Right after he directs my script X-Men and Frosty the Snowman in the Cretaceous Period...

indeed. Shit, we've got "Movie News" threads based on other QT related rumors...whilst perusing, I found the "Come Drink with Me" thread.
really just split this off so as not to derail the other thread.
and it's a fun discussion, one that came up previously w/r/t Wes Anderson.
Jesus Christ, you guys have no sense of humor. I was making a humorous observation about the shitty source. But I can see how that would be missed in my 8-line short play entitled "Waiting for my Mocha Grande."
I enjoyed it but I didn't think I had to type big giant guffaws. I'll make sure to do that in the future.

This is why I love GingerMan. He doesn't post excessively but you always get more bang for your buck.
I'm fallin' on the side of "Give QT a break, mothafuckas!"
Personally, he hasn't done a single movie that hasn't entertained. So Grindhouse bombed at the box office. That's one movie. Think about the rocky careers of Francis Ford Coppola and Martin Scorcese. Okay so maybe the former never really regained his step, but he still made a shitload of movies in his career. QT has such a following, and there are still so many people who think of him as one of the real modern filmmaking greats, even if he does flounder a bit in the coming years I"d be willing to bet that there will always be people who'll finance his films. And he seems like the kind of dude who (despite his claims to the contrary) will be directing till his death bed. Even if it's maybe low budget "vanity" projects (aka exactly what he wants to do and fuck any studio assholes who try to interfere.) If that's self-indulgence, I want to see more of it!

Right, Broken Face?

At least you're not sayin' it when I had my portrait av!
But no, I wouldn't say QT is in any kind of "rut."
"Drug-fueled Spasmodic Brainfuck" maybe, but that's kinda par for the course for him.

That is frakking beautiful Dale.
You're really on your game this last few days.

Gotcha. When anyone in here starts trying to do that, we'll let you know.

I don't know about you guys, but my shit smells like fresh baked cinnamon rolls...they gave me pills for that when I joined the Quahog Beautiful People's Club.

How many times in a day does that crazy bitch even know what the fuck she's talking about?

C'mon guys. A few more posts about Tarantino's bowel movements and I think we'll have a strong contender for Zonie Fave Debate 2008- Does QT's shit stink?
Inquiring minds want to know.
Shut up about my face, Zarles!!! *runs away crying*
EDIT: Quentin's shit smells like the inside of a Swedish cowgirl!

No, no. In truth it's from smelling Quentin's ass, trying to lock down just what exactly that intoxicating odor is...
...wait for it...
*sniffs again just to be sure*
weed, taco bell, and toe jam (of various ladies but especially Uma.)

Taco Bell!? BLASPHEMY!
Quentin's shit smells like hamburgers, the cornerstone of any nutritious breakfast. Then again, I hear his girlfriend's a vegetarian, which pretty much makes him a vegetarian, too, so I could be wrong.

The reference to the 20-page Superman review in the interview just sounds like one of his hype-laden compliments to me. He likes the movie, that's all.

According to THIS ARTICLE, he's already written 20 pages. And he's not finished yet.
Says he'd have given Singer a 'Best Director' award for Superman Returns in 2006.
