In Reply to: better dialog Kevin Smith or Tarantino??? posted by Blaxploitation on August 26, 2000 at 01:57:40:
...depends on the movie and how it's been written and all that shit.
Sometimes, I find Kevin's dialogue unrealistic. What 20-something slacker is gonna continuously use big fucking words like that? THey use them occasionally, but not over and over and over as if they read a thesaurus...daily...to enhance their vocabulary.
Tarantino's dialogue is simple, but straightforward. Too the point. And, while cheesy sometimes, it makes good for fast paced-delivery.
Tarantino's the better director, but Kevin's scripts are slightly above his.
Now a collaboration?
Hell yes.
How many words did I misspell in this post?
