Comments on: Maker of 2003 Grindhouse film says he sent it to Tarantino, was ripped off http://www.celebitchy.com/3584/independent_filmmaker_has_original_grindhouse_says_he_sent_it_to_tarantino_and_was_ripped_off/ Stylish celebrity escapism Wed, 15 Feb 2012 06:21:01 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.2.1 By: Viv http://www.celebitchy.com/3584/independent_filmmaker_has_original_grindhouse_says_he_sent_it_to_tarantino_and_was_ripped_off/#comment-29859 Viv Wed, 11 Apr 2007 22:42:55 +0000 http://www.celebitchy.com/3584/independent_filmmaker_has_original_grindhouse_says_he_sent_it_to_tarantino_and_was_ripped_off/#comment-29859 I'm glad they're separating the film into two. I was really looking forward to them but I'm boycotting Rodriguez's just because I think he's a shady pos for what he did to his wife. Now this comes up... damn. I'll just have to wait until DVD release I guess. I’m glad they’re separating the film into two.

Tarantino used the same title for a totally different story. But it's a one-word title of an old term. There's a lot worse plagiarism in Hollywood. WTF does the guy want, for Tarantino to say "Nice title, kid."? He cries about how Tarantino copies stuff for other movies. So why the hell would you send him a copy of your movie, especially since he expressed no interest in seeing it in the first place? He’s making a lot more of it than the situation seems to merit.

Not only was he "inspired" by the film's style, he "borrowed" camera angles, animation narrative, villain types, etc. Some of the "borrowing" is shot-for-shot. I'm not saying that Tarantino isn't talented, and an argument could be made that having the acumen to imitate quality films is it's own type of skill, but it does beg the question when inspiration becomes outright stealing. I don't know, but it is a valid question when so little of what Tarantino does is truly original. And I also have problems with self-described geniuses.

Especially when you consider that this guy even sais by himself that Quentin didn't steal his story. The 2003 and the 2007 Grindhouse movie don't have anything in common - expect of the title. And that title is 40 years old. So I really don't see why Stephen Tramontana is complaining. Look here at an interview with Quentin and Robert about how they came up with the idea: http://www.joblo.com/index.php?id=15174 (Quentin introduced Robert with Grindhouse 12 years ago. Three years ago Robert came up with the idea of doing a Double Feature together with Quentin cause Robert wanted to do something contrary to the kids movies.) Exatly, Carol.

The movies are supposed to be bad, that's part of their "charm". Tarentino said in an interview the other day there's a bit of story missing in his movie because grindhouse movies were often missing reels and thus chunks of the storyline. The missing part is where the explanation of how the machine gun leg works would have been, pretty convenient section to not have to write.
