About those Kill Bill Volume 3 stories this week

Sebastian — Thu, 01 Oct 2009 21:05:27 +0000

You’ve probably read them. They’re everywhere. Headlines like “Get ready for Kill Bill Vol.3″ or “Tarantino confirms Vol.3″ etc. Why a I not running this story that way? Because it’s a non story. And I’ll tell you why. For one, Quentin Tarantino has given the exact same comments when asked about Volume 3 he has given years ago. So no change there. Second, it’s a slow-news phase, so blogs will jump on anything non-Basterds ...

Bring on the moustache, Brad Pitt

Sebastian — Mon, 08 Dec 2008 13:00:57 +0000

Monday’s random commentary. While we would never go as far as calling him “Pitt-ler”, as some unfortunate editorial has done, and which we find inappropriate, we do fully support Brad Pitt‘s crusade of bringing back the moustache. Not only are they underappreciated and undeservingly shunned by the mainstream, they are just plainly badass (Magnum, Wyatt Earp, etc). Aldo Raine will go down as a movie character that re-started the moustache as fashionable, and I wholly ...

A good day to bring children to a Tarantino set

Sebastian — Fri, 21 Nov 2008 08:16:08 +0000

What would be a good day to bring little children to a Tarantino film set, you might ask yourself (or probably not, since… why would you ask yourself that, but please let’s just assume you have 20 kids or so). To find an answer, investigative journalists of the most investigative sort have asked a very famous mother. Angelina Jolie, wife of Brad Pitt (yes the one who will bring the mustache back into the ...

Tarantino’s Basterds use water cannons against papparazzi

Sebastian — Sat, 18 Oct 2008 09:36:42 +0000

I always wanted to write this headline. As Welt Online reports, the Inglourious Basterds security crew was using water cannons to fend of curious papparazzi at the current Fort Hahneberg (Spandau, Germany) set, where some sort of execution scene was being filmed. The whole set was of course sealed of hermetically on a wide area, but you know those paps…. they want pictures of Brad no matter what…. Stay tuned. (thanks to David for ...

Weekend news round-up

Sebastian — Sun, 28 Sep 2008 13:07:08 +0000

Not exactly a quiet weekend on the Quentin front. First up, we’ve got some rather lurid gossipy material. A tape recording got leaked to the New York Post, which is essentially a conference call between Harvey Weinstein, Tarantino, Lawrence Bender and third person, that originates from Jackie Brown times concerning a dispute between Robert DeNiro and Tarantino over the salary he would get for playing Louis. The incident was downplayed by the Weinstein and ...

Basterds start training

Sebastian — Thu, 25 Sep 2008 12:23:23 +0000

From what we can gather, rehearsing on Inglorious Basterds started today, after a joint dinner with cast and crew in Berlin yesterday, that was well-received by some paparazzis (we suspect pictures of a drunk Til Schweiger very soon, probably). Reportedly, shooting will begin in the German state of Saxony on October 6th already, in an area called the Elbsandstein mountains (rumor) and production will then move to Babelsberg Studios in Potsdam near Berlin on ...

Quentin Tarantino to attend RNC

Sebastian — Tue, 02 Sep 2008 18:12:22 +0000

Although we have not seen any papparazzi evidence of Quentin Tarantino attending last week’s Democratic National Convention (paps, you suck, where are you when we need you!?), he supposedly was there, and according to US News & World Report, he will also be at this week’s Republican Convention, where the Creative Coalition, an organization QT belongs to, will host a concert. Papparazzis, maybe this time?

Exaggeration alert – Or don’t jump the gun on German film critics

Sebastian — Tue, 19 Aug 2008 16:21:12 +0000

The film isn’t even in the can, it hasn’t even been cast yet, and already there’s a gazillion of websites quoting one (!!) German film critic, or one (!!) article in a respectable German newspaper about how Inglorious Bastards might (!) hurt some feelings among the German public over the film’s likely depiction – and elimination – of Nazis by the hands of Brad Pitt‘s all-Jewish commando unit. The latest bit is in Vulture, ...

Even Variety chimes in on the B.S.

Sebastian — Thu, 07 Aug 2008 13:26:59 +0000

This is a sad week for online journalism. The internet is abuzz with B.S. rumors (stands for Bull Shit and also the initials of a dumbass former popsinger) and everyone just reprints/republishes them without using their brains. From MTV to AICN (which runs the story and an article debunking it at the same time, that’s a new one), thousands of people are reading a totally baseless rumor about Quentin Tarantino remaking Faster Pussycat, Kill, ...

A word on the word “casting”

Sebastian — Wed, 06 Aug 2008 17:16:52 +0000

These days it seems that not many “news” blogs and websites seem to use their brains when it comes to reporting “news” out of Hollywood. Take these rumors that – hold your breath – Britney Spears has been “cast” (I will not dignify that crap with a link, google that bullshit yourselves) in a supposed “remake” of Faster Pussycat, Kill! Kill! that are floating around Google news these days. First of all, people, take ...

Basterds a masterpiece

Sebastian — Sat, 26 Jul 2008 19:03:49 +0000

I love it when I can post news that’s not even news, but just quotable stuff. Hollyscoop for example quotes Quentin on Inglorious Bastards. They ran into our man QT at the premiere of the upcoming Kevin Costner movie Swing Vote and tried to get more information on Inglorious Bastards casting (Brad Pitt and Leonardo DiCaprio are rumored to be in talks, to refresh your memory). “Expect a masterpiece” is the quote I’m happily ...

Tarantino and politics

Sebastian — Mon, 21 Jul 2008 11:49:28 +0000

Who said Quentin Tarantino is not interested in politics? He may have said that once he’s climbing that mountain that is Inglorious Bastards, nothing else mattered, including the election, but according to ShowbizSpy he has booked a seat at this august’s Democratic National Convention in Denver, Colorado. Quentin for president, anyone? Maybe he should be Obama’s secretary of state. Imagine him talking to the Japanese prime minister: “I’ll send the man from Okinawa if ...

Miramax did not buy Inglorious Bastards after all

Sebastian — Mon, 14 Jul 2008 23:28:02 +0000

Rumor control! This week started with a rumor from Scriptgirl that Miramax had bought the rights to Quentin Tarantino‘s much hyped Inglorious Bastards script. Jeffrey Wells at Hollywood Elsewhere sais that’s bullshit, and … it is. Miramax wasn’t even mentioned when news came out that The Weinstein Company was “shopping” the script to the big four studios, just on a sidenote. The movie will be coming out of the cozy lap of The Weinstein ...

Tarantino wants Pitt, why not Brangelina?

Sebastian — Mon, 14 Jul 2008 16:16:17 +0000

The only substiantial casting rumor that comes out of the Inglorious Bastards rumor mills these days is Brad Pitt. And if you believe the tabloids, our man Quentin is flying into France to meet the new father of two twins to try and convince him. I would go a step further and cast the whole Brangelina package, because if you cast Brad, we’ll all have to bring our girlfriends to see Inglorious Bastards because ...

Tarantino courts the pussycats

Sebastian — Mon, 30 Jun 2008 14:46:38 +0000

There they are again, the rumors that cry to be controlled. But you never know. For almost a year now there have been rumors that Quentin Tarantino wants to do a remake of Faster Pussycat, Kill! Kill! the Russ Meyer classic that’s even been archived by the Library of Congress, probably because of all the big boobs that are just irresistible. Apparently, or allegedly, let’s put it that way, Quentin wants Tera Patrick, a ...

A small world

Sebastian — Sat, 28 Jun 2008 15:34:07 +0000

I will let you in on a very badly kept secret. I get the weirdest emails on a daily basis. Don’t get me wrong, I love getting emails, and in fact I’d love to get one from YOU right now, seriously. The weird stuff I get though, are the sheer endless requests for Mr Tarantino’s email address, the requests begging me please to forward this or that great script or movie idea, the awesome ...

Tarantino’s father makes a western

Sebastian — Wed, 04 Jun 2008 14:56:24 +0000

Quentin Tarantino’s relationship with his father Tony Tarantino has been subject to tabloid coverage for a long time, and Quentin is not particularly keen on talking about this, and probably understandably so. While some have expressed interest in seeing father (in this case really just the biological one, and that’s as far as the relationship really goes) and son collaborate on screen, the whole affair is really not worth talking about. But we don’t ...
