content: I was just having a discussion with my brother about this.  There are directors who are considered "auteur" who each bring a different, yet obsessive skill set to their films that make them unique.  Tarantino's skill set is character development and violence.  He's only on that list because there is a certain subset of people who love violent film.  He also knew about Harvey Weinstein for 20 years and he's married to an Israeli.
