"In his recent podcast interview with the legendary controversial author Bret Easton Ellis and therefore perhaps in a mood to provoke and epater les bourgeois de la critique Tarantino unveiled his top 20 best films of the 21st century. Asked why Paul Thomas Anderson's There Will Be Blood was only at number 5, Tarantino declared that Dano was the problem: [Dano] is weak sauce, man. He is the weak sister He's just such a weak, weak, uninteresting guy."
"The top 10 half of his picks is an almost ostentatiously normie list, a Letterboxd civilian list, in reverse order: Woody Allen's Midnight in Paris, Edgar Wright's Shaun of the Dead, George Miller's Mad Max: Fury Road, Tony Scott's Unstoppable, David Fincher's Zodiac, PTA's There Will Be Blood, Christopher Nolan's Dunkirk, Sofia Coppola's Lost in Translation, Lee Unkrich's Toy Story 3 and Ridley Scott's wartime action-thriller Black Hawk Down at the very top."
Quentin Tarantino publicly criticized Paul Dano, calling him "weak sauce" and "uninteresting," after ranking films in his top 20 of the 21st century. Tarantino placed There Will Be Blood at number five and attributed that placement to Dano's performance. Daniel Day-Lewis and others responded by defending Paul Dano. Tarantino's top-ten selection leaned toward mainstream, widely admired films, including Midnight in Paris, Shaun of the Dead, Mad Max: Fury Road, Zodiac, Dunkirk, Lost in Translation, Toy Story 3 and Black Hawk Down. Observers question whether the criticism was provocation, bluster, sincere artistic judgment, or a personal emotional moment.
