Totally in agreement there Corben.

Although I think it's a geographical/cultural thing in some way; i.e. it's an American thang!

Although also agree about basterds: Chapter One was some of the best cinema I've seen recently.
It's possible we'll see more mature films from him in the future, now that he's made money and a name with the childish slasher/blood splatter crap....

In the end though, to me he's just a Sergio Leone wannabe...
