AAArrrrrrgggggghhhhhh!!!!!

The fucking 35 year old hipsters on my street playing on skateboards, the 25 year olds in bands obsessing with the 80s music just before their own time, the fucking idiots my age blathering on about their H & R Puffenstuff lunchbox. All been driving me crazy lately, and this guy just about nails it.
Tarantino and I are the same age — we were both born in 1963 — so I'm speaking middle-aged guy to middle-aged guy when I say that it's time to put away childish things. Manic jags of hyperbole about vintage crap start to wear thin once you're only a couple of Presidential elections away from your AARP years.

I said as much about Tarantino after Pulp Fiction "blew up." Even back then I could tell the guy was stunted (same goes for Kevin Smith, also in his mid-30s). Their recent movies seem to be crapping out because either their loyal fans grew up or the younger audience doesn't care about their nostalgia trips. Tom Scharpling's been getting some great digs in on the WB hipsters lately. He's even proposed a comic book: White Belt and Kickball Lad.

people who complain about hipsters are just mad that they're old and not cool anymore. if you really had something to do/worry about you wouldn't care. i've seen it a thousand times. PS tarantino's movies kick ass.

Tarantino is a fucking hack self-fistfucking lithper. Pulp Fiction is unpleasant, self-indulgent, hyper-retro-kitsch crap and Kill Bill 1 and 2 are utterly unwatchable. I saw the trailer of Grindhouse and only felt bad for Kurt Russell. Watch Boogie Nights if you want a Tarantino movie done by someone with talent.
