Quentin Tarantino is not a fan of the majority of movies coming out of Hollywood these days. Writing for Sight & Sound magazine, the Oscar winner revealed that “it’s almost impossible” for him these days to watch a new movie and not pick it “to death.”
“Flaws, implausibilities, audience pandering, miscast performers or just plain stupid shit usually torpedoes every new movie coming out of the flavorless sausage factory that used to call itself Hollywood,” the director explained. “These days, the entire concept of what is a movie is more inclined to inspire contempt in me than generosity. Which is fair enough, because by comparison the movies of the last six years make the 80s seem like the 30s.”
Well yes, that can happen you have the modern day equivalent of the Hays Office dictating your production choices: The Fast Death of the Intimacy Coordinator.

He’s not “a Black man” he’s a sad sack everyman who happens to be black because Chiwetel Ejiofor is a great actor who brings class to an indie project. If they’d cast a white guy you’d be complaining about the lack of diversity. No one wants to play this unwinnable game any more. https://t.co/ECUBs5AXnM
