Writer, director, and auteur filmmaker Quentin Tarantino has a pretty strong directorial style and even stronger opinions. The man behind films like "Reservoir Dogs" and "Once Upon a Time in Hollywood" has been no stranger to controversy over the years, like getting in trouble for his flagrant usage of racist slurs in his plantation revenge film "Django Unchained" or for his tendency toward extreme violence. One would think that might make him a little more empathetic toward other creatives whose work isn't received the way it was intended. Far from it, however, Tarantino has rarely hesitated to verbally trash his fellow directors when interviewed by the press, even putting down the misunderstood work of one of filmmaking's greatest creative voices.
In a 1992 interview, Tarantino decided to rag on a number of directors who had mostly avoided the studio system and made independent art films up to that point, among them "Eraserhead" writer and director David Lynch. Indeed, he had nothing nice to say about Lynch's 1992 film "Twin Peaks: Fire Walk With Me," and while, yes, criticism is subjective and his opinions are his to have, he's still incredibly, hilariously wrong.
