Pulp Fiction

Brokeback Fiction

Brokeback Fiction – what would have happened if Tarantino had been allowed to direct Brokeback Mountain.

Tarantino As Shakespeare

Eric David has written a long essay on the role of vice in Quentin Tarantino’s films. I think alot of the connections he tries to make – particularly the paragraph on the name Bill from Kill Bill – are a real stretch. Still an interesting article though.

There’s nothing up for Kill Bill yet, but with the proposed look of the DVD, its gonna need it. Here’s a list of the alternate covers available:

Tarantino Is Picky About His Blood

The IMDB link to this little tidbit will expire shortly, so I’ve just copied the info here for you:

Hollywood hero Quentin Tarantino is back – and he’s as bloody as ever. The True Romance scribe has finally completed his long-awaited fourth feature film as a director, Kill Bill, which stars Uma Thurman and Lucy Liu, and in the tradition of Reservoir Dogs, Pulp Fiction and Jackie Brown, it will be a bloody affair – except this time Quentin’s demanding extra-special fluids.

He says, “I’m really particular about the blood, so we’re using a mixture depending on the scenes. I say, ‘I don’t want horror movie blood, alright? I want Samurai blood.’ You can’t pour this raspberry pancake syrup on a sword and have it look good. You have to have this special kind of blood that you only see in samurai movies.”
