Better than any Tarantino movie


Well, I haven't seen the hateful 8. So I dunno.

This movie is as good as Tarantino's best in it's own way.

Apparently.

Get Shorty is a parody of criminal elements involved in the film industry. It's technically a good film, but for the uninformed, like my ex-girlfriend, it's almost a documentary. And for anyone who thinks that any element in Get Shorty is a serious portrayal of the film industry, then you're living in a dream world, and may need professional help.

Better than Tarantino's work? No. Different genres altogether.

What the hell does Tarantino have to do with Get Shorty?

I guess the OP is referring to the style and dialog of this movie being Tarantinoish.

Interesting fact: Travolta was going to pass on this role but Tarantino (who had just directed him in Pulp Fiction) advised him to take it.

I disagree. They are such different styles that I wouldn't even think to compare them.

I don't think this movie is better than any of Tarantino's best (which are his 3 first movies).

Very good for sure
