69 characters = not nice

I shoulda said "138 characters - not nice," d'oh
even if Tarantino comes across as the overexcited-bordering-on-rude-nerd much of the time (cutting off the other participants and eating up a huge chunk of the time with his own anecdotes)
feel like Wright is a good partner to have on this, as he knows Tarantino well enough to chime in when necessary, and has enough of QT's respect that he's given his own time to talk. he's usually relaxed and chatty on PCP, not uptight-to-the-point-of-rude but I still expect him to talk for 3.5 of the four hours
(kudes to RC for posting, I was gonna link it once I've listened but that might take a few days)

I really enjoyed the three hour marathon on old British films, fast forwarded when a) Tarantino talks about his own movies (he talks about them wih the same fervour and IT'S SO AWESOME energy he brings to his fav films by others, it weirds me out) and when he talked about the Joker, as I fear being jokerfied and do not want to run the risk. Still, pretty fun to see these two grindhouse geeks go all Talking Pictures TV.

Edgar tweeted afterward that he once bought Quentin the complete Carry On box set, but Tarantino is scared to open it.

sic at 300 baud that’s an extra 4.5 seconds

(altho as always I applaud your stance)
QT should at least watch Carry on Screaming, which would sit p nicely on the Scorsese list (the cinematography on COS is by Alan Hume, who also shot things like Kiss of the Vampire for Hammer and Dr Terror's House of Horrors for Amicus, so visually the film is a perfect pastiche of the colour palette/values that Scorsese (rightly!) loves so much about Hammer, or Mario Bava).

I think he's scared to open it because he's afraid to die of laughter

Another 3.3 hours, but with more give and take: on PCP again, with QT and the two hosts talking through five picks each for great final films by directors.
the morbsbait here is Quentin saying that addressing how many filmmakers' final works - or decade - is terrible, in preparation, made him consider not making a tenth film before quitting... because Once Upon A Time In Hollywood would be such a great mic drop.

Has one of the host guys abandoned his shtick of going "I'm definitley with you on that, that's a great point" to every fucking thing QT says, even if he's directly disagreeing with him?
― Daniel_Rf, Friday, 4 June 2021 11:05 (two years ago) link
They're kinda like that most of the time anyway, nerds who don't want to have negativity in their show at all. But yes (I'm an hour in) you do need to apply a slight mental obsequity filter.

xpost Maybe the 20-hour version includes a segment on Chappaquiddick from a month earlier, with the Mod Squad saving not only Mary Jo Kopechne's life but Ted Kennedy's presidential aspirations.

Yeah, Edgar Wright and Empire podcast host dude were better at reigning Tarantino in a bit.
One concerning thing I've taken on from these podcasts is that QT praises scenes from his own movies with the same amount of energy and awe that he gives to his fav films by others - and I do think he's illuminating on those.
― Daniel_Rf, Friday, 4 June 2021 13:26 (two years ago) link
I'm not sure how he can top Once Upon a Time in Hollywood, makes sense he'd seriously consider stopping now.

― flappy bird, Friday, 4 June 2021 17:33 (two years ago) link
He referred to Once Upon a Time as the "climax" of his career, so I've been thinking his 10th & last will be smaller scale, maybe only half a dozen characters, limited setting(s). Can't do Kill Bill vol. 3 or his Wuxia movie or another Corbucci homage or the Vega Brothers. Only precedent in his career is Jackie Brown -- something like that, not an epic, just a kickass cool movie, maybe a little more muted. Because he's going to end before he hits 60, I also doubt his last film will be preoccupied with aging/friends and loved ones dying as so many final films do. Maybe it'll be closer to a stage play, leading him into the next phase of his career.

He has a point about directors' final films, and he's been saying this since at least Django press. I don't think he's going to make an 11th movie.
― flappy bird, Sunday, 6 June 2021 05:25 (two years ago) link
I can think of plenty of directors who had great final films, or that at least sustained quality.

Since he started going on podcasts, he's said that if he'd had them when he was 20 he'd never have made his own films. He now has a wife and kid, programs several dozen movies for audiences every month, is starting an archival blu-ray label, will soon see whether there's a commercial audience for his novels and/or film criticism, has not just plans but scripts for at least one TV series, plans for expanded or miniseries cuts of two of his features, will be solidly into his sixties by the end of a theoretical tenth feature's promotional cycle, and can go on podcasts whenever he likes. Getting easier to believe he'd stay quit now.

Plenty of aspects of his public behaviour can be obnoxious but this one is just heartening imo. He puts out movies he's happy with! He's only wrong about one of them.
― bobo honkin' slobo babe (sic), Sunday, 6 June 2021 05:33 (two years ago) link
A lot of the usual suspects when it comes to auteurs. I loved Saraband, Autumn Afternoon, the Sacrifice, Rouge, Voyage to India etc. Saw a few of Satyajit Ray’s last films recently and they are all really good, same for Takahata.
Maybe there’s a bunch of american filmmakers I am not thinking of, but on the top of my head, it isn’t the case for Ford, Sirk and Wilder. Cassavetes has a good example of a bad last film.
― Van Horn Street, Sunday, 6 June 2021 05:46 (two years ago) link
I'm actually stunned that Tarantino didn't mention Imitation to Life, that might be the best example, maybe he's not a fan.......? (somehow???)
I actually haven't seen 7 Women or Buddy, Buddy but their partisans are few... and, to QT's point, several of their preceding films were bad. Not even "bad," but Cheyenne Autumn is clearly no Liberty Valance, and no I don't think Fedora is good. Avanti! is already long in the tooth. All of these directors, Hawks too, never thought of retiring or giving up... Ford especially, who would've done a pilot in 1970 if not for his health.
― flappy bird, Sunday, 6 June 2021 06:21 (two years ago) link

Ford was almost 70 when he made Liberty Vallance and had made dozens and dozens of movies. He wouldn't have even made The Searchers if he had retired at the age Tarantino is now.
To be fair late work does tend to be a problem for the kind of genre directors I imagine are more on Tarantino's mind than, say, Satyajit Ray or Douglas Sirk - not many defenders of late period Corbucci, Argento, John Carpenter, Jack Hill. Fukusake had a late career renaissance I guess. Also these director's fortunes much more dependent on the whims of their respective industries.
― Daniel_Rf, Sunday, 6 June 2021 09:20 (two years ago) link
How many (healthy) career directors have announced that a film will be their last, and kept to that? Kieslowski and Tarr are the only ones coming to mind.

The great directors get great with age. Tarantino's two best movies are Jackie Brown and Hollywood, so I guess make of that what you well.
