Quentin seems to get all the criticism for jacking but a lot of directors have jacked lesser known or well known content from other movies or plays or writings to incorporate into their movies.
There was a saying any artist who is well known has stolen from someone.

i always thought of Kill Bill as an homage to the 1970s kung fu flicks...i wouldn't consider that one a rip-off...
Damn. Tarantino literally stole everything he ever "made."
He also loves to film people sitting at dining room tables and has a fetish for feet.
My wife said he offered $200 to lick her toes when she worked as a flight attendant.

Hasn't every white man? Every pale ghost looking motherfucker done the same?
He also loves to film people sitting at dining room tables and has a fetish for feet.
Your wife white?
as a filmmaker i understand that
"no idea is original, nothing new under the sun"
everything is influenced by something that came before.
Its really not what you do, it how you can make it BETTER.
Im a HUGE Tarantino fan but my only criticism is that every film since kill bill has a plot involving revenge. He was suppose to make Killer Crow, which was about black soliders in world war II going to Germany to kill the white soldiers out of revenge for betraying them. almost like a Military version of Django (which was a classic IMO)

That was pretty good 
and yet this nigga won best ORIGINAL screenplay TWICE..
I wanted to see that too or at least read the rest of the story. It was supposed to take place before the Inglorious Basterds storyline. Since it was a period piece he said if he moves on to another period he likely wouldn't make it. Then django came and now hateful 8 both westerns.
I bet he didn't do because he got talked down because it would've taken the shine off the Jewish soldiers in IG so he saved it for another story (Django) He said early on he likes revenge films.
Someone should take the idea and make it a movie anyway as much as he takes from other films.
