I Facebooked those Basterds

Sebastian — Wed, 04 Mar 2009 16:17:15 +0000

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 ...

And we’re back

Sebastian — Fri, 23 Jan 2009 14:08:18 +0000

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

We’re back!

Sebastian — Fri, 16 Jan 2009 14:55:07 +0000

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 ...

Just to let you know

Sebastian — Sat, 10 Jan 2009 13:11:11 +0000

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 ...

Basterds a summer blockbuster?

Sebastian — Wed, 31 Dec 2008 11:20:37 +0000

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 ...

Tarantino BluRay Christmas Madness

Sebastian — Tue, 09 Dec 2008 18:57:14 +0000

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, ...

Important technical announcement

Sebastian — Fri, 05 Dec 2008 13:50:39 +0000

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 ...

Yes We Can

Sebastian — Sat, 22 Nov 2008 18:17:36 +0000

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 ...

Why this website is so slow right now

Sebastian — Tue, 30 Sep 2008 19:03:09 +0000

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 ...

Search The Quentin Tarantino Archives with Google

Sebastian — Sat, 30 Aug 2008 14:23:12 +0000

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 ...

Those cute Tarantino babies

Sebastian — Thu, 21 Aug 2008 22:27:36 +0000

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 ...

On a sidenote, our Facebook group just reached the magic 100, so if you’re on facebook, check out our Facebook group. And to al those who get to see Hell Ride tonight, I’m so damn jealous!

Inglorious Bastards DVD review

Peter — Thu, 24 Jul 2008 09:46:44 +0000

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 ...

The Deuce is a year old!

Sebastian — Fri, 18 Jul 2008 15:42:54 +0000

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 ...

Rolling Roadshow Leone Edition coverage online

Sebastian — Tue, 24 Jun 2008 10:43:26 +0000

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.

You just have to check it out, it ...

Did you know we blog?

Sebastian — Fri, 02 May 2008 09:52:07 +0000

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 ...

While nobody was paying attention, and the world’s eyes were fixated on the tremendous success of The Spaghetti Western Database, the creators of this very website have been staying up all night and working on what will turn out to be the last ever visual and conceptual overhaul of The Quentin Tarantino Archives. In only a few hours, you will see the new version of The Quentin Tarantino Archives (you’ll notice a “v2008″ at ...

In the name of everyone involved with The Quentin Tarantino Archives, and its sister sites The Spaghetti Western Database and The Deuce, I want to wish you all happy holidays. The last weeks and months have seen lots of changes (the last only occured last night when we made major improvements to THE ARCHIVES/wiki and we overhauled The Deuce’s forums and gave it its own web adress), and once again, we can all celebrate ...

Focus on: The music in Tarantino’s films

Sebastian — Sun, 02 Sep 2007 13:02:04 +0000

Someone was kind enough to post a link in our message boards (generally always a good idea, by the way) and point my attention to a really cool music blog called Aquarium Drunkard (weird name, but great blog). They have a series called Soundtrack Enthusiast, and one of their most recent entries is about Tarantino’s soundtrack, specifically the female contributions. Head over to their site (LINK ) and check it out, they offer a ...
