QUENTIN TARANTINO AND HIS KINKY SEXUAL FETISHES
Incidentally, I wonder what this still from “Go Go Tales” by Abel Ferrara says about his psyche…
The full clip is available online; I saw this at the cinema, and it just struck me as one-upping the scene with the woman and the canine in “The Real Blonde”. No big deal in my opinion. After all, it’s not like Asia Argento ate a DOG TURD, right?
Why, thank you for your endorsement, Kyle!
Now all I have to do is overthrow the Queen and make Australia a republic, and…
Actually, I have enough trouble getting elected for local council. My city is so vanilla.
“So when Michael Haneke makes a film about incest, sadomasochism, pornography and has his lead actress draw a used tissue from the bin in a porno booth, he’s an artist.”
Ummmm… yeah!
Haha, Fandorin…
Fandorin, cutting a clip of a real pornographic film into your movie and having a catatonic middle aged women inhale a tissue she’s pulled from the bin doesn’t make you an artist, it makes you “desperate” for a “shocking” moment. That doesn’t exite me, it doesn’t shock me, it just makes me wanna twirl my finger in the air all hom-hum like.
Things like this are pornography for repressed wankers who don’t have the guts to walk into a real porno cinema or share these kinks with another real human being, so they head for the arthouse instead and “project” onto a character with all these kinky fetishes in a “respectable” arthouse film.
Film Buff #1: What did you see?
Film Buff #2: “The Piano Teacher”. What about yourself?
Film Buff #1: I saw Q.T.’s latest film.
Film Buff #2: Oh, I can’t stand him, he’s SUCH a pervert! He is ALWAYS projecting his dirty kinks into his films!
…Irony?
Jarrod, don’t laugh at his non-humour. I find it funnier you are grossed out by something as benign as women’s feet.
And the point stands, Jarrod: this thread should be about Catherine Breillat and others moreso that Q.T.
No, no irony, because you just made that up ; )
So by that rationale Taxi Driver is for people who don’t have the guts to shoot some pimps?
The Piano Teacher is a character study. There is nothing pretentious or wannabe-shocking about it, it just shows you a person. You can judge this person however you like. Haneke has clearly made more shocking films and if you are that upset about himI shudder to think what character traits you might “discover” in Noé…
And unlike some other esteemed members of this site, Mark, I was not trying to be funny ; )
Marl your misunderstand the entire point of this thread…i don’t in anyway find women’s feet to be gross, i just find the fact that Tarantino displays what he finds to be arousing for no other reason than the fact that he is aroused by it. Example, Jackie Brown, he had bridget Fonda in a bathing suit but focused entirely on her feet.
I find feet pretty gross, but that’s just me. I’m also afraid of roller coasters.
Fandorin: it’s a hypothetical Q and A argument based upon the attitudes expressed by yourself and others like you.
There really are people out there, F.S., who will defend Haneke and bash Tarantino for the same reasons they like Haneke. And vice versa. It takes diff’rent strokes to move the world. F.S.
But if you want to pretend a similar conversation could never or hasn’t taken place, knock yourself out.
F.S. said:
“So by that rationale Taxi Driver is for people who don’t have the guts to shoot some pimps?”
F.S., now you’re talking B.S. and being totally ignorant.
The world is FULL of people who use movies as a catharsis. I’m not saying films MAKE people go out and shoot folks, ‘cause if they wanna do that, they’ll do it, movie or no movie. However, a film CAN be a catharsis for some people.
I have a friend (who shall remain nameless) who gets VERY worked up at these sorts of films (and yes I do worry about him a little). he even yelled out, at the end of “Dirty Harry”, and I quote:
“DIE, YOU RAPIST BASTARD!”
In a crowded cinema full of about 400 people, F.S. After some films the guy will be shaking and almost weeping. And he knows martial arts too, so if someone upset him, he wouldn’t screw around.
Beside that though, he’s a lovely guy.
F.S., I’ve met plenty of seemingly normal people who see these sorts of films and say “I wish I had the guts to kill those scumbags”.
You think people who watch violent movies for catharsis don’t exists? Guess again. Not every person, but a lot do…even ones who would never go around shooting pimps, it’s still possibly cathartic for them.
And believe me, for SOME people, if they could, they would. That’s the thin line that separates people from thinking and doing, F.S. Obviously you have no idea how a disturbed mind works, which is why you buy into the “reality” of Michael Haneke (insert wink here).
But I guess you never heard of Wade Frankum or others of his type, F.S., so you are welcome to live in your fantasy world.
Something else to ponder:
What’s the bigger difference?
a) Watching a porno film or watching “The Piano Teacher”?
b) committing murder or watching “Taxi Driver”?
Less difference between the two in example A. People get much closer to living out their fantasies with “The Piano Teacher”. People don’t even come close with “Taxi Driver”, but it can be cathartic. You’d be surprised.
EVERYBODY defends “Piano” as a character study. That’s a pretentious wank right there.
Never said I was shocked by him, F.S. Learn how to read. I find Haneke’s “Piano” superficial and ho-hum. He’s a try-hard shock artist and that’s boring and laughable. What I am saying though, is if people find Q.T. shocking, so too, should they find Haneke disturbing.
And I’m not the one who finds women’s feet disgusting, F.S. I thought that was the topic. So if you’re going to have a laugh, maybe aim it at people who are too insecure to accept a normal human body.
I don’t have that problem.
I thought you guys would get a kick out of this. It’s Tarantino on the Tyra Banks show touching women’s feet and “rating” them.

“yeah but being into girls butts is ok…but a foot, choking, and pee fetish? I love Tarantinos flicks but the dude just seems like one nasty mofo…”
Okay, so you said it yourself…
Gut, jah? (Welcome to the thread, Katja Kassin…Fandorin-San, if you were any kind of patriot, you would’ve beaten me to it)
Maybe this is why so many men fail to impress women: they’re all about tits and arse. I guarantee you if you kiss a woman’s soles it’ll excite the hell out of her…unless she’s a boring stale prude who has no feeling in her body from her toenail to her scalp.
And take a quick look at your hands and feet: fingernails get dirtier more quickly and easier than your toenails!
Also, think about the millions of germs inside a woman’s mouth…hmmm?
Ever see “Belle Du Jour”? Oh, sorry, LUIS BUNUEL gets a free pass, because he’s artsy, you know…he has Catherine Deneuve tied up, flogged and soiled with mud. He even has an inexplicably high number of shots depicting WOMEN’S FEET walking around shown in the film (a fact noted even by the biggest fans of this film and his work in general).
And I’ve got enough steel in my balls to defend something nobody else has defended in particular: golden showers. You folks probably don’t know, maybe don’t WANT to know, but a woman ejaculates (and can do so forcefully, if she’s talented enough) vaginal fluid from her urethra, the same small orifice through which she urinates. So when you’re going down on a lass, all that fluid is coming from you-know-where. And if she happens to relieve her bladder while you’re down there, don’t fret, that means she REALLY likes you.
I think you all need to stop dating uptight girls, really.
