Quentin Tarantino is no stranger to violence on screen. This is a filmmaker who loves to be pretty shocking when it comes to the gore associated with death, and it’s a staple of his work dating back to his first feature, “Reservoir Dogs.” And apparently, his depiction of violence on screen was enough to force Cannes to introduce a new warning label for some films.

If you’ve been following film news over the past couple of weeks, you know that Quentin Tarantino has been making the podcasting rounds. And over that time, the filmmaker has been making headlines by trashing Bruce Lee (and his wife), teasing an expansive “Once Upon a Time in Hollywood” empire, and talking about various other projects that he’ll never get around to making.

If you’re following the new Quentin Tarantino press blitz for the “Once Upon A Time In Hollywood” novelization, and you’re listening to all the various long podcasts he’s been on, outlining his future, you know the filmmaker’s schedule and timetable look a little something like this (aside from parenting, he’s a new father): promoting his current book (‘OUATIH’), finishing his criticism film book (part of the two-part book deal he made with Harper Perennial Publishing), and then directing and/or putting on a stage play that he wrote.

Quentin Tarantino‘s longtime mantra as a filmmaker has been exiting on a high note. He plans to retire from making movies with a tenth movie and leaving with an arguably unimpeachable body of work as a legacy. However, it’s been unclear what that project could be despite some recent teases he was pondering returning to a long-gestating “Kill Bill 3” with Uma Thurman reprising the role of Beatrix Kiddo aka, The Bride.

Quentin Tarantino is an idea guy, at his core. The filmmaker has only a relatively small number of feature films under his belt over the course of the past three decades, but he has enough ideas for projects that could film 20 more movies. And one of those ideas that have been discussed previously but never made is the film that would unite Vic and Vincent Vega (Michael Madsen and John Travolta, respectively) in a “Reservoir Dogs”/“Pulp Fiction” spin-off.

Quentin Tarantino hates “True Romance.” It’s one of those misheard and misunderstood bits of trivia that sticks in your head when you’re young. The truth is, the relationship between director Tony Scott and Tarantino was more collaborative and rewarding than trivia questions would have you believe. From the news that Scott initially offered to step back and let Tarantino direct “True Romance,” to Tarantino’s begrudging admiration of the film’s happy ending, there’s a lot worth exploring in the one collaboration between the two auteurs.

In retrospect, it’s hard to imagine any time that filmmaker Quentin Tarantino questioned whether or not he’d have a career in Hollywood. However, even after making his feature directing debut with “Reservoir Dogs,” Tarantino didn’t know if there would be a second film, which led him to fully embrace the release of his debut, as detailed in a new interview with Little White Lies.

When talking about one of the standout scenes in “Once Upon a Time in Hollywood,” where Margot Robbie, as Sharon Tate, sits in a theater during the day and watches her film on the big screen, Tarantino talked about his first time watching one of his films in a theater.

Filmmaker Quentin Tarantino loves to talk about films, his own work, and just about everything else to do with the industry. And over the years, his love of talking has led to pontificating about possible sequels and prequels to some of his greatest works.

Welcome to #FlashbackFriday, where we look at past moments with filmmakers, actors, etc. and highlight something in cinema history that’s fascinating, amusing, perhaps something you never knew or have seen, you name it.

For our latest #FlashbackFriday, we wanted to take a trip back to the early-‘90s. It was a much simpler time, for sure. But it was also a time when a fresh-faced, but eager, Quentin Tarantino went to the Sundance Institute to workshop a script he was working on, titled “Reservoir Dogs.”

Almost inseparable from the inception of cinema, the heist genre has enraptured audiences for generations, as it offers an escapist appeal to the anti-hero and the outlaw.

Edgar Wright‘s newly released “Baby Driver” offers an homage to the rich history of heist-induced exhilaration (our review).

The 25th anniversary screening of Quentin Tarantino’s debut film “Reservoir Dogs” at Tribeca Film Festival last night went off like a rock concert, with Tarantino greeted by the raucous crowd like a bonafide rockstar.

Continuing our year-by-year series of the Best Films of the 1990s (here’s 1990, and 1991), we come to 1992. This was the year in which the Maastricht Treaty was signed, bringing the currently Brexit-hounded European Union into being; and in the U.S., a billionaire businessman running for president lost to a Clinton. But lest that makes you look back on the year with nostalgia from your jaded 2017 viewpoint, don’t forget it was also the year of the Rodney King riots.

One of the most eagerly anticipated movies of the year arrives this week with “Suicide Squad,” David Ayer’s snarky little brother to “Batman v Superman: Dawn Of Justice,” which hopes to rescue the DC Movie Universe after the disastrously-received Zack Snyder superhero flick earlier in the year.
