This
news item contains both the BEST and WORST aspects of
the Internet. As of now, this is only a rumor, but apparently
writer/director extraordinaire Quentin Tarantino has finally taken a
liking to the Internet and opened up his own blog diary, in which he
responds to everyone's emails and keep folks up to date on his life
and projects. That said, and before you check it out believing that
it is, in fact, 100% Quentin Tarantino, we have yet to confirm this
fact, despite the person responding on the blog, sounding a whole
lot like him (folks
on our board are debating the issue right here) By the way, he
supposedly has an "editor" typing everything for him,
which would explain the perfect spelling/grammar (for which Quentin
is not well known)
I have contacted Miramax to find out whether or not this site is
really QT or not, and will hopefully get back to you with a concrete
answer by the end of the day. Until then, try to figure it out on
your own. Like I said before, the Internet is a great place when it
wants to be, allowing major players in the industry to communicate
freely and directly with their fanbase, but on the other hand, it
can also be quite dangerous, since the anonymity of it all, can
easily lead fakes to pretend to be other people, etc... Click below
to check out the BLOG for yourself and read some of the quotes from
his site below (from either the "real" or "fake"
Quentin Tarantino)

In terms of the KILL BILL Special Edition commentary track:
"But KILL BILL...I couldn't get out
of doing a commentary on this one because they said without it the
Special Edition would just look like a stupid marketing scheme,
since the original DVDs had no commentaries, just making-ofs, a
deleted scene, trailers, and other small features. So like for the
new DVD set it's gonna be jam-packed. Despite rumors there won't be
five editions of KILL BILL out by December. This special bootleg
version with commentary, docs, etc. will be the ultimate version and
will be sold in the Quentin Tarantino Collection (due out in
November/December)."
In terms of KILL BILL: VOLUME III:
"So I'm sitting here thinking,
"Fuck, if I could, I would," and I'd like to make it my
DOLLARS TRILOGY, but I don't think it's a realistic possibility at
this point, alright. If I did make it it would be years and years
from now (like 14 or 15) and the plot would be about Vivica Fox's
daughter seeking revenge on The Bride, after she killed her mother.
It's cool because that scene where she kills her in front of the
girl in KILL BILL seemed sort of open to expansion. But by then Uma
would be a lot older. I'd be a lot older. It would have nothing to
do with killing Bill. It could be called KILL BRIDE but that's
fucking corny. By then I'll be lucky to still have a job, and nobody
will give a rat's ass about KILL BILL anymore (or, if I'm lucky,
it'll just be a fond memory).
If I get the chance...fuck yeah I'd do it...but basically right now
I've got my whole career for the next twenty years planned out. I
want to take my time with directorial projects. I don't want to be
taking on two fucking movies a year like Spielberg did after he sold
out, alright. That isn't me. I want to keep the same quality going
so in the next twenty years I'll be lucky to make five or six
movies. I want to go out in glory. KILL BILL 3 might be a good
bookend to my directorial career but chances are slim that it would
ever actually happen. Uma hasn't really shown interest (we talked
briefly about it a few weeks ago). I think she's past that shit now
and I don't blame her. I love KILL BILL but the question is...in 15
years will I still want to be making it? Will Uma? Will I wanna risk
fucking up the first two? Hell no. So we'll see where this shit
goes."
What do you think about CGI and LOTR?
"I fucking despise CGI. If I wanted
that shit in movies I wouldn't be watching movies -- videogames are
fun because they're interactive, at least. Movies packed with CGI is
just lame. Ain't no fucking fun watching cheap-ass Hobbits jumping
about in front of lava. Sorry, LORD OF THE RINGS was another
forgettable CGI-enhanced flick as far as I'm concerned. I don't
respect CGI in movies because it's not a tool anymore -- it's a
convenience. Fat bastards are able to sit in their chairs and edit
movies now at the touch of a button. Too bad the fucking graphics
look shittier than my Nintendo."
