Awful screenplay, very cliched, like the acting.

I'd put that in my worst 20 films of all time.
Edit: Or have you never seen much more than 20 films?

True Romance may have been directed by Tony Scott, but it's got Tarantino all over it. Personally I'd say that - especially with someone who has a specific style like Tarantino - many movies belong just as much to their writer as they do to their director.
On that note, I certainly don't consider Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind to be a Michel Gondry film, even though it is. I consider it a Charlie Kaufman film. Similarly, I associate Being John Malkovich more with Kaufman than I do with Jonze, even though Jonze is quirky on his own.

Because people should take the feelings of directors - and your sensibilities in regards to what makes something a particular person's movie - into account when expressing their opinions?
Like I mentioned prior, the script was different; different ending, different structure. Different film.
Is From Dusk Till Dawn a Tarantino movie? No.
Don't even get me started on the inane comment of Se7en being a Walker film.

I write-up movies all the time and rarely mention the directors in my critique of them.

I don't care about director sensitivity, it's just basic FACTS that I'm looking for.
It's a Tony Scott movie.

You talk about inane comments, but you're the one bitching about a 3 sentence post in the The Rate the Last Movie You Saw thread.

"I'd say that's an insult to both Tony Scott and Quentin Tarantino." - Your exact words, dude.
And a Quentin Tarantino movie.
Yes. And a Robert Rodriquez movie.

My post wasn't bitching, it was a discussion. Your comments on the other hand. Very Presidential.

Also, you conveniently failed to acknowledge Natural Born Killers as a Tarantino movie.

I deleted that part accidentally and didn't care enough to go back. It's not an exception to anything I've said.

Antigone
The elegance of the compositions kept me interested, but I was unable to engage with the film on an intellectual or emotional level. I'll continue viewing Straub/Huillet films...yet I can't help but feel that their films simply are not for me.

Abraham Lincoln +
The opening acts promised a masterwork akin to Ford's Young Mr. Lincoln. Walter Huston's performance is one of the best I've seen in ages, and the photography - as typical of Griffith - is terrific. The film, however, doesn't possess any narrative flow; we see several moments in Lincoln's life, but it's all at a distance, and without any semblance of cohesion. There's a masterpiece in here somewhere...just not in its current state.
