It's kinda embarassing the margin by which QT's short is the best

I like the Rodriguez one a lot actually, but QT's is by and far the top of the class. Four Rooms is maybe the most uneven movie ever made haha.

I like Rodriguez one the best followed by Rockwell then Tarantino. Anders doesn't even deserve a mention, that was horrible. But yes i agree, horribly uneven film... BUT... I think Death Proof was way better than Planet Terror...

Well of course it was.

Perfect thread. Perfect post. I thought I was the only who felt Tarantino wrote and directed something way, WAY ahead of the other segments.

[–] Senator_Corleone 16 years ago

I don't see how anyone could have a different opinion. It seems as plain as the nose on your face that The Man From Hollywood is the best one.

Except that actually Roald Dahl wrote the story that Tarantino's segment bases on.

I thought his sucked. I hate Tarantino. He's completely annoying.

I think the ordering of the stories should've been:

1) The Missing Ingredient
2) The Misbehavers
3) The Wrong Man
4) The Man from Hollywood

Because the first half wasn't that good, however the rest was just perfect. The Misbehavers and the ending of TMfH is pure situation comedy, blessed with both Rodriguez's great sense in humorous film-making and QT's dialogue and one of his better acting roles.

i think Roberts is the best. funniest and the easily the best directed. the long takes in MFHW were neat, but anyone could do it. plus, QT kept looking at, then away from the camera. it was so annoying. and Paul Caulderon's character, Norman, couldn't of been more obnoxious. Bruce Willis was the only good thing in it, IMO

Anders and Rockwell's were crap.

[–] Champagnerocker 16 years ago

IMHO the Rodriguez one was best by some distance.

" The wrong man " was my favourite story." The misbehaviors " is a close second.

[–] DarthIago 15 years ago

Yup. "The Wrong Man" is definitely the best.

i found QT's and RR's segements of equal merit but very different cuts, RR's loves small cuts and close up, QT prefers wise angles and long cuts,

found the other two simply TERRIBLE!!! the first one is not worth mentioning, other than showing tits of some hot women for no REASON!

I'm sorry, I didn't know there had to be a reason for tits.

Tarantino's segment was the best, but it and Rodriguez's are definitely, at least, comparable, and both pretty good. The Rockwell one's just kind of meh and the less said about Anders' horrible section the better.

Just finished watching it, if you can simply FF to the last story "The man from Hollywood". It saves the movie.

[–] Doom 10 years ago

Completely agree.

While I didn't think the third segment was bad, the fourth segment was outstanding.
