bunch of allegations of inappropriate behaviour made against him. He looks like a wrong ‘un. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

First mobile was when `i was 19 or 20 as well. My first couple of phones never had SMS enabled as standard from memory. Was probably 2 or 3 years later when i started texting! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
