tarantino is overrated but still pretty good

Well the thing about Tarantino is that everyone knows what to expect in a Tarantino film, and he always delivers. I don't go into a Spielberg movie and expect him to make a gritty nihilistic noir film and get pissed off when he doesn't. Of course this limits Tarantino as an artist and keeps him from the heights of say, Kubrick or Ridley Scott, but being awesome is acceptable compared to being god.

Foodfight!

quote:

Credited cast: Charlie Sheen, Hilary Duff, Christopher Lloyd...
In December 2002, while the film was still in development, the hard drives holding the animation were stolen. The filmmakers had to start over.
The film was originally set for release in December 2003 then it was set for release in fall 2005 and finally spring 2009 which it never was released on.
In September 2011, with the film still unreleased, bondholders forced the sale of the movie at auction - opening bid was set at $2.5 million.

Artificial Intelligence. Kubrick was looking to make a magnum opus before he died, Spielberg tried to make a great homage to a dear friend, and he failed miserably
Napoleon hopefully won't turn out to be the exact same thing:

There are other people who more more about this flick, but I think that at some point they lost the movie and had to remake it in a short amount of time after it was in development for decades.

Virtually all of the Star Trek films were a massive wastes of talent and potential. Sure about half of them were fun to not bad, but considering the casts at their disposal, special effects, and money spent none of the films were that great.
