OrangeSoul Posted October 18, 2003 Share Posted October 18, 2003 "Have you read the Quentin Tarantino interview in the new issue of ROLLING STONE? He says the most stunning, chilling things about 9/11 I think I've ever read. I'm not sure why the man's words haven't provoked more outrage from people who think he's nothing but a cold-blooded hyper-twit who lives entirely on a geek planet of his own design -- a place where no meaningful human emotion is allowed. To me, the RS piece affirms this idea beyond any doubt. "After reading his "feelings" about 9/11, I'd be amazed if anyone could look at the down-and-dirty violence in every last one of his films and not wonder if the man behind it isn't really some sort of demented sociopath after all. Here's how it reads: "'RS: Has 9/11 or the war on terror had any impact on you personally or creatively? "'QT: "9/11 didn't affect me, because there's, like, a Hong Kong movie that came out called PURPLE STORM and it's fantastic, a great action movie. And they work in a whole big thing in the plot that they blow up a giant skyscraper. It was done before 9/11, but the shot almost is a semiduplicate shot of 9/11. I actually enjoyed inviting people over to watch the movie and not telling them about it. I shocked the **** out of them... I was almost thrilled by that naughty aspect of it. It made it all the more exciting. "'Q: But on some level you must have been caught up in the reality of 9/11. "'A: I was scared, like everybody else. 'OK, what is this new world we're going to be living in? Is it going to be ****ing Belfast here?' And I didn't want to ****ing fly nowhere. I remember thinking at the time -- this was when they were shooting the MATRIX sequels in Australia -- 'What if everything, all this ****, breaks out, man?' And all that's left in Hollywood are the Matrix people? That would be a ****in' drag' [Laughs].' "Tell me you'll ever be able to look at this guy's work the same way again. What a gigantic ****ing ######... is it boycott time or what?" -- Tim Merrill Wells to Merrill: Yeah, he does sound aloof and disconnected in a geeky sort of way. On the other hand, I'm not sure he should be brought up on charges if he wants to give an atypical, non-p.c. answer to his feelings about 9/11. http://www.moviepoopshoot.com/elsewhere/ Plus this Quentin got all riled up about The Matrix and the use of evil CGI in movies. This new-found hatred was apparently triggered when director Luc Besson brought Keanu Reeves to an early screening of Kill Bill. 'I watched Keanu watching and I suddenly felt it,' explains Tarantino. [Warning: what follows is definitely an 18 rating verbal explosion] 'You know, my guys are all real. There's no computer ****ing around. I'm sick to death of all that ****. This is old school with ****ing cameras. If i'd wanted all that computer game bull****, I'd have gone home and stuck my dick in my Nintendo. Really warming to his theme, Tarantino continues; 'This CGI bull**** is the death knell of cinema. Movies are far too ****ing expensive at the moment and it's killing the ****ing art form. The way it's going, in ten year's time it will officially be killed.' Later on in the interview, Tarantino lets slip a couple of morsels on what we can expect from Kill Bill 2. 'Vol 2 is out February 20. Vol 1 is a pure burst of adrenaline. Two we slow it down a little bit, you get to know the characters more, especally Bill; he's in every other ****ing frame. Two's more like my other movies, the dialogue comes to the fore, and it's more chronologically ******. And it really ain't gonna end pretty.' http://www.empireonline.co.uk/news/news.as...+Tarantino&cp=1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cerbero Posted October 18, 2003 Share Posted October 18, 2003 He's obviously ****ing about. Most of the things he says is not to be taken seriously. Like, when they try to pull out a serious answer from him in interviews, he'll go on answering them like this in stead. Who cares anyway? :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DsnBehind Posted October 18, 2003 Share Posted October 18, 2003 He says stupid things. Is that a crime? Don't demean him for being an idiot. Another example of how everyone is completely obsessed with what celebrities think. "What does Angelina Jolie think of the Iraq war?" I don't care!

ms998 Posted October 18, 2003 Share Posted October 18, 2003 I'll prob get flamed for this but... 11/9 happened, nothing can change that. Just get on with your lives. The risk of it happening to you is sooo small its not worth worrying about. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blues Posted October 18, 2003 Share Posted October 18, 2003 QT is an artist, nuff said. And in response to his reply on the whole 9/11 thing. Maybe he just doesnt think we should live in fear. Whats done is done, and there is nothing we can do to change it. All we can do is try to prevent such a tragedy from ever happening again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IgwanaRob Posted October 18, 2003 Share Posted October 18, 2003 The question was "'RS: Has 9/11 or the war on terror had any impact on you personally or creatively? Who the heck are you to critisize his personal feelings? Looks like your trying to call the kettle black. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kronix2 Posted October 18, 2003 Share Posted October 18, 2003 Nobody has to care about any disasters elsewhere in the world...but 9/11 is an exception why? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mayamaniac Posted October 18, 2003 Share Posted October 18, 2003 If anything, I'm concern about KillBill Vol.2. He says its gonna slow down a bit with more story about the character compare to vol. 1. I kinda like the pacing on Vol.1 so I hope he doesn't bore me with dialogue in vol.2, but I hope vol.2 will kick ass like the first one. Uma Thurman rocks! :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MR_Candyman Posted October 18, 2003 Share Posted October 18, 2003 Nobody has to care about any disasters elsewhere in the world...but 9/11 is an exception why? because Americans are PROUD. Pride stirs up emotions. I remember a newspaper I got that had 137 (i think...pretty close to that number) people in Africa killed during a train wreck involving 2 trains....it was the LAST PAGE! Really, I don't see why people are so proud of their country that with every incident that happens they're crying and worrying about everything...if it doesn't DIRECTLY involve you, either care about EVERYTHING bad that happens, or don't care about everything equally. For those the incidents affect directly, I can understand them being traumatized by it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rezza Veteran Posted October 18, 2003 Veteran Share Posted October 18, 2003 I'm sick to death of all that ****. This is old school with ****ing cameras. If i'd wanted all that computer game bull****, I'd have gone home and stuck my dick in my Nintendo. My thoughts exactly. CGI has ruined a lot of films. I think the Matrix would have been a lot better if it didn't have so much damn CGI in it. and as for reloaded, psh... don't get me started.

If I was to say I don't care about 9/11 (and I don't as it does not effect me in anyway other then the fact a local postoffice in my area has been and still is closed for 2 years due to Anthrax being found there) I would be looked at like I am a traitor to USA. :crazy: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
werejag Posted October 18, 2003 Share Posted October 18, 2003 what gets my about the my fellow americans i fought for is they believe 9/11 was somehow differnt than the 100000 of other terrist attacks. that happen on a daily basis. sure 9/11 was a terrible thing, but so was the crimes of humanity all over. get the over it, nothing special happend to you. you wasnt given a mandate by god to kill everyone else. this guy has an option to speak his mind if you dont like it. blow it out your as$ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
morganpugh84 Posted October 18, 2003 Share Posted October 18, 2003 Everyone has there own opinion on things and if that is his opinion you can debate it but you can't say it is wrong. It is a little different then most people's opinions though :p Saying that though I doubt it was serious :p Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ANova Posted October 18, 2003 Share Posted October 18, 2003 He seems a little eccentric. But, news flash. You should care about other people. Imagine if you were in those buildings, or someone you know. I agree there are many other disasters that deserve equal respect but you cannot say 9/11 was insignificant.

eosKENuids2 Posted October 18, 2003 Share Posted October 18, 2003 i feel sad for the people that died, and their families and friends... but i cant really be bothered about getting worked up about pride and all that crap. If something like that happened here (Australia) i'd have the same feelings... the location means nothing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AltecXP Posted October 19, 2003 Share Posted October 19, 2003 people are to damn sensative, 9/11 hasnt affected me at all, neither did columbine. i flat out dont care it doesnt affect me at all, sure i feel bad for those that lose someone in the events, but when u look at it it doesnt really afect many people at all, they were shocked for about a week and it went away, ok you take longer to get on a plane, big deal. i blame it on teh media mostly they push it so had that after a small time you dont car, you just want them to shut up. we only single out 9/11 cuz it happened iin the us, if it happened over seas i garantee no one would still remember it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
