Seventeen years after it had been stolen, TMZ quotes police sources saying the vintage ’65 Chevrolet Malibu reappeared on the Oakland premises of a car thief that had been arrested for an unrelated matter. The signature car, featured in Pulp Fiction, was stolen outside Quentin Tarantino‘s house almost two decades ago and it disappeared without a trace. Fans recall the scene where John Travolta‘s Vincent Vega takes Uma Thurman‘s Mia Wallace to Jack Rabbit …

Unbelievable, a news article not about Quentin Tarantino‘s new movie Django Unchained! I know you were expecting an update on the flick from the news source you trust. The thing is, there is not terribly much hard facts to report and we are not much into copying the rumors and tidbits that have been around the web already. For that, we have Twitter and Facebook and you’re totally invited to like our Facebook Page …

Is it November already? Holy shit. The time went by fast. I actually started compiling the material for this update some time in October or even earlier. The idea was to do a quick rundown of links I found on the new that were worth mentioning, among all the stuff that you find in the universe dominated by a search engine that starts with a G. And don’t get me wrong, I don’t want …

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 …

I’m not sure how much Pulp Fiction has really made in terms of dollars, considering the years of TV runs, home video exploits and theatrical special screenings and so on and so forth, but Inglourious Basterds is now officially Quentin Tarantino‘s highest grossing movie ever, if you compare the initial theatrical box office numbers (cf. Boxofficemojo). The numbers are truly impressive and champagne corks must be a-poppin’ in the casa de Tarantino these days, …

Hello out there, high-def owners. While we’re trying to keep our BluRay overview page up-to-date (help us out in case we’re missing something, send us your reviews if you own some discs), High-Def Digest reports that Disney has moved the BluRay Disc releases of Jackie Brown and Pulp Fiction up to August 4 this year. Are they doing that because Inglourious Basterds will hit theaters 2 weeks later? We think so. Anyways, stay tuned …

I hope you had some great holidays, make sure you read our christmas message. It features a really cool picture from the set, and an old fella in a white beard, you know who I’m talking about, are you not?
We’re of course not sleeping with our bellies full of christmas dinners, and so we have two goodies for you, active as we are. First up, there’s a clip of the Charlie Rose show, where …

It’s some sort of a slow week again, in terms of Inglourious Basterds (note that we’re no longer calling it Inglorious Bastards anymore) at least, but that’s not too bad. While I’m busy with school and some Spaghetti Western Database pre-christmas work, and also some issues in the Forum, unfortunately, I’m sure our man from Hollywood is busy up in Berlin yelling “aaaaction” into the ears of Brad Pitt and the other Basterds. We …

I don’t know how many years it has been, but it has been too long a time. I finally rewatched Pulp Fiction again. I did. And for lack of other news, let me share some thoughts with you. After all these years, I’d go as far and say Pulp Fiction wouldn’t have the impact on a new viewer (one who’s never seen it before) than it had back in the 90s. Some scenes are …

A couple of days after we reported that Ennio Morricone is in talks to score Inglourious Basterds, Variety now posts some quotes by ‘il maestro’ about the deal. They quote the master saying that “[Tarantino] has to deliver it by the end of April in time for Cannes [which] doesn’t leave me enough time to do the music. Either I start working on it before he stops shooting — after we discuss it together …

Our friends at The Playlist report that they’ve gotten word that none other than Samuel L. Jackson might/will do the sparse narration in Inglourious Basterds. Sam Jackson! Maybe he will strike down with furious anger those who attempt to destroy the Basterds? Not only that, but apparently Asian goddess Maggie Cheung – who apparently speaks French fluently, thus squaring her hotness – will play Madame Mimieux! (And I thought I’m gonna have a slow …

Happy monday everyone. While I still don’t have a personal broadband connection, at least I found the time to plant myself (“I said plant, plants don’t talk”) in the library and sift through the millions of emails that have gathered up over the last few weeks while I was moving to a new city. For those who don’t know I officially started grad school today, but don’t worry, I’ve said it years ago and …

Empire Magazine‘s latest list termed “500 Greatest Movies of All Time” might be remotely democratic (it is based on a survey), yet it is utterly bizarre if you take the time and flick through the pages to see what movies ranked where. Here’s how Q’s movies did in this bizarrest of bizarre lists: The Bride’s revenge part two, Kill Bill: Volume 2 ranks 423rd; Oliver Stone‘s media satire based on Tarantino’s story, Natural Born …

Words say more than a thousand words. No typo here, I meant what I said, and therefore I will spare you my ramblings and quote Entertainment Weekly: “t’s a low-down dirty tale of L.A. hitmen, palookas, and femmes fatales — and also a time-warping, mind-bending work of movie-mad genius. It’s a feast of ultraviolent thrills — and also a heady pop-literate consideration of surf rock, foot massages, diner culture, and honor among scoundrels. You’d …

If in doubt, consult Anne Thompson, or so a popular proverb might say. With all the jibber-jabber about how long Inglorious Bastards will be, whether it will be split like Kill Bill and how many screenplay revisions there might have been from a gazillion pages to a few hundred pages, well, she writes in her blog that when she talked to him at the Warren Beatty AFI gala (he got the lifetime achievement award, …

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 …
