You couldn’t make that movie today…
Because it was made in 1994 and that’s how the linear progression of time works.
I mean, we’re not making Casablanca!
Good, someone else already made that.
whats that from? it sounds so familiar
thanks
If we did remake it, it would have to have Peter Dinklage in it (if you know, you know).
That’s like getting a handjob from your boss at work when you’re self-employed working from home.
the director told me to suck your feet
The vulgarity makes the movie more viscereal I suppose. It’s unpleasant to all who hear it, and that is the point.
Probably forced him to like feet as well
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”.
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.
I’d say a kick to the face but he’d probably enjoy that.
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.
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?
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.
Is he really a Zionist?
He told his wife if the missiles kill him he’ll "die as a zionist" interpret that however you like.
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.
well his garage does have a dead zionazi storage sign on it.
I went on a bit of a rollercoaster there.
Quentin Tarantino no longer lives in Israel though, as of last autumn.

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.
He can still get blown up by a missile
They probably forced him to give them a handjob too…
I count two jobs, n****r!
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.
Have you seen the movie? It’s completely unnecessary and excessive. It adds nothing to the movie.

The whole movie is about being unnecessary and excessive…? That’s pretty literally the title;
In Finnish the title is translated as “stories from/about violence” (tarinoita väkivallasta)
Also, it was the 90’s.
Indeed, unlike all the swearing people do all day every day, which is crucial to their life.
Tarantino should pare down the speech of his characters to the level of Disney, then it will be entirely appropriate to the plot and completely realistic.
Have you seen the movie? Do you know what quotes you’re actually defending, and what the context was?
Do I have a sign on my lawn that says ‘dead n****r storage’?!
Wow, so funny and absolutely necessary. And it had to be delivered by a white person. Had to.
Perhaps you’d also want to watch this scene and tell me why the things McNulty and Moreland saying are in any way necessary and how the scene is then so popular. Btw, the series is also packed with the ‘n-word’, particularly in the first season. How come the depiction of valiant police force doesn’t use ‘black fella’ or something instead?
What?
First of all, I love the Wire and I don’t even need to click the link to know what scene you’re referring to.
I’m actually not convinced that you’ve seen Pulp Fiction if you’re comparing Tarantino unnecessarily saying the N word multiple times to one of the best scenes in television history.
In fact, I remember one of the quotes from Tarantino from when Vincent and Sam Jackson’s character (forget his name off the top of my head) pull up to Tarantino’s character’s house after accidentally shooting Martin in the head in the backseat of the car.
Tarantino’s completely necessary joke, the one you’re comparing to a scene from The Wire is,
Is there a sign on my law that says dead n****r storage?
Wow, so funny and necessary.
Yeah, got it, when the word is said in ‘The Wire’, it’s necessary, when it’s in Tarantino’s film, it’s unnecessary. Great criterion.
Have you seen Pulp Fiction in the last decade?
Context matters. Who says it matters. What it adds (or doesn’t add) to the dialogue matters.
Comparing tarratino writing himself in to his own movie to say the n word in a couple forced “jokes,” to The Wire is definitely one of the takes off all time
Explain to me why incessant usage of the ‘n-word’ is necessary in ‘The Wire’.
First of all, I have never found it’s use in The Wire to be excessive. I can’t even remember a specific example. Incessant? Lol no. I just rewatched the show last year. They 100% don’t “incessantly use the n-word” in The Wire.
Stop being obtuse. Black people in Baltimore in the 90s said the word to each other. So if you’re writing a realistic, gritty show, it might include that word.
Not used by white people in throwaway jokes that are supposed to make them seem funny and relatable.
Quentin Tarantino has no reason to say it other than “it was in the script.”
And who wrote that script? Hmmm.
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.
That might explain the toilet seat.
“I didn’t really want to treat immigrants inhumanly. The POTUS and my inability to choose against being a racist scumbag forced me to join ICE.”
Just an fyi in case you missed the joke, Tarantino is the director and screenwriter. The joke was that he told himself to do it, nobody actually pressured him.
Fuck Reddit and Fuck Spez.
EXCEPT DONT FUCK SPEZ, LET HIM DIE A VIRGIN!
“No… Don’t… Stop…”
