He needs to stop with those final film silliness. Work when you are inspired.

[@xDrawingDead]

He’s slowly realizing it.

[@RichardLucas]

I mean, he's free to do what he wants. It's not silly to him, and that's all that matters.

[@frankb821]

Exactly!

[@sbpate6]

Totally agree.

[@zachmorley158]

His preoccupation with the perfect filmography has damaged his creative process. He wants too much stylistic uniformity between his movies, because he desperately wants them all to be coming from the same place and belong to a singular body of work. It severely limits the scope of what he allows himself to do.

[@mikeb3018]

i hope he releases it as a novel or just the script itself

[@jerogomezrobledo]

The pressure to make one final movie leads to this cancelation.

[@alexaecho4273]

Sounds like it was his insecurities.

[@jasonleetaiwan]

Why quit after 10? His movies are like events to go to.

[@wisdomincoming12]

All spectacle. No substance. At least once upon a time was

[@mcdragonproductions]

Science Fiction needs Quentin!

[@guarantweed]

He must have a better idea and didn't want this to be his last film. He wants to make sure his last film is not ony great but that it caps off his career as a director. That may be a problem since he will always second guess what his final film would be. He should have never capped it with a number. Instead, after finishing a film that he knows is great. Go, yeah, that's my last one.

[@tanguydelooz2881]

I was looking forward to his movie critic story

[@zachmorley158]

He’ll probably make it into a novel.

[@tijmen2813]

I really hope he will make a Rambo remake with Kurt Russell and Adam Driver. Three years ago he told something about making a Rambo remake with these actors. Would be really nice

[@mmayer1558]

It didn't really give off "last movie" vibes to me. Though I guess in some way it was relevant for a last movie. Like the concept of being judged by the last thing you make, the overall opinion and criticism that surrounds your oeuvre of work

Learn English .

[@TheDirectorEmpire]

@@alexaecho4273You don’t need a space between the “h” and the full-stop.

[@Argyles100]

NICK CAGE AS CAPT KIRK NOW PLEASE 🙏 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏 that’s the movie Quentin!!! 🤯

[@onelife7247]

He’s not allowed to retire ☝️

[@stevechance150]

Daniel Day-Lewis has entered the chat.

[@justaperson9155]

I'm so glad. Once Upon A Time seemed like enough of that Hollywood theme. If his final film ends up being some other fantastical adventure style film in the likes of Django Unchained or Inglorious Basterds, I'll be so happy, and it'll feel like the right thing to end on.

[@jlg395]

Says you.

[@ryanpadilla6010]

Aww I wish The Movie Critic would’ve been made soon and it could’ve been awesome to see Brad Pitt reprise his role as Cliff Booth from Once Upon a Time in Hollywood.

[@PHlophe]

Ryan, um.. Eu não sabia que este era o seu último filme, ele sempre parece bravo.

[@Edwin-pq6dg]

Once Upon a Time in Hollywood. ? A terrible copycat movie .

[@kerrypeter4943]

This 'only 10 films' rule is starting to become a very restrictive limitation. He wanted to make Star Trek, but didn't want it to be his final film, so he scrapped it. Now the same has happened with this project. It's been 5 years since his last project, and he's only 61. If he wants to make 'Trek', 'Critic' and more films, he has plenty of time, and could've easily made one of them in the past 5 years.

[@cutthroatyt5808]

Quality over quantity my friend

[@ElectricNippleTorture]

Really? I could have sworn it was because the rightsholder or whomever was in charge of funding/producing the film said Tarantino wasn't allowed to make it R-rated, that's why he backed out or lost interest in making a Star Trek movie.

[@wisdomincoming12]

@@cutthroatyt5808But he made hateful 8 & Hollywood. Just because the movie is long with lots of talking doesn’t mean it’s quality

[@weeklyalexa257]

Some of us will be aunts, uncles..even grandparents by the time this comes out 😆

[@cdscf]

Now can we dream again of Tarantino's Star Trek!!🙏🏻🙏🏻

[@honeybadgerjay1724]

🙏🙏🙏 When was the last time a Sci fi film got shot on film?

[@MintyFreshTurds]

He won't make his last movie a used up franchise lol.

[@leddmask]

Dude an R rated Star Trek movie from him would be nuts

[@Argyles100]

Why is Nick Cage not in Tarantino’s last movie….ITS EGREGIOUS!

[@fameandfreaks]

Please do a slasher horror flick.

[@jlg395]

He did.

[@miggy78]

What we he does it’s will be a masterpiece. He’s akin to perfection. Just like when he was casting inglorious basterds. He almost canceled that movie project bc he couldn’t find someone to play Landa….then he found Christopher Waltz, and the rest is history. As movie fans and QT fans, we have to trust him. If something not right it’s not right. As a last movie the Critic didn’t sound like the last hurrah type of story….it sounded great. The way he explained it for me hooked. Bc that’s how much I trust QT. But if the movie project was cancelled it was because something wasn’t right, something was not gelling as as a filmmaker QT has taught us to follow our gut. Now if people could just take a chill pill and let the master do his work.

[@wisdomincoming12]

He needs Harvey to carry him again

[@tomfleischhacker3172]

Kind’ve like The Who/The Eagles and ‘this is our final tour…’

[@treenincove1726]

The screenplay was probably fire. QT is putting too much pressure on hinself with this whole last movie thing. Filmmakers make films. If you dont want to be a filmmaker anymore, then stop. But stop all this unnecessary "final film" hype. Miyazaki has had like 6 "final films" already. Then follows them up with another banger. He's the Never-ending Man. That's what filmmakers do. When their well of creativity runs dry, they take a break. Stop putting pressure on yourself, Quentin. You're a master at putting your dreams onscreen.

[@mopthermopther]

He should make a movie about: Gaza-schmaza

[@dawidkowalewicz5845]

what a moronic idea....

[@tommorales2371]

Id love tosee him doa space movie, or another western.

[@wisdomincoming12]

You really want another western from him after hateful 8? Genuine question

[@alucidrainbow]

Am I the only who thought that the movie's whole premise sounded like a brainfart?

[@quarantinebored1427]

I’m sure “the movie critic” will be made into a novel instead.

[@michaelsangiuliano6299]

When you die, the credits will roll, and it will say directed by Quentin Tarantino. We are living the final film. Boom. Mind blown

[@Brandon-tk2rw]

Pauline Kael, I'm guessing

[@user-xe4cg9hc2e]

Tom Cruise would have made for an excellent Ken Touie. Not surprised Brad Pitt didn't want to play a version of Ryan O'Neil, given his current familial situation. I also think that Mr. Pitt's carear is doomed to go the way of Johnny Depp's anyway. Just wait until his Formula 1 thing crashes and burns.

[@wisdomincoming12]

Honestly Quentin hasn’t made a decent film since Django. Once upon a time was very very aimless. I think it’s time Quentin

[@bryanhogamier3039]

This guy is still relevant after talking about 13 year old party girls on Howard Stern? Geesh. I don't care what he's done. I wouldn't leave a kid alone with him. That's how I judge him, everything else is irrelevant.

[@thetrickster9885]

Bro 😂😂you wont judge him from his work. But " i wouldnt leave a kid with him😢😢😢"" 😂😂

[@desmondjefferson2127]

Please, do go out like this... Your last movie needs to be more like Reservoir and pulp fiction.

[@stevechance150]

We were promised a sci-fi film Quentin!!!

[@americangangster1911]

So we won't actually see his nwxt movie until 2026? 2027?

[@frankb821]

Shame. Tarantino will probably probably dig deep and end up doing something very different, like a samurai revenge fantasy

[@goodmusicneverdies1302]

I get why; there certainly aren't enough excuses for long, drawn-out feet shots in such a picture! 🦶🏻

[@peterhansen5096]

Which is too bad

[@stevenrodriguez3891]

🤔

[@jstplyfregame]

The movie critic sounds just like the Incomparable atuk and the Confederacy of Dunces. Cynical and rude, naive and unapologetic. Movies are really starting to feel like his making anyways. Last film or not, his has to achieve his own greatness.

[@puffball4484]

This mf not retiring lol.

[@GrannyGarrett]

I'll Be Waiting, starring Beyonce as Copperhead's daughter and Lady Gaga as Uma Thurman. Please, it's all we need Quentin.

[@_rob_.]

Don't care.

[@mistadopeman]

Thank goodness. Not the way to finish off his career.

[@robhernandez2976]

“Final project” - yeah, let’s hope so.

[@tuneyouup]

Pitt is a punk

[@covek4048]

Why?

[@TiaCatR]

Quentin Tarantino needs to just go away. I've never had any use for him or his ultra violent unpleasant films. Bye!

[@chrisedwards6663]

oh no how horrible im like totally bummed and stuff

[@annalisavajda252]

Well I didn't care for Once Upon a Time in Hollywood personally regardless of having a great cast it seemed insulting to Bruce Lee and Sharon Tate and her murdered friends imo they were all actual people not just characters for his rewrite of history oh and Polanski is actually disgusting too.

[@tommorales2371]

Please dont do a sequel to " hollywood" it was horrible. I know his last one is going to suck ayways.

[@BUY_YT_Views_881]

I missed your video the other day, and man, my day was so boring...
