This is old news but still incredible. The whole interview is interesting but he really starts douching at 4:25

I'd be annoyed too if people constantly asked me if my art was contributing to the downfall of society.

You should stop at Jackie Brown, it's all down hill after that. Dude has resigned himself to making over the top revenge porn.
In the making of Kill Bill he forced the actors to watch FLCL and he would also take pictures with dildos on them if they fell asleep.

That isn't what the guy was asking and Tarantino's reaction was not merited at all.

Would not calling indian action films... Terrible.. Not be in the same boat?
Who cares? I saw this interview a couple days ago. Fucking funny. I like when people high up show confidence instead of being bland and trying to pander to everyone.

Do we have another Wittertainment fan in the building??
As much as I love him, he did overreact a bit, but it's understandable: he keeps getting that question a lot. Always the same thing. It can get frustrating. He just wants to talk about the film.
Pretend not to care about anything, but be bothered by everything.
You may be fast on the roads but it's no use on the track.
I like to think he's not actually mad but likes to flip the fuck out on random people for fun because he can get away with it.
You look nice today.
This guy brutally sodomizes me.
Cereal is pretty cool. If you're cool you'll add me on Steam. Also, Letterboxd.
Why is this guy trying to talk to Quentin Tarantino like he's some profound intellectual? He makes gory movies because they're exciting to watch...and doesn't really claim to be anything else.
Quentin Tarantino just got pissed this guy was just pressing him the whole time. Obviously the guy's black and is insinuating like this movie is gonna cause some kind of race war. Like did the slave really need violent revenge? Uh...that's the plot of the movie....Seriously after that starts asking him "oh don't you think violent people like your movies too?" He obviously just didn't wanna start with that debate again.
I give him props, he wanted an interview not someone to ask him a bunch of stupid "We can talk about this for hours" questions that he's talked about a million times just so they can boost ratings.
Bro he may be an ass in one sitdown chitchat interview doesnt mean change his rep bro. Admit his movies are gold bro.

The reporter was insisting too much and insinuating that Tarantino is partially responsible for violence like high school shootings and stuff (along with all other producers of violent TV/films/video games/whatever).
Tarantino has explained his viewpoint on this thought often already, but the reporter wouldn't let it go. It gives the impression that the interviewer was trying to propagate the typical soccer mom point of view that there's a link between violence on TV and violence in real life. A link that's never really been proven so far.
So can you imagine why Tarantino got a little annoyed? I think I would've been annoyed as well.
He goes overboard but for a good reason. He was invited to talk about his movie, not how violence in movies affect society at large. It's not his job know, and that's not why he came to be interviewed. He just wanted to talk about his movie, he told the interviewer that was why he was here, and still the interviewer kept pushing him on subject though it was clear Tarantino was not interested in discussing it.
This is where I wrote something funny
He's probably, like many, sick of hearing the dead argument that media causes violence. The fact that this is even debated and brought up any more is absolutely ridiculous.

I've followed his work for most of my life. He's done some incredible films and he's done some horrible films, I would say the good outweighs the bad.
But the guy comes off as a total narcissist and is constantly strokes himself in interviews. Even before this meltdown he says how he's started a "conversation about slavery" because no one is talking about it, as if no one has EVER talked about it in a serious manner. That's pretty arrogant.
Of course Tarantino will always have zombie fan boys who make excuses for his behavior and his films..

That's fine, but his reaction was completely unjustified. "I'm not your slave and you're not my master!" Seriously? The interviewer wasn't "aggressively pushing" the question and was trying to be civil about the whole thing. Anyone who denies that is delusional.

I understand Tarantino's frustration with being asked that kind of question, but I think he could have been a lot more tactful.

Well... that escalated quickly...
Tarantino does seem a bit twisted, but he does make great movies. I guess partial insanity is a base for creative thinking. Most great actors are pretty strange too.

Nobody is interviewing you for 20 years and asking you the seem questions over and over again.
Oh boo hoo. So what? No reason to act like that.

He reacted exactly how he should have, and you're ignorant.
Oh poor celebrity who has to sit in an interview and for 90% of the time be fawned over and ass kissed. I feel SO bad for him, he's totally justified in blowing up over nothing.
He reacted like a child, and you're a fan boy.
Nobody can fuck with Tarantino, let's leave it at that.

Being a "celebrity" implies a lot of negative attention and negative critics. It's not all glorious and shiny like you pretend it to be. What we are trying to say is that yes, he might have over-reacted, but it's not "over nothing". An interviewer should do his job properly, and that includes doing some research on the matter before doing the interview. Ok ?

I like that line. It's just like saying "I have very little confidence in my argument, so here's an insult. So if I fail to win this debate, I will at least win in the intimidation department and nobody will notice I'm a douche."

I must be a fan boy. Oh boy.. I don't dislike his movies, but I don't entirely love Tarantino either. So get off it.
Oh, but I'm "ignorant" because I disagree with you even though I gave perfectly acceptable reasoning as to why. Sound logic..
So for anyone to judge anyone else at anytime is plainly an exercise in jerking themselves off.
So I'd be really beating my meat if I said that Hitler fellow might have been a little out of line. Hmm.

Do some research? He clearly admitted he was a fan and along with talking about the film wanted to have a discussion about violence and movies. He went about the entire thing very professionally. Why is it this guy's fault that Tarantino is insecure about past statements?

Right, because that guy didn't throw a jab at me in the text I quoted. But only I'm the douche. Gotcha ;)
