Now im just confused... what unbelievable special effects did Resevoir Dogs or Pulp Fiction have? Kill Bill was mostly just a lot of blood. Sin City had quite a few, but nothing more than any other movie. Sure you aren't thinking of George Lucas? I think those directors tell a great story in a very unique way. It has nothing to do with effects. Cinematography, maybe. but just because its refreshingly different. they are both good writers and badass directors.

sorry, I never saw the reservoir dogs. I did watch pulp fiction and kill bill. It is just the way that Quentin crosscuts the movies together the baffles me.
I am not saying he does not bring in the big bucks. I am sure that there are a few that can understand his off tangent thoughts but, not me.
The special effects are just not blowing ---- up it could also include crosscutting.

George Lucas on the other hand, most of his movies tell a story and and has great cinematography.

I saw it. About 20 people left after the first movie. I wonder if they just didnt know that it was a double feature.

In other words ur saying that ur a little too slow to keep up with and understand his movies...It's ok, we understand...I've always liked his movies...Did he direct Dusk Till Dawn, or did he just have a part in that one U gotta like that flick, if for no other reason than Selma Hayek's table dance...
