    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.

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

      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.

          Nah, I wanna do something more episodic. 90% self contained episodes with small tie ins between them that can be summarized quickly.

            I applaud that, actually. Serialisation is like gravity, nobody should applaud when the writer gives in to it.

            Just know that if your players aren’t onboard with that, it’ll be difficult to maintain.

    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

    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…

        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.)

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

    Dusk Till Dawn is amazing because for like an hour it’s just a kinda normal hostage/crime movie, then it’s very suddenly vampires

    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

      People are concerned or outraged again in the name of someone else. In this case Salma Hayek. Usually using that she tells the story of how uncomfortable she felt, leaving out the fact that she felt uncomfortable because of the snake. Not this.

    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.

      I … I don’t get it. Is it Toes instead of toast? I read this sentence and know it’s funny, but I cannot for the life of me decipher why.

    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

      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.

        I mean I’d watch Spy Kids again before I watched Pulp Fiction again.

          Well, pulp fiction is a really good movie, but the spy kids movies are some of the greatest works of art ever produced, so of course you’d pick that

          Hmm, yes. Spy Kids, known for its avant-garde script and concept. With thought provoking and philosophical quotes, such as “Do you think God stays in heaven because he, too, lives in fear of what he’s created here on earth?”. Frankly, I don’t think humanity was prepared for such work of art. No wonder you would want to rewatch it over Pulp Fiction. After watching such marvelous journey that the characters went throughout this series of films. It ruins the experience of any other piece of art, since they can never replicate the experience of viewing Spy Kids.
