Quentin Tarantino is by far MY favorite director. He has inspired me to become a writer and to want to get involved in the film industry since I was a young girl, but there are things about him I just don’t get. Since Quentin has mastered exploiting grindhouse, blaxploitation, kung fu, spaghetti westerns, and film noir, he seems to feel confident in exploiting another subgenre….70’s PORN!
SlashFilm gives us this quote from Quentin he told the Daily Telegraph: “…
a cool sex movie that would take place in Stockholm, with a couple of Americans visiting a couple of Swedish friends… just going out drinking, having a good time, hooking up. If I actually do an erotic movie, I’m going to have to reveal what I find sexy, what turns me on… It’s got to be kind of kinky, because that’s what’s cinematic, that’s what’s fun. Everything else is just – shagging.”
Hmm…Is it just me or does this sound a lot like Hostel without the torture porn? Honestly, I’m not going to get shocked by this news just yet, because QT is known for having great ideas and rarely following through with them. ( Take his World War 2 epic, and supposed ‘Vega Brothers’ prequel for instance) I love the man…I really do. I just wish he would make something along the lines of ‘Jackie Brown’ again, instead of exploiting every cheesy 70’s genre out there. But, what are your thoughts? Would you be excited to see an erotic film with Quentin Tarantino’s name all over it?
