    apart from forcing his fetishes on actors, saying the n-word in every movie, bad mouthing actors, hospitalizing them, saying Polanski was innocent, incidents like saying “I’m not your slave, you’re not my master” to a person of color when asked about his glorifying violence, calling modern music of black origin, “ghetto,” saying he knew about Harvey Weinstein and did nothing, taking cheap shots at Bruce Lee and selling Pulp Fiction NFTs?

      Literally all of that would require me to be interested in him as a person enough to track these controversial personal tidbits. Is he a nazi supporter, sexual offender, anything like that?

          …yes. It’s in his art, policing art is literally 1933. i might not like it or even be uncomfortable with it but as long as he makes movies about shooting fucking slavers after they say it, he gets a pass.

            He has 11 movies. I dont think there’s n-words in Dusk til Dawn, both Kill Bills and Basterds. The two movies you’re referring to are Django and Hateful 8. That still leaves almost half his movies.

      Pulp Fiction is legitimately a terrible movie, and people who like it only really like the dialogue. When you actually examine the story, it’s an incoherent pile of dogshit where no scene has anything to do with any other scene.

        That’s because it was originally written like that, it was meant to be multiple short stories, it was only later on he decided to try and connect them together by using the same characters.
