BUT WAIT! Quentin Tarantino’s ‘THE HATEFUL EIGHT’ could still happen.

Quentin Tarantino

Good! Good!, I say. Quentin Tarantino’s The Hateful Eight could still happen. Was it last week when Tarantino was threatened to take his ball and go home after the script leaked? Or two weeks ago? Whatever the case. I can understand being furious but don’t cut your nose to spite your face, bro! #thatclichelife

Quentin Tarantino is suing Gawker for pimping ‘THE HATEFUL EIGHT’ script

Tarantino.

My inconsistency is demanded by the chemistry of my neurological processes. I promise. ‘Cause last week I thought it was ludicrous that Tarantino was shelving an entire film because the script leaked. Now I’m completely on board this week when news drops that the auteur (yeah, I said it!) is suing Gawker.

Quentin Tarantino POSTPONES ‘THE HATEFUL EIGHT’ after script leak. C’mon broooo

Quentin Tarantino.

Sad guy Quentin Tarantino. Apparently his next project was (I didn’t know this) The Hateful Eight. However the script for that little ditty leaked, and now Tarantino has a case of the butt-hurts. Yup. He’s talking his cinematic ball home, and we can all get fucked! Seriously though — he is rocking the feint that he isn’t making Hateful Eight into a movie anymore. I don’t know, yo. I’m hard pressed to believe this.

Blurst of 2013 – The Faux Bot’s picks

eyescopy4

2013 is a landmark year for me in that it’s the first year on record where I am leaving it feeling genuinely bitter and downtrodden. Fuck 2013, man; full of disappointment, heartbreak and embarrassment. It’s the year in which I even turned my back on my beloved games industry, having to quit writing about it because I just couldn’t think of anything positive to say anymore.

Still, amongst the disappointment and fatigue, my natural optimism managed to shine through: finding joy in vinyl toys, the odd game, book or movie and of course plenty of good music. It wasn’t all bad, so let’s start off 2014 as I mean to go on – fucking pumped, bro! PROTEIN BRO!

QUENTIN TARANTINO announces his next movie is ANOTHER WESTERN. Yeehaw.

Quentin Tarantino.

Tarantino has announced the genre of his next flick, and it appears he’s going back to the days of gunslingers. I’m assuming. ‘Cause see I don’t know much about Westerns but I do know that there are probably gunslingers there. Right?

STAR WARS – Episode Awesome: A Newer Hope!

A Newer Hope

It’s a spectacular time to be a Star Wars fan.

George Lucas, perhaps after being visited by some benevolent omnidimensional sojourner, has sold his most beloved franchise. The moment that fans realized Lucas was finally out of the picture, we began to dream. To wonder. To flirt with the idea that the piss-taste that’s been lurking in our mouths since 2005 may very well be washed away. New Star Wars films could be treated with the respect they deserve.

So, what’ve we been promised thus far? A new trilogy. Kasdan and Kinberg. J.J. Abrams. Cameos from members of the original cast. The interest of Hollywood’s finest actors and directors and other personnel. Spin-off, stand-alone movies.

In short, we finally have a newer hope.

Yesterday’s confirmation of the stand-alone flicks was the final nail in the coffin for my cautious optimism. I am now, for the first time in years, reveling in full-on nerdlust at the thought of new Star Wars. And while I have quite a bit of faith that a new trilogy could be beyond excellent, I’ve always loved the idea of free-standing movies taking place within the galaxy that Uncle George introduced back in `77!

Join me as I take a moment to geek-out about the prospect of new Star Wars movies! I’m going to fanboy my way through some of the premises I’d like to see materialize, no doubt getting so excited that my retainer spills onto the keyboard and my Diet Shasta bubbles over. After you check out my ideas, hit up the comments section and describe what you’d like to see during our next voyages to a galaxy far, far away…

Punch it, Chewie!

Watch: Twenty years of Quinty Tarantino’s pop-culture references in five minutes. Reference GET!

Did you know Quentin Tarantino likes pop-culture references? Yup, it is true. I know this may shock you, but I promise. The only things he likes more than pop-culture references are gesticulating like a wild man, making excellent movies, and looking like a slob at his movie premieres. This right here is a collection of his pop-culture references across twenty goddamn years. Such a wunder-world simultaneously wows me, and at the same time makes me feel like a decaying slab of flesh.

Tarantino could make third alternate history movie ‘KILLER CROW’ featuring black US soldiers in 1944

There is a chance that Quinto ain’t done remaking history. In a new interview, the Man Who Shot Hitler 3,000 Times has spoken about a potential spin-off from Basterds that would feature a squad of black US soldiers in 1944.

QUENTIN TARANTINO wanted to make a LUKE CAGE movie. Oh, to dream.

Jesus Christ, this would have been perfect. Right after he was done announcing his arrival to the world with Reservoir Dogs, Tarantino had an adaptation in mind. That adaptation was none other than motherfucking Luke Cage, with the role being filled by Laurence Fishburne. Goddamn, if that wasn’t the perfect pairing. All in all, we can’t be too sad it never got done. Dude Tarantino went on to create some other, mildly outstanding movie instead. Pulp Fiction.
