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".

    • My understanding is the "free event" is 100% Gala, nothing to do with the council. Obviously Gala will still make money from the food & drink that they are trying to coerce punters into buying on their social media posts. Their costs will be negligible due to already having the infrastructure in place for Gala. So Gala are trying to appear community minded by providing this "free event", but the real goal is to set a precedent for a fourth day's festival - which surely no one could possibly object to?!? - in preparation for applying (again) for two three-day festivals spread over two weekends. It's only another two days, right, and the site & equipment is already there, so why would anyone object?!? More money for the council, much more money for Gala, win-win right? But yet another week of our park taken away from us, too, and another 18,000 people trampling & littering the park, and another week of disturbance for the native birds & wildlife...
    • Meson Don Felipe on The Cut was my go to place for many years. Though it's now many years since I was there. 10-15 minute walk from the Tate. If you go can you tell me what it's like nowadays?
    • Doubt you would have got much change out of £150.00 for battery and certainly having forked out for it, best to use your car. I recently sold  my car via webuyanycar.com - very pleasant experience & was roughly what I was expecting. Pop your bangers reg jnto their website to get an idea of price - they do send e mails once a fortnight/month just as an aid for you. Easy enough to delete - don’t even have to read valuation. They literally buy any car - if you can’t get it to them, they will charge you to get it there or recommend a co that will do it for you. Must say, mine was a 2014 reg and whilst a bit suspicious, paid extra to get money into my account as needed it for next car but was assured funds had I not gone down route I took would be in my account within 5 days. I now live in the country - every time I have been back to Dulwich and surrounding area, normally get a fine for driving at wrong time or parking at  wrong time so if I drive now, park in West or East Dulwich and do everything else by public transport and walking.  Were I still to be living in ED then before I left was pondering this very issue but since I have been back regularly for health reason I no longer drive but take the train and then buses, walk or Uber. Much cheaper than running a car and had I stayed, that would have been the course I would have taken. I don’t go out everyday, have an allotment or job to go to or family so in my case, would be cheaper not to have a car.  Was truely shocked   at the cost of second hand cars…..but where I now live only has a smattering of buses so no choice but to have wheels to get from A to B etc.          
    • If you don't use the car often then suggest disconnect the battery between use by undoing the earth (negative / minus sign) cable from the battery and the battery will then last longer between use. Remember, central locking, alarm, clock, etc won't work with battery disconnected and wit ours I have to lock the doors with central locking before disconnecting battery as only have key on one door (leave bonnet open before locking doors). Hope this helps
