Kill Bill was the project that transformed a uniquely talented trope-loving auteur into a loud, obnoxiously forward self parody. The films he made in the 90's are so far ahead of the films he has made this millennium it's as if he himself is making the films that over-influenced, over-privileged film students should be leaving education to create in homage to him only he's doing it with crazy studio money and churning out three hour films with B-movie plots with about half an hour of quality material.

He is a living warning for anybody who values style over substance. You can only borrow from so many other films for so long before people start to notice that your films are a bit hollow.
There's the obvious danger in replicating his beloved one dimensional drive through movies.
