I like his movies. They are entertaining. You don't need the latest cutting edge special effects or a cookie cutter script to be good. Pulp Fiction, From Dusk Till Dawn, and Four Rooms (Whole movie is good, although I realize Tarantino only directed 1/4 of it) are all classics in my book.

I also find it entertaining to see him interject himself into his movies and the roles that he picks for himself to play.

How much influence did Tarantino really have as a producer on Hostel? As a producer, did he really just lend his name to Eli Roth to get his movie out there? It doesn't seem to be cut from exactly the same mold, if you know what I mean.

I remember seeing QT interviewed on some Late Night show about Hostel. I think he said something along the lines Roth was over at his house and told him the idea of Hostel. QT liked it so he backed him.

So just to be clear QT had pretty much 0.0 to do with Hostel being a bad or good movie. It was pretty much all Roth. I thought Hostel was ok, but I thought Roth's other movie Cabin Fever was much better. I grew up watching movies like the Evil Dead series and anything with Zombies in it. Cabin Fever was a nice nod to the horror movies of my childhood.

Also I don't understand why Wimberlake calls out QT when you have people like Michael Bay making some of the most overrated movies of the last 10 years. QT is underpaid in comparison to Bay. It seems QT is one director that inspires people not to like his movies because they don't like him.

Speaking of QT name being related to things don't forget QT's scripts was used for True Romance, Dusk till Dawn, and Natural Born Killers. That said I wouldn't consider NBK a QT movie at all because Stone changed the script so much QT (if I remember right) changed his credit to "story by" instead of screenplay.
