I will become a director. What are we filming? A vivid erotic fantasy in which a group of normal but interesting and emotionally stable people show up, reliably, to a weekly tabletop RPG night.
That is a dirty and farfetched fantasy right there.
The public doesn’t know how much they want escapist entertainment about escapism. It’s fresh, it’s meta, it’s a billion dollars in the bank.
Totally unfilmable though. Drat.
This is not a new concept!
It’s not old hat in Hollywood until it’s been done to death, so no worries there.
IT BROKE NEW GROUND
Do the actors need to be emotionally stable and have any experience with real tabletop RPG or can I sign up?
We’re looking to cast all method actors.
I do meth all the time, but I usually don’t OD.
I’ve been trying to figure out how to get friends to commit. I think a good thing to try would be to get people to commit for, say, 4 sessions over two months. Enough for a small story arc. Then renew after that. Much easier to get buy in (or just schedule four dates right away) rather than commit to a specific day every other week belonging to them potentially forever, especially when some friends may live far away or have varying schedules.
Start off with a one-shot. Premade characters, simple mission, no witnesses.
They eventually ask for another, so you run a second one with a cliffhanger ending. They ask for a follow-up. The hooks are in.
Nah, I wanna do something more episodic. 90% self contained episodes with small tie ins between them that can be summarized quickly.
I applaud that, actually. Serialisation is like gravity, nobody should applaud when the writer gives in to it.
Just know that if your players aren’t onboard with that, it’ll be difficult to maintain.
You would end up doing the The Room.
I did not crit her I DID NAAAAAHT
If you cast Salma Hayek as my costar, I suppose I’d take the role.
Cut up some magazines and you got a vision board goin
Actually the story goes different. There was no foot tequila scene planned, but Salma Hayek improvised it. It’s possible that with this scene, Salma Hayek started it all for Tarantino and his feet obsession
Photo taken of Tarantino watching the dailies from that days shoot:
Did she know or did she just guess lucky? Or, did she unleash a kink? No kink shaming. Let the man love feet. Just not mine.
He already loves your feet and there’s nothing you can do about it.
I love your feet and there’s nothing you can do about it.
Let’s take this up a notch.
I want to take your feet and there is little you can do about it

I hope she already got the gig when they were filming
Perhaps she didn’t just want a job, perhaps she wanted a pension, like Uma

Speaking of feet, in my last movie, there was this new assistant director who was only there for a day and we spent that whole day shooting the “heels touch the ground” scene. Of course, we used the footage for the movie, but it’s so weird that nobody seem to know who he is, and he never showed up on set again.
But now that I think about it, he DOES kind of look like Tarantino…
Stellar work btw! You really made me believe that your heels actually WERE touching the ground!
Esteemed Academy Award nominated character actress Margot Elise Robbie is pretty good at acting.
Now if only she can win an Oscar instead of you know, Wikifeet. (Ew. Ew. Ew. Ew. Ew.)
Tarantino will just make some of the best movies you ever watched just to film someone’s feet or say the nword.
His movies are fantastic, so I support giving him as long a leash as he wants.
He’s probably also into that.
It depends, are you a slim, blonde woman with a slightly socially dominating personality?
Gee, I wonder, who could this description be referring to? 🤔
yeah they are a blast to watch
It was distracting how many feet shots there were in Once Upon a Time in Hollywood
UNDERAGE FEET SHOTS
“You can’t rape feet!”
Not with that attitude
Dan Schneider has entered the chat
whos underage foot was in that movie?
I don’t know if the actress is underage, but she’s supposed to be “jail bait” in the movie.
Sigh. Don’t remind me…
Bet it took a few takes too lol
The commercial where the nerd kid made out with the supermodel took ~30 takes.
Kubrick level of retakes most likely
Feel like he’s no more problematic than he always has been. Watching all the Chappelles of the world aging poorly, Tarantino has said some surprisingly progressive shit in my minimal biased experience
I might just be in denial, but I’ve always felt like Tarantino’s problematicity was overblown
In a world of literal rapists, it’s easier to give him a pass.
People are concerned or outraged again in the name of someone else. In this case Salma Hayek. Usually using that she tells the story of how uncomfortable she felt, leaving out the fact that she felt uncomfortable because of the snake. Not this.
He loves to go on about the differences between directors and writer-directors.
Seems pretty obvious from here, Mr. Tarantino
I respect a bit of audacity
I mean do you blame the guy? It’s Salma Hayek. It’s not what I would have wrote. But it’s what he wrote.
I mean do you blame the guy?
Yes.
You’re right
creepy mfer
There was actually a typo, the script said “raising a toast with tequila”
Well done
I … I don’t get it. Is it Toes instead of toast? I read this sentence and know it’s funny, but I cannot for the life of me decipher why.
Your comment is honestly funnier than the one you’re replying to
I mean I’d write a scene where my character was sat on by a black bbw if it were my movie.
I hate Tarantino’s movies (Resevoir Dogs and Dusk Til Dawn being the exceptions) but I respect this level of being unashamed
To be pedantic, Dusk till Dawn isn’t one of Tarantino’s movies. It’s one of Rodriguez’s movie staring and written by Tarantino.
I mean I’d watch Spy Kids again before I watched Pulp Fiction again.
Well, pulp fiction is a really good movie, but the spy kids movies are some of the greatest works of art ever produced, so of course you’d pick that
Hmm, yes. Spy Kids, known for its avant-garde script and concept. With thought provoking and philosophical quotes, such as “Do you think God stays in heaven because he, too, lives in fear of what he’s created here on earth?”. Frankly, I don’t think humanity was prepared for such work of art. No wonder you would want to rewatch it over Pulp Fiction. After watching such marvelous journey that the characters went throughout this series of films. It ruins the experience of any other piece of art, since they can never replicate the experience of viewing Spy Kids.
Wait, was that Tarantino? TIL
Sure was!
Well. Hats off to him, he didn’t just go for his dreams, he went for his fantasy… And got it
Hats off to him
Also shoes
If he pays me like Salma Hayek - or even a fraction, I’m not picky- sure, shoes off too!
New fetish discovered
I feel obligated to drop this manifesto here:
Thank you!! This addresses so much of the misgivings I have with most “safe” and “acceptable” storytelling and finally I have the words to express it.
