Quentin Tarantino has fired back at the people who attacked him for declaring his admiration for Joker: Folie à Deux.In October, the Pulp Fiction director appeared on The Bret Easton Ellis Podcast and said he “really, really liked” the sequel, which has been largely derided by a lot of film fans.“I went to see it expecting to be impressed by the filmmaking,” he said. “But I thought it was going to be an arms-length, intellectual exercise that ultimately I wouldn’t think worked like a movie, but that I would appreciate it for what it is.“And I’m just nihilistic enough to kind of enjoy a movie that doesn’t quite work as a movie.

When she comes in the house and Brad Pitt throws a can of dog food in her face and then she goes out to the pool and gets burned up by Leonardo DiCaprio, that was quite a first impression for me because I didn’t know her from her [FX comedy-drama] series Better Things.“I only knew her from Once Upon A Time and because I cast my own films, every time I see somebody like that, it really captures my attention.
