I do! It stinks!
Jon Lovitz has all the time in the world!
FOX and ABC did pretty well turning it into an animated series, dude
You could probably make a really sweet and poignant movie about Siskel and Ebert.
They made an animated series about one. Why not just take inspiration from that?
Mister America is about a movie critic
Give everyone what they want and make kill bill vol 3

That’s what I was most excited about though.
Reservoir Cats has entered the chat
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.
Good. Make the last installment of Kill Bill instead and focus the story around BB and Nikia. A revenge story through and through.
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.
Make another movie about killer cowboy ninjas, you lazy dog!
If Tarantino makes a movie about a turnip I’d like to see it
I would have liked to have seen it Quentin.
Just do Kill Bill/Kill Bea 3 and call it a day.
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
Make vega boys but as a graphic novel
Tbh that’s exactly what I thought when I heard what it was about lol
Dear Quentin:
Your self-imposed career film limit is dumb.
Thank you, have a nice day.
>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.
Wasn’t Hauser cast as the lead? Would’ve been cool.
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
So now he’ll never retire.
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.

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 🙂
Didn’t he write it?
He already gave us possibly the only movie-critic character who was actually cool.
Is he asking me directly? Because I’m saying yes.
“Who wants to see a movie about a fucking movie critic”
Well, according to the first reupload of Kickassia that I found, 892000.
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.
