Author Topic: Tarantino on Kimmel Live Jason Black Phenomenal Film Handler Posts: 1723 From: Myrtle Beach, SC, USA Registered: Nov 2000 posted 10-09-2003 11:36 PM                        WTF is he saying? "12 year olds buy a ticket for Good Boy! and SNEAK into Kill Bill." He basically goes on to say that the film is suitable for any 12 year old in America. I knew the man was twisted... but Sweet Lord... Kimmel asked him "well, how will you get the money?" (if the kids snuck in) "It's not about the money..." What a dick... An ingenious one, but still a dick!  |  IP: Logged Dennis Benjamin Phenomenal Film Handler Posts: 1445 From: Denton, MD Registered: Feb 2002 posted 10-10-2003 01:33 AM                        There is more dead bodies (and body parts) in this film than all the films in the last decade combined. I will be during auditorium checks frequently and kicking out those kids that try to pull that crap.........  |  IP: Logged Michael Schaffer "Where is the Boardwalk Hotel?"

Main Entry: sar·casm Pronunciation: 'sär-"ka-z&m Function: noun Etymology: French or Late Latin; French sarcasme, from Late Latin sarcasmos, from Greek sarkasmos, from sarkazein to tear flesh, bite the lips in rage, sneer, from sark-, sarx flesh; probably akin to Avestan thwar&s- to cut Date: 1550 1 : a sharp and often satirical or ironic utterance designed to cut or give pain <tired of continual sarcasms> 2 a : a mode of satirical wit depending for its effect on bitter, caustic, and often ironic language that is usually directed against an individual b : the use or language of sarcasm <this is no time to indulge in sarcasm  |  IP: Logged Mike Olpin Chop Chop! Posts: 1852 From: Dallas, TX Registered: Jan 2002 posted 10-10-2003 04:54 AM                     But still... This film we need to be extra careful about. Not just checking tickets and id at the box and podium, but also at the auditorium entrance. This is not your usual r-rated film. This film could seriously corrupt young ones. (But it is a lot of fun for old ones!)  |  IP: Logged Brad Miller Administrator Posts: 17775 From: Plano, TX (36.2 miles NW of Rockwall) Registered: May 99 posted 10-10-2003 06:24 AM                     quote: There is more dead bodies (and body parts) in this film than all the films in the last decade combined. Sounds like someone is overexaggerating. Just how many people would you say there was in the big fight sequence in reel 5? Maybe 50 tops? Giving this all of maybe 1 minute to think about it: Rambo movies Schwarzenegger movies Any war movie (Saving Private Ryan comes to mind) Hong Kong action films (such as Hard Boiled) Titanic (think of all the people who drowned) Starship Troopers (gory too) Star Wars (all those poor people on Alderon, and rated PG to boot!) On the Line - starring Lance Bass (that was actual audience deaths, not on-screen deaths)  |  IP: Logged Ron Yost Master Film Handler Posts: 344 From: Paso Robles, CA Registered: Aug 2003 posted 10-10-2003 12:30 PM                     Rationalize it how you will, he's still a dick.

Be sure to look up the word rationalizing first. I made no comment toward anything other than a body count comparison. By the way, you don't need to put your name at the end of the posts. It's right there to the left on every post you make.  |  IP: Logged Travis Hubrig Expert Film Handler Posts: 175 From: Minot ND, USA Registered: May 2003 posted 10-10-2003 04:43 PM                     Why exactly is he a dick??? He makes some of the most original movies ever made... I think he is genius.  |  IP: Logged Michael Schaffer "Where is the Boardwalk Hotel?"

That's completely irresponsible, IMHO. Adults can do whatever they want. I'm an older guy, not in to blood and gore under any guise. There's nothing at all cool, funny, enjoyable, sarcastic or ingenious about violence and gratuitous blood-letting to me. I saw enough of the real thing in Vietnam. Brad .. how about equate or justify, then. Better words than rationalize, tho it still applies, IMHO. I'm fully aware of the meaning of the words I use, thank you very much.

There are LOTS of movies being made that are designed for adult audiences and that is just his one opinion of the age that is suitable. Obviously the MPAA did not agree.  |  IP: Logged Phil Hill I love my cootie bug Posts: 7595 From: Hollywood, CA USA Registered: Mar 2000 posted 10-10-2003 07:31 PM                  I agree with Travis. Tarantino is one of my favorite writer/director. The real Ass POS is Jimmy Kimmel. "From Dusk Till Dawn" "Four Rooms" "Pulp Fiction" ('Surf Rider' is a GREAT tune!) "Reservoir Dogs" Are some of my favorite films. Ron: See Mike's explanation of sarcastic humor. OBTW, I too saw a lot of the real thing in Vietnam, but I certainly don't use that as a rationalization for disliking "violent movies". I mean, after all, they are really cool! (That last line was sarcastic humor for those that don't get it.) >>> Phil  |  IP: Logged Dennis Benjamin Phenomenal Film Handler Posts: 1445 From: Denton, MD Registered: Feb 2002 posted 10-10-2003 10:49 PM                        I was kinda over-doing it there huh? But there is way more blood than a lot of movies...  |  IP: Logged Jason Black Phenomenal Film Handler Posts: 1723 From: Myrtle Beach, SC, USA Registered: Nov 2000 posted 10-10-2003 11:13 PM                        Michael, I understand the concept of sarcasm. Might I ask, did you, by chance, see the interview? If not, then don't comment, as you know not the tone nor manner in which the comment was spoken. And, for the record, I'm not being sarcastic. We had no real problems with kids sneaking in tonight, but we have wknd security and a pretty tight set of cashiers. I wrote the post as he was speaking the words, so maybe I came off a bit brazen, but yet I am still very vocal about any director/producer/distributor making a film obviously targeted for an older audience then stating that kids should sneak in! AT least with the 3rd installment of Scary Movie they had wisened up and gone with a 13 rating, as opposed to the traditional R. I think the film will make much more money and we'll have fewer refunds due to kids getting someone else to buy the tickets only to be carded again at the door. I said he was a dick. I stand by the comment. I stated my reason in the first post so feel free to scroll right back up to the top for clarification should the need arise.. Make note that I also said he was a very talented dick, but a dick none the less.. I guess I should stop with the 'D' word, lest Phil get all excited and be overcome (pun intended) with joy.  |  IP: Logged Dustin Mitchell Phenomenal Film Handler Posts: 1865 From: Mondovi, WI, USA Registered: Mar 2000 posted 10-11-2003 01:26 AM                     Tarantino made the same encouragement to youth in Great Britain. There the film has a rating of 18 and anyone below that age cannot see it, even if there parents go with them. The posters in this thread who are calling Tarantino a dick are doing so because he is undermining the very ratings system that we are trying to enforce. Our job enforcing the rating system is hard wnough without the writer/director of a film encouraging people to ignore the very same rating system.  |  IP: Logged
