I will become a director. What are we filming? A vivid erotic fantasy in which a group of normal but interesting and emotionally stable people show up, reliably, to a weekly tabletop RPG night.

[–] The_Picard_Maneuver@startrek.website 89 points 2 years ago (1 children)

That is a dirty and farfetched fantasy right there.

[–] Gradually_Adjusting@lemmy.world 29 points 2 years ago (3 children)

The public doesn't know how much they want escapist entertainment about escapism. It's fresh, it's meta, it's a billion dollars in the bank.

Totally unfilmable though. Drat.

Do the actors need to be emotionally stable and have any experience with real tabletop RPG or can I sign up?

[–] Gradually_Adjusting@lemmy.world 11 points 2 years ago (1 children)

We're looking to cast all method actors.

Actually the story goes different. There was no foot tequila scene planned, but Salma Hayek improvised it. It's possible that with this scene, Salma Hayek started it all for Tarantino and his feet obsession

Photo taken of Tarantino watching the dailies from that days shoot:

Did she know or did she just guess lucky? Or, did she unleash a kink? No kink shaming. Let the man love feet. Just not mine.

[–] ivanafterall@kbin.social 40 points 2 years ago (3 children)

He already loves your feet and there's nothing you can do about it.

Speaking of feet, in my last movie, there was this new assistant director who was only there for a day and we spent that whole day shooting the "heels touch the ground" scene. Of course, we used the footage for the movie, but it's so weird that nobody seem to know who he is, and he never showed up on set again.

But now that I think about it, he DOES kind of look like Tarantino...

[–] Alpharius@lemmy.dbzer0.com 76 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Tarantino will just make some of the best movies you ever watched just to film someone's feet or say the nword.

[–] The_Picard_Maneuver@startrek.website 36 points 2 years ago (2 children)

His movies are fantastic, so I support giving him as long a leash as he wants.

[–] CitizenKong@lemmy.world 32 points 2 years ago (2 children)

He's probably also into that.

It was distracting how many feet shots there were in Once Upon a Time in Hollywood

Bet it took a few takes too lol

[–] CMDR_Horn@lemmy.ml 27 points 2 years ago

The commercial where the nerd kid made out with the supermodel took ~30 takes.

[–] Rubanski@lemm.ee 18 points 2 years ago

Kubrick level of retakes most likely

[–] MonsiuerPatEBrown@reddthat.com 41 points 2 years ago

He loves to go on about the differences between directors and writer-directors.

Seems pretty obvious from here, Mr. Tarantino

[–] Utter_Karate@hexbear.net 37 points 2 years ago (1 children)

I wonder how many times he could have gone "And then she makes me suck her feet again" in the script before someone intervened.

Feel like he's no more problematic than he always has been. Watching all the Chappelles of the world aging poorly, Tarantino has said some surprisingly progressive shit in my minimal biased experience

[–] Zormat@lemmy.blahaj.zone 31 points 2 years ago (1 children)

I might just be in denial, but I've always felt like Tarantino's problematicity was overblown

In a world of literal rapists, it's easier to give him a pass.

Dusk Till Dawn is amazing because for like an hour it's just a kinda normal hostage/crime movie, then it's very suddenly vampires

Yeah, it was a shock the first time I saw it

[–] blindbunny@lemmy.ml 26 points 2 years ago (3 children)

I mean do you blame the guy? It's Salma Hayek. It's not what I would have wrote. But it's what he wrote.

[–] MargotRobbie@lemm.ee 36 points 2 years ago (1 children)

I mean do you blame the guy?

Yes.

There was actually a typo, the script said "raising a toast with tequila"

Wait, was that Tarantino? TIL

[–] The_Picard_Maneuver@startrek.website 15 points 2 years ago (1 children)
[–] Mothra@mander.xyz 25 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Well. Hats off to him, he didn't just go for his dreams, he went for his fantasy... And got it

[–] The_Picard_Maneuver@startrek.website 33 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Hats off to him

Also shoes

[–] Mothra@mander.xyz 12 points 2 years ago

If he pays me like Salma Hayek - or even a fraction, I'm not picky- sure, shoes off too!

[–] HawlSera@lemm.ee 22 points 2 years ago (1 children)

I mean I'd write a scene where my character was sat on by a black bbw if it were my movie.

I hate Tarantino's movies (Resevoir Dogs and Dusk Til Dawn being the exceptions) but I respect this level of being unashamed

[–] w2tpmf@lemmy.world 12 points 2 years ago (3 children)

To be pedantic, Dusk till Dawn isn't one of Tarantino's movies. It's one of Rodriguez's movie staring and written by Tarantino.

You can’t convince me this guys love for Sharon Tate didn’t stem directly from her reportedly never wearing shoes.

cringe Tarantino always writes himself a role so he can say the n word or get feet pics of attractive actresses
