Quentin Tarantino- Does violence overshadow narrative in his films?

Quentin Tarantino is one of the biggest and most successful directors in today's crowded film industry, yet he is often just associated with violence and controversy. With rich, complex narratives in many of the films he's directed, do these aspects often get overlooked by the violent and explicit aspects of his films, thus deterring audiences from watching them?

The value of Stop Motion animation

Stop motion techniques have been used in films dating back as far as 1898, being the only way of achieving certain effects until the introduction of CGI in the 1960s. In the original King Kong (1933) stop motion was used along with real special effects to create King Kong himself, as the digital technologies we see today in films didn't exist. Whilst the effects don't stand up to the realistic CGI seen in the more recent King Kong (2005) there is more of a sense of authenticity in the original film which perhaps can't be seen as much in today's films.
