I could listen to Tarantino talk about any movie for hours on end.

[@erict.7647]

Check out his audiobook!

[@davidbreen4830]

He could listen to himself talking about movies for hours on end.

[@clairelodge72]

This is rhe most film-bro channel ever

[@careyatchison1348]

The 'Big Trouble' comment! Yes! I watched that movie completely dead pan until that spit take scene and then I like to fall on the ground laughing. I've never experienced a movie with only one scene that made me laugh but that one scene was my 'krakatoa' moment!

[@argentokaos2629]

All roads lead to Cassavetes. And, yes, leave it to QT to bring up the JC movie you either don't remember--- or don't wanna remember. :D Rest in peace, Gena.

[@Oldaccount77777]

Quentin’s perspective is so unique that I’ll listen to him discuss movies I’ve never even seen.

[@lostcauselancer333]

I only click on thumbnails with shirtless guys, but I’m totally straight.

[@ramcharger154]

I'll be faggy wit u tonight 😂❤

[@gjonesx7]

I can't give you anything but love babyyyyy

[@mrpudda12]

I love the spit take by Kurt Russell in Death Proof!

[@TTM9691]

I have to confess, I just figured Tarantino hated Cassavettes! This is a real pleasure to hear! Which scene is he talking about? Where he was trying to write in the style of Cassavettes?

[@ramcharger154]

QT has some good comical wit sometimes 😂😂❤

[@jeffkantoku]

What QT film is Tarantino talking about when he said he was attempting to write a Cassavetes improv dialogue scene on paper?

[@BartT75]

Probably Pulp Fiction. QT was all over Europe in '92 touring Reservoir Dogs (and enjoying his new global notoriety) and was writing segments of Pulp throughout; which is why Amsterdam provides subtext across characters.

[@DIOBrando-ij2bp]

I can’t remember, but he is talking to Elvis Mitchell in that bit. He’s got a few interviews with Mitchell.

[@colevinceman]

What is the Cassavettes-inspired “big, improvisational set piece” Tarantino wrote?

[@doctordank]

Yea, I'm curious what, specifically, he was referring to.

[@colevinceman]

@@doctordank found this in a Vanity Fair article titled Cinema Tarantino: The Making of Pulp Fiction Later, still on the way to the contract killing, Vincent and Jules discuss at length Mia Wallace and how her barbarous husband threw a gangster off a fourth-floor balcony for giving her a foot massage. A John Cassavetes retrospective Tarantino had attended in Paris inspired that seemingly improvisational scene. “The way they talk around what they’re doing,” he explains. “I was like, Can I get that kind of thing going on the page? My attempt to do that is the entire scene of Jules and Vincent with the yuppies and the briefcase.”

[@doctordank]

@@colevinceman awesome, thank you!

[@ThePeteFace]

Scagnetti on Scagnetti

[@noklarok]

he should make that movie :)

[@rabbieburns2501]

made a GIF of the spit take by Alan Arkin .. it deserved it!

[@mrfugazi1181]

It's a common misconception to think that the scenes in Cassavetes' films are the result of improvisations in front of the camera. In fact, the only movie where that happens is Shadows. It was all scripted.

[@malibrary7053]

It’s scripted but the camera is improvising.

[@WalterBurton]

👍👍👍

[@JoanneBeck-r6w]

His son is a good director too

[@redheadboyyy123]

My dp professor would HATE this video😅😂

[@ramcharger154]

double penetration??😂😂❤

[@CP-gg1ke]

"doesn't have strong cinematography"

[@dam00k]

Weird to think Falk was a big deal, makes it easier to understand why a spit take of sardine liqueur could be a career highlight.

[@iammraat3059]

He was an interesting actor

[@deakensomoza3305]

Quentin Tarantino on Ratatouille (2007)?

[@MKatMidnight]

Hello, thank so much for the suggestion! At this time, we were unable to locate any public comments that Quentin Tarantino has made regarding ‘Ratatouille’, but when/if he does we would be happy to consider making a video highlighting it! Sincerely, The James Whale Bake Sale Team

[@WalterBurton]

_Big Trouble_ got good reviews, contemporaneous with its release? 🤔😬
