Are you implying that Krishnan was on drugs?
other way round I think
I don't even know what it means, but it's Tarantino, so would probably look awesome.
KGM needs to have a watch of the recent THR's directors' roundtable, might give him a few pointers on how to get a great conversation going with QT.
Guru-Murthy pushed the same question a number of times about violence...why do you like making violent films...QT explained very lucidly about violence and the different types and then Guru-Murthy asked a really poor, tedious question about links between film and real violence hoping to get some sound bite and QT refused...it's old stuff it's poor and QT was there for to advertise the film...and Channel 4 were doing it to get people to watch...it's a mutual win-win.
Django Unchained addresses slavery etc that's really more important than some hackneyed Daily Mail question by Guru-Murthy who should have known better.
QT was answering with energy and giving very good clear answers and was full filling his part of the bargain on the interview...I really don;t like it when interviewers try and score points.
i.e.

The 'interviewer/questioner' asked 'what's it like being a Skype father?'
Really? I think you don;t need to look too deep into the killers history and mental state to see why those killings happened.
The subject of slavery is far more sensitive and is going on today around the world still he could have asked about it's relevance today but just went for the sensationalist question and it back-fired.He should have known QT will have been asked that question before and that it's really nothing new or special.
Charmed I'm sure. Even lazy old me has picked up on the fact that gun control is currently America's No.1 topic. One that even Quentin 'Chicks Who Love Guns ' Tarantino understandably would not wish to get drawn into at this time. [Edit: Btw the above first paragraph was the only part of your post that was up at time of replying].
Have you watched the interview? No-one mentions Sandy Hook. It is only alluded to after QT has reacted.
I thought QT was basically tired and emotional, and a bit on edge.
Yeah but QT has had this same statement put to him over and over again. Sandy hook is nothing new, USA has had a lot of shootings in schools and each time they drag out the same old scapegoats. Kill Bill interview he had the whole "V Tech" shooting questions asked, and I am sure he has been linked to lots of shootings.
Sandy Hook caused teh Mass Effect (a computer game) facebook page SPAMMED with hate mail about the game causing the shootings. Its a space shooting game with aliens and spaceships and weird looking things.
Same with in the 80s and heavy metal was on trail for many stupid reasons.
Although I do agree America and its gun issue is MUCH deeper than the movies it makes and enjoys. Its sexual the love they have for guns over there. its VERY strange for a non-American to witness (I honestly felt quite unnerved when I was shown a high powered assault rifle in someones living room)
Um...I never said it did, Becky Sharpe did and in my original post to her post I wrote 'non sequiter'.
QT was probably a bit tired but he was giving the interview his full concentration and when you get a dumb question then you'll sometimes go back at it.
I'm not exactly how you could come to the conclusion that I mentioned Sandy Hook in any of my posts.
Tal'shiar's reply is perfect.
There's a time and a place and it's not in the middle of those dreary film PR things when the interviewee has probably done twenty interviews that day alone.
CH4 News obviously saw it as a PR opportunity... for CH4 News.
Call me picky but when a director is being interviewed anout a film he's currently promoting, what I want to hear is the director talking about the movie, and the interviewer giving him the opportunty to do just that, not self-indulgently point-score so lazily and tediously as KGM did. QT and the cast (Jamie Foxx and Sam L Jackson in particular) have done some excellent interviews and discussions re DJango and its subject matter, and if KGM is incapable of providing that platform, then he should leave it to those who can and who actually have an interest in the movie.
No you didn't. My apologies.
I'm not exactly sure how I came to that conclusion either, save it's Friday and the Chardonnay is a-flowing.
Maybe I'm tired and emotional and a bit on edge.
Tarantino really behaves like an ass in this interview. He also states he is there to plug his movie.
Much respect to Krishnan for giving him some tough questions.
Krishnan is a terrific journalist, as are most of the C4 news brigade. His questions were interesting and relevant and far better than the fawning nonsense you would get from some other journalists. I remember Suzanne from breakfast TV interviewing the SATC cast. She may as well have cleaned their shoes with her tongue.
This.
