Tarantino isn't even subtle.

All of his movies are just filler for his foot fetish.

That has literally zero bearing on whether or not he's a predator. Jesus christ.

I respectfully disagree. He isn't even hiding the fact that he has a foot fetish and uses his power dynamic to coerce actresses to do whatever he wants to them. His actions paint a portrait of someone I would suspect of being a predator.

Yes, except in this specific case that isn't what happened at all. This scene was pretty much improvised. Still a creep, though.

Why do you think it was improvised? Can you show me something that supports that?
