I know nothing about Tarrantino's personal life, but damn if he didn't seem coked up for that interview.

I have seen quite a few interviews and Tarantino is always an excited , over the top guy. Its like he's got 1,000+ emotions and words running out

[Moose100]

Yknow what seriously that interviewer is a pompous douchebag. He was outright disrespectful and came in there with a bone to pick. When someone goes off like that you did something wrong.


Outside of that I applaud Tarantino for his courage. This movie is a fantasy with slavery as the backdrop. I applaud him for willingly sparking a conversation.

Marvel’s AKA Jessica Jones Could Find New Home, Producer Says

However, once she settles in, she discovers her services are sought by clients with superhero connections. Melissa Rosenberg, best known for her work on the Twilight franchise and Showtime’s Dexter, had said her pilot script included Luke Cage and Carol Danvers in prominent supporting roles.

Marvel’s corporate sibling, Rosenberg told IGN it may be better suited for cable television. “I don’t know if it’s an ABC show,” she said. “It might be a cable show, really. The graphic novel is the first one that Marvel did that was meant to serve an adult audience. I toned it down a little bit for network, but it’s very, very easy to translate that into cable. Very easy. God I love that project [...] it’s one of my favorite things that I’ve ever written.”

2.1 rating for 18-49 adults-ONLY NCSI & NCSI: LA was higher in terms of all tv and that is saying a lot with who else was on at the time.

[Ballard Blues]

I'm gonna leave this here.... Feel free to enjoy, or rage. I raged but whatever.

Well, that was a weird but entertaining interview. Quentin handled himself alright on the issue of the 'conversation of racism'... then the interviewer tried to hammer "A Question of Violence" issue on him.

because Kevin Hart is popular. the original shorts that sparked the show were funnier, but as a parody, it captures the essence of The Real Housewives/Mob wives/Basketball Wives/Ex-Wives of ____/etc

[Froggy]

kevin hart is a funny dude
and it was a great premier

second generation wayans, ehhhhh, and Junior (George O. Gore II) didn't look good

My girl is a die hard Kevin Hart fan and she said it was great( and she hates BET ), I haven't seen it yet but it's still on the dvr( I assume the entire season will be until the dvd release

Life of Pi was very, VERY good; and I would recommend everyone see it. From Ang Lee (the only non-Caucasian to win Best Director at the Oscars) it focuses on a young Indian man (Suraj Sharma)'s struggle for survival in the ocean... with only a Bengal tiger for company. Nominated for a staggering 11 Oscars; this film is just beautiful. It's funny, it's moving, and it was described as "unfilmable" for years. Ang Lee proved them ALL wrong! I am very sad Irrfan Khan ONCE AGAIN failed to bag any major nominations for his excellent low-key performance (over-looked for Slumdog Millionaire (2008) also); though Best Supporting Actor was a tough category to get in this year (even Leo failed to do it). I would love it to win Best Director (could this be the dark horse to topple Spielberg?) and Best Adapted Screenplay (as I said... "unfilmable"); but I'm mostly hoping it gets a clean sweep in Editing, Sound Mixing, Sound Editing, and Visual Effects. WHY was it not up for Best Make-up? Pi's water-logged damaged skin looked very real.

Byrne's art is always stunning. Ill give this a look.

I read the book, and knew Ang would be perfect for directing this--Havent seen it yet...usually I wait for the Oscar consideration DVD my neighbor gets.

If you have a great T.V., do watch it; but if not I would recommend the cinema (just for the 3D). I don't like 3D, except when done by one of the greats. I loved Hugo (2011) and would put Life of Pi (2012) in the same list.

Byrne's always had a good feel for "hard SF" even when doing stuff like Fantastic Four or Green Lantern, whatever else his issues are.

I picked up this issue. A very good read.

I'm on board for now.
