Is Quentin Tarantino Compromising ‘Inglorious Bastards’?
When Quentin Tarantino made his bold statement at Cannes that he would be there in one year with Inglorious Bastards, everyone laughed and shook their heads saying “Ooh, Quentin, you rascal, you” and then continued about their business. 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.

Review: Sukiyaki Western Django

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.

So what happens when Japanese cult director Takashi Miike pays homage to Leone’s “A Fistful of Dollars” by mixing samurai elements with the American western, adding loads of gun play and bloodshed

We Predicted It - FASTER, BRITNEY! SPEAR! SPEAR!
On December 4, 2006, we (jokingly) prophesied that Britney Spears would co-star with Paris Hilton and Lindsay Lohan in a remake of Russ Meyer’s exploitation classic, Faster, Pussycat! Kill! Kill! Our prophecy now turns out to be at least one-third true. Britney apparently IS going to be starring in a Pussycat remake – directed by Quentin Tarantino, no less. You can read about it in the U.K. Telegraph, a story tastefully entitled Britney Spears to Play Lesbian Killer in Quentin Tarantino Film.

SIMON’S BLOG: Bad news.
Much to our mutual disappointment, I won't be appearing in QT's forthcoming Inglorious Bastards due to insurmountable scheduling difficulties.
