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.

[–] [email protected] 89 points 1 year ago (1 children)

That is a dirty and farfetched fantasy right there.

[–] Gradually_Adjusting 31 points 1 year ago (3 children)

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.

Do the actors need to be emotionally stable and have any experience with real tabletop RPG or can I sign up?

[–] Gradually_Adjusting 11 points 1 year ago (1 children)

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.

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.

[–] [email protected] 45 points 1 year ago (3 children)

He already loves your feet and there's nothing you can do about it.

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...

[–] Viking_Hippie 26 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Stellar work btw! You really made me believe that your heels actually WERE touching the ground!

[–] [email protected] 23 points 1 year ago

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.)

[–] [email protected] 74 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Tarantino will just make some of the best movies you ever watched just to film someone's feet or say the nword.

[–] [email protected] 34 points 1 year ago (2 children)

His movies are fantastic, so I support giving him as long a leash as he wants.

[–] CitizenKong 33 points 1 year ago (2 children)

He's probably also into that.

It was distracting how many feet shots there were in Once Upon a Time in Hollywood

Bet it took a few takes too lol

[–] [email protected] 27 points 1 year ago

The commercial where the nerd kid made out with the supermodel took ~30 takes.

[–] [email protected] 17 points 1 year ago

Kubrick level of retakes most likely

[–] blazeknave 36 points 1 year ago (2 children)

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

[–] [email protected] 32 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I might just be in denial, but I've always felt like Tarantino's problematicity was overblown

[–] [email protected] 17 points 1 year ago

In a world of literal rapists, it's easier to give him a pass.

He loves to go on about the differences between directors and writer-directors.

Seems pretty obvious from here, Mr. Tarantino

[–] [email protected] 30 points 1 year ago (2 children)

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.

[–] [email protected] 17 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I mean do you blame the guy?

Yes.

I respect a bit of audacity

There was actually a typo, the script said "raising a toast with tequila"

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

[–] w2tpmf 12 points 1 year ago (3 children)

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.

New fetish discovered

Wait, was that Tarantino? TIL

[–] [email protected] 11 points 1 year ago (1 children)
[–] [email protected] 23 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Well. Hats off to him, he didn't just go for his dreams, he went for his fantasy... And got it

[–] [email protected] 31 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Hats off to him

Also shoes

[–] [email protected] 11 points 1 year ago

If he pays me like Salma Hayek - or even a fraction, I'm not picky- sure, shoes off too!

[–] snekerpimp 9 points 1 year ago (3 children)

Wouldn’t Kurtzman and Rodriguez have had more influence in this scene than Tarantino?
