I hope he reconsiders retiring, as long as he can improve upon "Once Upon a Time in Hollywood", which was by far his worst movie IMO. I think this is the interview you mentioned:

I think time will be kind to OUaTiH. It's the first movie in a long time that brought the same assessment energy that The Big Lebowski did, where people go into the movie with expectations and are disappointed, and then when they think back on what the movie actually was instead of what they expected, they appreciate it more and more.

I was disappointed immediately after watching it the first time, but a lot of it stuck with me and when I rewatched it calibrated to what he was actually trying to do it rose exponentially in my assessment. I'd put it in my favorites of his, and I'm a certified fan of ALL his stuff and have been since the jump.

Over time, The H8ful Eight will be his worst movie, because it's basically a stage play in a cinematic setting, just talking and talking and telling stories of stuff that happened elsewhere in a room.

Once Upon a Time in Hollywood is a ****ing classic and easily in QT's top 5.

Oooof idk. He's got a lot of great movies.

I enjoyed Once Upon a Time in Hollywood too. But one of his top 5? I'd have to put more thought into that.

Reservoir Dogs
Pulp Fiction
Inglorious Bastards
Django
Kill Bill 1 & 2
Death Proof
Dusk Till Dawn

And then do you count movies he wrote the screen play for? Like Natural Born Killers?

Man, he's got quite the selection of excellent movies.

Don't forget True Romance

I know many people agree with you, but I feel it's his worst.

Reservoir Dogs, Pulp Fiction, Inglorious Basterds, Django unchained, and both Kill Bill movies are vastly superior IMO.

Crimson Tide . . .

But yeah, True Romance was his best non-directing writing credit.

I'm kinda torn between TR and NBK, love' em both

NBK was gonzo, while TR was a straight ahead story... NBK a much bigger hit tho

Natural Born Killers was like a bad acid trip

One of my first memorable "favorite" movies.

Dude needs to stay miles the **** away from Trek.

I dunno, he might be a pleasant surprise with sci-fi

Why? Star Trek Discovery exists. Nobody could ever do worse than that.

QT makes a specific kind of film and I just don't see how the tone of his films can ever possibly work in Trek.

It will, more than likely, turn into some overly bloody and ultra violent romp through space and I just couldn't possibly care less for it. Use a franchise that lends itself to that type of writing... like Alien or Predator.

I just don't want him to teabag Trek... and that is exactly what I expect he would do.

I would love to be wrong though because I love Trek and if he were to make a worthy entry into the cannon I wouldn't hold it against him.
