It also makes musicals hard to do. You can’t stop for the song. And what makes good musicals great. A good action movie should be like a good musical.

Tarantino is weird because other than Kill Bill and Django his films don’t really have action sequences. Inglouriojs Basterds was a war film without a war for instance. The violence is more in the language and then sudden and over.
