Actually, allow me to expound on that. I've heard a similiar argument from anyone that defends a Tarantino film - How It's MEANT to be cheesy, it's MEANT to be senselessly violent/stupid as a homage to pulp comics/gangster movies/80s sitcoms/Home alone/Japanese samurai films.

So:

1. Has Tarantino done ANYTHING that is not a homage or something or another?
2. Has Tarantino done ANYTHING that is allowed to be criticized because it isn't following someone else's stupid idea?
3. Does a person's intent really weigh in on whether or not a piece of shit is a piece of shit?

I like Tarantino films, but the guy is a total jackass, and his hardcore fans all use the same excuses to dismiss his shortcomings.
