...this is the kind of movie he'd make. Instead of a hodgepodge of self-indulgent allusions and look-at-me grandstanding...this is a really interesting and likable story with strange, unpredictable characters. Not as overly serious as Stone's Savages.

Yeah well those "hodgepodge of self-indulgent allusions and look-at-me grandstanding" you're talking about has made QT a multi-millionaire, won him 2 Oscars and made him one of the most popular filmmakers in the world.

Just look at Django Unchained - overblown, self indulgent nonsense that creates some interesting characters but then wastes them in a tediously drawn out movie.
