I have, in the past, recommended the "Tuesday Morning Quarterback" column on www.espn.com. Gregg Easterbrook, the author, has been fired from ESPN after his review of "Kill Bill" was published in The New Republic. Wow. He really screwed up. An excerpt:
So, uh, whoops. What's more, his review of Tarantino's entire body of work is just... incorrect.
I so fervently disagree with that statement that I don't even know how to begin to tear it apart. Pulp Fiction changed cinema forever. Deal with it.
Anyway, here is the whole review. If you feel like getting angry.
Disney's CEO, Michael Eisner, is Jewish; the chief of Miramax, Harvey Weinstein, is Jewish. Yes, there are plenty of Christian and other Hollywood executives who worship money above all else, promoting for profit the adulation of violence. Does that make it right for Jewish executives to worship money above all else, by promoting for profit the adulation of violence? Recent European history alone ought to cause Jewish executives to experience second thoughts about glorifying the killing of the helpless as a fun lifestyle choice.
So, uh, whoops. What's more, his review of Tarantino's entire body of work is just... incorrect.
All of Tarantino's work is pure junk. How can you be a renowned director without ever having made a film that's even good, to say nothing of great? No film student in 50 years will spend a single second with a Tarantino movie, except to shake his or her head.
I so fervently disagree with that statement that I don't even know how to begin to tear it apart. Pulp Fiction changed cinema forever. Deal with it.
Anyway, here is the whole review. If you feel like getting angry.
