tarantino did it with loads of style and if you actually go back and watch resevoir dogs instead of making assumptions youll see the camera actually just moves away from the body, shows absolutely none of the torture, then comes back once the ear is gone. we spent about fifteen minutes talking about how well done that scene was and how it is so often misrepresented as really graphically violent when it fact no violence is shown...that goes for most tarantino violence scenes as well, so id say pay some attention before you slag the guy off. outside of kill bill, where the violence was so fake ridiculous and over the top, if you took it seriously you are just a wussy.

agree with you on hostel though. same with the saw movies after the first one. i dont get my jollies watching people get tortured or on violence for the sake of violence. comparing tarantino to roth is ludicrous. i realize he has his name attached to the movies. that is where it ends though, he doesnt make them
