Whilst appearing on 'The Bret Easton Ellis Podcast' Quentin Tarantino expressed his distaste for The Hunger Games, while discussing his 20 greatest movies of the 21st century so far. Battle Royale, his #11, he said:
“ I do not understand how the Japanese writer didn’t sue Suzanne Collins for every fucking thing she owns ,” Tarantino said. “ They just ripped off the fucking book! Stupid book critics are not going to go watch a Japanese movie called ‘Battle Royale, ’ so the stupid book critics never called her out on it. They talked about how it was the most original thing they’d ever fucking read. As soon as the film critics saw the film they said, ‘What the fuck! This is just “Battle Royale” except PG !'”
this man cannot be serious...
