Quentin Tarantino uses his undisputed talent to make good movies, and then makes them worse with his dumb-a$$, stupid, laughable, dull, and/or annoying self-indulgences.
This is the best (worst) example thus far.
Why does he do it? Because he’s Quentin *bleepin* Tarantino, that’s why.
Lots of good scenes, lots of unnecessary cr@p.
Chapter One:
I don’t find the pipe funny, just absurd for the sake of it.
Christoph Waltz does a very good job being absurd at the same time as believable…the pipe is merely absurd.
And, unlike assumed intent, it’s NOT funny. It’s just…stupid. As if Tarantino himself is daring you not to like it.
Well, good job Cutie.
Chapter Two:
The Hugo Stiglitz intro is…ridiculously absurd, not funny. It – and others like it – are like much of the last season of ‘Monty Python’s Flying Circus’ : absurdity without the humor. Which is just pitiful and annoying. And a waste of surrounding (good) material.
And so on, and so on…
Fair with partly sh1tty.
