Quentin Tarantino is taking another shot at modern Hollywood, saying most new movies leave him frustrated because they're filled with plot holes, audience pandering, poor casting, or what he bluntly called "stupid" ideas. In a new essay, the director behind Pulp Fiction said it's become rare for a film to completely win him over. Tarantino argued that today's movie industry has lost much of the magic that made him fall in love with cinema, even claiming the films of the last several years make the often-criticized 1980s look great by comparison. One major exception, however, is Netflix's new thriller The Rip starring Matt Damon and Ben Affleck. Tarantino praised the movie as a smart, suspenseful cop thriller with a clever premise, strong performances, excellent direction, and a standout screenplay. The filmmaker also reiterated his frustration with the shrinking theatrical window between movie theaters and home viewing, arguing that films now disappear from theaters too quickly. He previously called 2019 the "last year of movies" and says the current system has contributed to his growing disillusionment with the industry.
