“I asked Quentin the same question,” Yeoh said. “He’s very smart. He said, ‘Who would believe that Uma Thurman could kick your ass?'”

LMAO, he never lied about that!

I must say, Quentin has a lot of faults but he is intensely loyal to his friends. In an occupation where people fall out with each other a lot it's very refreshing.

[evett]

When he dated Mira Sorvino she told him about Weinstein and he did fuck all and continue to work for him. That anthropomorphic dick cheese isn't loyal when it's an inconvenience to his career.

[barbychanftw]

He was for sure loyal to Polanski when he defended him.

[arellaj]

Idk if he's that intensely loyal considering how he treated Uma...

[fernandocolunga]

Tarantino and Yeoh are long-time friends.

MICHELLE?

As someone who doesn't get the appeal of the Kill Bill films and thinks that they're genuinely not very good, I'm glad she isn't in it (:

Her and Tarantino being friends is new to me, tho? At least, I've never heard of anything like that before, and they haven't worked together. Maybe more like superficial industry "friends"?

[anterrabre]

He went to see the good sis when she was in the hospital. That suggests that it's a lot more than just superficial.

[blazingeternity]

idk I don't find it that weird for industry people to pay a respect visit to acquaintances in the hospital when they happen to be in the city anyway, tbh. Especially in such a small place, where it wasn't that common to have Hollywood stars present. But I'm not making up excuses, might well be that they're actual friends, I've just never heard of it before or seen anything that suggested it. Fingers crossed she never works with him then, for multiple reasons.

Right. She has garnered all well deserved success and recognition in her own name that she is considered A+ list (and ought be by now!). It has been a long time coming so far now, legacy wise. Why spoil it by potentially working with him in the future? He’s way past his ~prime now. Like, he is far beneath her, reputation and filmography wise etc. It’d be unforgivable and unacceptable that if he ever ruins everything for her and disrespect her like that. I hope the good sis better wise up on this matter and work smart career wise long term. I just know she knows better

[corruptionoflol]

i get the reasoning but also i didn't think uma thurman in the movie would have beat anyone in kill bill in a fight

[blorpz]

ikr? i thought that was part of the fun of the movie

[barbychanftw]

I would kick Tarantino's ass.

[chapter013]

Came in to say the exact same thing.

Tho there's the line reaching to the moon of cis men's asses I'd kick.

[barbychanftw]

Same. Tarantino, Polanski, Depp, Pitt, Trump, Pence, Woody Allen (this one would be pretty easy), Shia LaBeouf, James Franco, Kevin Spacey. The list goes on...

[ari_angelique]

You forgot Crisp Ratt!

(...actually I don't know that I'd necessarily want to beat him up. I don't hate him, he just annoys me so I'd get pleasure in just making him cry maybe.)
