Irrelevant as long as you make money. Tarantino has never done anything else but he makes the studio a ton of cash.
Just look at George Lucas. He built a billion dollar franchise by taking the slants out of the eyes and making a sword into a laser. Pretty much everything else is just ripped off. And the irony is the same exact series did it to itself.
Jack Thomas
A big part for me is admitting the source of your inspiration. Like say Tarantino is pretty up front about the basis of his movies being old movies that he likes, he gives the original actors/directors of those movies bit parts and if youd asked him he would gladly talk about all of this because he just loves this stuff. Now you take someone like Aronofsky and he takes a scene shot for shot from Perfect Blue for Requiem and then basically remakes the rest into Black Swan and I never heard him mention this in interviews etc. plus the fact he owns the adaptation rights to the movie which makes him immune legally makes him a hack in my eyes.
Benjamin Campbell
worship Kon but I don't think Paprika and Inception are similar.
That's based though, buying the rights to Perfect Blue just so you can ripoff stuff like Natalie Portman screaming in her bathtub. I can respect that because at least he was 100% honest about it, and outside of ripping off shit made it his own, because Black Swan can stand on it's own two legs for sure. And again I dickride Kon all day.

if you say your inspirations then thats homages, if you wait for people to found it then its plagiarism

Except for all those effects, scenes and editing techniques he ripped directly.

For Quentin the Tarantula, it, like his hairline, grows thinner and thinner by the day. Ironicallt, I think the first time his tendency for """homage""" truly jumped the shark was with his use of selections from Ennio Morricone's The Thing score in Hateful 8. Not only was the movie was just a little over 30 years old at the time, but unlike many of his other homages which allude to obscure cultish pop culture, it was widely known and recognized in the mainstream, and was thus lazy as fuck.
Jaxson Torres
They were both ripped from an old Ducktales comic.

Is this highlander 2 screenshot?

There's nothing I remember outside of the dream device itself and people using it for bad things. Inception is basically a straight gritty heist movie that just happens to take place in dreams.
>OooOoOo the hallways spinnin'!
Paprika actually captured the chaotic and straight fucking random nature of real dreams.

Ah yes, I can see how Nolan was influenced by this. Are you insane?
The opening credits alone are enough to set it so far apart from Inception that anyone would understand they're going for completely different things. And I like both movies.

To be fair, the tracks from The Thing that he used in Hateful 8 were all unused tracks from the movie. It was kinda cool how he was able to recontextualize something that got left on the cutting room floor
