It’s been a while since we’ve had the (ahem) pleasure of seeing Quentin Tarantino act. I never got to see his turn in SUKIYAKI WESTERN DJANGO and I’m still trying to forget about “Warren” in GRINDHOUSE. But if you want to remind yourself, Tarantino has filmed a recent commercial for Japanese cell phone company SoftBank. I don’t speak Japanese but from what I’ve gathered, there’s a family where the father is a Hokkaido-ken dog and the brother is an African-American and their wacky neighbor is Tarantino who plays “Uncle Tara,” a samurai-loving, kimono-wearing dude who spits out fake Japanese phrases like “samurai spirit-ah!” It has to be seen to be believed.
