1. I think a lot of critical confusion over recent Tarantino films comes from mis-genre-ing them. What if Inglourious Basterds and Once Upon A Time in Hollywood aren't historical films. What if they are science fiction?

Perhaps better described as speculative historical fiction. History as wish fulfilment. I never thought Tarantino was trying to make a realistic WW2 platoon drama

Boys, boys--read some Delany. Genres are social objects, and thus families of influence, not susceptible to reductive definition.

For the record, I think Jeet is less wrong here, but you should both stand in a corner and think about what you've done.
