In Kill Bill 2, at the end, exposition is given that the little girl barefoot stomped a goldfish. That really creeped me the gently caress out.

The movie would have been better if it was just the story about how Shoshanna Dreyfuss gets her revenge on Hans Landa by blowing up a theater he's trapped in while gloating to his face that she's the one who killed him.

she didn't get revenge on him, personally, but helped gently caress up the people who sent him

He survived the movie theater fire right? Somebody in a white coat jumps out on fire, and he's gotta be around to have kids that end up showing up in other QT movies.

I really do feel the film would have worked better as a 12 hour miniseries.

I mean, it's well known if you know stuff about Tarantino's films how he struggled with the script for years, and it went from being a novel to a film to a miniseries and back again, and in the end, it was a film, yet despite the title, the film's much more about Waltz and Laurent's characters than the titular "Basterds." In some ways, it was before it's time. Nowadays with the likes of say, Amazon Prime or Netflix or something, you could let all the material breathe properly. And considering the issues of these days, it would be even more apt.

It was definitely a good thing that Tarantino couldn't cast Adam Sandler as Donny (the Bear Jew), though. I think it would have just been too distracting unless they really tweaked his features and he altered his voice.

I like Basterds' use of languages, long buildups of tension, pipe smoking, and macro shots of desserts so it's probably my favorite entry in QT's "what if history's monsters were foiled with gratuitous violence" collection, but Jackie Brown is still #1 out of the current nine. Reasons it's the best:

• Lead character is a multi-dimensional black woman in her early 40s - almost unheard of in 90s Hollywood.
• First Tarantino movie where we don't have white characters dropping N-bombs. Jimmie's kitchen rant at Jules is harder to watch than the Black Swan hangnail scene.
• No genital trauma (Jackie threatens Ordell with it but the situation is defused). Every other movie from Pulp Fiction onward features some guy getting his junk obliterated.

Yeah I hold IB and JB as his best works. Jackie Brown also wasn’t original; it’s an Elmore Leonard novel.

One thing I like about Once Upon a Time in Hollywood not a lot of people pick up on is when the Manson Family shows up in the piece of poo poo Ford outside Sharon Tate’s house, shots of the car mimic shots from Christine, and Rick Dalton comes out of his house and calls it a “mechanical rear end in a top hat.” I love that line from Christine :)

Yup! Sandler was busy making a different film at the time, that's why he turned it down.

When news broke early last year that Quentin Tarantino had cajoled Uma Thurman into driving an unsafe car during the filming of Kill Bill which resulted in a crash, the director called it “the biggest regret of his life”. Soon after, reports came out that he had spat on Thurman during filming and had choked her in one scene, as well as strangling Diane Kruger in a scene in Inglourious Basterds. The question now is: is it time to cancel Quentin Tarantino?

His latest film, Once Upon a Time … in Hollywood, has provoked considerable unease as it takes on the gruesome subject of the murder of Sharon Tate, among others, by the Manson “family” in 1969. His interest in savage violence against woman is, if we look back, a common thread in almost all his films.

In Tarantino’s debut directorial feature, Reservoir Dogs, the only female characters in the credits are “Shot Woman” and “Shocked Woman”. Pulp Fiction, his second film, features female characters more prominently, but a trend of revelling in the abuse of women began to emerge. One of Pulp Fiction’s most famous scenes involves Uma Thurman’s character getting stabbed in the heart with a shot of adrenaline to resuscitate her after a drug overdose. (Though it’s fair to say male characters were also subjected to extreme violence.)

The Kill Bill films were a cinematic orgy of onscreen violence, most of it directed at Thurman: her character is severely beaten throughout and buried alive. Daryl Hannah’s character Elle Driver doesn’t fare much better – she has both her eyes pulled out. Things reached a peak with Tarantino’s 2015 western The Hateful Eight: Jennifer Jason Leigh’s character is handcuffed to a corpse and beaten and tortured throughout the film.

The question remains whether we should continue to indulge the director’s fondness for piling abuse on women, particularly in light of his own admission of acting out scenes of physical violence towards his female actors, even if he claims it is in pursuit of the perfect shot.

One of the characters in Once Upon a Time … in Hollywood is Tate’s husband, Roman Polanski. Early last year, soon after Tarantino got into hot water over the revelations of his on-set behaviour, an audio recording emerged from a 2003 interview in which he said that he didn’t think that Polanski’s sexual assault of a 13-year-old girl in 1977 should have been classified as rape. Tarantino said she was “down with it” and that Polanski “had sex with a minor. That’s not rape.”

At the time it led to widespread condemnation, but after Once Upon a Time … in Hollywood premiered in the Cannes film festival in May, the calls to “cancel” him have died down. The next film might be different, and we might see a more contrite Tarantino, but we have to ask whether we should bother to find out the answer?

:hehe:

I read somewhere that this scene was originally a lot longer than what's in the final cut, and several people had to talk him in to trimming it down.
