Obama unchained: Quentin Tarantino says the president’s ‘doesn’t-give-a-sh

The author-director additionally teased his upcoming Western thriller, “The Hateful Eight”.

To hear Tarantino praise indie mavens Mark and Jay Duplass, insult the Wachowskis and their sequel Matrix Reloaded, respect Marvel comic book movies, and imagine what ’90s horror movie he would have liked to direct, read New York magazine’s full interview.

In a wide-ranging interview with Vulture, Tarantino addressed his aversion to becoming a franchise director for hire, but revealed that he was interested in putting his own stamp on Kevin Williamson’s Scream script in the ’90s. He is my favourite president, arms down, of my lifetime.

“He’s been awesome this past year”, Tarantino said when asked about Obama, who he supported in the past elections. Especially the rapid, one-after-another-after-another-after-another aspect of it. It’s nearly like take no prisoners. If the master of “Candyland”, the fourth largest and most vile plantation in Mississippi, was considered sadistic, his righthand man was just as bad. And then I wouldn’t be able to do it, because everyone would talk about it, because it is one thing in particular.

In response to the straightforward, “What kind of TV do you watch?” question, Tarantino answered, “The last two shows that I watched all the way were Justified and How I Met Your Mother”.

I didn’t see anything this year.

“That was my time”. And he couldn’t be more thrilled about how the president is closing out his second term. The film concerns bounty hunters trying to find shelter during a blizzard and what the director calls “the racial aftermath [of the Civil War], six, seven, eight, ten years later”. So, the recent events in Baltimore and Ferguson, Missouri are reflected in the film.

It was already in the footage we shot. And he admits he just wasn’t all that into such well-regarded films as The Town, The Kids Are All Right, and An Education.

“Jennifer Jason Leigh came in and was really good”, Tarantino said. But we always pull it off. And this way you don’t have that situation where you finish the movie and then the people who paid to make it get to sit around and pick it to death. “It is timely”, Tarantino said. I think people watched Django and Inglourious Basterds and thought they were really out there, but they got it. They felt themselves on solid ground. I was actually okay with the ambiguity of “It’s” true nature, and I think there is some danger in picking a movie apart too much. “I’m hopeful that that’s happening now”, he added.

He dismisses True Detective – Season 1, even! – to explain how he watched every episode of the much-derided The Newsroom three times. And season two appears bad.

‘Just the trailer – all these handsome actors trying to not be handsome and walking around looking like the weight of the world is on their shoulders. “It is so critical, they usually’re so tortured, making an attempt to look depressing with their mustaches and grungy garments”.
