Yeah, I worry that all the Tarantino knockoffs might prematurely age the film or diminish its appeal. Based on the replies to this post, my concerns are unfounded, but I still think that a time might come where his movies are laughed at as people move on past his style. But that's not a bad thing. FOr quite a while, Saturday Night Fever was mocked basically for the music and fashion, and people forgot about the story & the acting. Ironically, it was Tarantino himself who helped save that movie from being a 70s punchline by bringing Travolta back to the forefront as an ACTOR as opposed to a STAR (a gracious gesture Travolta quickly ruined with his ever-increasing reservior of crap). So at some point, some day, Tarantino's style MIGHT fall out of favor, and his movies MIGHT be considered trite & cliched, then something will happen that shifts the popculture zeitgeist and his stuff will be considered cool again.
