No end in sight, my friends, Basterds is going wild in Japan. Check out this article, Tarantino returns to grind up Nazis<\/a> in the Japan Times and a 3-star\u00a0 review<\/a> in the same paper. What’s even more interesting, is Quentin’s role in a Japanese commercial for the SoftBank cellular company (Examiner<\/a>). Quentin plays Uncle Tara-Chan in what is actually a commercial-series called the “White Family”. Preview clips have already surfaced on the net and can be seen for example in this article at the Hollywood Reporter<\/a>. Our least-favorite newspaper The Guardian of course had to negatively rant on<\/a> about this.<\/p>\n

Some more random stuff you need to check out: By the way, how cool is this “Say TWEET again!” tee shirt<\/a>? And how cool is it that Tarantino will be present at the Academy’s Governors Awards<\/a> where among other things an honorary Oscar will go to Roger Corman? And how cool is this story about Chris Waltz and Sally Menke<\/a>? Sally being of course Quentin’s long-time editor, who got an award for her work recently (click here to read a great interview with her!<\/a>). The beautiful and smart Melanie Laurent answers some questions in a nice interview you can read here<\/a>. Inglourious Basterds, papers report, might not even get released in one of Tarantino’s favorite places, the Philippines, if an industry dispute there isn’t settled (source<\/a>). That of course hasn’t stopped the movie from making over 300 million dollars worldwide now, and counting! That’s a bingo! And yes, we’ve heard those stories about a Basterds sequel\/prequel<\/a>, but unlike most outlets, we actually read the quotes and when there’s really nothing new to report, then there just isn’t. Did you know Quentin is a fan of Echo and the Bunnymen (yeah I had no idea that band existed, either), but check it out right here<\/a>. And there’s a little piece on Tarantino and cars<\/a> you shouldn’t miss.<\/p>\n

UPDATE<\/strong><\/p>\n

Tarantino at the Governor’s awards (source<\/a>)<\/p>\n

Honoring Corman, Quentin Tarantino added, “is a dream come true. Only Roger would make ‘The Raven’ a comedy. Roger was the original maverick,” he said while showing clips of Corman’s films based on Edgar Allan Poe works.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
