Ibraheem Youssef has created some very cool looking minimalist posters for Tarantino's films.

Very cool stuff, and unlike most of the alternative poster designs I've ever seen, you can actually purchase these from Ibraheem's website.

Eric David has written a long essay on the role of vice in Quentin Tarantino's films. I think alot of the connections he tries to make - particularly the paragraph on the name Bill from Kill Bill - are a real stretch. Still an interesting article though.

This is just one of those weird Tarantino movie connections: Pam Grier's (Jackie Brown) brother had his artwork featured in Vernita Green's living room in Kill Bill V1.

Jackie Brown makes CHUD's list of The 100 Movies That Deserve More Love.

Aaah, yes. It’s the Tarantino movie that nobody likes. Apart from the people who say they like it best, just to look cool and contrary. The weird thing is, in many ways, Jackie Brown really is Tarantino’s best movie. Or at least his most interesting. Shorn of most of his trademarked pop culture riffing, displaced timeframes and pretty much violence-free, it’s no surprise that it failed to connect with an audience primed for Pulp Fiction 2: The Blaxploitation Years. Instead, you get a slow-burning movie about middle-aged people fumbling around the fringes of society. It’s a movie for grown-ups, stewed in funky 70s jerk seasoning, and still the most rich and mature movie to sprout from the QT Mental Archive.

The Defense: Forget it’s from Tarantino. Forget what you expect from him. And just enjoy a movie that’s as mesmerisingly languid as a cloud of bong smoke.

According to Christopher Kelly, most of the time between Jackie Brown and Kill Bill was spent working on the screenplay for Inglorious Bastards. While that's true, what Kelly doesn't mention is that the whole schedule for Kill Bill and Inglorious Bastards got pushed back because of Uma Thurman's pregnancy. Kelly is also 'worried' about just who wants to see a Tarantino movie these days:

There's also this question: Who, exactly, is his audience supposed to be this time around? The college kids Tarantino connected with in the early 1990s likely still consider themselves fans. But at this point, burned out long ago on all the Tarantino wannabes of the late '90s, they might prefer to give their box-office dollars to the more playful and droll Coen Brothers (whose Intolerable Cruelty also opens Oct. 10). As for today's college kids -- will they have even seen Reservoir Dogs, much less care about its director's motor-mouthed, movie-obsessed aesthetic?

The IMDB link to this little tidbit will expire shortly, so I've just copied the info here for you:

Hollywood hero Quentin Tarantino is back - and he's as bloody as ever. The True Romance scribe has finally completed his long-awaited fourth feature film as a director, Kill Bill, which stars Uma Thurman and Lucy Liu, and in the tradition of Reservoir Dogs, Pulp Fiction and Jackie Brown, it will be a bloody affair - except this time Quentin's demanding extra-special fluids.

He says, "I'm really particular about the blood, so we're using a mixture depending on the scenes. I say, 'I don't want horror movie blood, alright? I want Samurai blood.' You can't pour this raspberry pancake syrup on a sword and have it look good. You have to have this special kind of blood that you only see in samurai movies."

In an interview with icCoventry, Samuel L. Jackson is asked to compare the style's of George Lucas (for whom Jackson worked on the new Star Wars movies) and Quentin Tarantino (for whom Jackson worked on Pulp Fiction and Jackie Brown):

Quentin could come in here and suck the air out of the room. George is very low key. Very laid back. He knows what he wants to do. He leaves the actors alone and lets us do what he wants to do. There was stuff falling down, saws going off. Everything that would make another director crazy. He was very calm - even when the storm came.

Here. I always find it interesting to look back on how films were initially marketed. The trailer itself is a 20mb download.

You can also check out the trailers for Pulp Fiction, Jackie Brown, Reservoir Dogs and From Dusk Till Dawn.
