3. Quentin Tarantino Will Make An Awful Movie
Sony PicturesQuentin Tarantino is one of the most influential writer/directors of his generation, with a filmography that is the envy of many of his peers. While the majority of people are in agreement that Death Proof is the weakest of his movies, Tarantino has yet to create a feature that has been universally panned. No director manages to go through their entire career without at least one bad movie, and one day Tarantino will be left with a blot on his cinematic copybook. Although his movies are often criticized for their glorification of violence, heavy use of profanity and liberal borrowing of shots and sequences from other movies, Quentin Tarantino is an unabashedly single-minded director that makes his films exactly the way he wants to. Whether it be a heist movie that doesn't even show the heist, a tribute to blaxploitation, rewriting the history of World War II or a Spaghetti Western set in the South, Tarantino's ear for dialogue and stylistic flourishes have established him as one of the most unique voices in American cinema. The Hateful Eight is the director's next project, and offers up another change of pace with a minimalist Western set almost exclusively in two cramped locations. Based on early reactions to the script and a live table-read, the movie sounds hugely promising and will not result in the first critical flop of his career. However, one day Quentin Tarantino's singular vision and penchant for over-indulgence will unfortunately result in a movie that will have both audiences and critics rolling their eyes.
