He's definitely one of the few directors who is grandfathered in and can still get away with stuff others wouldn't.

I think he gradually built up credibility. If an equally experienced director started doing the same thing today, everyone would wonder how far the fetishism goes and ask a lot of questions.

If you work on a Tarantino film, you know there's going to be foot stuff. But that's as far as it goes - he's not a total creep like some other powerful men in Hollywood. So it's accepted as eccentric.
