mans influenced anywhere from spaghetti westerns to exploitation s*** lol

I had a really big post written out but I'm getting on a plane and it reset

Basically I was gonna say I could see how they're similar in the way that they wear their influences on their sleeve, Lynch blending some French new wave and overall European influence with the noirish pulp of the Americana of his youth, while Tarantino blends his childhood admirations for Italian/Asian/Afro American joints into an exploitation (pulp) showcase that he'd want to see in his youth. Similar approaches honestly now that you made me think about it, but I don't think they feed off of each other any more than any other good artist does. I could see Tarantino getting caught up in how "up it's ass" Eraserhead was if he saw it as a midnight movie back in the day, for instance

yea you trippin. stop trippin

A hypocrite can be right but it makes less sense for somebody who’s guilty to call someone else out on that particular thing. If we both were to steal something out of the store how would you look at me for preaching to you about how stealing is bad and that you should aim to do better lol

And in this case he wasn’t even right, FWWM was the furthest thing from self indulgence

I like his films too mostly, but he always comes off as an insufferable douchebag

Nobody's like David Lynch op, past or present. He's really closer to Hitchcock, just off the fact that loves mystery/the unknown. Tarantino is a hodge podge of all types of cinema, but at the end of the day, he's the ultimate American director.

Tarantinos movies pretty much captures the "pure essence" of what a Hollywood film should be. A true rockstar director

Fiona Apple found PTA and QT insufferable and I believe her

Didnt fiona date pta?

OP not wrong in the slightest but its a lot of dudes besides Lynch he was trying to be, thats just one

She spent a night with both (not like that)

Her night with them was so painful she quit coke

Nah man they dated fr. He directed alot of her videos and some her songs about him. Pta even based alot of his love stories on their relationship

Licorice pizza is still sus

I feel like for PTA he might be insufferable on set in a kubrickian way, like slowly doing a million takes and adjusting things. But QT always just came across as one of those rich a****** kids out of LA lol

Very lol

QT just strikes me as an obnoxious drunk lol

all of tarantino's movies are pretty heavily inspired but what makes him so good is he is somehow still able to make them his own

couldn't have said it better. plus he has cte

I mean he was pals with the weinsteins since the early 90s

phantom thread goated tho

yall saying its a reach but Tarantino been vocal about his david lynch influence

Scorsese was definitely the teacher in the class that Tarantino learned from

I feel like by saying this you are disregarding the work of Martin Scorsese, Brian De Palma, Jean-Pierre Melville, Howard Hawks, Sergio Leone, Jean Luc Godard and the many other filmmakers that have clear DNA in Tarantino’s work and many others that came after them.

I also feel like your statement is pretty reductive of Lynch’s work as well.
