Pretty much immediately after the amusing quote, Tarantino went and finished his script and then started casting and scouting locations like a mad man; this told us he was actually serious and was out to prove it. So here we are. The movie is looking to start

It was pretty eye opening seeing the huge difference between them, the speedy carnage of the former and the slow suspense of the latter, and I became an instant fan. Since then I've managed to track down just six more Miike movies, and in that same time he has made over forty (including video

Return of ‘Entourage’ is Can’t Miss TV
“Entourage,” the first-ever make-believe reality show, is back. (HBO, Sunday, 10 p.m.) Movies In the 1960s, Italian director Sergio Leone crafted a series of spaghetti westerns that placed stoic heroes in the midst of harsh, grimy, violent, sometimes macabre conditions to create hyper-realistic conflict.
