Quentin Tarantino Will Not Make Old-Man Movies

Quentin Tarantino is a self-proclaimed movie lover, obsessed to an unhealthy level. He discusses his extensive knowledge of film in an upcoming interview in GQ magazine, but partway through the interview he seems to disrespect the filmmakers who came before him, putting down older directors (without naming any names).

Tarantino, who is 46, insists that he doesn’t plan to make movies after he’s 60 because he’ll lose the rock and roll element of filmmaking, saying, “If you go through their filmographies, directors don’t get better. Especially when they’ve had a serious twenty- or thirty-year career. It’s not like they’re waiting for their last five years to make that out-and-out masterpiece. They get worse. . .I imagine this is partly just what happens to you when you’re in your sixties.”

Ouch. We think Martin Scorsese and everyone who saw The Departed might disagree. [Photo: GettyImages]
