This reminds me of the story I read once about Baseball Reference's old link naming structure.

It was similar to this scheme, but it took the first five letters of the last name, and the first two of the first name. There were variants and workarounds for players with the same letters in their name, and such.

But then there was the result for Jewish player Kevin Youkilis...

Isn't that the definition of filmmaking? All movies are just collages of influences, style, and form. All art is a remix on previous forms.

It's okay to not like Tarantino, I don't care much about that, but your argument doesn't really hold up for me.
