Tarantino did re-writes to "Crimson Tide" in '95.

That was a tight little thriller with a crew.

I'm going to give him the benefit for now. Maybe his pop-culture references will be of the show, like it really happened to this crew too.

I wonder if this backlash would have happened if he worked on Casino Royale. Probably not. hm

So, Robert Rodriguez had a track record of doing movies like Spy Kids?

Well, according to Rodriguez, YES. 

When interviewed by the Guardian upon the release of the first Spy Kids film and being questions on how different it was from his "Everyone dies Mariachi" movies, he responded: 

""This is the kind of movie I used to make before Mariachi for 10 years, from the age of 12," he explains. "I'm from a family of 10 kids, and I always used to put my siblings in my movies because they were there. And the films would always win contests - people loved the combination of little kids doing action and comedy. The only reason Mariachi was an action movie was that the Spanish video market, which it was originally made for, wanted action. Even then we made it goofy - it was about a guitar guy, not an ex-cop or a road warrior type. If you watch this and then see the other movies, you can see how similar they are in tone, in the way that nobody could take them seriously."

Sorry, I haven't seen any of the movies he made when he was 12.

 

My apologies.

I am all in on Tarantino doing this. Star Trek needs a new vision like Frank Miller gave Batman with Dark Knight in the 1980s.

Who's to say he doesn't pay homage to TOS, unlike JJ Abrams?

I feel like I am in another world when I come on here sometimes.

Some folks saying Tarantino is a bad director because he hasn't changed his style in filmmaking.

Some people hoping for Zack Snyder director's cut of anything.

It's just weird sometimes.

I still remember watching Reservoir Dogs for the first time in '93. I mean do people realize it wasn't Killing Zoe? lol

I bet he has an encyclopedic knowledge of it. 

I wouldn't take that bet. Most of what Tarantino does is homage and pastiche and I have no problem with it as I like the end result.

He may very well turn out Pulp Fiction in space, but it's hard to imagine him doing something worse than what Abrams did IMHO.

I liked the Abrams versions, but that's just my taste.

I hated TNG stuff. Felt like a cruise ship in space, but I liked the cast.

The Abrams version was a "fresh take" and he warned people beforehand "this isn't your fathers Star Trek"...well, I liked that version of Star Trek lol

The first one was real good, second one pretty decent. 

 

So, what did you like better, Kirk being a rebellious daredevil or Spock making out with some chick in front of people?
