Not even Pulp Fiction ? As a person I've always thought he was a bit of a dick but he has made some good films
I went to see Reservoir Dogs in 91 or 92 at the cinema that was where the bingo place is now near the Admiral of Humber- fantastic, saw Inglorious Basterds at cinema too 17 or 18 years later and another great film. It's a shame that journos/news editors have to push this violence in films angle, I mean what are they going to do cancel most of the films that have been made from Dirty Harry on?The violence is there whether you have video games or films. I get why he was pissed off especially if it sounded like it was being asked in a repetitive and snide way.
Nup. I personally thought a few people said it was good and everyone else daren't disagree. Total Emperor's new clothes.
He is a good director, I always like his movies but recently he said he wanted to be remembered as this century's mark twain. He clearly has an inflated view of himself.
Jackie Brown is my favourite followed by Pulp Fiction. Didn't think that much to Reservoir Dogs apart from Tim Roth's performance.
I think that Guru-Murphy was a little misguided, treating it like a serious political interview rather than a bit of film promotion.
It's about time someone took the piss out of those cosmetic promotional interviews that are just glorified commercials. Trouble is people are too dummed down these days to know when they're being patronised.
It's not just him though is it, most directors, actors & actresses have an inflated ego and swan about as if they own the place. They all have their little outbursts- remember Christian Bale going ape **** at one of the workmen on the set of Batman because he moved about during a take. Ok that was a little more extreme than Tarantino's case, but it's bad. Another talking point in the cinemas is the bafta nominations, and the fact none of the top flims nominated are actually out in British cinemas yet. I haven't been to the pictures in ages so i'll probably wait for them to come on tv.
clip works for me. he's not into our british way of questioning, he just wants to talk "holywood trash" style in his interviews. he's a twat because he says he's dealing for the first time with a serious issue - slavery - but refuses to deal with another serious issue - violence in society - and the possible effect movies like his might have on viewers. sure, plug your film but at least be man enough to discuss the issues.
1. Pulp Fiction 2. Reservoir Dogs 3. Kill Bill I'm also in a minority in thinking Death Proof was decent enough. First time I watched it, thought it was crap. But with repeated viewings it's grown on me. The Planet Terror twin to it was utter ****e however. TBH, I like Quentin - he's obviously completely mental but the enthusiasm he shows for his work is brilliant.
Surley he deals with serious issues like drugs, racism, violence in society in most of his films. He puts them in because they're so prevalent in modern life and there's no point putting your head in the sand about it. To be fair i'd rather watch his take on it than some of the moralistic, "holier than than thou" ****e. People whinge about them because he deals with them in an entertaining fashion. If it was some ex Heroin addict harping on about his addiction, it would be dull.
it was terminator salvation if your gonna do a tarintoino thread you HAVE to get your movie references spot on
I agree with the prima-donna comments no excuse for that, but like was said comes with the territory with successful actor/director types as thats how they get their films made. I had a copy of the Pulp Fiction screenplay years ago and it was pure gold, probably get it free online these days. As for the films I thought he went a bit off the boil with Jackie Brown and the Kill Bills but Inglorious Basterds was tremendous and also under-rated I think. My favourites are 1. Inglorious Basterds. 2 Reservoir Dogs. 3 Pulp Fiction. I also liked the first Hostel film he produced.
