"Poll question: Better Career: M. Night Dogg or Tarantino?"


  

          


M. Night's movies have made more money and have been just as critically acclaimed, despite the backlash. Tarantino has benefitted from having an some kinda impenetrable shield of coolness, where his films are not be taken seriously...um, unless they are. He's like Kevin Smith 2.0 in that respect. "Oh, it's just for fun...you don't get it." An entire generation of hack industry writers, heavily influenced by Pulp and Dogs, act as if everything this muhfucka does is cutting edge. They just always seem to find some clever euphemism for BAD. He can put his bad acting ass in all his movies and no one says shit, but M. Night does it and there's a problem.

Anyway, 'nuff of my bitching. Who will have the better career when it's all said and done.

Far as I'm concerned, Tarantino's a one-hit wonder. M. Night Dogg is just flat out more talented than dude.

           'Death Proof' was one of the great wastes of film in the last decade.

                                                        do you seriously think this didn't occur to Shyamalan?
Apr 13th 2007
144
                                                             that what didn't occur to him? his invasion premise was fucking absurd?
Apr 13th 2007

                                                                  that people would make this criticism
Apr 13th 2007
148
                                                                       I don't think he really cared
Apr 13th 2007
149
                                                                            it's just silly to think he'd breeze over an issue like this

                                                                                 you do understand that's not what the movie is all about, right?

Apr 12th 2007
57
                          if that were remotely true, spike would get passes on crooklyn
Apr 12th 2007
58
                               part of the reason Spike doesn't get a pass for Crooklyn
Apr 12th 2007

I'm not saying anything about QT. I'm talking solely about M. Night.
Apr 12th 2007
66
      why is he held to such a bullshit standard? unlike no other young guy
Apr 12th 2007
67
           high expectations after a very impressive debut
Apr 12th 2007
77
           it doesn't matter...he made shit movies after good ones
Apr 12th 2007
79
                It does matter if you're asking why he's held to a higher standard
Apr 12th 2007
91
           Rodriguez got shit on for Shark Boy and Lava Girl.
Apr 12th 2007

98
                     I guess so now that you've defined done
Apr 12th 2007

                                    I forgot that only good movies make money. My bad
