After a much-hyped nomination month, stars took to the red carpet last night for the Golden Globes, awarded by the Hollywood Foreign Press Association. Django Unchained was nominated in several categories, and as the Globes are sometimes considered a precursor to the Oscars, the mood was tense and hopeful. The Globes are a mainly TV event, and don’t drag on as much as the Academy Awards.
Without further ado, the first Globe went to Christoph …

Quentin Tarantino‘s latest cinema epic Django Unchained described as a “dark, bloody nightmarish tale of revenge” (but also as a love story), is currently being promoted at what is easily the geekiest annual event ever created: the San Diego Comic Con. This fan festival is a wonderland of displays and live panels for enthusiasts of comic books, movies and television. QT also happens to be a huge geek for super heroes, just watch any …

Things yesterday got pretty exciting when ET’s preview for tonight’s airing came out, the first moving pictures from Quentin Tarantino‘s upcoming ‘magnum opus’ (that’s latin, google it you Basterds) Django Unchained. And now ladies and gents, prepare once again to have your socks blown off by the grandmaster Q, because this new official full trailer (not even a mere taser) at over 2 minutes runtime, surely manages to please.
It was intended to make its …

Entertainment Weekly broke the first official still images from Quentin Tarantino‘s spaghetti-infused slavery revenge epic “southern” Django Unchained. One image shows Leonardo di Caprio as a hammer-wielding Calvin Candie, the other shows bounty hunter Dr. Schultz played by Christoph Waltz, as well as the titular Django, played by Jamie Foxx, a blend “between Shaft and Clint Eastwood”, as he describes. Django is looking to recover his wife Broomhilda (played by Kerry Washington, currently sending …

I really like Kevin Costner. There is way too much bashing of this guy going around the internet (which is why I wrote an article called In Praise of Kevin Costner, read it), so I am positively surprised that Deadline reports he is in talks to play a real meanie in Quentin Tarantino‘s upcoming southern Django Unchained. According to Fleming, he is tapped to play Ace Woody, a really sadist SOB training slaves to …

An Oscar for the Jew Hunter

What an evening. Hopes were high, excitement big. Inglourious Basterds was nominated for 8 Academy Awards, and each of them well deserved. The evening started out with no surprise neither: Christoph Waltz took home the golden statuette for his role as Col Hans Landa of the SS. A great speech. But the rest of the evening was a series of disappointments, when it turned out that Christoph’s would be the only Oscar the Basterds …

Who’s a Basterd?

Inglourious Basterds (read 10 facts about the films here) winning big at the Academy Awards is still little over a week away (read here why it will win), but Monsieur Tarantino is making some space on his bookshelf for the little Oscar fella (even though in an interview he says he things Ms Bigelow should win the best director award), I’m very sure. Christoph Waltz has so many awards for his role as Hans …

A Good Month to be a Tarantino Fan

Have you ever wondered what it would look like if Quentin Tarantino directed the Super Bowl (which the Saints so glouriously won yesterday; for the record: The Who rocked the fucking house)? Probably not! But still, check out this video (link).
If you’re in Hollywood, always be on the look out for really nice stuff  like this down at the Egyptian theater…
Iconoclastic filmmaker Quentin Tarantino, hot off earning Oscar nominations Tuesday for best director …

Basterds take home only one Golden Globe

But it goes to the Jewhunter. Christoph Walz continues his amazing series of awards and takes home the trophy. Basterds lost out in the director, movie and screenplay categories. We think Avatar should have only allowed to compete in the animated film category. Yes the lines are blurred as technology advances, but as impressive and entertaining Avatar was, with that amount of money and that technology, it’s pretty much not surprising or exceptional. There’s …

Closer to Oscars, Basterds collects

As we’re deep into the Oscars season, speculation heats about about Inglourious Basterds‘ chances of taking home one or more of the shiny little golden oscar statues. The Academy has increased the number of nominees from 5 to 10, which makes things a little more complicated, and absent a blockbuster that would unanimously be considered “the thing” (think a movie along the lines of Forrest Gump, which snatched it from Pulp Fiction in ’95, …
