    You couldn’t make that movie today…

    Because it was made in 1994 and that’s how the linear progression of time works.

    It’s his fetish, particularly if he can do it in front of Samuel L Jackson. Makes him think he got away with it by saying, “It’s all for the art form”.

    I don’t support violence, but you just KNOW he needs the character-building that only a really solid punch to the face could provide. Backpfeifengesicht, or whatever.

    Probably had a hard time getting him to not say the word “sand” in front of it. Hoping Iran treats him as well as he deserves.

      How do you mean Iran treats him? It appears there was some rumor he was killed by a missile in Israel, but that was false. Is there some other news now?

        No nothing that I’m aware of. I just know he’s a huge zionist living in Israel. So i’m just hoping he gets to experience the kind of morality Israel has shown the world from the other side.

              I went on a bit of a rollercoaster there.

              Quentin Tarantino no longer lives in Israel though, as of last autumn.

              https://www.newarab.com/news/tarantino-moves-london-israel-was-gaza-war-responsible

              He hasn’t addressed the Gaza genocide at all. One would think he’d know, with what films he’s made. I believe in that so much I had a hard time believing you at first, then went to read context.

              And I have a hot take. I think Quentin isn’t really talking politics in that “then I’ll die as a Zionist”, it’s in the context of him refusing to go to a shelter and being asked “what will you do if a bomb hits” and the answer being (probably somewhat jokingly) “then I’ll die as a Zionist”. I can reason this a bit.

              Quentin moved to Israel in 2023 for his wife. And I’m thinking he just does not want to argue with her even if he didn’t agree with all the Israeli bs. Just not worth it to him. One would think a massive director would have an easy time finding a wife, but reading the articles, it wasn’t. So he’s probably being led by his dick in the past few years, and thus hasn’t wanted to argue her wife for fear of losing her.

              When googling Quentin Tarantino Palestine I can see he visited some army bases in Israel, but I’m thinking if her wife is Jewish and maybe connected a bit, that it may have been someone asking her wife to ask him and he can’t say no to her.

              So I’m still not 100% convinced he’s a genocide supporting Zionist fuckface, but also I’m not 100% sure he isn’t one.

              Also happy to take Harvey Weinstein’s money for most of his movies & asking him to apologize when caught assaulting multiple performers. He’s made some good movies but he’s also a creep, an asshole, and a bit of a fucking idiot tool.

    Oh no, people say swearwords in films? I can’t tolerate that, definitely wouldn’t want characters in films to speak like people in real life.

      Have you seen the movie? It’s completely unnecessary and excessive. It adds nothing to the movie.

        Perhaps you’d also want to watch this scene and tell me why the things McNulty and Moreland saying are in any way necessary and how the scene is then so popular. Btw, the series is also packed with the ‘n-word’, particularly in the first season. How come the depiction of valiant police force doesn’t use ‘black fella’ or something instead?

        The whole movie is about being unnecessary and excessive…? That’s pretty literally the title;

        In Finnish the title is translated as “stories from/about violence” (tarinoita väkivallasta)

        Also, it was the 90’s.

        Indeed, unlike all the swearing people do all day every day, which is crucial to their life.

        Tarantino should pare down the speech of his characters to the level of Disney, then it will be entirely appropriate to the plot and completely realistic.

    Tarantino is a Zionist living in Israel, so I find this a bit difficult to swallow.

      Note the subreddit the original image was posted in.

      (The joke is that QT wrote and directed Pulp Fiction.)

    At first I thought that was a stacked washer and dryer in the background. Then I thought they mounted a toilet seat to the wall.

      I know they shoved a watch up Christopher Walken’s arse because he demanded he had to know how it felt so he could truly relate to the character he was playing.

      Method actors. Sheesh.
