I think Quentin was being openly sarcastic. For example, I said that Steve Austin movie was one of the best ever made and I knew I meant it in a sick, perverted way. Itsthe kindof perverse urge that makes you want to go see that last Rambo movie on opening night, rent Transorphers, and drink beers with friends while making fun of Attack Of The Gryphon or The Killing of Satan.

quentin tarantino isn't really being sarcastic. he really loves ridiculous stylized violence, and it's hard to tell when he's laughing at the audience and when he's laughing with them. that's the kind of movies he makes.
