Awesome Quentin Tarantino

“The path of the righteous man is beset on all sides by the inequities of the selfish and the tyranny of evil men.” Jules Winnfield seems way more articulate and sensible than the average politician these days. So why not throw your support behind Samuel L. Jackson’s Pulp Fiction persona and his running mate Vincent Vega?

Quentin Tarantino’s movies have a certain flair for the dramatic, but we can only imagine the chaos that would have ensued in Pulp Fiction if Vincent and Jules had to supervise a mischievous cat with everything else going on. OwlKitty gives us a glimpse into what that movie might have looked like.

From jaw-dropping violence, to quoteworthy dialogue, to endless homages and pop culture references, Quentin Tarantino’s films are both a blast and uncomfortable to watch.

“My boss’ dirty laundry.” ScreenPrism muses on the possible contents of the briefcase in Pulp Fiction. Is it Marcellus Wallace’s soul? The diamonds from Reservoir Dogs? Or is it a literal MacGuffin, important only to the characters?

Word has it that Quentin Tarantino is really working on a Star Trek film – and we so want to see that. While we wait and see how that turns out, Nerdist went ahead and made a trailer for what they think it might be like, using footage from The Original Series.

(Gore) Filmmaker and editor Antonio Maria Da Silva pays tribute to two masterpieces of cinema – Quentin Tarantino’s Pulp Fiction, and Sergio Leone’s Once Upon a Time in the West. The result is a crazy tense scene that had us on the edge of our seats the entire time.

Lessons from the Screenplay uses the script for the opening scene in Inglorious Basterds to explain how suspense works in films. Unlike plot twists, suspense works best when you reveal the twist early, then milk it for as long as you can. And when you’ve cast Christoph Waltz.

(Gore) Frame By Frame summarizes one of the old criticisms against Quentin Tarantino: that he stole the story of Reservoir Dogs from Ringo Lam’s 1987 classic City on Fire. Then they argue that Tarantino did the same thing with The Hateful Eight.

“I’m taking this woman to hang. The reward is $10,000.” Not the smartest thing to announce when you’re stranded in a house full of questionable gun-toting folks. And a cow puncher. Bullets and one-liners will fly in Quentin Tarantino’s The Hateful Eight.

In yet another Tarantino track played on appliances, this guy discovered that his hair dryer made the siren sound from The Bride’s vengeance-craving sequences from Kill Bill. In case you’re wondering, the sound started life as Quincy Jones’ theme to Ironside.

(Gore, PG-13 Language) Editor Jacob T. Swinney’s latest supercut takes a look at the ample quantities of blood found in the films of Quentin Tarantino. Seriously, the guy must get a discount on Karo syrup and red food coloring.
