    Quentin Tarantino is in Austin this week for the film festival he holds every year, and since the company I work for is one of the sponsors of the event, we all got to have lunch with him Tuesday.

    I sat like 8-10 feet away from him and just watched the guy -- he is all over the place. I mean he's a <I>freak</I>. A ball of energy and just nonstop talking. A total extension of his movies too -- I couldn't make out everything he was saying at times (pretty loud), but there was talk of lesbians, sex, white people, black people, transvestites, movies... but he had people laughing around him so don't know if it was offensive or what.

    A nice guy though in person. Fanatical about movies.

    There were like 5-6 rules that were sent out to all of us beforehand... three that I remember were 1) Don't ask him about what projects he's currently working on, 2) Don't tell him about your "personal experiences" while watching his movies and 3) Don't ask about Mira Sorvino (guess they dated at some point).

    I've seen Pulp Fiction and Reservoir Dogs, but my favorite Tarantino bit is his role as the blind reverend in Adam Sandler's "Little Nicky"...

    Anyhow, there was a rumor Mike Judge (Beavis & Butthead, King of the Hill, Office Space) was going to be there also and that seemed more exciting to me.... he wasn't there though.

    Oh man, I'm completely jealous. Reservoir Dogs was an all-time classic, as was Pulp Fiction. If you're talking acting roles, he also was good in From Dusk Til Dawn. Plus, the whole story of how he got started in the movie business is interesting.

    So did you take pictures of the occassion? Otherwise you're going to have to draw us stick figures again. :D

    Clutch,
    Maybe one of the other rules was don't ask "How come he look so damn pale?!"

    A lot of people used to meet Quentin when he worked a video store in Manhattan Beach Ca. :) He and Sorvino lived in a beach house in Hermosa Beach when we lived there. I never heard when they separated.

    In the spirit of QT's "rules," I would like to propose a few rules of my own...

    1. NEVER refer to me as "jerk", "ass" or even "Jeff". Please refer to me as "oh, holy one," "exalted ruler" or simlpy "the greatest."

    2. NEVER ask me, "Hey, what's that ugly ass thing on your neck?" when you know the answer is, "my head."

    3. DO NOT place your hands or fingers within 1 foot of my food or mouth when I am eating or you could WILL lose them.

    4. Expect to be ridiculed until you turn into nothing more than a wobbling heap of jell-o if you criticize anything I say on the following subjects:

    - religion
    - science
    - music
    - napster
    - basketball
    - animals
    - everything else that exists in the universe
    - chow-dah
    - jell-o

    5. Love me unconditionally or not at all.

    Thank you - "The Greatest" :)

    Resevoir dogs was a'ight once you got past
    the fact that every other word was N*gg* this N*gg* b*tch that
    I had to turn it off twice and come back to it
    Cause I was getting pissed.

    The storyline was fine. . . . I guess he was just showing the

    I think this guy is a genius. I LOVE Beavis and Butthead...although it is somewhat too intellectual for my taste...
