No. He ripped off other films to make these as well.

Name one picture that doesn't borrow some idea, concept or scenerio from other films. Everything that is made because the creator saw something he liked and decided to use that sort of situation, concept, idea, etc to build on their own work.
It's not ripping off, it's building a creative fresh idea from old ones. The terrible use of "rip off" is as bad as "censorship" in the forum.

Quentin Tarantino doesn't do this. I read it and it doesn't apply to what he does. So what's your point? You go away.

EVERY person who makes a film does...sorry to burst your bubble...

the point is all those who just jump on the "He rips off everything from others" wagon and play it up. The guy takes elements that worked in other films and puts a new twist on them. Add's his own flair to it and makes it shine. The out of sequence elements existed before Pulp fiction but QT made it work in mainstream.
Pay homage, retry elements are all words that are better suited then "Rip off". There is a fine line between Rip off and recreate elements or use anothers idea to further develop your own story. It makes it seem like he is doing this with no concern for the original person who attempted it. QT gives credit where credit is due and has been very good to all those who he has admired their work.

Then you must have been original model for John Wayne Gacy.
Don't start attacking people personally just because your 'idol' is a fraud and you can't handle that.
The fact that your freaking out says alot about you personally. I don't even need to say a damn thing else. You've said it all.

Yeah it does, although I heard it's not big on action and I'm not really into these types of movies, this one has me interested - could be pretty good.
