Once my husband was at a party with Robert Rodriguez and he was telling him how much he loved his films and then he noticed Tarantino was standing with Rodriguez and said “oh…and your movies are…good too.”

I love hearing that story! Though I bet Rodriguez was awesome because he's a gem: dude spends so much of his interviews talking about his influences, the talent, the staff, & culture. Hard to get him to just talk about himself even when he's showing off his low rider bicycle collection.
Dude did a whole thing at a comic con Q&A about his collection once that turned into historical car culture for poor PoC taking cool detours, brought in the Zoot Suit Riot, American Graffiti vs. Quadrephenia, mods vs. rockers. It was like a love letter to every influence he had for the hobby.
Bruce Lee notably had a lot of criticism for traditional Kung fu and other martial arts for not training full contact like boxing. He was probably one of the most legit fighting humans to walk the Earth, so of course Quentin is like "psh! Nawww!"

Oh, what I wouldn't give to see the look on his face after that line.
This being the Tarantino who mocked Bruce Lee 😂
