Skip Woods = Q. Tarantino?

Okay, now I know that this is a popular opinion on this board, but I just couldn't help but notice all the Pulp Fiction references in this movie. Here are some of the ones I remember.
1) The way the characters speak
2) The whole "I need to clean my house before my wife gets home" part
3) The story about how Ballpean broke the guy's arm
4) Excessive use of the "N" word
5) The way Casey acted in this movie was almost completely identical to Travolta's character
Now don't get me wrong, I'm not complaining. PF is one of my favourite movies of all time, so I was glad to see something very similar to it. It's such a shame that this movie got overlooked, however I do feel happy about being one of the few people that had the honor of viewing this work of art.

The movie is a ripoff of Tarantino films. Skip Woods is NOT Tarantino.

In this (extremely negative) review of the film, Roger Ebert rips into Skip Woods, having questioned him aggressively

Given Ebert met the man face to face, you;d think he would remark on his true identity if that were the case/

There's also a photo of him in this newspaper article which is clearly not Tarantino
