This from a script written by Tarantino. Is this really the level of writing necessary to be considered a Hollywood professional? Is this all it takes?

Better than the trite you try to produce.

trite

good morning ranjeesh. that's not a noun. you mean tripe.

Screenwriters aren't stylists. The point is to just get the idea down. They're simpletons, for the most part. Some are capable of writing full-on fiction, or at least decent-sounding dialogue, but their descriptive writing is so ass it's not even funny.

it is if you're buddies with weinstein

Tarantino, Wheadon and JJ Abrams are the Three Horsemen of ruining screenwriting.

MULATTO BUTTS!

2 feet fetish moments in half a page

What a god

Absolute legend.

You should read his Kill Bill screenplay (the original pre-production one). A whole fucking paragraph describing the lead characters pubic hair.

local celebrity, the most popular discjockey of the coolest radio

Are scripts supposed to tell you info you aren't getting from the movie itself?

I had never even heard of Death Proof. I had no idea he made something between Kill Bill and Bastards. Is it worth a watch?

No, but his scripts are full of this stuff. He writers like 40 page scenes that 100% won't be in the movie "just because" and adds needle drops. Lots of screenwriters post Shane Black do this sort of stuff.
Most interesting example of weird scriptwriting is Paul Schraeder on Taxi Driver. Tons of internal thoughts, "dialogue" scenes that consist of

They discuss Travis's job

Travis talks to himself in the mirror

It's his worst film by a huge margin. If you do bother watching it, may as well watch it as intended in the 3 hour Grindhouse cut.

The divisiveness to Death Proof is incredible to me. I find it to be a perfect movie and extremely fun. It's not for everyone and I can see why people don't like it. For a left handed movie by Tarantino, the execution is phenomenal.

It's a good short film with a bunch of waffling shit padding out the runtime until the car chase. It did actually work better in the Grindhouse version though. Shorter and a lot of the shabbiness of it felt appropriate (though on the other hand, the higher quality opening act felt too good for it).

I think even Tarantino has admitted Death Proof is his worst film. He said in an interview something along the lines of "if Death Proof is the worst film I ever make; I can live with that."

Damn I thought OP was a satire

It's a wack attempt at horror. Russell isn't used well, it's the only Tarantino movie that doesn't feel lived-in and the pulp is phony, it's closer to Eli Roth but somehow less sexy, the car chase is cringe, limp, no velocity, looks like they're going 30mph. Rodriguez's entry is similarly cringe. How far they fucking fell From Dusk Til Dawn, which is far more Grindhouse than Grindhouse and both showcased and synergized their styles.

the screenplay for Kill Bill is insane. there's a whole giant chase sequence with Go-Go's sister trying to get revenge on the Bride by chasing her all over Hollywood and Tarantino cut it all out

this can't be real

I mentioned that above. He wrote this extremely long chapter focused on a Japanese girl going to Disneyland, blowing up an entire suburb etc and then when they were filming the movie, an interviewer asked him about it and he was like

I was never going to film that. I just thought it was cool to have in the script if someone wanted to read it

He does that a lot.

Here is a 10 page backstory for a character that I have no interest in filming, but It's nice to read

Remember in Kill Bill he had the whole James Bond casino thing too?

Yeah, I heard him say this in an interview. Basically he wants the script to be a finished work in and of itself. If theoretically the movie doesn't end up getting made, the script should be a satisfying creation on its own.

Tarantino's biggest strength was networking and his personality, he also just happened to make good movies. but he wouldn't have had the opportunity of not for the aforementioned qualities.

its worth watching but its his biggest girl power film, Kurt Russell is great until they mog him

literally the "she breasted boobily down the stairs" meme

Cinemassio.

I think he only cut that sequence because he couldn't get the actress he wanted. She was from Battle Royale as well.

her big ass (a good thing)

It's funny that he had to qualify it.

It was cut (along with all the other retarded edits) because of Harvey. But Tarantino also said it was unlikely he was ever going to film it anyway. Same with the Bond sequence - cut because Warren Beatty dropped out, but he said it was too big for a backstory scene anyway - instead we got the gay flute shit.

The truth is that good directors expect you to read the screenplays. Those are the true "movie". Movies is a baby sounding word even. Yes, yes, here are your baby version of a picture book and has actors. True patricians will be reading the works and delving into deep themes and imagination that cannot be replicated with cheap props and cgi.

> and even the directors know it. They write the screenplays for the actual intelligentsia to enjoy while you pay for cut scenes and the dregs and miss details that are known to people with an actual education. Cry about "muh kino" as you miss half the true cinema experience you fucking dogs.

fucking tarankino man
shit

The original script for Sicario is cringe as fuck and starts with a high school tier voiceover monologue by Del Toro's character about the definition of revenge

I hate my fetish being associated with this Quasimodo fuck.

He also had to blow Harvey Weinstein, so there's that skill too.

It’s different when you are the director and screenwriter writing for yourself.

There's no craft in screenwriting and if you think there's a craft and a standard, you're severely delusional or misled. It's just rich people writing things for one another, it's not a form of actual creative writing like novels or poetry. Did you think it was? Holy shit. LOL.

As someone who's been writing them alongside my work on books, and having sold one or two, I'll say this: it's a joke. All of it. There's no craft involved. I learned this a little too late and weep over the wasted time but hey, better late than never. Once I understood that screenplays are no better than emails describing to a funder what you want him to fund for you to shoot then I got the "game" and sold my first script. You have to take it easy, describe in simple terms what the movie is about to the people you want to sell it too and that's it. I also worked as a script supervisor for this production company and some of the garbage piled in there, holy crap. My favorite was made by this clearly Hispanic gentleman trying his hand at a South-set crime drama and the way he wrote the dialogue and had long-winding prose out of a novel made my skin crawl with, no better word here, cringe.

This is fine with me since this is describing my perfect woman. Yes I am a bit of a sick fuck.

Why does Anon Babble believe in meritocracy so much? Hollywood is mainly about getting you to pay money to watch things that harm you and your society (revenge for you-know-what).

You do it's run by jews right? They love this.

Here, have a pity (You). I'm sure you were expecting more lmao
