Tarantino has never been short on chutzpah, but counting his films does have some significance.
And two, counting his films means he has an ending in mind, that the clock is ticking.
In recent years, Tarantino has told reporters that he plans to direct 10 films and then retire.

Thats just how Tarantino likes it.
What do you want your last two statements to be?
How do you want to wrap up your persona for future generations?
But he doesnt want to bethatguy.
Almost to the man, most directors actually think they have more time than they do, Tarantino says.
But its a lie.What do you want to do [right now]?
Tarantino isnt planning to disappear, like some cinematic J.D.
In fact, he looks forward to a post-film career where he writes novels and contributes to film criticism.
But what if his life and his priorities were to change?
What if he were to become a father?
Could you imagine Tarantino writing a Pixar film?
And I was thinking about ita lot.
And that was very moving.
But that fever has passed.
I had baby fever, and the fever broke.
