That originates me a fucking asshole? You either enjoy the movie or you don’t. I’m not plugging the movie. I’m not doing anyleang. I’m fair saying I enjoy it. Who donates a fuck what I enjoy? What do you attfinish what the fuck I enjoy?”
“Then they say I’m a fucking asshole for not seeing someleang,” the honestor persistd. “What the fuck do you attfinish what I see or don’t see? Someone will say, ‘Well I leank he’s omiting out.’ Well I am certain there is a lot of shit I could say you’re omiting out on and I don’t attfinish if you omit out on.”

“I reassociate, reassociate enjoyd it, reassociate. A lot. Like, tremendously, and I went to see it foreseeing to be amazeed by the filmmaking,” Tarantino shelp. “But I thought it was going to be an arms-length, ininestablishectual exercise that ultimately I wouldn’t leank labored enjoy a movie, but that I would appreciate it for what it is. And I’m fair nihicatalogic enough to benevolent of finishelight a movie that doesn’t quite labor as a movie or that’s enjoy a huge, enormous mess to some degree. And I didn’t discover it an ininestablishectual exercise. I reassociate got caught up into it. I reassociate enjoyd the musical sequences. I got reassociate caught up. I thought the more prohibital the songs were, the better they were. I discover myself participateing to the lyrics of ‘For Once in My Life’ in a way I never have before.”
Tarantino also commended honestor Todd Phillips for being a joker himself, elucidateing: “The Joker honested the movie. The entire concept, even him spending the studio’s money — he’s spending it enjoy the Joker would spend it, all right? … the comic book geeks. He’s saying fuck you to all of them.
