The second half is indeed his worst work. The first half is great.

I think that as a whole Jackie Brown is his worst.

Looking back, Grindhouse was just bad, but I remember really liking most of the experience at the time. I felt that Planet Terror was just horrible, and Death Proof was its drawn out saving grace.

Yeah, my first thought was, "worst film? that's really saying something, seeing as they're all horrible films"

I haven't seen the film, however after reading Tarantino's comments, I almost feel obliged to rent the movie.
Perhaps this was the purpose of his interview?

Thought it was a cool film. Sure, not his best film but wasnt as bad as he makes it out to be. Kurt Russell was one of his better characters IMO.

Yeah, I enjoyed this movie

so many people have no taste at all, bet they all like watching another identical M. Night Shyamalan movie though now there's a one trick pony no talent director.

I think he meant he hasn't seen Death proof.

and I can understand why people don't like Kill Bill, They're wrong, but I can understand why. it's basically Tarantino's praise for his favorite genres, including anime.

Yeah, I meant I haven't seen Death Proof. And I don't like Kill Bill because I thought they had basically no useful storyline and seemed like the biggest point of the movie was just to see how much blood you could get on the screen at one time. Cutting someone's arm off making them squirt blood for 5 feet... it all just seemed silly to me. I understand it's just supposed to be the style, but I guess it just doesn't fit my style of movie. I think I watched both Kill Bill movies because I'll watch just about anything, but I was far from impressed myself. I'm just not much of a Tarantino fan I suppose. But hey, I've seen movies I didn't like then watched them again years later and thought entirely differently about them.

Inglorious ******** is one of the best films I've seen.
Obviously the 'bad guy' wins the movie, but it has small details that make it great. For example, I enjoyed a lot they talk different languages, like if it were the actual WWII era. No 'we all talk english somehow BS'.
