nah...rather see him direct an episode of Joan of Arcadia

And the episode features a crazy man who claims to be god running in and out of fast food restaurants shooting up people....and here's the kicker..HE REALLY IS GOD!!!!!...And thus, yeah bloodbath! - - - George, The 7th Chicken!!!!

I mean four movies in thirteen damn years (Kill Bill was one movie, just splin in two), plus what, a segment in Four rooms and one days shooting on Sin City, and an episode of ER, just how fucking lazy is that. Get off your lazy fat ass, quit with the bullshit double talk and actually work on bringing us some new films to watch Tarantino.

Well I don't know about you guys, but I'm psyched. Who's with me? By the way, Jacko, it's not his responsibility to bestow movies upon you. Never understood that "gimme gimme" mentality.

It will be 30 minutes of slow exposition then 15 minutes of solving the case set to funk. Samuel L Jackson will play the huggy bear type pimp who dies at the end of the show, the last part of which is shown at the start. He'll get some obscure actor who used to be somebody in the 70s to play someone cool, or maybe someone from old kung fu movies from the 70s.. Maybe Chuck Norris could get a gig playing the assassin... "Inglorious Bastards", wow Q really pulled out the thesaurus on that one.....aaaaanyway.. CAN'T WAIT!
-
Well, Ribbo, he's a film maker, or at least that's what he professes to be, so it's not unreasonable to expect him to actually make films, especially considereing all the empty promises the man makes about various project, most of which end up being nothing but talk. I'm not one of the gimme gimmies, the man can do what he wants, but if he isn't interested in regularly making new films then he should stop talking up so many damn projects all the time.

by noriko takaya
That would be interesting. "Lost" would rock too.

That would RULE!!!!! I swear, that show seemed so shit when it first started, but the characters have developed excellently, and now the cast have tghis amazing ensemble thing going on. I saw an episode with Isaac Hayes in it last week - it was great! Anyhoo, what Tarantino should really do is get back to making decent things, whether they are for TV or cinema. Kill Bill 1 & 2 was a seriously flawed piece of work. I don't get how, on the interviews in the bonus features on the Vol 2 DVD, he talks about the reaction to Kill Bill 2, and is just sooooooooooo disingenuous it's just not true! He says something like "well, some critics think it's really neat and are talking about how I'm being much more ambitious visually, and trying all sorts of different cinematic methods to change the look of the film, but some critics are saying 'no, we want more of Quentin's dialogue'" Quentin - THE TWO ARE NOT MUTUALLY EXCLUSIVEReservoir Dogs and Pulp Fiction both presented an absolute feast for the eyes, and had scintillating dialogue to back them up. Kill Bill was a mess - if that script had turned up the desk of a reader at ANY studio in the entire world, it would have been unceromoniously dumped in the garbage. Doesn't matter how good you make it look - films are much more thean that. The Cell is visually a pretty amazing film, but 5 years after it came out, does anybody really care about it? The Pai Mei sequence is the only decent thing about Vol 2. Sorry, but it's true.

He should direct the last ever episode of Enterprise.
by regicidal_maniac
No-holds-barred, anything goes, only one of these characters will be left standing by the end.
-
And I can't for QT's next movie which should come out in about seven years. That ugly basdard!
-
I want to see the sreies finale of the Sopranos turn into a Tarintino-esque bloodbath set to Sinatra music and poor quality film. He would rock New Jersey if he directed the Sopranos.

Green Lantern and Hawkgirl go to a dance contest and Batman wants to know if there's a sign outside Wayne Manor that says "Dead Martian Storage".

It disgusts me to see directors get so fucking lazy" signed James Cameron and Terrence Malick.
Seriously though Quentin - Forty Lashes Minus One? Modesty Blaise? Casino Royale? Where dey at? -
...a thousand American dollars out of my own pocket to get Quentin into rehab and then back on the circuit as a script doctor. He was always a much better writer than anything else, but years of coke-addled indulgence have even stripped him of that talent. He needs to clean up and get back to making characters in other people's movies more relatable for a while. Then maybe he can go back to directing and do something that isn't a completely disjointed mess like his last two-and-a-half movies (three-and-a-half if you count Kill Bill as two).

it never ceases to be entertaining, and despite its predictability and lack of substance, it's still pretty damn cool. can't wait to see what tarantino does with it, though it will likely seem way out of place among the other installments of this show.

I've enjoyed Tarantino's body of work so far, but Jack's right, the man has done very little work over the past decade. Instead of wasting time on directing these little vanity projects for others, he should be hard at work writing his own screenplays and then directing his own films.
-
and why taurantino limit himself by directing TV that has so many constrictions on what you can do.
-
I'm not a huge fan of "CSI," but I understand why so many people watch it. The characters seem paper thin to me, and the show seems to lack any serious artistic spark. I respect the blood and guts scenes, but those are few and far between. If QT directs an episode, I hope it involves a mafia murder followed by a CSI internal affairs investigation followed by a gunfighting bloodbath. That would get my attention.
-
That's one reason to watch it :)
-
can't this man just retire already?
-
I had read that he smoked a huge amount of pot (which might explain his slow creative output), but I had never heard that he was addicted to cocaine. That really doesn't make any sense.
-
I have loved every QT-directed movie except Kill Bill 2. When it came out, I heard so much about how it was waaay better than KB1, which I loved, then KB2 was such a let down. Reservoir Dogs, Pulp Fiction and Jackie Brown are all top-notch, and Kill Bill as one movie would probably have been a classic as well. No problem with QT directing some TV show, but who cares? I'd rather see another movie. Won't make me watch CSI or any other show I don't watch just cause he's directing.
-
Seriously, did anybody watch the crap-tactular episode of "E.R." he "directed?"
-
...just watch the Special Features on Pulp Fiction and Kill Bill (and pretty much anywhere else). He's got all the classic signs. That's not to say he doesn't enjoy pipe weed as well (I know plenty of folks who dig both), but he's coked to the gills during the intros to the deleted scenes on Pulp and during his relation of the story about how he got the band for the Bride/Crazy 88s fight scene in Bill(I suppose it could also have been meth, but he's doing a lot of sniffling during the Pulp segments). QT is wholly responsible for one of my all-time favorite films (Reservoir Dogs) and is really the genius behind another (True Romance) and I've enjoyed his work as a script doctor on other films (leaping to mind is Crimson Tide), but coke does nasty things to creative types, especially when they already tend toward megolamania. He needs a time out and a reboot.
-
Damn, was hoping he'll direct an episodeof Sopranos uncut.
-
Call me a troll if you want, but Tarantino's a mightily overrated hack.

Could we PLEASE have a moratorium on QT smackdowns from here on
by wonder man
At least until he actually perpetuates a fuckup that's deserving of one? But I'm sick and fucking tired of people whaling on Quentin just for the sport of it. The fact is, like or not, when the man emerged in the early 1990s, he wrote stunning dialogue and directed crime drama like no-one else, thus providing a breath of fresh air to modern audiences (someone that could merge arthouses and the masses had been largely missing since the early 1980s) and igniting the flickering flame that was American Independent Cinema. At the time, he was what cinema needed, and -- for better or worse -- the media canonised him for it. He is undeniably a man of gargantuan talent and endless enthusiasm; for that alone, he is worth having around. A filmmaker that wears his love for real cinema -- good, bad AND ugly -- on his sleeve is good for the game. He alone is worth 100 of these direct-from-the-womb, special-effects-obsessed, music video jerkwads who believe cinema started and ended with Star Wars that have been breeding in California for the last 20 years. He's a genuine moviemaker, someone that takes you on a journey every single time. But, no, let's all jizz ourselves over Elektra or National Treasure or Troy or Fantastic Four whatever other ridiculous, bloated, plotless, no-way-but-straight-ahead, paint-by-numbers, CGI-distored mess that gets crapped our way. A few more things: 1) Quentin, like any other filmmaker, can make films whenever the hell he feels like it. Four & a quarter flicks in 13 years is hardly Terrence Malick, guys. Hell, The Great Kubrick made only 13 pictures in four and a half decades. Would you rather he pump out one a year until he reaches eventual total self-replication, parody and decline, as in the sad fate of former genius Woody Allen? Or just grab whatever he can get his hands on and become a hack for hire, like that idiot Ratner? Or become a superproducer's bitch like that skull-fuck Michael Bay? Fact is, MORE filmmakers should take more time in between films... might actually get them thinking aboyt what they're unleashing upon the world. (We might get less "Terminal"s and more "Thin Red Line"s. Hey, I'm an idealist.) Why does nobody get on Cameron's back (no film since 1997)? Or Francis Coppola (also 1997)? Or David Fincher (2002)? Or David Lynch (2001)? 2) I can't presume to know how Tarantino spends his personal time, but calling him "coke addled" is pretty slanderous. As for Childe Roland's "justification", well, ya know, some people just talk fast... and some people are just excitable and some people have sinus conditions. You sound like Kramer in the "Sniffing Accountant" episode of Seinfeld. What's next, you gonna bust in on Quentin while he's in the can for a shot of him snorting? With due respect, you're drawing a long bow there, man. 3) Why does Quentin draw such ire? Haven't we had promising directors who've fucked up MUCH worse (you all seem to forget that Ridley Scott made Legend, 1492 & GI Jane; that Shyamalan's last two films have sucked balls; that Bryan Singer fucked up can't-miss material with Apt Pupil; that QT's good friend Robert Rodriguez better throw a big touchdown with Sin City, since he hasn't made a film worth mentioning since the thrillingly psycho From Dusk Till Dawn waaaaay back in very early '96 -- hmmm, who wrote THAT one again)? The point is, I believe he's kept up his end of the bargain. The hype the man was showered with post-Fiction was a once-per-decade event and would've crushed most filmmakers. He's simply kept doing what he loves doing, and is doing it well. Jackie Brown, for all its overlength, contained his most beautiful character work yet. Kill Bill 1&2 was an epic unlike any other in American cinema history; a bold, ballsy and ballistic epic melange of Eastern and Western action films that refuses to be tied down to one set of genre rules -- a film that, for all its blood and feverish violence, featured a distaff group of actors delivering career-best performances, every single one. A blazingly confident touchdown drive from the most admired and reviled cinematic quarterback of the last decade and a half, to remind us that he's still around, still creative, and -- love him or hate him -- still worth discussing. So leave him the fuck alone and kick someone else around for a change. Oh, and my two cents on the TV thing: Frankly, I wish he were having a shot at "Lost". I thought that'd be a natural fit, given his previous association with Abrams. Hell, let him write an episode too. Now THAT would be a trip.

by monkey_king
Trouble is we dig his films and they are entertaining(his intention), but many people don't "get" his love for 'old school' and 'kung fu films' and good storytelling(his heartache).
Oh well, jeep pumping them out Quentin. Hit me up about my film pitch. -
...I have to reiterate, I love, love, LOVE QT's early work, particularly as a screenwriter and, at least for his first two films, as a director. I have never seen him toot a line, but I have seen plenty of others do it and the way QT looks acts and speaks during the special features on Pulp and Bill is a dead on impression of these also otherwise talented and brilliant people. I'm not attempting to slander the man, I want to give him a slap and tell him to get back to doing what he did best... writing character driven stories with fantastic dialogue. If he's not snorting, then he's just lost it and I would hate for that to be the truth. If it's Coke, then there's hope that he can clean himself up and be great again. I prefer to believe that based on what I've seen. I'm sorry if that fucks with anyone's image of the man/icon, but if you don't think he could be snoritng Coke and a lot of it (or that it might affect the quality of his work), you're being pretty naive.
-
For not mentioning 'Deadwood.' The characters are already in place. QT could direct the poop our of one of these episodes, altho the show is already so good...well anyway, it'd be a helluva opportunity for him. He could infuse a little Leone into it. That'd be something I'd go bananas for.
-
should be able to make any thing he wants to,its his life and career, it hacks me off when people winge that a Director is,nt making what YOU want.Oh and JackBurton when does your piece of cinema history come out.
