what about independent spirit awards etc? i mean cant compare cannes to oscars, as clarence put it: ‘most of the movies that win oscars are geriatric coffee table shit’. or something like that, whereas cannes is more genuine.
oh, godards just slammed him in another new interview (the ‘he should pay me’ quote was from years ago). his new movie sounds excellent though

Nor is Godard especially flattering about the legions of admirers who make reference to him in their own movies or even name their companies after him. Quentin Tarantino, for example, calls his production company A Band Apart, in deference to Godard’s 1964 classic, Bande àPart. “He says he admires me, but that’s not true,” Godard muses, then makes a cryptic remark about the torture and humiliation of prisoners by US guards in Iraq. “What is never said about Tarantino is that those prisons we are shown pictures of, where the torture is taking place, are called “reservoir dogs”. I think the name is very appropriate.”

what the fuck is THAT supposed to mean?! to be fair to quentin, it seems from every interview with him ive read that godards hates most movies
