I've been in a grim euro mood. Might revisit some Tark.

Tarantino how can he say no directors are good into their old age while we got geezers running laps around him

No that’s not exactly what he said. He was talking about how he’s seen many filmmakers sort of lose their passion after a certain age and he personally doesn’t want to fall into that so he’s limiting himself. He was talking about how he’s noticed that some of them after a certain point become sort of reflective on filmmaking itself rather than adding to their legacy with a new contribution to the canon. He’s sort of OCD, he likes a clean and concise filmography. This all started when he was talking about how he wasn’t interested seeing Scorsese in old age make films about Howard Hughes and stuff like that, but he also recently had The Irishman as his favorite film of 2019 and did an interview with Scorsese where he was excited that he was still working and making great films. Elric is just being a baby and exaggerating his point as a cheap dunk because the climax of Tarantino’s last film made him uncomfortable.

That context is tad less wild, but it still seems like an overexaggerated angle. There are so many well known, late-career directors that don't fit his claim — and more than a few who Tarantino is known for loving.

Can you link where he makes these comments? I wanna see what all he says. Cause i want to know if he's really implying that "reflections on filmmaking itself" aren't worthy of adding to a filmmaker's legacy, and his justification for that (if he gives one). It's also an odd thing to hear Tarantino of all people say, since most of his work are reflections on filmmaking itself by proxy of his particular fanaticisms in film culture.

It’s really hard to find one single interview or clip where he talks about this cause it’s from various things. I’ll try to find it though.

I’m pretty sure the origin of this is in that first Oscar directors round table thing from 2012. The most recent comments were on an appearance he did last year on Bill Maher’s show. Even if he thinks they make good stuff in old age, I think he’s talking about a certain kind of passion. He’s looking it at like a rockstar with a great string of records who just drops the mic and walks off forever.
