He's too busy with his foot fetish.

Isn't he doing a grindhouse double feature thing with Robert Rodriguez? Or is that just someone else's movie he's promoting?

Yeah, I miss his work.


Quentin OTOH I take in doses.
Too much Quentin can make you stupid and give you a craving for katana yielding chicks in jumpsuits.

He's got a new movie co-directed with Robert Rodriguez coming out soon, called Grind House.

Have any of you morons actually looked at Tarantino's history of directing? He's always taken years off in-between films to mess around or do things he's interested in or whatever.

Hell, there was what, 6 years between Jackie Brown and Kill Bill 1?

Any particular reason your response was so harsh?

I think Tarantino isn't that great. Actually, he's kind of crazy, and I think he more a juvenile appeal than anything else.

Well, it didn't actually suck. But for all the hype it of it being directed by QT it was no better than any average ep of CSI.

QT is way overhyped. Not even fit to lick the feet of someone like Kieslowski.

It was noticeably worse than your average CSI ep IMO. But that's just what I thought.

The dialogue in one scene was better though, albeit classic Tarantino.

It's supposed to be two full-length movies. We'll see if the studio lets them keep it that way, but that's how they're describing it.

He was in a brilliant Aussie western called the Proposition last year. Possibly the best western ever made in my opinion. Written by Nick Cave, who also did the soundtrack. Check it out if you haven't already.

You're talking about Guy Pearce, not Guy Ritchie. Different name, different person, same great movie though.

Monique rocks.

Of course, she rocks in her own unique way, but she still rocks. Although not as much as I rock. Because that's just impossible.

Well, whatever. I can't see how a 600 px image could make a scrollbar showup at a decent rez.

(That was the point of the rule, wasn't it?)
