Join the Reverend inside Pam's Coffy, for his first ever sit down with Mr. Quentin Tarantino, as they discuss the cancellation of "The Movie Critic," the origin of "The Adventure's of Cliff Booth," what his next project is going to be, why "Kill Bill: The Whole Bloody Affair" is still unavailable to the public, the brilliance of the late great Michael Madsen and so much more, including the question he's been dying to ask for over 2 and a half years: "What ever happened to the Untitled TV Series?" This is a must listen for true Tarantino fans.
 

Cliffs of the interesting:

The Movie Critic began as an 8 episode tv show, then he wrote it as a movie. He cancelled it because it was too close to OUATIH aesthetically and he doesn't want to redo something he's already done before.

This is the same reason why he didn't direct the Cliff Booth movie, but is flattered Fincher wants to direct his work. Though he may write a series of Cliff Booth paperbacks.

His next project will be a play in January on the West End in London.
 
Career was a dive after Pulp Fiction imo. Everything seemed over the top for over the top sake.....trying to capture that hype that came from Reservoir Dogs and his magnum opus (and top 3 best movie of the 90s) Pulp Fiction.

Guy blew his load as early as you can as a director imo. Those first two films hold up against almost anybody since though.

I'd rather gouge out my eyes with a spoon than listen to theatrical Quentin talk about anything though.....that voice is painful

Inglorious Basterds had some of his best scenes ever in the interrogation and the basement standoff.
The basement scene is truly masterful cinematography language.
And it was really bold and realistic to use so much non-English dialogue by actors that had native fluency or near-native levels of fluency.

I hated seeing goofy Mike Myers in it, and Eli Roth didn’t look or act the part for me either.

Would have been a better movie with an intense Adam Sandler performance or some other actor for the Bear Jew, the best I can think of in terms of looks and ethnicity would be the guy that plays Sabretooth in those Wolverine movies.
A better “Basterds” cast overall would have been mint but all the best Jew fits weren’t available apparently.

Man, I thought Kill Bill was fantastic, arguably better than Pulp Fiction. Everything post Kill Bill isn’t as good imo, but still great films, Bastrds and Django being the best of those.

I'm not really a fan of Uma Thurman if I'm being honest. In fact, I found her to be the weak spot in Pulp Fiction if I had any critique.

His other films are good for sure, but to me simply don't have that spark his first two did. I have this same feeling about a lot of music/bands. Generally speaking, the first couple entries are raw peak talent and are hard to top. This isn't a rule, but I perceive it prominently.

Edit - Grats on moderator duty too my man, very well deserved. You're one of the great calm posters with excellent diplomacy. What subforums have you been given oversight to?

Thanks man, that’s very kind of you to say. I’m mainly UFC and Worldwide.

The ‘Bear Jew’ was supposed to be an idiot, which is why Roth fit the role and Sandler was considered. It’s the whole ‘subverting expectations’ thing that QT likes to add in his films.

I still need to listen to it, but a series of Cliff Booth paperbacks sounds awesome.

I didn’t like his performance regardless of the nature of the character.
His baseball speech didn’t land for me, and his look was too anachronistic.
 




Pretty wild listening to Tarantino attempt to justify it. But then again there’s entire groups of people that think 12 year olds should be allowed to make the choice to permanently mutilate their bodies to alter their biology without parental consent. So I’m not totally shocked by QT’s take on this.


Remember he knowingly turned a blind eye to Harvey’s behavior as well. QT isn’t going to save anyone.
