It makes me wonder what was agreed in advance concerning the parameters of the interview. For example, if C4 was told in advance that violence in films was off-limits and Tarantino was subsequently ambushed, then fair play to him. Otherwise I think the question was completely valid, given how much violence there is in his movies, and his rant was childish.

it may not have been discussed beforehand, but a "valid" question, or one that has been asked in almost every interview ever since he first released a film (and impagine how many times that is)


Is there a new angle he could possibly take or was it just a fairly predictable and boring question


As it happens I thought given the amount of noise around the interview, both of them came out with some credit, and Tarantino had nothing like the meltdown I had read about

He sounded brattish and twattish.


If it's a question he's been asked many times before, then it shouldn't have come as a surprise, and shouldn't warrant such an unfathomable response. The oddly juvenile trash talk ("I'm shutting your butt down") was embarrassing - who the hell talks like that, let alone someone who's famed for awesome dialogue?


Anyway, I think he's a massive knobber, and overrated to boot. And his face makes me want to punch it. At least Hitchcock had the good grace not to try his hand at acting in his cameos.

"He sounded brattish and twattish."


well, nothing new there then


"oddly juvenile trash talk "


ditto


but I still think the whole incident is way overplayed. Maybe he expected a question like that from, say, This Morning and expected less hackneyed from C4. Maybe


Most likely he had a hissy fit because like any human being sometimes the treadmill is just too much at the end of another day. he didn't storm out or anything. He just got a bit pissy.


Storm in a teacup to me

Are people still falling for the stream of unmitigated derived shite that QT produces ?


its fucking awful, sneery, smartarse, nasty vacuous shite consumed by people who really should know better*




* I havent seen this blates but you dont need to eat a dog shit sandwich to know its going to taste bad

That's one I haven't seen, as it goes.


RE hissy fit, at the time I quite enjoyed the 'bollocks to you and your crap question, Krish' approach, but on reflection, in the current climate, 'bollocks to you and your crap question - for reasons x y and z' might have been a better response.


With regard to The N Word controversy, I think we have to assume that Quentin uses TNW a lot because Quentin just likes the N word.. a lot. He likes it so much, it wouldn't surprise me if choosing this genre is simply a ruse to use the N word even more. Claiming its use in the film is for authenticity? Well, I haven't seen the film yet, but I suspect, on the whole, it's not exactly going to be like some sort of authentic document of the era, is it?

How you can make a film about slavery in the South and not use TNW? I re watched 'Roots" the other day and I was amazed by how kitsch it all looked. I am not sure that movie ages particularly well, and I fear like Kill Bill, Django might end up looking a bit silly. The accents certainly are. I compare it to a Tennessee Williams' play, where the southern drawl seems mercurial, switching from a whimsical playfulness to something brandished menacingly, like a knife.




But I think the interesting thing is that Django, also seems derivative ( not really much of an accusation when dealing with Tarantino) of this film . Interestingly, the Mondo series faced a lot of controversy and were accused of being racists. The twist is that, Tarantino has done something very similar and some liberals are defending this work.

here is Big Daddy in a Tennesee play.

I liked the whole "Grindhouse" release he did with Robert Rodriguez - particularly the fake trailers like "Werewolf Women of the SS" and "Machete" (which got a life of its own when it was later made into a real exploitation genre film).


Loved his explanation of Uma Thurman's dancing in PF being inspired by the ZsaZsa Gabor character in Disney's "The Aristocats".

    • It’s not great, but this only happens when a business is in trouble and is facing bankruptcy. The landlords are free to say no. The restructuring will often then have to be approved by a High Court judge, so it’s not a total gun-to-the head. It does upset landlords quite a bit though, because if the business does go under, they’ll likely not see any pay out. So they often feel under pressure to comply. 
    • "Sitting around doing job related things". Do you mean sitting and doing their jobs? "have you had your COVID jabs?" Perhaps instead of spending your time on here insulting other posters, in this case me, you would be more effectively employed contacting the practice management with a detailed description of exactly what you say you saw and when. And then see what they say. You have made a lot of assumptions with presumably absolutely no idea what those people's jobs are or when their break times are. I am not defending the practice, which seems to have some problems  I just don't like seeing people who aren't here to defend themselves being publicly attacked by someone who apparently doesn't actually know what those people were doing and why.
    • Relatively recently, they employed a couple of young people on front desk work they were excellent. I don’t know if they’re still there. And yes, they may be doing something on their computers that’s important but when you see  people queuing and no one appearing for many minutes the system seems inefficient.  Some simple changes could make a big difference.  But those changes would have to come from management rather than individual workers choosing to jump up and help. 
    • I'm happy not seeing a GP face to face.  I had WhatsApp video appointments a couple of years ago,which ended up with me being rightly sent to Tommies A and E.  I see nurses from time to time at TJ, I always have a good laugh with both them and the blood test people.  I see the practice nurse at FH from time to time and it feels like visiting an old friend. I'm not sure whether social media has made us a more negative nation, or it just feels this way due to some of you who post on this forum.  The majority of posts in ED matters and on the transport thread are complaints  How would you define lazy and useless?  There is a spectrum of productivity, and of customer service.  Some excel at one or both, but I'm not sure at what point workers drop below an acceptable level.  When I am unhappy I will complain to an organisation. Some respond better than others.  One of my first posts over a decade was to complain about a local shop.  It's a funny anecdote which is essentially a "Ok you don't want my money so I'll go and spend many 100s of pounds at a different company" but I regret not dealing directly with the shop rather than getting pointless revenge many years later.  Still won't use the shop though.
