A typical day, 30 days to 18 October 2026
The middle day of the days counted, so one week of news cannot move it. The line under it is the last 393 days, one point a day.
Something wrong?He made ultra-violence stylish, profanity operatic, and pop-culture references a structural principle - then won Oscars for it. Two generations of filmmakers have tried to copy the Tarantino syntax; none have his ear for dialogue or his nerve.

, The harshest censorship is self-censorship.
I look at Death Proof and realize I had too much time.
I write movies about mavericks, about people who break rules, and I don't like movies about people who are pulverised for being mavericks.

Tarantino arrived in 1992 with Reservoir Dogs, an independent crime film that announced a new sensibility. Two years later Pulp Fiction won the Palme d'Or at Cannes and his first Academy Award for Best Original Screenplay, turning a non-linear crime comedy-drama into a cultural reset. He wrote and starred in From Dusk till Dawn (1996), then directed Jackie Brown (1997) as homage to blaxploitation. The two-volume Kill Bill (2003-2004) plunged into martial arts; Death Proof (2007) was his half of the Grindhouse double feature with Robert Rodriguez. Inglourious Basterds (2009) rewrote World War II, and Django Unchained (2012) - a slave revenge Spaghetti Western - won him his second screenplay Oscar. The Hateful Eight (2015) played as a roadshow revisionist Western thriller, and Once Upon a Time in Hollywood (2019) closed the 1960s with a comedy-drama about Old Hollywood's death. His films have grossed over $1.9 billion worldwide. He's said his tenth will be his last.
