Good or Great Artistry Aside, Bruce Lee's Still Pimp

by Jillian Butler, Ampersandology


There's recycling genre tropes, and then...then there's Quentin Tarantino.

My favorite part is when he starts ripping off himself, near the end. Hey, I'm not hatin' on the guy. If we're going to believe Picasso, this is how the great stuff gets made.

Sometimes I pretend that QT died after Pulp Fiction and that the coke-fiend behind Inglorious Basterds was an impostor.
I've heard that he was supposed to play Brad Pitt's character. That means that the movie would have ended with him looking into the camera saying, "I think this is my masterpiece." Presented without comment.
