I’m guessing he won’t be doing this again since Leno didn’t seem very amused – but Quentin apparently got loaded while waiting to go on the show, and was a bit incoherant during his interview.

Tarantino is also quoted in this article about Jack Valenti halting the practice of sending review copies of films to Oscar voters:

Academy member Quentin Tarantino, a 1994 Oscar screenplay winner and best-director nominee for “Pulp Fiction,” said that if not for screener copies, a movie such as “Pollock” probably never would have been seen widely enough to gain Oscar buzz for Harden and the film’s star and director, Ed Harris, who was nominated for best actor.

Yet Tarantino said it pained him when he learned that videotapes of “Pulp Fiction” were being sent to Oscar voters.

“I’m here to tell you, I thought they were carving my heart out by sending videos,” said Tarantino, whose “Kill Bill, Vol. 1″ hits theaters next week. “I worked my (butt) off on that movie, and the fact that they were sending it out to people to watch in their homes, reduced to a tiny screen, I just hated that idea.”

Thanks to Marty for the heads up.

UPDATE: USA Today is afraid to publish the word ‘pussy’. They chickened out when referring to Tarantino’s Pussy Wagon.
