Inglorious Bastards? You Bastard! by georges garvaren	Apr 5th, 2007 06:16:08 PM
Please, QT. Just a nugget of information. I'll be your best friend. Promise.
Machete full feature! by Bobo_Vision	Apr 5th, 2007 06:17:46 PM

Rudy... by TheRealMoriarty	Apr 5th, 2007 06:25:24 PM
... that's just plain crazy. You're so incredibly wrong about that I don't know where to start. That's just the lame indie rock pose where fans only like the first few things because they felt like it was still a secret, and they hate their heroes the minute they accomplish any degree of success.
^ somebody gotta be startin' sumpthin..... by Puddleglum	Apr 5th, 2007 06:26:33 PM
get it on!
Bastards by sHapesHiftinLizard	Apr 5th, 2007 06:28:41 PM
will dare and the devil may care. I loved eagles dare like a f***in parachute jump into beer volcanoes, please do a 3hr war movie QT that dont let up, thats what this little pussy wants, nay demands.
Jakie Brown, Every Goddamn Time. by georges garvaren	Apr 5th, 2007 06:31:27 PM
It's the best. Maybe not the coolest, but a solid film, and it's going to stand the test of time. Or not, that's the thing about these discussions.
Make by sHapesHiftinLizard	Apr 5th, 2007 06:38:34 PM
IgBastards, it will be the one, forget all those bozos who think you need to 'grow up', shamba dextrus, you grew up a looong time ago and found your voice b4 many monkeys QT, you can do any type of movie you want, we the fans know this , that is why we love all yr s*** and own all the s/tracks/dvds,..do it do it do it do it,..youve been writing it... good..now do it!
Hey Mori...just out of curiosity.. by Bobo_Vision	Apr 5th, 2007 06:51:46 PM
Is my 'Disturbia' review not post-able because of the fact that I walked out half way through the movie? LOL! Actually, I considered enduring the full movie just so I could submit a complete review to the site...but it wasn't worth it.
YO MORI, LAST I CHECKED... by Napolean Solo	Apr 5th, 2007 06:53:12 PM
...The UK was classed as 'International' right? Do you happen to know if we're going to get the split version or the 'original' double feature? If we get the lame-ass split, I'm going to kill the first old lady I see... for no good reason!!!!! I need an answer Mori...
Now we need Neil Cumpston to come in here to critique by Lando Griffin	Apr 5th, 2007 06:54:40 PM
MiraJeffs interview and throw a fit like a whiney bitch and question why it was posted where it was posted. Then the circle shall be complete.
I Get It--It's Like They're Gay by PotSmokinAlien	Apr 5th, 2007 07:11:36 PM
mori that intro was down around merrick's level, you can do better
Neil Cumpston by BloodStaind	Apr 5th, 2007 08:22:26 PM
hire him...now.
Nah, Moriarty ... Rudy's right. by holyguacamole	Apr 5th, 2007 08:31:37 PM
I think it’s inherent in humans to own a creative spirit. It takes geniuses (like QT) to tap into it, articulate it, and actually ‘create’. But creativity exists only in varying degrees. QT was able to get his ‘out’ with his early 2 masterpieces. It’s not disrespectful to say that his well has run dry – most people never even begin drilling! Just like George Lucas, Francis Coppola, even Alfred Hitchcock …. at some point the geniuses can’t hit the same note that erupted from them early - back when they had something original inside. QT is in this category. And that’s OK. We still love what he does – it’s just not the same.
I Completely Disagree... by TheRealMoriarty	Apr 5th, 2007 08:36:28 PM
... and I think DEATH PROOF is one of the most significant things he's done. He's nowhere close to finished. He's just not making the same film over and over, and that's what confounds his "fans."
I think what confounds his fans ... by holyguacamole	Apr 5th, 2007 08:52:15 PM
... is more complex. They don't want the same movie over and over, just the same emotional experience. They want an 'OH ... MY ... G-G-G...' feeling again. And his recent WILDLY ENTERTAINING films are just that ... but only that. I'm not being critical here - just saying that it's OK to say QT isn't what he was when he blew our minds years ago. Currently, he's really, really great. But back then, he was GREATNESS. BTW Moriarty - keep up the good work - and THANKS!
Where is Mori's Review by THE KNIGHT	Apr 5th, 2007 09:05:34 PM
am I missing something here?
lol Lando... by mr ahole ramirez	Apr 5th, 2007 09:50:03 PM
...that was the first thing I thought bout when I seen MiraJeff's name...but I doubt Neil will do it cuz he's a fagment of our imagination...
gotta agree... by jimmy rabbitte	Apr 5th, 2007 09:52:19 PM
...with Moriarty... I thought the Kill Bills were a natural progression in QT's film making, and I loved them as much as Dogs or Pulp... maybe more. I'm looking forward to Grindhouse.
a circle jerk by watashiwadare	Apr 5th, 2007 10:57:03 PM
all the wanking ... you still have to pay 9 bucks to wank to your idol if you're an ordinary audience person. Personally I think you should find fresher wank material.
Always working it by Dwarves	Apr 6th, 2007 12:48:17 AM
One thing you can't argue with is both of these directors willingness to try new things. They don't get pigeonholed into a genre and they do this work as much for themselves as they do for their fans… I’m sure the paycheck isn't bad either.
Jackie Brown by topaz4206	Apr 6th, 2007 12:59:20 AM
Jackie Brown is my favorite QT film (His 4th if you count Four Rooms). So I guess the "he's already shot his load" theory doesn't really work for me either.
You guys are nuts. by Zarles	Apr 6th, 2007 01:20:27 AM
My four favorite Quentin movies from first place to fourth are Kill Bill, Jackie Brown, Pulp Fiction, and Reservoir Dogs. Notice anything about that ordering? I do. QT gets better and better with every single film he makes, and to say he's run dry on talent and imagination is ludicrous. I'm sure I'll see (or at least hear) most of you dipshits at the movies tomorrow night, and I'm also sure you'll be sitting directly behind me, bitching about every little thing you can get your puny little heads around.
jackie brown is a masterpiece. by maluquiro	Apr 6th, 2007 02:47:07 AM
it's beautiful.
Inglorious Bastards... by DocBosch	Apr 6th, 2007 03:16:38 AM
...will be QTs next, and it will be made for TV. On Charlie Rose, QT said, while talking about how Inglorious Bastards is next, that he'd been writing it as a novel, and it wasn't until now that he figured out how to shoot it like a novel. In this interview, speaking about TV, he says that it's great that the DVD sets allow people to watch them like they read novels. This all points to Inglorious Bastards being developed as a miniseries.
Planet Terror missing reel... by DocBosch	Apr 6th, 2007 03:20:00 AM
At the SXSW panel, RR said he neither wrote nor shot the missing reel footage. The script was written with that part missing. So I wonder if this means he's going to go back and do re-shoots to "recover" the missing footage. And the Deathproof "missing reel" definitely needs to be "found". Vanessa Ferlito has easily became my favorite thing ever.
you gotta read QTs parts out loud as fast as you can... by Seph_J	Apr 6th, 2007 03:36:50 AM
...otherwise it doesn't work.
ROBBED ZOMBIE by The Real MiraJeff	Apr 6th, 2007 03:37:42 AM
Step into the ring with an angry German who's triceps are bigger than your biceps. Go ahead. I dare you. Bash me all you want, but leave QT out of this. Quentin has a larger than life personality and his enthusiasm is infectious. He could get me excited for an According to Jim marathon. You have no clue what you are talking about.
MiraJeff sucks by Daddylonghead	Apr 6th, 2007 03:54:26 AM
that's what I'm talkin' about. Actually this was a pretty good interview, informative and interesting.
Re: Deathproof missing reel by Bobo_Vision	Apr 6th, 2007 04:29:17 AM
Watch the trailer to Grindhouse, and you'll see that that reel very much exists...
Send neil out to do interveiws! Nothing against by kinghenryVIII	Apr 6th, 2007 07:23:45 AM
MiraJeff but the world needs neil to interveiw peeps, mostly THESE GUYS. get the kid on payroll for Pete's sake. I could just imagine the questions that would come out of his mouth. Not to mention the fact that QT and RR would be rolling in their seats. I towuld be like Triumph the Dog on speed. I am going to see this but this missing reel shit, I'm not too keen on it. I'm tired of the double dipping DVD's, extended footage bs, and so forth .... But I'm a sucka and will slap down the $$ and have a great time.
...Neil cant do interviews... by mr ahole ramirez	Apr 6th, 2007 09:35:52 AM
...cuz he doesnt exist (well he still could do interviews, but the interviewee would have to sign paperwork sayin they were interviewed by "Neil")...but MiraJeff on the other hand, we seen pictures and footage of him gettin his ass kicked, and he even posts in the TBs...but Neil, nope...it would take 1 hour for Neil to post in a TB because he would have to change every noun, verb, adjective around just so it can be "Neilizied"...it just takes to much work at bein Neil (look at his Grindhouse review)...
"or some shit like that" by Zarles	Apr 6th, 2007 03:32:03 PM
Indeed. You must be a writer.
JB is his real masterpiece. by BitterMan23	Apr 6th, 2007 03:39:39 PM
I actually would rather rewatch Pulp because it's more 'fun', for lack of a better word, but JB is completely perfect.
you all have forgotten by PotSmokinAlien	Apr 6th, 2007 04:36:35 PM
that pulp fiction isnt just some movie that QT made in order to make something that everyone would think was cool. jackie brown's great, but just because pulp fiction is the obvious choice for his best movie doesnt' mean that it isnt
keep trying mirajeff... but by PotSmokinAlien	Apr 6th, 2007 04:40:23 PM
"what were the challenges involved in making grindhouse." "how/why do you write women so well, QT." you sit down with these two legends and this softball bullshit is the best you can muster? im surprised you didn't ask RR how his latin heritage figures into the movies he makes
MAYBE YOU'RE RIGHT by The Real MiraJeff	Apr 6th, 2007 06:18:19 PM
Alien, but I wasn't exactly looking to play hardball. I was lucky to be granted the interview at all. What'd you want me to do, take Jeff Wells' advice and start asking Robert about his divorce from producer Elizabeth Avellan and his off-camera relationship with Rose? Leave that stuff to the tabloids. I just wanted a good conversation with an idol of mine. I know I have to maintain some semblance of professionalism, but try meeting your idol and not being nervous/excited. It'd be the equivalent of interviewing Michael Jordan and asking about his gambling problems and his divorce and his failure as a baseball star. Softball or not, at least I got to play ball with two of the most unique directors of the past two decades.
Hey I saw Wait Until Dark too by CherryValance	Apr 6th, 2007 07:10:49 PM
Don't ask me what I did with the Playbill. Cool interview.
Glad to See Jackie Brown getting love.. by playahatersball	Apr 7th, 2007 08:20:48 AM
A totally unapreciated classic, by far QT's most mature work to date. Saw Grindhouse yesterday with my wife at the shittiest, oldest theatre we could find (conviniently, my brother is manager there, so free popcorn). We were both smiling ear to ear through the whole thing. It was an absolute blast. Anyone who calls themselves film geeks and doesn't enjoy this movie should go back to the dorm at their filmschool, and continue jerking off to the Bicycle Theif and Dersu Uzula. Remember film students- if you have a good time at the movies, the movie wasn't any good.
Rodriguez's first masterpiece by Buck Swoop	Apr 7th, 2007 08:08:24 PM
is there a second i dunno but the first is called Roadracers and why the F isn't it on DVD!
QT and BSG by Cobbio	Apr 8th, 2007 08:18:22 AM
Thanks for the interview, MiraJeff. Great questions, answers, and energy. Fun to read. I'm fired up to see "Grindhouse" this afternoon. Also, someone please contact Ron Moore and tell him Quentin wants to direct an episode of "Battlestar Galactica." After seeing Quentin's work on "CSI," and how he elevated his two-parter into the most intense and twisted episode of "CSI" ever, I can only imagine what he might do with BSG. Bring him on board (if at all possible), Ron, and make it a two-parter. Oh, man!
Fuck. EVERYBODY's watching Galactica! by Killah_Mate	Apr 9th, 2007 02:40:49 PM
Really warms the heart of this old time BSG fan (though by "old time" I mean "since the miniseries", not "since the 70s" :)) I'm not sure what I think about QT directing it. I suppose Moore would keep him on a tight leash, and the publicity wouldn't hurt. I guess it could be cool.
