well, it's more like

>“In a way, what Tarantino has done with the French New Wave and with David Lynch is what Pat Boone did with rhythm and blues: He's found (ingeniously) a way to take what is ragged and distinctive and menacing about their work and homogenize it, churn it until it's smooth and cool and hygienic enough for mass consumption. Reservoir Dogs, for example, with its comically banal lunch chatter, creepily otiose code names, and intrusive soundtrack of campy pop from decades past, is a Lynch movie made commercial, i.e., fast, linear, and with what was idiosyncratically surreal now made fashionably (i.e., "hiply") surreal [...] D. Lynch is an exponentially better filmmaker than Q. Tarantino. For, unlike Tarantino, D. Lynch knows that an act of violence in an American film has, through repetition and desensitization, lost the ability to refer to anything but itself. A better way to put what I just tried to say: Quentin Tarantino is interested in watching somebody's ear getting cut off; David Lynch is interested in the ear.”

Lynch fans are insufferable. Tarantino is pretty naked about his source material any viewer that revisits it can confirm that for himself. The only common thread between the two directors is they're both hacks.

>>80993352
I don't see how Tarantino stylistically is like David Lynch at all though, he seems to get more from shitty 70s exploitation movies. Maybe I haven't seen enough Tarantino, but his movies don't come off as surreal to me at all.

What significance is there in the cut off ear? What makes being interested in the effect better than being interested in the cause?

>>80993735
how is Lynch a hack

>>80994122
watch Lost Highway
watch Dune
watch Walk fire with me

>>80994535
No Dune doesn't count because Lynch doesn't want it to :^)

>>80994535
>2017 and people still don't appreciate FWWM
Just die.

:^| pretending to be a silly billy doesn't dismiss you from being a silly willie.

>>80994535
Haven't gotten to Lost Highway or Dune yet, but I liked Fire Walk With Me.

>>80994535
I don't understand, is your argument that having made a film that doesn't succeed at what it's trying to do makes someone a hack?

that non-hacks have never produced anything approaching failure in their life?

>>80994535
>watch Lost Highway

Lost Highway wasnt a bad movie it just loses itslef haflway through also patricia arquette was shit

>>80994776
Lost Highway is great. Not hackneyed at all. It's a good premise.

>>80994660
It's like the time Kevin Smith he didn't make his movie "for the critics" ?

>>80994535
yeah and those are all good movies jackass

>>80993322

Cuz Tarantino is an ape. And apes ape.

Any more questions, princess?

>>80994535
Fire Walk With Me is one of the best movies ever made. Lost Highway is also very good. Maybe you just have bad taste.

>>80994700
Most don't appreciate it because they watched the entire Twin Peaks series (because they were told it's step up on their ladder) shitposting about waifus and expected another Twin Peaks episode.

>>80995763
do i watch fire walk with me before twin peaks then or after, im on season 2 episode 10 is it too early?

People claiming Lynch is a hack is a good indicator of how shitty this board has become. Hiroshima, just trash this damn site.

>>80996864
You should probably finish the series first as it kind of deals with what happens to Coop after the finale, but most of it is about Laura Palmer and if you've finished her story, it shouldn't spoil much.

>>80996864
finish the show dumbass

>>80993352
Did DFW really write this? Pretty spot on.

I wholeheartedly agree.

Actually Tarantino apes Polanski. They both tried to recreate classics by injecting modern memes in them. And their movies age like shit.

>>81003075
modern memes? where's all the evidence to back this up, kid?
