There’s obviously no denying that Quentin Tarantino is a die-hard movie nerd. His encyclopedic knowledge of obscure films can put most experts and historians to shame, and he’s made a career out of fashioning his own movies from bits and pieces of others. Nonetheless, every man has his limits. Judging by his recently-posted Official Top...
