Why's that? I quite enjoyed his last two books, but Cinema Speculation, understandably so, is definitely a rollercoaster of quality depending on if you're into the performers and films he's describing.
I would be surprised if Tarantino breaks his own rule if he has an idea eating at him. But that’s probably why he’s gonna try to make himself busy by doing different types of projects like novels or limited event series for HBO, etc. When he was developing his ill fated Trek film, the idea for him was that he would regard it as his “franchise film” and not part of his official ten film canon. He made a similar remark about a sequel to KILL BILL 2. He considers the two films one, so he’d lump the potential third in the same manner.
I agree with you 100%, with both his books. I'd be happy with him just writing books. Sounds like The Films of Rick Dalton is next. One of my most anticipated pieces of media, hoping to come next year! Minor spoiler for Cinema Speculation: QT is right about Steve McQueen and Bullitt: McQueen only played himself as a movie star, not much range, honestly. Just like John Wayne. As for Bullitt, he's right: apart from the car chase, there's not much great about it. A bit of my complaining is being WAY too exposed to the car chase, which worked mainly due to the editing.
Agreed, and even then, the editing still leads to a car chase that isn't terribly natural and can't be logically followed. It re-uses a couple of the exact same streets but there's no coherency in following it from Point A to Point B. It's still very, very impressive to watch unfold though.
Tarantino loves Bullitt!
Tarantino knows a lot about movies, but he's also prone to factual errors, misinterpretations, staggering assumptions, and sometimes, I suspect, he says things just to be contrarian.
True about QT, considering he likes to change history to his viewpoints. The main problem I have with Bullitt as I’ve said is overexposure. McQueen was so full of himself, that he could be hard to watch. As for the car chase, notice the same Volkswagen drive by on occasion. We’ve come a long way in car chase scenes since then. Robert Vaughn was awesome in it though, a great villain. And Jacqueline Bisset was just nice to look at. It’s not that I don’t like the movie. For me, there really isn’t much going for it.
I think the strikes merely held up the flow of news and we're going to be seeing more in the next few months.
I know, I'm just impatient, lol.
I didn't know that. I knew his wife was from there. You're right.
Yes, please.
This excites me greatly. He came close to starring in Tarantino's OUATIH so I'd love to see him get another opportunity.

I guess no Movie Critic with QT. Hopefully he can do both.

Remember @MaxCasino … Tarantino peppers his films with great, unique characters with limited scenes (think Pacino as the agent in OUATIH)…. So don’t lose faith— at least, not yet!!

Very true, @peter. One of the things I like about QT is that he has "the power" these days to engage a famous actor for a mere one or two scenes. People want to be in his films, so they'll take anything he has to offer. I bet he could have Robert Pattinson play a train conductor with no more than two lines, or briefly show Toni Collette as a hospital nurse. People respect QT as an artist to the point where such things are perfectly possible now.

And, the cherry on the top of being cast in this film, @DarthDimi , is the fact that this is his last (I do believe he will stick to his guns on this being his final film as director!)!

I regret that decision. He made cool, generational films in the '90s and he made incredibly mature films in more recent times. He's still growing as a filmmaker, IMO. I'm sure he has many more great films in him. But, you're right, @peter, he is probably going to quit after number ten.

I very much agree. I thought OUATIH was a beautiful “love” story. And then of course, QT pushes the bounds of decency in his last act twist— which I loved because of my great discomfort, 😂.
He has much more to give as a director. But I hope that he will still write and produce films (and then consult on those films!!).
He promises plays and more books in his future…

I don't think anything is given just yet, as we don't know when Inarritu's latest film will begin production. I can't imagine he'd sign up for Tarantino's final film then change his mind like that weeks later.
@DEKE_RIVERS, what rumor? The one about Tarantino retiring from directing films after The Movie Critic? It's not a rumor at all.
He's announced this will be his last film.
His had Bill Maher begging him not to do this, but QT is sticking to his guns.
This isn’t a rumour.

No, the Tom Cruise rumor.
But he hired Brad Pitt after all. So, I don't know.

We know that you don’t know. It’s amazing that you can admit this for once. If it’s just a conspiracy theory, please don’t post it. It’s ok to speculate. Just don’t criticize others for not buying your rumors and conspiracy theories.
I’m happy to see that the movie is coming along. If this is QT’s last movie, that’s ok. His legacy is safe.

That something is truly going to happen and there’s no other way it won’t. An example with you is that only Martin Campbell, Denis Villeneuve or Christopher Nolan can direct Bond 26. There are plenty of other directors who could probably do just as good of a job as them. As for QT, it’s ok to speculate on if he’ll truly call directing quits. He says A LOT of things. He is a better writer anyway. So what I’m saying is that it’s ok to speculate. We like to hear your thoughts on things as well. Just please be respectful of others, and try not to repeat yourself. I’m not mad, just be careful before posting.

Hey. Wrong guy. I'm not him.
I do look forward to him writing scripts (both feature and TV), plays and novels. I also can see him producing, and doing some teaching.
He has a full career to look forward to after this tenth film…
