Reservoir Dogs Coming To UHD

I think a lot of the brilliance in Jackie Brown is derived from Elmore Leonard.

Has to be more than a coincidence that Tarantino's most mature and emotionally complex film is based on someone else's work.

Obviously Tarantino does a great job adapting it, I haven't read Rum Punch but apparently the film is quite different, but Leonard's virtues as a writer are pretty clear in the film.

I'd argue that INGLOURIOUS BASTERDS is his most mature (and best) film to date.

I only watched it once when it was relatively new, but I dug it a lot. I also fall in the camp of not getting the fuss about JACKIE BROWN. Really need to re-watch it one of these days to see if my opinion has changed.

All that to say that I appreciate Tarantino's thoughtfulness more often than not but think that he stepped over a line with DJANGO UNCHAINED. Maybe it's hypocritical for me to be okay with him fiddling with a nasty real-life murder or the holocaust but not with slavery but that's just how it shakes out with me. To be clear, I'm a fan of his who just happens to think he failed miserably in a few instances in his career.

Ok. So, we're not really so much in disagreement about content as we are about tone?
