  1. It is of course cool and artsy to think of a filmography like this, but it's not a big deal to start learning filmmaking by doing it. Don't get stuck with planning your filmography if it will stop you from making your first movie

  2. I don’t think he’ll make another. He’ll leave the audience always wondering “when is the 10th film going to come out?”. He will be talked about for years and years with people anticipating. Plus, Once Upon a Time in Hollywood is probably the best possible film for a director like him to end on. It’s a love letter to the industry, one final goodbye. That’s my prediction.

  3. If he stops we can say he had a good run! A great run! Fan or not you’ll be able to say his movies have been very well-received by critics and moviegoers alike. But I think he loves his job too much to stop.

  4. I dont agree with Tarantino about "great filmographies" not having weak movies. There's much to say, along with the criticism, of Studio Era Hollywood, when the greats (or at least the ones, like Hitchcock, Ford, Wilder, Hawks, and Stuges ((until he burned out)), who knew how to survive and be creative within the system, were putting out several films a year, and we have a great body of work, along the the few duds. We're all better off. It's also my workng class background, in that "you can do something, then do it".

  5. Hitchcock could have continued to be a ground breaking filmmaker, if he had been allowed to makie his Frenzy (a.k.a. Kaleidoscope) after "The Birds". He could only get money to make what the studios, or what was left of them, "Hitchcock" films.

    Another question is how relevant can Tarantino be, without breaking the mold, when "Tarantino-esqe" has become a film style which has entered the culture with many not even knowing how it came to be, and what it was like to see "Pulp Fiction" in a theater, when it came out. Now that anyone can do a "Tarantino" film, I"m reminded of the scene in "Barton Fink", where the head of Capital Pictures tells Barton the he has any number of writers under contact who can give him "that Barton Fink" feeling (or words to that effect).
