But that was his whole thing

If Steven Spielberg had only made 10 films he’d have known that and been more choosy with his projects. Not only that but it would be way better. You can’t just count the first ten movies and say anything past those “would never exist” cuz that’s not how it would work. Other movies that he did make wouldn’t exist

Spielberg doesn’t write his movies. and since the beginning even from Kill Bill, Quentin has begun numbering them. I think it’s cool

Two different style of directors. Not really an argument

@@markdarc0448exactly

Glad this all sounds so hunky dory for you. Personally, I think he should stick to making movies. His books haven't been nearly as entertaining and it would be a shame to not see him using his full talents. And Kill Bill? He's been numbering them since Reservoir Dogs. 10 is an amazing...sorry, AMAZING number, but you know what sounds even better? The 15th film from Quentin Tarantino

I loved his novemization of Once Upon a Time in Hollywood. I'd totally be down to read more of his work whether it be more novelizations or original material.

“He’s past 60 and there’s not much time left” no, he has at least 20 years left to make movies.

I want to see a MUSICAL of “Reservoir Dogs”! And the thugs in the heist would KICK like The Rockettes!!

But at the end of the day 11 good movies is more impressive than 10. And 12 good movies is more impressive than 11.

He already did one, it's called Death Proof, check it out

@@Jakeshangout2251Ehhhhhh, that’s not quite the same energy as what I think OP is describing. Kurt Russell is definitely a killer obviously, but it’s still more Grindhouse (as is the name of the Double Feature that Death Proof released as) in general. I definitely think it could be cool if Tarantino made a more classic slasher movie.

Also he loves De Palma, I'd really like to see all the homages to him he would throw into such a movie

They offered Halloween to him at some point, It could have happened

There are lots of good moves coming out especially character pieces

I agree

there's a pretty good reason why all the "films" that don't count, don't count. so let's go through them all. My Best Friend's Birthday: it's a short and not a full film, it was also made before he began counting. Kill Bill: The Origin of O-Ren: again a short, Tarantino said he would only make 10 films, that says nothing about shorts, tv shows or books. so after the 10 he make as many of those as he wants. Reservoir Dogs (1991): another short film that works as a proof of concept of the movie he would do the following year. do i need to say more? let's move on Kill Bill: The Whole Bloody Affair: it's just both kill bill films put together, obviously it doesn't count. but funnily enough, this is actually the only kill bill film that counts in Tarantino's eyes. because to him both volumes are one movie. he wrote it as one so that's how he counts it. Four Rooms: he only directed one out of four stories in this one, which was basically the same length as a short film. So he doesn't count it as one of his films. Grindhouse: this is just a compilation of Death proof and Planet Terror, sure they were made to be watched together, but only one of them was made by Tarantino and that one is already on the list. So there you go, an explanation for the missing 7 movies. hope that helps. I might have gone a little over bored but I had fun writing this and that's all that matters to me.

@@Sophie_the_Sapphic You must be a real hoot

@@BMDocsI mean tbf it was actually really interesting information lol

@@Sophie_the_Sapphic Not to mention, Tarantino has directed episodes of TV as well.

True. I don’t think he’ll last 5 years before making an 11th movie, or at least experiment with a miniseries.

Then there’s Scorsese

​@@samburnscomposer True. Just to clarify, I'm not implying that all artists should retire, just that this collective refusal to accept Tarantino's decision is greedy and entitled.

@@TheXelsky Yeah true, I mean he won’t even stop creating art just feature films. Plus he even mentioned doing short films and tv shows in an interview I read too. I like his films but I’m not bothered if he stops because it’s true many artists don’t tend to keep up with the same quality of work over time. Quality is better than quantity

“My phaser’s the one that says ‘Bad Muthafucka’ on it.”

i bet it was shaping up better as a book pr something.

@@bloodlinefilms does he care about authoring?

@@odiedodieuk he did his own novelization of once upon a time in hollywood. it was longer and more in depth. he has done a few books i think.

His reasoning seems to be he doesn't want to stick around so long to the point he's not wanted or respected anymore. He just wants to create something of quality. He's allowed change his mind and say "You know what? 14 movies it is" (or whatever)

He's really fixated on the number ten...and possibly wanting the weight off his shoulders that comes with the high expectations for each film. But at the end of the day 11 quality movies is better than 10. And 12 is better than 11. Guys like Spielberg and Scorsese should always be ranked higher if Tarantino only does 1 more.

Plus he already did his 10th movie...Once Upon a Time in Hollywood. He may not like it but Kill Bill was released as two films...several months apart. The studio won and split it in two. Pretending otherwise is revisionist history. If he's focused on only doing one more film he will probably drive himself crazy trying to end his career on a high note. I wouldn't be surprised if he writes another script...realizes it's not as good as The Movie Critic...and then winds up making The Movie Critic a few years from now.

Tom's my favourite actor so I'd love to see that.

The first half of Death Proof is almost unwatchable due to its execrable dialog. Overall, still better than Kill Bill 1+2, though.

Truth is there is no magical number.

@@GrantPearson Agreed, Kill Bill is two films whether he likes it or not because at the end of the day people paid to see two movies. I just think this obsessive idea of having what he considers to be “10 perfect movies” and calling it a day feels is somewhat understandable if the idea of filmmaking is not longer appealing to but I think it’s kind of silly, sure take a break for a few years and see how you feel in a decade but to say your stopping for good feels like burning your bridge. He also uses the metaphor of directors being like boxers because they “have their time” meaning they have a peak and then a decline, sure that goes for most of us in our life we don’t stay spring chickens forever but that theory just isn’t accurate in the world of artists since Scorsese, Akira Kurasawa as well as many other directors have proved that theory absolutely wrong.

@@artofsam In addition to having a fixation on the number ten I think he also wants the weight off his shoulders. There's high expectations with every movie he does so he probably wants relief from that. However, the most based thing he could do is to keep making great films for a few more decades...show us how brilliant he is by defying the odds and NOT going into a decline. It seems he doesn't have the cojones to keep at it the way Scorsese does. I hope I'm wrong though and he makes several more.

@@GrantPearson I certainly hope so, cinema as an art form needs people like him now more than ever, we need more directors that challenge the status quo and this mass sterilisation of art that is wreaking havoc everywhere.

Apparently he wrote something like a whole episode of Bounty Law during Once Upon A Time In Hollywood, and I would love to see that get produced. Or really any of the fake movies from his career I’d love to see, The Fourteen Fists of McCluskey probably being the top.

@@samuelbarber6177 Same.

If it’s the only way we’re ever gonna get it then I will be satisfied

I agree!

Thanks!!!

I did not enjoy the movie!

Had a lot of recommendations for it based off this video! I must do it

I did enjoy it! But he won’t be remembered for it

He might want the weight off his shoulders that comes from the high expectations everyone has.

😳

how about scorsese? Isn't the 2010s the most reflective and dare I say best era of his filmography? Man is in his 80 and still able to direct Wolf of Wall Street, killers of the flower moon, silcence, the irishman - that's incredible range right there and all comment on his previous movies, even develop on them.

@@newwave26 I’ll be honest, I have not enjoyed Scorsese’s stuff over the past decade+, most of it I just find ponderous & incredibly boring.

@@SmashBrosAssemble I respect your opinion. However, I still think Scorsese can make decent films despite his age. They might be overlong and "boring", yes, but you can't deny that they're competence piece of filmmaking, and that they are progression of a career. Tarantino giving up in his 50 or so is, thus, irresponsible.

Clint Eastwood did Million Dollar Baby at 74, and Gran Torino a few years after that. Kurosawa did Ran at 75. George Miller did Fury Road at 70. It can and has been done.

It is a feature film. It’s an anthology

@@FullFatVideos An anthology that he only directed one aspect of. Anthologies are a collection of short films. Four Rooms is not a Tarantino film. It is a feature film that includes a short film he wrote and directed as part of it.

Well check back in ten years

Multiple versions of 4 were being developed at once
