  1. FOX and ABC did pretty well turning it into an animated series, dude

  2. You could probably make a really sweet and poignant movie about Siskel and Ebert.

  3. They made an animated series about one. Why not just take inspiration from that?

  4. Give everyone what they want and make kill bill vol 3

  5. > Because It ‘Was Too Much Like’ ‘Once Upon a Time in Hollywood’

    That’s what I was most excited about though.

  6. Tarantino needs to write a fucked up adaptation of Cinderella—he’ll probably use the “Ashputtel” name—and cast himself as the guy trying the glass slipper on all the women in the kingdom.

  7. Good. Make the last installment of Kill Bill instead and focus the story around BB and Nikia. A revenge story through and through.

  8. I could write novels about how I would write and plan a movie about Siskel and Ebert or even Armond White. Unfortunately I have to live knowing that Doug Walker somehow has already proved Tarantino wrong.

  9. Make another movie about killer cowboy ninjas, you lazy dog!

  10. If Tarantino makes a movie about a turnip I’d like to see it

  11. If he was excited about it im sure it would have been cool. The man doesnt miss, even his worse movies are still a pretty great watch at least once

  12. Tbh that’s exactly what I thought when I heard what it was about lol

  13. Dear Quentin:

    Your self-imposed career film limit is dumb.

    Thank you, have a nice day.

  14. >It ‘Was Too Much Like’ ‘Once Upon a Time in Hollywood’

    Okay, so a Tarantino movie?! I’m pretty sure a lot of people want to see that.

  15. Wasn’t Hauser cast as the lead? Would’ve been cool.

  16. I still wish they let him do a star trek movie. Would have been better than any trek put out in the last 25 years

  17. I think he’s missing a good science fiction movie, put Brad Pitt on Mars, pistols are the weapon of choice, Dicaprio is the incompetent President of Mars, who’s paying Pitt to Haunt down and kill the leader of the revolutionaries who’s played by Maya Hawk who’s an ancestor of Beatrix from Kill Bill.

  19. Good!

    I was really looking forward to a new Tarantino movie until I heard it was about a movie critic . That didn’t sound particularly compelling and I’m glad he woke up to that 🙂

  20. He already gave us possibly the only movie-critic character who was actually cool.

  21. “Who wants to see a movie about a fucking movie critic”

    Well, according to the first reupload of Kickassia that I found, 892000.

  22. His final movie should be about Jules walking the earth. He could shoehorn in pretty much every character from the Tarantino-verse, given this premise.
