BOSS: "You do know Tarantino didn't even write half of his movies, right?"
ME: "Uh, I think he actually wrote all of them."
BOSS: "No, dude, he totally didn't."
ME: "What ones didn't he write?"
BOSS: "I don't know, I can't remember all his movies."
ME: "Well he wrote Reservoir Dogs, pretty sure he co-wrote Pulp Fiction with Roger Avary, he wrote Jackie Brown based on an Elmore Leonard novel..."
BOSS: "Jackie Brown sucks though."
ME: "I love Jackie Brown, but anyway, he wrote Kill Bill, Death Proof and Inglourious Basterds, so yeah, pretty sure that's all of them."
BOSS: "No, that doesn't sound right to me. He hasn't even done anything in about ten years, he's just been producing a bunch of Japanese movies."
ME: "Well, he did both Kill Bills, Death Proof and Inglourious Basterds in the past ten years, and he's working on Django Unchained."
BOSS: "Jenga what?"
ME: "Django Unchained, a movie he wrote and directed. Like all those other ones."
BOSS: "No man, I went to film school, and I remember we had a debate about Tarantino, and I totally remember like half of his movies he didn't write. I hate having these debates with you because I have to go do research and I don't have time to do that right now."
ME: "Well let me do that for you..."
I whipped out my phone, looked it up, and guess what folks?
ME: "Yep, says here he wrote or co-wrote every movie he has directed."
BOSS: "What about, what was it, Grindhouse?"
ME: "Yeah, Grindhouse was two movies, he did Death Proof, Robert Rodriguez did Planet Terror."
BOSS: "Grindhouse was shitty anyway."
ME: "I liked it, but either way he still wrote the one of those he directed."
BOSS: "No way, I need to check wikipedia later."
ME: "I'm telling you I'm on wikipedia right now and it says he wrote every movie he directed. I love Quentin Tarantino and I know what I'm talking about."
BOSS: "Dude, you're talking to a guy who's seen probably 20,000 movies in his lifetime."
ME: "20,000 movies? You haven't seen 20,000 movies, come on."
BOSS: "No, dude seriously, at least 10,000, probably way more than that. That's all I did when I was a kid."
ME: "Well, that doesn't change the fact Tarantino wrote every movie he directed."
BOSS: "Tarantino's a hack anyway. Look, man, I'd love to keep discussing this but I'm busy."

So yeah he's kind of an insufferable cunt. |
