If Tarantino were to actually retire...

It’s really sad, but at least he left behind what could possibly be the most consistently great set of productions in cinema history.

I wouldn't care one way or the other.

I don't revisit any of his films.

I wouldn't even believe him.

I wouldn't like it at all, but I also wouldn't take him seriously.

He may flirt with the idea of retirement, but I don't think he's anywhere near being finished. He knows most of the great directors keep going until they die because they love making movies.

That's what he does. That's all he does.

 

I'm not a huge QT fan but I respect his unique vision when it comes to filmmaking. He'll be missed when he goes, but at the same time I wouldn't want him churning out garbage for the next 20 years just trying to stay relevant.

I wouldn't notice

Personally I doubt he will outright retire as he might semi-retire but I still see him making a movie at least every once in a while. like 5 years or so, maybe one every 10 years tops as I imagine some random ideas will come to him that will catch his interest to direct another movie.



I wish I could fully agree (I at least partially agree though) as there is not a director I am aware of that has not had some slip ups. still, he's a director I look forward to since, given the right material etc, he can deliver a solid movie.

but even strictly Tarantino, the only movies of his I like are...

1)Django Unchained (2012) - 7.5-8/10
2)Pulp Fiction (1994) - 7/10
3)Kill Bill Vol 2 (2004)
4)The Hateful Eight (2015) - 6.5-7/10
(the above four are among my favorite movies in general)
5)Kill Bill Vol 1 (2003) - 6/10

so 5-6 of his movies out of 9-10 total (I only counted from Reservoir Dogs (1992) to date) I at least like. but in terms of movies that stand out he's 4-5 out of 10 (could be 5 depending on how Once Upon a Time in Hollywood turns out). still, he's got a pretty good success rate for me as, depending on how Once Upon a Time in Hollywood (2019) turns out, he will be either 5 out of 10 or 4 out of 10 (so a 40% or 50% success rate) although currently he sits at a 55.6% success rate (strictly in terms of movies that stand out (i.e. movies I score a 7 or higher)) although if you count stuff in terms of basic Thumbs Up vs Thumbs Down, he climbs up a little higher (to likely 60% after I see Once Upon a Time in Hollywood).

so he's still solid as I figure even putting percentage stuff aside, and looking at volume of movies worth mentioning from random directors, he's going to be on the higher side for me as, there are probably not many directors who, if we look strictly at volume of movies, that have 4-5 movies that stand out (as in movies I score a 7 or higher).

at the end of the day... he's a name director as there are not many who have more proven names in directing who make quality movies here and there as the years/decades pass.

Maybe he will start his own streaming service. Everyone else is doing it.
