this Tarantino debate between a Lover and a Hater. I of course side almost entirely with the Hater (who makes many points I've been trying for years to make about various things), although I do really think Reservoir Dogs is a well-realized film. Haven't seen Grindhouse though. If, as Hater says, the redeeming factor is mostly that Tarantino is Serious About Thinking Chicks are Awesome, then, uh... yeah. Not terribly compelling.
Oh, and the Simpsons' cultural value is not entirely in its parodic regurgitation, it's the synthesis. Jeez.
