[quote=“moura”]Quentin will be on charlie rose tomorrow…ive been waiting for this interview for a long time…[/quote]
Yeah, it’s going to be great, especially because they have talked quite a bit about IB already.
has anyone seen his charlie rose interview? I dont have PBS here in brazil, so im still waiting for them to post it on the internet, wich I think they will be doing pretty soon
I just watched the Charlie Rose interview, and like the other Charlie Roses interviews, it was for a lack of a better term awesome. Like always Quentin really opens up they way he usually does when he respects the interviewer. It was really great because I went to the 9:40 showing and did not get home until 1:30 and the the show just got over. So all I had to do was turn to the trusty tivo and hit play. You got to respect modern technology.

I guess this is the place to ask this…
I’ve been wondering who did the voice for the General on the phone with Brad Pitt near the end. I think I recognize the voice. It sounds like Ed Harris. Anyone know who it was???
I think it’s Harvey Keitel. Someone could confirm that?
It is Harvey Keitel, his voice is so recognizable.
Don’t know if anyone posted this already, here’s the interview from Sight and Sound, it’s really great:
http://www.bfi.org.uk/sightandsound/feature/49565
The film was great and Hans Lander hass to be the greatest role Quentin has written well after Jules… I can’t tell if it was Quentin’s writing or Waltz’s acting but it was just amazing…
ATTENTION:
QUENTIN is on CONAN TONIGHT! 8)
That is all.

interesting article. i’m quoted in it a bit… what do u think?[/quote]
The article seems fairly incoherent to me. Like this part:
[quote]And while Tarantino used to be considered a kinetic, fast-paced filmmaker, much of Basterds is deliberately paced, with stately camerawork and carefully composed shots; fast cutting and slow motion are mostly used for brief scenes of violence.[/quote]
When, exactly, has Tarantino been a “kinetic, fast-paced filmmaker” in the way those terms are defined here? Where’s all the fast-cutting in Reservoir Dogs and Pulp Fiction? Careful composition and long dialogue sequences were the hallmark of those movies as well. Kill Bill Vol. 1 is definitely kinetic and fast-paced in its editing, but I don’t think his other films can be described that way.
This part doesn’t make much sense to me either:
[quote]The most surprising thing about Inglourious Basterds is that for a director who used to epitomize the future of moviemaking, Tarantino now seems like an Old Hollywood director. Whereas Pulp Fiction used a series of time jumps, making non-linear storytelling the norm for independent filmmakers, Inglourious Basterds tells its story, about two different groups of people plotting to destroy a movie theatre where high-ranking Nazis are attending a premiere, in a very linear way.[/quote]
Non-linearity for its own sake–which seems to be the the way this article understands it–is not what interests QT about that technique. As he put it in a recent TV interview, his preference is to have the story unfold gradually, as opposed to setting up a premise in the first 15-20 minutes and then spending the rest of the film delivering on it. Pulp Fiction does that by spinning around the same set of characters to give you little parts of their stories in different order; IB does it in a different way, by establishing each set of characters separately before bringing them all together.
My point is, IB’s approach isn’t any more “Old Hollywood” than PF’s is. I’ve seen more than enough old Hollywood movies to know that IB’s structure–three separate chapters with minimal overlap that all build to the same climax–is not at all typical of classic Hollywood (nor, really, is it typical of current day films). QT didn’t invent non-linear storytelling with PF, but just because it seemed more unusual at the time than IB’s structure does now doesn’t mean that QT is getting “old” or “stale” or whatever the article is trying to say.
A nice by-the-chapters deconstruction of IB by Jim Emerson from rogerebert.com:
