We need the current female equivalent of Bruce Lee and this woman if we're going to do an all female remake of Game of Death, perhaps Quentin Tarantino can direct.

Does Quentin have hairplugs??

He reminds me of Quentin Tarantino.

Just me?

He forgot to tell them to deliver all their dialog doing a Quentin Tarantino impression.

I like the discussions, but don't lose your heads now.

Quentin had the same weird fit when he was interviewed on NPR. I'm sure he's got good reasons for doing the things that he does, but he always get all crazy and uncomfortable describing the reasons. I don't know, maybe he's doing drugs or deep down he knows that things are way over his head.

He's not comfortable revealing himself out in public, yet he's constantly out there revealing his private self and gets an anxiety attack each time he is asked a private question. It's Quentin's job to know his way around this charade. He's in charge of his own reigns. You can't blame every jokester out there who shoves a microphone to your face if you've agreed to be a public figure making internationally well known movies.

The interviewer is no champion of journalism, that's not his job. He's just some douche with well connected parents to have made it that far up the social ladder to have a seat on Channel4-BBC. Emotional interviews by public figures like these are amusing to watch, and that's exactly what the interviewers want. Amusement translates into ratings quite nicely.

If he's not feeling comfortable getting the same questions over and over, just prepare an answer for them that would satisfy them. Or stop revealing your real self that gets you uncomfortable in the first place. It's all games, gotta play it well.

Agreed, it was clear that the interviewer was steamed about violence and slavery and wanted to finally be the reporter who actually got Quentin Tarantino to say "you're right, I'm the reason black guys worked for white guys two hundred years ago and everyone shoots each other today".

Tarantino is under no obligation to answer any questions posed to him by anybody, I'm surprised by the number of people who are defending this douche of a reporter who decided it would be a good idea to throw a moral tantrum during a promotional interview.

Though no demagogue, Quentin was refusing to answer because...career. That he already answered the question is a red herring. Directors who are "selling" their movies are used to answering the same damn questions ad nauseum to interviewers because film media asks the same questions (sometimes given the same list) so they can show themselves answering those questions.

I don't know Tarantino's stance on the topic.
Kudos to the news interviewer for asking and pressing.
Boos to Tarantino for dodging it. You form opinions, buddy. So be prepared to give some when you get a mic and air time. Again. And again.

Violence, death and danger raises the stakes of a narrative and triggers the production of adrenaline in the minds of the viewer. Our ancient ancestors got the same rush by outrunning a grizzly bear. Luckily, we can tap into this brain narcotic with much less risk.

There are films that do seem to pointlessly revel in gore and suffering, most notably Saw 1-26, but Quentin certainly isn't guilty of this kind of torture porn. Steven Spielberg killed at least as many Nazis in Raiders of the Lost Ark as Quentin killed racist confederates in Django, but Spielberg never gets criticized for it. The violence in both films serve the dual purposes of making the bad guys really bad, and making the catharsis of revenge in the end really good.

Violence in media is a reflection of violence in culture, not the other way around. Quentin didn't dream up slavery, lynchings, torture, mutilation and the other types of racial violence in his film. That stuff really happened.

And to Spike Lee: Django blowing racists to hell with TNT is how Tarrentino deals with race in cinema. Mookie tossing a garbage can through the front window of Sal's pizzaria is how you deal with race in cinema. Both are great films with the same perspective on race done in completely different styles. Get over yourself. If you want to criticize a film about race directed by a white guy, do 'Crash', that movie was a patronizing pile of shit.
