THE Inglourious Basterds fan page on social networking platform Facebook (a project of The Quentin Tarantino Archives of course) has just hit 1,000 fans (or ‘basterds’).  Why am I posting this? Coz that went pretty fast, didn’t it (for the record, our Hell Ride fan page already has over 1,100 fans!)? I’m also posting this because there are a few other such pages on Facebook – Some of them claim to be “official” (which …

As you may have noticed, the website was unavailable for more than 12 hours. I am very sorry for that, I have no idea what caused this problem, but at least we’re back now. I’m trying to find out what happened to make sure it won’t happen again. Again, my apologies, I’ll make it up by posting something cool tomorrow! – Sebastian

UPDATE: Dear readers. The Quentin Tarantino Archives have enjoyed a technical upgrade within the last few hours. If you had problems surfing our websites during that time, we apologize. Huge changes were made on the back-end side and that comes with minor problems and is normal. If you encounter any errors or problems, please send us an email and let us now. I’m happy to report that the QTA are way faster than before …

If you’re new to the QTA, then you might not know that until a few months back, this website looked considerably different, and it had looked that way for many many years. A side-effect of our little relaunch was, that none of our older news were conserved. But they’re not lost. I’m currently working on including all news articles/posts into this Frontpage, far back into 2002. In the left column, after the news …

The year 2008 is almost over and we’re speculating already about the movies that will define 2009. Inglourious Basterds will certainly be among the movies that will cause big headlines. Not only is it a WW2 movie, it also has an ensemble cast and is directed by Quentin Tarantino. It’s not yet clear whether the film will be ready on time for the Cannes Film Festival, but there are several signs that indicate the …

Dear readers, christmas is approaching fast, and even though in the previous years we had some sort of “shopping guide” for you, this year I’ll just point you to our BluRay movies list, which is essentially a page with all the Tarantino movies on BluRay so far. If you’re looking for something awesome to put under your christmas tree, look no further, you BluRay owners really have lots of opportunities this year. Please also, …

Dear readers, as most of you might know, “the internet” looks slightly different depending on which computer you are using, what size your screen is, and so on and so forth. The most decisive factor in how a website is displayed on your computer or device, is the web browser. Most modern web browsers accomplish this task fairly well, and the majority of our visitors use one of them. However, a small minority of …

I’m very proud to say that our Official Facebook group already reached the 400 member count. Incidentally, the 400th member is also a fellow German. I’d interpret this number as a sign that many fans of this website use Facebook’s social networking potential and like to show their support for on-line movie communities there as well. We also run an official group for The Deuce and one for the Spaghetti Western Database, if you …

A few of might have noticed that the QTA and its sister projects are experiencing some very long loading times all across our pages. This is mainly due to the rapidly rising popularity of our Inglorious Bastards content, but is really only an appetizer of what’s coming later this and the following months. We apologize for the inconvenience, but there is not much we can do unless we purchase a hardware upgrade with money …

Ever since we migrated The Quentin Tarantino Archives‘ actual Archives (the core of this website, when you click The Archives up top in the little tabs), finding information on films, soundtracks or other things has become both easier and complicated at the same time. Easier, because all the mighty knowledge of Tarantino.info lies at your fingertips and searching The Archives usually will bring you gigabytes of knowledge, but complicated because The Archives are separated …

There will be something in my mail next week which I can only describe as “aw cute”. It is a T-shirt designed by artist Blair Sayer that features characters from Quentin Tarantino’s movies as children on a playground. Not only do I think that is more original than some of those rather anti-Tarantino ones you find on shirt stores sometimes (the ones about violence and all that stuff), it also looks great. Those kiddies …

After The Dirty Dozen was released in 1967, it was a big smash in Europe and it soon spawned a whole bunch of remakes by Italian directors. In the late 70s, Italian master director Enzo G. Castellari did his own spin on the “men on a mission” film with Quel Maledetto Treno Blindatto aka The Inglorious Bastards. Being an incredible stylist of cinema, Il Maestro Castellari brought a wild, raucous vision of war to …

When we launched THE DEUCE: GRINDHOUSE CINEMA DATABASE last year, we knew it was going to be a tough endeavor. A range of films that exceeds the scope of the Spaghetti Western Database, a lack of time and energy that could be devoted, numerous technical obstacles and and uphill battle for visitors and contributors. But now our baby is a year old and me and Pete Roberts, who’s your “projeccionista” at The Deuce, are …

This goes out to all the spaghetti western lovers out there, Quentin Tarantino himself included, who missed out on one of the greatest set of movie screenings ever conceived by man (in this case Mr Team League). The Rolling Roadshow Leone Edition 2008 brought Sergio Leone’s so-called Dollar Trilogy to the outskirts of Almeria, Spain where these three movies were shown to an enthusiastic crowd of the greatest people on a huge blow-up screen, …

Dear fans and readers. The Quentin Tarantino Archives’ redesign went without major screw-ups, as you can see (please report any technical problems you have. there are a few things we need to fix, but we’re working on it), and we’re rockin’ and rollin’ now. This weekend, we have also completely redesigned our latest sister website, The Deuce (www.grindhousedatabase.com), which should fulfill all your exploitation film needs. You just have to check it out, it …

Actually this is a blog, too, but I want to keep this as much news-related as possible. But The Quentin Tarantino Archives has a real blog as well. One, that goes beyond and below news, dives into gossip, does commentary, or just generally banters… and mostly that’s just me writing. But I plan on improving it as I get more feedback on it. And when I know people read it, it might motivate me …
