Tarantino To Make 'Grind House'
Tarantino and Robert Rodriguez are going to write and direct a horror film called Grind House.
Miramax Films golden children Quentin Tarantino and Robert Rodriguez are teaming up to make a film for the new company established by the studio's founders, Bob and Harvey Weinstein.Tarantino and Rodriguez will each write and direct a 60-minute horror film, and the two films will be packaged under the title 'Grind House', which is planned for a spring 2006 release through the Weinstein Co.
Tarantino says that this could be the first in a series of films. No official word on what this does to the timeline for getting Inglorious Bastards finished - but I smell a delay.

I would like to see Quentin doing a horror film but not know. After everybody has been waiting for Inglorious Bastards it would just be disapointing not to do Inglorious Bastards.

well, he is only directing 60 minutes of it. If it is a delay, it should only be a few months at most

Tarantino has said for a long time that he has wanted to do a horror movie. I am fine with him doing this one hour long Grind House bit, but I hope this isn't the horror movie that he has wanted to do. I hope he does this, and still a full length original horror movie by himself several years from now. Alas, I want Inglorious Bastards first, like everyone else!!!

yeah, i want IB too. i mean, this will be cool, obviously, but the man is taking to freaking long to choose what he's going to do! first it was IB, and then he wanted to do an old school kung fu film, and then CSI, and then vegas bros, and now IB and this grindhouse thing. make up your mind QT! we want more movies soon!

I am so pissed that he's delaying Bastards again. Damn you Quentin! I wonder if he's going to have cool 30's, 40's music of that era for the movie. Man, that'd be great!

Well, seeing as my views are akin to everyone else's who's commented on this bit-oh-news, I'm not really sure why I'm commenting... but if for whatever reason Quentin actually becomes computer/internet-literate enough to stumble upon this website in the near fute and reads this, here goes: come out with Inglorious Bastards, dammit!

I would like to see IB as much as all of you. But he has 15 years. This Grind House seems alright and i justbhope The Vega Brothers comes into my DVD set in the near future.

I wanted to see Bastards next too. I wish QT would just get rolling on pre production for IB and save this little Grindhouse idea for later.
The Vega Brothers thing is something I hope never rears its ugly head. Theres no reason to do a film like that. If he was going to do it, it shouldve been back in 95 or 96, but not now.
Inglorious Bastards most likely wont feature much music if any from the 30s or 40s because QT stated in an interview hes going to use all kinds of music from different periods of the 20th century, not just music that was popular in WW2. He said if he shoots a scene and a hip hop song fits in with that aesthetic, he will use it.

Backing up what Pete has said a little bit, I seriously doubt that a Vega Brothers movie will ever be made this late in Tarantino's career. He has too much other stuff to do. Plus, because Travolta died in Pulp Fiction and Madsen in Reservoir Dogs, it would obviously have to be a prequel when they were both still alive. But because both actors continue to get older, this gets harder and harder to pull off.

In response to Mr Pink:
Why should a director just do one genre? Thats sort of close minded thinking. Theres so much more out there he can do than just crime films. I'm tired of crime films to be honest. How many freakin gangster/mobster/heist films can you make? I mean, QT does do them great, but I dont want him to go back to that genre for a long time. I want to see him put his mark on all sorts of diff genres. Westerns, Horror, Adventure, Sci Fi. etc etc

From Dusk Till Dawn

Oh shit I forgot. Everybody I have talked to does not like from dusk till dawn. I dont know why because I liked from dusk till dawn. The first half was pretty good. But after everybody turn into vampires it almost just turns into a bad horror movie. What I am saying is the movie is pretty good until Quentin dies. Because he was the best part in the movie.
[26] On May-31-2005, misterpink867 wrote:
i didn't think that FDTD was the greatest, but it was definately entertaining. the dialogue was pretty good, even if the story was kinda weak. it was nowhere near pulp fiction, RD, jackie brown, or the kill bill stuff though.
[27] On May-31-2005, QT Fan wrote:
That is because Robert Rodriguez did the film. Quentin didnt do the whole film. I think Quentin produced it. I'm not saying Robert is a bad director. I'm just saying that did didnt do the whole thing.

[29] On May-31-2005, misterpink867 wrote:
actually, he wrote the script. the original story wasn't his, but all the dialogue was. that's why i said earlier that the dialogue was good. i think that's why jackie brown wasn't as good as RD and pulp fiction. QT wasn't able to do everything his way. he was stuck with some source material that he had to stay somewhat true to.
[30] On May-31-2005, QT Fan wrote:
Really I didnt know that. I think Jackie Brown was as good as pulp fiction and Reservoir Dogs. It was a really good movie with really good acting. Robert DeNiro was my favorite character in Jackie Brown because he didnt talk much. It was a really low conversation character. But in some ways Jackie Brown is just as good as his other ones. The one scene where you see the drawn plane going across the map and the camera zooms in and you see Jackie Brown in the plane. That is my favorite camera shot ever
[31] On May-31-2005, Pete wrote:
For a smaller budget, crazy crime-horror film, From Dusk Til Dawn was fun. Its very rewatchable too. I agree with QT Fan about Jackie Brown. I think its so far one of QTs best works, as good or better than Pulp or Dogs. Its obviously not in QTs Universe, its in Elmore Leonards, but it shows that QT can handle other peoples stories as well as his own and make them really exciting and fun to watch. I sort of felt the same way about his CSI Episode. He brings that QT dialogue, dark humor and his unique rhythm to projects. I wish he'd write/direct more often. ˇ

I'm with MisterPink on this one. Jackie Brown was awesome, as all of Tarantino's movies are, but it is his worst film so far. Not that that is a bad thing, because it was still really good and well acted and all that, but it just wasn't as good as Pulp, Dogs, or Kill Bill.
[33] On May-31-2005, QT Fan wrote:
I dont know about that. Jackie Brown was great. In my opinion it is just as good as Reservoir Dogs and Pulp Fiction.I think that Jackie Brown is better than Kill Bill. Kill Bill is my least favorite of Quentin's movies. Kill Bill is still great but it is my least favorite. It is really really cool. But it just doesnt have Quentin's dialogue. I still love Kill Bill.

i thought that the kill bill films were incredible. jackie brown was freaking awesome, but it wasn't as good as the others. it didn't have that crazy, over-the-top insanity to it that the others did. if i had to rate QT's films, i would give PF, RD, and the kill bill stuff 5 stars. and jackie brown would be like 4 and a half. so it was still awesome, but not as great as the others.
[37] On Jun-01-2005, ButchTheBoxer16 wrote:
That's exactly how I feel. And to QT Fan, Kill Bill ( especially Vol.2 ) has Tarantino's dialogue, more so than Jackie Brown. Because Jackie Brown's script had to use so much from the book, while Kill Bill was completely original. The Superman speech by Bill was a great example of complete original Tarantino style dialogue.

If your going to compare a QT movie you compare it to evry other movie ever made that wasnt made by QT.
If QT uses HD cameras to film both movies the delay for IB may not be too bad. Robert Rodriegez has been pumping out movies lately using the new technology and personally I can wait a little longer for IB if those two are working together again.

you're right, it does. but not as much. we're definately not saying that JB was bad, it was excellent actually, but just that the other 4 films are just a little better.
and yeah, i can wait a little longer for IB. as long as quentin is directly involved (none of that executive producer crap. a writer or director position) in something, then i'll be content.

I have a question for misterpink867. What is your favorite Quentin Tarantino film?
[42] On Jun-01-2005, misterpink867 wrote:
aww man. that's like choosing between my children. i don't know. i like all of them for different reasons. the film that had the most impact on me however, was Reservoir Dogs. i had never seen a film like it before and the ending left me shocked. and a little disturbed. after that i watched pulp fiction, then jackie brown, and the the kill bill stuff.
so i guess i really don't have a favorite. they're all unique. i mean, how are reservoir dogs and kill bill vol 1 similiar? they're too different to compare. i know that was kinda vague. sorry if i left you more confused then you were before. =)
[43] On Jun-01-2005, QT Fan wrote:
It is to hard to choose. But if my life depended on it. I would choose Reservoir Dogs. I dont know why. Reservoir Dogs has my favorite dialogue. Reservoir Dogs is my favorite movie of all time. The first time I saw it I was amazed. As soon as I saw it I instantly knew that it probably going to be favorite movie of all time. But that all changed when Pulp Fiction came out. Reservoir Dogs was still my favorite but it was a hard choice. After all of Quentin's movies came out I still choose Reservoir Dogs. Some people hate me for saying that Reservoir Dogs is my favorite movie. They argue that The Godfather is better. But in my opinion, Reservoir Dogs will always be my favorite movie. When the next Quentin Tarantino movie comes out, that may all change.
[44] On Jun-02-2005, misterpink867 wrote:
i'll get killed for this, but i've always thought that Resevoir Dogs (or any of QT's films for that matter) is much better then the godfather. i mean, the godfather stuff is great, but if i had to choose between the godfather and RD, RD would win, hands down.
[45] On Jun-02-2005, ButchTheBoxer16 wrote:
No offense to any of the Godfatehr films ( especially the first 2 ) because they are amazing, great films, but they ( much like Citizen Kane ) are a tad over-rated. They are awesome like I said, but I think they are over-rated because they aren't the best films ever or anything like that, but still magnificent. Citizen Cane I didn't find that great, but that's another story. RD beats CK and the Godfather films.
[46] On Jun-02-2005, Pete wrote:
What people have to do is put the films in context to what they were trying to do. For the crime caper or sting subgenre, Jackie Brown is one of the BEST. For Exploitation/Grindhouse genre films Kill Bill is at the top of the list. What I think Quentin wants to do is go into every genre he works in and do the best he can and give us new twists on old ideas and concepts. An appreciation and celebration of all of cinema each time out. So far hes done an excellent job.
As far as what every fan feels is his best film, thats just a matter of opinion. For some it may be the mature, intricately executed world of Jackie Brown. For others it may be the wild 70s grindhouse genre explosion-pure cinema bliss of Kill Bill. It doesnt matter, what matters is that Tarantino keep expanding his range and ideas of cinema.
What I want to see from QT most is a filmography full of exploration and so far he hasnt dissapointed me.

Butch, If you think Dogs is better than Citizen Kane, you need to get yourself to a doctor QUICK! I love Dogs, its a great post modern crime film, but better than Citizen Kane? I dont think so. I wouldnt even call Pulp Fiction better than CK. Watch more films man.

Like Pete, I strongly have to disagree. Now I haven't seen Pulp Fiction or Jackie Brown yet, but The Godfather beats Reservoir dogs. The Godfather is a movie of wisdom while Reservoir dogs is about keeping your cool and not loosing your head. Reservoir dogs is my 3rd favorite crime movie below The Godfather 1&2 (they're so similar i count them as one movie) and Scarface (Tony's too badass)

Someone please tell me why Citizen Kane is such a great masterpiece? I realize Orson Welles did an amazing job because he directed, starred in, produced, and co-wrote it, which is completely amazing to have that much talent. But the movie itself, although good is over-rated because I can't understand why it should be considered a classic. If someone can fight for its case, please do so. But all in all, whether it is a Tarantino movie, Godfather film, of Citizen Kane, it is all a matter of opinion.

citizen kane is such a great masterpiece because every movie since CK owes something to it. Ck set the bar for every movie to follow it, instead of the studios controlling every aspect of the process Orson Welles did. Something that had never been before. plus, just watch the opening sequence of Kanes death to see why its so great.
[53] On Jun-03-2005, ButchTheBoxer16 wrote:
Your opening death scene is a good argument, and I am sure CK was the first movie to take control as opposed to the studios doing that, but even if it wasn't the first movie to do that, a crappy film could of come one year after it and done the same thing. So it being the first to do something that would of eventually been done by any other movie isn't the best argument in my opinion. If that makes any sense, I know that was confusing just writing it.

I just thought it would be funny to mention that this is the longest running topic I have ever seen on this site. This will be the 54th comment, the second most was 30, I think. What started about Tarantino directed 60 minutes of horror has gone from that, to comparing Tarantino's movies, talking about his dialogue, The Godfather, and Citizen Kane. Just thought it was kind of amusing.
[55] On Jun-03-2005, Jamie wrote:
Another reason that Citizen Kane is considered such a great film is because of its technical, rather than emotional achievements. The special affects (watch Orson Welles age thirty years in thirty seconds behind a paper), make up (same), visual composition (as someone said, the opening sequence), and the then groundbreaking dubbing mix and editing techniques. Back in '45, those were the things that Citizen Kain was acclaimed for, rather than the storyline.
I think why it is often considered the greatest of all time because retrospectively people have descovered an emotional core that the original audiences missed.
Combined with it's already massive standing as a 'technical' film, people began to see it as the perfect synthesis of these two very different types of film (technical film: The Matrix, emotional film: The Dear Hunter).
Orson Welles was very much like QT when he did PF, criminally young and talented. What I think PF did is create a film that was highly technical, not particularily emotional, but damn fucking cool - in essence creating a new genre - or at least enhancing previous filmic elements (style and cool purposefully over substance) originally seen in say, the films of Peckinpah or Leone's Spaghetti's.

Jamies got it all down on the CK subject. To me, you just can't compare a film like Citizen Kane to a film like Dogs or Pulp Fiction. CK is pretty much a perfect film both in the direction and the storytelling aspects. Welles basically blew the doors of cinema open with that film. It was like he was saying "See what you can do with this medium?!!" I think ever since then people have been trying to get to a place like that in their own way.
If you dont get why we hold CK in such high regard, just really try to watch it closely and think about when it was made. We're talking 1941.
[58] On Jun-04-2005, Mr. Brown wrote:
I think Godfather and CK are both great great movies. It is hard to compare different directors because each director has his/her own style. You cant compare Godfather to Reservoir Dogs. Well I guess you can but you may get beat up for your answer. You have compare Godfather to every other movie that Francis Ford Coppola has made. The same goes for every director

Has anyone heard of a thing called the Mr Brown case. It is a theory that Mr. Brown is Jimmie from Pulp Fiction. I dont know if Jimmie is spelled with a y or not. When you see Mr. Brown in reservoir dogs you dont see him get shot. The car just stops and there is a wound on his head. Mr White then kills all the cops. Mr. white comes and looks at Mr. brown real quick and assumes Mr. brown is dead. On reservoir dogs special edition dvd there is a deleted scene where eddie talks about a nurse named bonnie. In pulp fiction Jimmie is married to a nurse named bonnie. I am saying that Mr. brown got out of the car after Mr white and Mr orange left and met the nurse named bonnie and got married.

Wow, I had never heard of that before, but it could very well be true. Tarantino takes characters from his movies and blends them, so I wouldn't doubt it. Also, I think it was this site where I learned that Mr. Pink, the only survivor ( unless if Mr. Brown counts ), gets arrested after he leaves the storage facility. You think he just leaves in the end and is the only one to get away, but I guess if you listen closely, you can hear the cops bust him and even shoot him.

When the car crashes in reservoir dogs Mr. Brown's window is rolled down. Mr. Brown could have looked out the window and got shot and kept driving but I believe that it could be possible that Mr. Brown is Jimmie.

I just watched RD again to check the Mr. Brown case. There arent bullet holes in the front window and the back window. There was also no bullet hole in Mr. Brown's forehead. But I did see one thing. The camera angle is on the opposite side of the car where Mr. Brown is. And the camera is backed away. Mr. White goes over(with the same camera angle the whole time) and asks Mr. Orange if he is dead. Mr. Orange does not answer. From the same camera angle you see Mr. White do something. I am not sure if he just looks at Mr. Brown or if he checks his pulse you cant tell with the camera angle.

I've concluded ( with a little help from a friend ) that Mr. Brown is not Jimmie. Because Mr. White died in Pulp Fiction, but is alive in Reservior Dogs, Pulp would of had to happen first. Since Jimmie knows The Wolf in Pulp and Mr. Brown knows Mr. White in RD, it just seems weird. My friend pointed out that there probably would have been more tension between Mr. Brown and Mr. White in RD if they had known each other from PF. It is kind of confusing, but I just don't think it fits. Because if Jimmie and Mr. Brown is the same guy, I would assume Mr. White and The Wolf is, but if that is the case, it wouldn't work.

But I think Kevin Smith and Quentin Tarantino kinda have the same style of directing. They both have great dialogue. They both have funny dialogue. Both dialogue has conversations that talk about bullshit. In Clerks the dialogue is about Star Wars and Comics. In Reservoir Dogs it is about Like A Virgin and other cool shit. Reservoir Dogs has some comic book dialogue. It is actually is my favorite line in the whole movie. When Tim Roth is trying to explain how Joe looks. He says"The Thing. Motherfucker looks like The Thing". That is pretty fucking funny.

my guess is an assassin.

I heard that Quentin was going to do a movie about the daughter. It was a while ago. I cant even remember where I heard it.

I still say we aim for 100, since we are only 10 away. To QT Fan: I heard about him doing a movie on the daughter too in the form of Kill Bill Vol.3, but who knows if that will ever happen.

Lets go for 100. I was pretty sure I herd him doing a movie about the daughter.

I just saw Pulp Fiction finally and i can't get over when Butch saves Marcellus. first he gets a hammer, then goes to a bat, then he gets a goddamn chainsaw. When he looked up at something else, i was just thinking what the fuck could be better than a chainsaw, then when they showed the sword i was speechless. Back then i'm sure people were just like "dude, he's gonna use a samurai sword, that is cool man" but now that Kill Bill came out, it actually seems to mean something
[93] On Jun-07-2005, QT Fan wrote:
I thought the same thing when I saw Pulp Fiction. I was just wandering if the sword Butch uses is a hatori hanzo sword. I know that Kill Bill and Pulp Fiction aren't even the same universe but it would be cool if it was a hatori hanzo sword.

for a second i thought it was the sword Budd said he pawned, but he lied when he said that so... yeah

I didnt think about the sword until a few days ago. I just thought"hey, that may be a hatori hanzo sword". But I never knew.

I heard that QT may do a sequel to Kill Bill in 15 years or so. In that film, Vernitas daughter Nikki will go after The Bride to get revenge. Who knows if he will ever make it. It would probably be his last film if he did do it.
PULP FICTION: What I really liked about that sequence before Butch goes down in the basement to help Marcellus was that each weapon he chose signified a different cult film: the chainsaw (Texas Chainsaw Massacre), the Bat (Walking Tall) and the Samurai Sword (Lone Wolf and Cub etc).
[97] On Jun-08-2005, ButchTheBoxer16 wrote:
Good call Pete. I didn't realize that about Pulp Fiction. However, I seriously doubt that the sword would be Hatori Hanzo sword because I don't think those two raping, low-life scumbuckets would ever want something like that, let alone, put it in display in their store. 3 more messages to go. Congradulations folks! :)

The theory about Vernita Green's marriage to Jules (except c'mon Jules would not take that shit from The Bride without hunting her down himself) and her being a vegetarian got me wondering about other name conceptions. Supposedly, Elle Driver was a nickname for someone on the From Dusk Till Dawn set, and the movies "Jules and Jim" and "Billy Budd" were the inspiration for all those guys from PF and KB... can anyone think of any more?

Oh, and Jackie Brown was inspired by "Foxy Brown" I think...

wait, if all the weapons in the pawn shop were from a different cult film, what was the hammer from? And i'm pretty sure the sword was not Hotorri Hanza, it didn't look fancy enough

I never knew if it was a hattori hanzo sword or not. Pulp Fiction and Kill Bill aren't even in the same universe.

Do you mean the film 'Jules et Jim' - a French comedy from the 50's?
[106] On Jun-09-2005, Pete wrote:
The sword in PF is not the Hanzo sword. 1) It doesnt take place in the Movie Movie Universe 2) Look at the sword, its a piece of junk. haha.
I dont know what movie the hammer is referencing.
Jackie Brown WAS inspired by Foxy Brown, Pam Griers follow up to her other Blaxploitation hit: Coffy. Check them out if you havent already, they are awesome.
Jules and Jimmy could be a reference to Francois Truffauts 60s French New Wave romantic comedy Jules Et Jim, but I dont know if QT has said that for sure.
QT is in Kill Bill. He is one of the dead/maimed Crazy 88s lying on the floor in the big bloody House of Blue Leaves aftermath when The Bride is telling them to leave their limbs behind.
Ive heard that Budd's name comes from one of QTS favorite dire ctors Budd Boetticher.
Elle Drivers name comes from a girl who worked on the documentary about From Dusk Til Dawn: Full Tilt Boogie. Her name is Sarah L. Driver.
Sheriff McGraw (Michael Parks) is in From Dusk Til Dawn and Kill Bill.
Theres tons of co nnections. Do we want this post to reach 1000? haha. ``ˇ

Fine, fine, "Jules ET Jim," even though the american title is "Jules and Jim." It just got released on DVD, there's an article in the newest Entertainment Weekly (w/ Russell Crowe and Renée Zell... on the cover).

I just came into my living room when one of my cats stepped on the remote and turned it to Nickelodeon. They turned it to Jimmy Neutron. On that episode, there were in a writing contest and whoever wrote the best screenplay got to direct a movie with a famous director. And the famous director was named Quentin Smithee and he looked just Quentin Tarantino. I laughed my ass off.

Aw man I don't know who still watches Saturday Night Live besides me but there was one episode of the fake "Sharon Osbourne" show where Fred Armisen does a dead-on Tarantino. Norm MacDonald also does an awesome impression, does anyone by any chance know where either of these can be found online?

Did anybody see the SNL show a while back where they had a Quentin Tarantino version of Welcome Back Kotter. It is hilarious. In the end it has Steve Buschemi int it. It is hilarious. John Travolta ties up the principal and pours galoline on him and is going to cut his ear off. It is hilarious.

A lot of you probably alread know this, but i'll say it anyway. There was an episode of the simpsons where there was an itchy and scratchy episode called Reservoir Cats. on this episode, you see ithcy dancing around scratchy (they're both wearing suits)while listening to stuck in the middle with you, and he's pouring gas all over scratchy, then he pulls a razor out and cuts his ear off. the Quentin Tarantino comes out and says something like "What I'm trying to say with this cartoon is that violence is everywhere. It's, like, even in our breakfast cereal, man" Then itchy cuts his head off, but anyway, that's where he got the idea for the gun in the Kaboom cereal in Kill Bill
