Who’s a Basterd?

Sebastian — Sat, 27 Feb 2010 16:05:48 +0000

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 ...

Cannes – The Day After

Sebastian — Thu, 21 May 2009 10:01:40 +0000

What a night it must have been at the Inglourious Basterds premiere. Just to give you a few impressions, here’s a few things you can look at: a) Pictures from the premiere red carpet event, see Tarantino dance! b) Part 1 and 2 of the press conference (some pictures) c) another feature on the premiere with the red carpet arrivals and Quentin Tarantino‘s crazy dance! Even though reviews so far were sort of mixed, ...

“over that mountain to see all the other mountains” – more Tarantino Cannes interviews

Sebastian — Mon, 18 May 2009 21:07:28 +0000

Suspense is increasing. Wednesday morning will be the first time Inglourious Basterds will be shown to insiders, critics and others, and Wednesday night will be the big premiere. The Hollywood Reporter, not exactly this website’s favorite source of movie news by the way (but neither is Variety), scored a pretty nice interview with our auteur where he talks a bit about the movie and what it means to him, and how Cannes is such ...

“He gave me my movie back”

Sebastian — Mon, 18 May 2009 14:39:05 +0000

There’s a bit on Inglourious Basterds on Variety today where Quentin talks a little about some of his feelings and expectations towards this week’s world premiere of his WW2 epic. Not only does he reemphasize how central the Landa character was for the fate of this project, he also puts Cannes in its rightful place as a festival where auteurs can come with their works and receive both the recognition and the critical evaluation ...

Of Klansmen, Basterds and Nazis – QT chats with the NYT

Sebastian — Sun, 10 May 2009 14:18:57 +0000

Today’s issue of The New York Times has the full article (available online here, a must-read) about Inglourious Basterds, which in parts had already circulated earlier, as the date on the article suggests. As The Playlist points out (thanks for the heads up), one of the more interesting blurbs emanating from that piece is a quote of Quentin Tarantino saying he has a possible sequel to Inglourious Basterds ready should that turn out successful. ...

Hope we can believe in – Tarantino talks Kill Bill redux

Sebastian — Mon, 19 Jan 2009 16:59:43 +0000

Not all hope is lost my friends. After Quentin Tarantino revealed his top 20 favorites both in the Spaghetti Western and in the grindhouse genre (“That grindhouse list made me start coming up with mine! But it’s a good list…there’s a lot of films that … are on here.” he said), I started asking some long nagging questions. I felt as the ambassador of the fan community, I should ask what is going on ...

Tarantino’s Senoritas #1 – Mary Elizabeth Winstead

Sebastian — Sun, 31 Aug 2008 11:00:18 +0000

I don’t know where Joblo found this picture (maybe it’s photoshopped) to the right, but I thought it was worth blogging about it. I thought Mary Elizabeth Winstead was a fresh delight in Death Proof and a nice discovery for Hollywood in general. She has a very charming personality and that little something. I think she’s gonna make it far, and I don’t mean playing McLane’s daughter in Die Hard 4 or anything like ...

Exclusive interview with Larry Bishop on Hell Ride

Sebastian — Mon, 14 Jul 2008 22:54:18 +0000

When you’re dealing with a movie that subscribes to “bikes, beer and booty”, anyone who likes a good fun flick gets excited. In this case, Hell Ride, directed by Larry Bishop, offers more than just that. A bunch of rowdy bikers, Dennis Hopper and Michael Madsen at the helm, some really sexy ladies, booze and some spaghetti western tunes. If you haven’t seen the trailer, do it now, because then we’ve got Larry Bishop ...

AFI’s top 10: Tarantino on gangster movies

Sebastian — Tue, 24 Jun 2008 22:33:49 +0000

Unfortunately, what you can watch here is a really really short bit of Quentin talking about American gangster movies. AFI’s Top 10 films, which aired on CBS this weekend, has been criticised as overly one-sided, but then again, it’s the American Film Institute, and not an international organization. See Quentin talk below, and while you’re on YouTube, check out Quentin talk about Italian director Uberto Lenzi, composers and Planet Terror, and then subscribe to ...

As promised, although delayed, we are continuing our series of Grindhouse interviews. This weekend, enjoy reading through our exclusive interview with Mary Elizabeth Winstead. Currently in theaters as John McClane’s daughter in Live Free or Die Hard, she actually plays another actress, Lee, in Death Proof…..

Still rocking. Grindhouse kicking ass right now at The Quentin Tarantino Archives, and we’re bringing you another interview transcript from the Grindhouse cast… This time, smokin’ hot Sydney Tamiia Poitier (yeah the one with the hot legs). I sat down with her, while she had her striking hair done and asked her a few questions, from Quentin’s foot fetish, over her taste for music down to the point where she loses her leg…. tragic. ...

Grind House exclusive part 6: The Quentin Tarantino interview (Vol 1)

Sebastian — Sat, 31 Mar 2007 16:40:41 +0000

This website started, in some form or another, back in 1999. Ever since then, The Quentin Tarantino Archives was committed to provide everything there is to know about Quentin Tarantino. And there is still work ahead. While the mostly one-man-show that is www.tarantino.info is heavily into pre-release Grindhouse buzz and the message boards are running wild, after what the movie advertisings refer to as a roaring rampage of revenge, we finally got the chance ...

Just to get your appetite up, the next interview will be the much anticipated conversation with Quentin Tarantino. In the meantime…. Sebastian: So you’ve seen the movie already? Rose: I have. I saw it two nights ago. I loved it and I can’t wait to go back because I hid my face so many times during filming. Robert was sitting next to ...
