Because his movies are very entertaining and you are one of the very few who think that way. Having said that, I bet you'd see it if you didn't know he directed it.

You are giving me the impression that you simply hate entertaining films. I'd be interested to know why you hate his films so much? Although I dont see them as weaknesses bad language, violence, dense dialogue are usually only minor quibbles.

Dense dialogue? Tarantino?

His stuff is nothing more than on the surface, except for his myriad references to old films 99% of his audience won't have seen. His dialogue is woeful, his story telling weak and his use of violence and profanity as plot devices nothing less than childish. I love all types of films from stupid comedies to Hollywood horrors to those maybe seen as little but more of a thinker, and Tarantino's films do nothing for me.

I doubt it. The trailer was terrible and I've read reviews that leave me entirely unimpressed.

Decent movie, way overhyped, not as violent as everyone is thinking/hoping.

Dense dialogue? Tarantino?

I would just have a lot of trouble categorising other films if i felt tarantino's dialogue was woeful, story telling weak, violence a plot device, profanity childish.

I've watched Rambo, Terminator, Raging Bull recently and all would fall foul of those criticisms at some level. As for his stuff being on the surface, I can perhaps see where you are coming from there. It is not very deep and meaningful as it is hard to identify with largely criminals/murders/killers who are the focal point of many of the films. Interesting discussion though.

You'll be killed for this!!!

I thought that was the best line. Pretty funny stuff. The movie, like mentioned, not the best, but worth watching. But that's how I've felt about all Tarantino movies the first time I've seen them. They take a few viewings before they get me. I'll tell you this though, he sure knows how to put together action scenes.

Saw it last night, and loved it.

Tarantino's humor is so ridiculous that I think its often overlooked. The movie had so many different elements of humor that really made the movie for me. And the cinema sequence was beautiful.

      Yeah, that's right. I remember now. Pia Nilsson. I've read a couple of her books. "Be A Player" and "Every Shot Must Have A Purpose".  I read them back maybe 10 years ago. ... maybe 5? ... pre-pandemic anyway.  Good memory.

      Enchanting Golf Traditions (From Around the Globe)

      By Nave ·

      Having had the opportunity to live and work in a few different countries, I've encountered some golf traditions, whether they are well-established customs or unique experiences at local courses. While not all of these are widely practiced, they highlight the diversity and creativity in the golfing world. 1. Japan - The O-Bon Golf Festival In Japan, during the O-Bon (lantern) Festival, I've seen golf courses hosting night golf events with glowing balls and lantern-lit fairways. It's a serene and beautiful way to combine golf with culture.  2. Scotland - The Guising Golfers In Scotland, around Halloween, I've come across golfers participating in "guising," where they dress up in costumes and play a round of golf. It adds a festive twist and a lot of fun to the game. 3. South Korea - The New Year's Honbae In South Korea, golfers play a round of golf on New Year's Day, followed by a celebratory meal and drinks (9th hole and after the game). It's a time for camaraderie and positive intentions for the year ahead. Besides new year's, on higher end courses, they often break on the 9th hole for some light food and drinks like fancy ramen and makgeolli rice wine (ordered in advance). 4. Australia - The Outback Golf Challenge (I have not experienced this one myself) In Australia, there is apparently an Outback Golf Challenge, where golfers navigate rough terrain and face unconventional obstacles. It's considered a true test of skill and adaptability (but hasn't produced many PGA golfers 😉 ). 5. Finland - The Midnight Sun Golf Tournament (I have not experienced this one myself) In Finland, the Midnight Sun Golf Tournament is where golfers play late into the evening under the perpetual twilight of the summer months. The endless daylight makes it a truly unique event. While these traditions may not be universally established, they represent the variety of golfing experiences around the world. I'm curious if any of you have encountered or participated in unique or local golf traditions, whether internationally or closer to home.

      It's from "Every Shot Has a Purpose" which was co-written by one of Annika's coaches. Decent read about reducing uncertainty and committing to the golf shot.

      Ah, I didn't realize this was about standing over the ball versus time to play the shot. Definitely two different things there. Yea I would imagine being static over the ball/taking a long time over the ball does make things worse in the long run, hence all the waggles guys will do before pulling the trigger.

      I'm not sure who said it first but I've seen it a lot. There's this "think box" vs "play box" theory. I've also seen it with a planning vs doing line on the ground. The idea is basically you stand away from the ball (a couple feet) and do your "think box". This is where you do your planning, your swing cues, your practice swings (if you believe in practice swings.) All of that is done in the "Think Box". Then you step into your "play box" address the ball and hit it. Sometimes it's done with a imaginary line on the ground. You do all of the think box stuff behind the line. Then once you cross the line you step up and hit it.  Here's Annika Sorenstam demonstrating the "Think box" and "Play box": So, Annika's time over the ball is really short. Because she did all of that other stuff not over the ball, but in her "Think box".  There are lots of variations on this theme. But I think you get the idea.
