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 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.

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.

Tarantino does realistic absurdity better than anyone, but my favorites tend to be his straight ahead, no frills crime dramas

Jackie Brown is my personal #1, probably maybe followed by Once Upon a Time but it gets muddy after that... and yeah, those scripts for Natural Born Killers and True Romance were amazeballs

Imdb the casts for those early scripts of his, its a damn who's who's jumping in on Taratinos characters

Gary Oldman
Dennis Hopper
James Gandolfini
Pitt
Arquette
Slater
A 53 man roster of every recognizable character actor ever
-
Woody Harrelson
Juliet Lewis
Tommy Lee Jones
Downey Jr
Rodney Dangerfield
And yet another huge cast slam full of recognizable faces

Both well directed by someone else, they didn't muck up the golden goose... but those movies are all about Tarantinos written characters and story arcs
