Death Proof was bad and poorly directed and AWFULLY written.

Critics still love it.

Your point?

If Quentin makes a bad movie, which he has, he will not get the vitriolic onslaught of criticism that M. Night has recently received. Never.

who said he was going down as a classic director? lol.

again, folks get sensitive and defensive when it comes to Tarantino. I don't know what it is, but they really do.
