The editing point is a good one -no surprise that his films lost some of their tightness after his editor (Sally Menke) tragically died after Inglorious Basterds.

If he edited his films down to 2 hours or less then they’d improve immeasurably. The slow pace doesn’t as anything but boredom.
Reservoir Dogs is good.

What's the feet count in each of QT's films?

I like them all, some more than others
They are definitely better on the big screen though for some reason

I know he didn't direct it but he did the screenplay for From Dusk to Dawn which is probably the best Tarantino related film.

That's not even his best screenplay he didn't direct, let alone his best film.

QT is one of those directors that I personally love but I can totally understand it being a matter of taste thing. He's got a style all his own which is objectively a good thing but as a result he divides opinion.
Speaking of which: Hideo Kojima is a terrible director. As a game director he's second to none, but as a film director comparing his cinematics to traditional films, he doesn't have a clue about clarity, pacing, nor the principle of "show don't tell". Frankly all of his shortcomings could be fixed by a bold editor but I doubt anybody could stand up and tell him to cut out 8 hours of exposition.
Ironically the rushed development of MGS5 helped in this regard but possibly ended up too far the other way

Sushi - I'll literally eat anything, but sushi is bloody awful. Is it healthy, sure! Does it taste good.. It's raw fish, of course not.
I'm always told I'm doing it wrong, that you've got to dunk it in all the condiments they're served with to make it taste good.. Which just proves my point. Anything that needs to be drowned in soy and/or wasabi to mask the taste of the main thing you're eating needs to sod off home.

I lost it at "soak the sushi in soy sauce until it's noticeably heavier"
They did a few other videos. My favourite is the origami one, but the chopsticks and dating ones are also great.

Oooh I love the fucking dick out of sushi. I could eat it all day every day. For my birthday earlier this year my wife ordered us a huge selection of locally made sushi and it was one of the bestest things I'd ever had.

As for my unpopular opinion, I think Nintendo are the the most overrated company in gaming. They just keep regurgigating the same shit with just improved graphics. I don't understand why people are willing to buy Mario Kart, Zelda, Metroid over and over and over. Sheeptendo? That's the entire game industry in a sentence
I can see how their games all look the same to people who don't play or like them but most of them are distinctive. Majora's Mask was literally regurgitated assets from Ocarina but is completely different and unique (and great). Mario games tend to have more unique ideas in one game than some series manage over several sequels
They just have excellent quality control and have perfected their craft
People are willing to buy the games over and over because they're still fun games to play. There's nothing to understand really

Quite sure it'll be an unpopular opinion, though it really shouldn't be. A Way Out and It Takes Two are undeserving of any praise. A Way Out was bad, but laughably so. A Way Out had a very strong opening and I enjoyed some of the moments. Keeping lookout at night whilst the other chisels away at the wall was nice enough. Somewhat spoilt by seeing the other players screen, would have been better if it was done solely through chat, but still a nice touch. Then the teamwork quickly descends into "doors that are just heavy/stuck enough that one person can't open them". As soon as you leave the prison though it goes downhill. There's a house with a bunch of minigames and then a chase scene with the stupidest gamepley. Police cars don't try to block your car so much as they try to kamikaze you to death. Tens and tens of them... Then the dramatic stuff happens, reuniting with an ex and estranged son in a trailer park whilst the other player/recently escaped convict gets to creep around with the kid... Then someone needs to be interrogated as to the whereabouts of the evil dude who set everyone up. You get to pick a number of tools for this (it takes place in a construction yard, so hammer, blowtorch) and you end up using none of them, just threatening to use them and the interrogated guy stays calm and does not say a word. Until you threaten for the third time and he just breaks suddenly and says the bad guy can be found in Mexico. Nothing more. And the escapees take his word for it and don't ask for more specifics, Mexico it is... Then a hitman is sent to dispatch the two escapees and rather than walking up to them and murdering them swiftly he decided to start shooting from a mile off with a pistol. Keep in mind that the two dudes have no idea the hitman is coming, nor who he is... Then some drama again when a baby is born and again the other player can stand creepily peering into the hospital room...It all falls so flat it digs right through to being hilarious... Then you get to Mexico, the game decides it's a shooter and shows just how unprepared the controls are for such a thing. You murder through an army and head back to the states after another chase sequence. And there the plot ramps up and one betrays the other . With no emotional depth whatsoever and bulletsponge health. When we played one of us just stood still and the other unloaded their weapon a few times into their face... It Takes Two is definitely better crafted and gameplay wise more solid with more tricks up its sleeve. But they're all dull tricks. Not a good testament to the fun of your minigames if both players when accidentally triggering one exclaim "fuck this" and run in the opposite direction. And then the camera can't quite manage boss fights, again because half of the screen is dedicated to the other player, even when playing online co-op. The story is tonally stupid. It goes from "we need to divorce" because both see the other as incompetent parents to "Wow! Gee whizz! Rad moves there, Jody!" (I don't remember their actual names) in the space of two minutes. Then there was a section of a flying semitransparent fish where both players dying did not reset the stage so why bother trying to stay in the center to not fall off? There's a Love Book called Dr. Hakim with an exaggerated Mexican accent whose idea of couples therapy is to provoke bonding through trauma... And that's about where we abandoned the game, another stupid boss fight, and nothing interesting happening... So, yeah, opinions... |
