>directors can only make ten great movies before severely declining in quality
Why does he seriously believe this retarded nonsense?

Nah there's something to it
The snake of creativity devours its own tail

>>213963579 (OP)
He's a Brian de Palma fan. It's been hard.

Hitchcock made 43 sound films. A lot of them are great, most are good and few are bad.

>>213963579 (OP)
he wants a good legacy
he can afford it

Still waiting for his first great movie

>>213963579 (OP)
Probably watched the last ridley scott films and got the fear.

>>213963579 (OP)
Well, prove him wrong.

>>213963625
it's not the same system

>>213963579 (OP)
He also keeps cheating it by releasing movies that are two movies or half a movie or by guest directing part of someone else’s movie

He was essentially right it's just not about a hard limit, he has no creativity left and is literally making hollywood jerk off material over and over. At least he was smart enough to stop the last boring ass project
make a fun movie that people will enjoy going to the theatres to see you hack fraud

>>213963579 (OP)
You haven't made one yet Quentin.

>>213963579 (OP)

He severely declined in quality after Pulp Fiction, so he knows from experience.

>>213963579 (OP)
He’s still got 10 films in him because he’s only made flicks.

>>213963579 (OP)
While he's right that directors tend to lose their spark as they age, it's retarded to set ten films as the arbitrary number. Also he's ignoring directors like Akira Kurosawa who had fantastic late periods after a slump or an extended break from making films.

>>213963579 (OP)
Look at Ridley Scott.

>>213963579 (OP)
Very strange position considering he's made maybe 1, 1 and a half good films total

Tarantino is partially correct but his autism gets the better of him, there's no 11th film curse on great directors, the truth is most directors have a lousy film somewhere in their repertoire before they even reach their 10th film, then they go on to make more good and great films and more lousy films it's part of life.

Look at Scorsese, in between Raging Bull, Last Temptation, Goodfellas, Casino, The Departed, Wolf of Wall Street, etc... you have shit like Age of Innocence, Kundun, Hugo, The Irishman, doesn't mean he doesn't have some great movies left in him.

>>213964095
>look at scorcese
>you have good, then shit shit shit shit shit shit shit shit shit
Scorcese is a hack

>>213963579 (OP)
Because he severely declined after his fifth movie.

>>213963579 (OP)
Once upon a time in america is his only great film and it's his latest, explain that Quentin.

>>213964101
>you have good, then shit shit shit shit shit shit shit shit shit

>>213964049
Has made more good films than Tarantino

>>213964112
You’ve mixed him up with Sergio Leone

>>213964095
>Age of Innocence
That movie is great, what the fuck are you talking about?

>make movie
>if it’s good you put your name on it
>make movie
>if it’s bad you put a pseudonym on it
This is the right strategy.

>>213964230
Or do Steven King - put pseudonyms only on your good stuff.

>>213964219
Well I didn't fucking like it.

more or less true, all creatives have an expiration date

>>213964049
Ridley has dropped mediocre films as far back as the 80s and routinely bounces back to win Hollywood over. This is why nobody will write him off regardless of whether he releases a Napoleon or Exodus.

>>213964230
If I ever made a movie I would do it Banksy style.

>>213964281
>Rock musicians under 30 totally produce important material
Lmao what a fucking faggot. You sing little songs like a woman to entertain kids for a while.

>>213964095
>in between his critically acclaimed films you have more critically acclaimed films

>>213964347
When was the last time he made a good film?

>>213964281
Oasis is soulless slop and so is The Beatles, but at the least The Beatles made some interesting music.

>>213964417
2021

death proof wasn't great and inglorios basterds was lazy and only saved by christoph walz

>>213964281
Lmao this guy doesn't know about anything that happened before 1980, he thinks for 20 years the beatles released hit after hit without a single flop in the mix and then they suddenly started releasing total shit without a hit in the mix

>>213963625
>A lot of them are great
No, he's overrated. Hitchcock was a lousy fat fag.

>>213963579 (OP)
He's right but not sure about the "ten" specifically (he's obviously just saying that because that's when he'll stop). Look at directors like Ridley Scott and Clint Eastwood, making utter fucking sloppa now.

>>213964249
Then ban them and hide them so no one can see how much you've declined.

>>213963579 (OP)
It took him only 3...

>>213964578
Welles should've taken less snipes, he could barely finish a film after Kane.

>>213964528
What are you even trying to say?

He's kind of right. Not sure about a specific number but as time goes on your level of quality can diminish. It does happen. Even if you dumped out nothing but hits and find a pattern that works too much can oversaturate the market and people getting fatigued by the same stuff. At some point you just gotta go out on top.

>>213963579 (OP)
Cause he knows his shit is starting to suck and he’s too rich and tired to be as passionate as he once was. Once Upon A Time in Hollywood was visually amazing but total pretentious boring shit next to reservoir dogs and pulp fiction. He was probably going to end with that movie because it’s his love letter to Hollywood or whatever the fuck. It was terrible which lit a fire under his ass to go out with a bang and hopefully go back to his roots.

>>213963579 (OP)
He's a sperg who cares more about legacy than making art
No musician is going "Only get to make 3 good albums in a lifetime", and no painter only plans on ever making 20 canvases for their entire career and not one more. It seems incredibly egoistic to live your life by some arbitrary limit you yourself imposed because you're afraid of being less than perfect

>>213964569
Clint's 38th film, Richard Jewell, is better than any dogshit Tarantino has ever made in his career. You're a fucking retard.

>>213963579 (OP)
Because he is so bad at movies it takes him like 10 years to make one and cannot comprehend putting out one or more every year

>>213963579 (OP)
He didn't even make 4 great movies.

>>213963579 (OP)
maybe the muses have limits

>>213965035
That's why you get a new one

>>213964833
That's why I always hated Daniel Day Lewis, it's so pretentious to crawl out of your hole in Ireland every few years and gun for an oscar, do a fucking comedy or something and actually challenge yourself faggot.

His jewish wife won't let him stop making money. Just wait.

>>213965074
Quentin's gonna be paying the toesucker tax, big time.

>>213963579 (OP)
He's wrong but for the right reasons. His logic perfectly applies to musicians, and to a certain degree to directors too, eventually they get to a point where they produce more shit that non-shit.

>>213964877
It was formulaic and sterile though so fuck off.

>>213964101
Based. Scorsese is an overrated faggot.

>>213964611
Damn, you are right lol what a twat.

>>213964569
>Clint Eastwood
Juror #2 was good in and of itself, but if you compare it to anything Scot has made for years and years it looks amazing.

>>213964095
>you have shit like Age of Innocence
first of all… how dare you?

>>213963579 (OP)
Maybe true nowadays. In the classic Hollywood studio era (thirties to sixties) it wasn't true whatsoever, and part of it was that directors had much less control and input over the films

>>213963579 (OP)

>Why does he seriously believe this retarded nonsense
Autism

>>213963579 (OP)
If you care more about them being good than being made it means you an egotistical fag who cares more about legacy than about making films

>>213964578
Vertigo is terrible, Rear Window is kino though

>>213963579 (OP)
he's never made a great movie

It’s pretty obvious he used a genie wish or monkey paw to be a famous director, but was told he’d die after his 10th official movie. Hes been trying to figure it out since.

>>213963579 (OP)
Look at what happened to wes anderson. He should've stopped after Grand Budapest. His last good movie

There's more to life than meta legacy
That's why an autist like him never caught out beyond referential cinema
90's collage DIY and magazine artists are a cancer to this day

>>213963579 (OP)
he's already proven the number is much lower than that
>pop culture references
>the obligatory nigger worship scene
>the footfag fanservice scene
he's been making the same slop since the 90s

If there's goodwill and the artists works for it, good work will flurish... As simple as that

>>213963579 (OP)
Your wits get duller with age, you get more insulated in your own bubble and more disconnected with the current zeitgeist. Ridley Scott is a good example, you just age out of being able to make cool shit.
