    Tarantino has some stupid-ass rules for himself. Won’t watch a remake, won’t make films past 10, likes Joker 2…

    I mean, I can understand him not liking Oliver Stone’s version of Natural Born Killers… even though I enjoyed it more on multiple viewings, but to not even give some remakes a chance… it’s just stupid.

    Imagine not watching The Wizard of Oz because he’s seen the 1925 version. Or Scarface, or The Departed, or Cape Fear, or The Thing, or Ocean’s 11, or The Birdcage.

    And didn’t he pitch a remake of First Blood and thought about remaking his own Reservoir Dogs?

    I like his movies, but he’s a hypocrite.

      I think he’s just good at self-promotion through coming out with these provocative - and completely arbitrary - takes to stay in the media.

      It’s also stupid to call it a remake when it’s an entirely different attempt at an adaptation of a book
