Kill bill cast oi8/7/2023 ![]() And not that I cussed all the time, but when I was with other kids I cussed, all right. I was watching the greatest era of American movies ever known, and I was seeing them at that young age, and so, they were right. TARANTINO: I do think that to the other kids … I had my own problems, but to the other kids, because of all the movies I saw, I appeared sophisticated. That’s the point of the R rating.įrom left: Ronny Cox, Ned Beatty, Burt Reynolds and Jon Voight in ‘Deliverance,’ 1972/Everett CollectionĭEADLINE: Reading your book reminded me of the film education I got when my parents signed on for the launch of HBO, and I watched every R movie I could, and learned a lot. TARANTINO: You mean by the theater owners? No. Model Shop and Carnal Knowledge, Diary of a Mad Housewife.ĭEADLINE: Ever get turned away by some ticket taker who said, “I’m not letting a child come in and watch Deliverance”? I do go through a list of films that I saw that, to a 7-year-old, are completely dull. That’s not the only things I saw those were the things that I chose to write about.

He did say he would only ever shoot one if it can be done on film. Tarantino’s also keeping his multi-ep TV series plan quiet, the one he dropped on Elvis Mitchell. Now, the mission for this interview was not to get Tarantino to rehash controversies for soundbites - like answering yet again what he wished he could have done to stop Harvey Weinstein’s predatory path or talking about his next film (he seems to be wistful about continuing Brad Pitt’s Cliff Booth character, but maybe that is my own wish after reading how the character was fleshed out in that novelization, which makes you understand everything about his match with Bruce Lee and so much more). His film education began at age 7, when he quickly warmed to the violent R-rated movies he makes today. ![]() Quentin Tarantino’s second book, Cinema Speculation, is as hard to put down as his “novelization” of Once Upon a Time in Hollywood. ![]()
