Filmmakers and musicians having a “credit score”

I often think about writers and filmmakers and musicians having a “credit score” with my bureau. The currency is the amount of faith I have that a certain project will be great or even good. Some creators rate so low that if the currency were actual money, I won’t loan them $50 if they left behind a $100 bill as collateral. Whereas the Coen Brothers could tell me “Our next movie is going to be a static, 90-minute shot of a bowl of Cheerios getting soggier and soggier over time” and I’d still mark Opening Day on my calendar.


So says Andy Ihnatko.

He's right. This is how I feel about Tarantino. I can't imagine him ever making a bad movie. I sometimes worry that I'm blindly accepting of anything that he does, but really, is that such a bad thing?
