You couldn't make that movie today...

Because it was made in 1994 and that's how the linear progression of time works.

[-] 3rdXthecharm@lemmy.ml 15 points 1 week ago

I mean, we're not making Casablanca!

[-] WhyIHateTheInternet@lemmy.world 17 points 1 week ago

Good, someone else already made that.

If we did remake it, it would have to have Peter Dinklage in it (if you know, you know).

"No... Don't.... Stop..."

[-] zerobot@lemmy.wtf 23 points 1 week ago

the director told me to suck your feet

[-] ivanafterall@lemmy.world 17 points 1 week ago

I don't support violence, but you just KNOW he needs the character-building that only a really solid punch to the face could provide. Backpfeifengesicht, or whatever.

[-] Quetzalcutlass@lemmy.world 10 points 1 week ago

I'd say a kick to the face but he'd probably enjoy that.

[-] finallymadeanaccount@lemmy.world 15 points 1 week ago

It's his fetish, particularly if he can do it in front of Samuel L Jackson. Makes him think he got away with it by saying, "It's all for the art form".

[-] AdolfSchmitler@lemmy.world 15 points 1 week ago

That's like getting a handjob from your boss at work when you're self-employed working from home.

[-] underisk@lemmy.ml 14 points 1 week ago

Probably had a hard time getting him to not say the word “sand” in front of it. Hoping Iran treats him as well as he deserves.

[-] jaybone@lemmy.zip 6 points 1 week ago

How do you mean Iran treats him? It appears there was some rumor he was killed by a missile in Israel, but that was false. Is there some other news now?

[-] underisk@lemmy.ml 16 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago)

No nothing that I'm aware of. I just know he's a huge zionist living in Israel. So i'm just hoping he gets to experience the kind of morality Israel has shown the world from the other side.

[-] underisk@lemmy.ml 22 points 1 week ago

He told his wife if the missiles kill him he'll "die as a zionist" interpret that however you like.

[-] whotookkarl@lemmy.dbzer0.com 11 points 1 week ago

Also happy to take Harvey Weinstein's money for most of his movies & asking him to apologize when caught assaulting multiple performers. He's made some good movies but he's also a creep, an asshole, and a bit of a fucking idiot tool.

[-] humanspiral@lemmy.ca 4 points 1 week ago

well his garage does have a dead zionazi storage sign on it.

[-] Dasus@lemmy.world 3 points 1 week ago

I went on a bit of a rollercoaster there.

Quentin Tarantino no longer lives in Israel though, as of last autumn.

https://www.newarab.com/news/tarantino-moves-london-israel-was-gaza-war-responsible

He hasn't addressed the Gaza genocide at all. One would think he'd know, with what films he's made. I believe in that so much I had a hard time believing you at first, then went to read context.

And I have a hot take. I think Quentin isn't really talking politics in that "then I'll die as a Zionist", it's in the context of him refusing to go to a shelter and being asked "what will you do if a bomb hits" and the answer being (probably somewhat jokingly) "then I'll die as a Zionist". I can reason this a bit.

Quentin moved to Israel in 2023 for his wife. And I'm thinking he just does not want to argue with her even if he didn't agree with all the Israeli bs. Just not worth it to him. One would think a massive director would have an easy time finding a wife, but reading the articles, it wasn't. So he's probably being led by his dick in the past few years, and thus hasn't wanted to argue her wife for fear of losing her.

When googling Quentin Tarantino Palestine I can see he visited some army bases in Israel, but I'm thinking if her wife is Jewish and maybe connected a bit, that it may have been someone asking her wife to ask him and he can't say no to her.

So I'm still not 100% convinced he's a genocide supporting Zionist fuckface, but also I'm not 100% sure he isn't one.

[-] GuyIncognito@lemmy.ca 2 points 1 week ago

He can still get blown up by a missile

[-] WorldsDumbestMan@lemmy.today 13 points 1 week ago

The vulgarity makes the movie more viscereal I suppose. It's unpleasant to all who hear it, and that is the point.

[-] Smoogs@lemmy.world 11 points 1 week ago

Probably forced him to like feet as well

I count two jobs, n****r!

They probably forced him to give them a handjob too...

[-] Maeve@kbin.earth 6 points 1 week ago

Tarantino is a Zionist living in Israel, so I find this a bit difficult to swallow.

[-] Quetzalcutlass@lemmy.world 27 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago)

Note the subreddit the original image was posted in.

(The joke is that QT wrote and directed Pulp Fiction.)

[-] Soulg@ani.social 2 points 1 week ago

Its also a movie, the fact that people are vaguely upset about it is crazy

[-] jaybone@lemmy.zip 4 points 1 week ago

At first I thought that was a stacked washer and dryer in the background. Then I thought they mounted a toilet seat to the wall.

I know they shoved a watch up Christopher Walken's arse because he demanded he had to know how it felt so he could truly relate to the character he was playing.

Method actors. Sheesh.

[-] jaybone@lemmy.zip 2 points 1 week ago

That might explain the toilet seat.

[-] SlurpingPus@lemmy.world 4 points 1 week ago

Oh no, people say swearwords in films? I can't tolerate that, definitely wouldn't want characters in films to speak like people in real life.
