I added the World War II Film section, which will contain all the news about Quentin's upcoming WWII film.

1/25/00
Over at Variety.Com there's an article, It's Scary up There, pointing out the delay in films from recent acclaimed filmmakers. It focuses mainly on Cameron, Speilberg, and Tarantino. Can't say the guy's wrong (well, except in Cameron's case. The guy always takes a while to get stuff out....). Thanks to Corey3rd for pointing it out on alt.fan.tarantino.

1/24/00
I added 13 pictures to the Pictures section.

1/22/00
Put up the Pictures section. There's 35 pics in there right now. Expect more soon.

1/21/00
I got The Characters up in the Pulp Fiction section. Right now Jules and Vincent are the only ones up. Expect more tomorrow.

This appeared on Cinescape Online yesterday:

The Hollywood Reporter claims that writer/director Quentin Tarantino (Reservoir Dogs, True Romance, Pulp Fiction, Natural Born Killers) has a major role in the upcoming Little Nicky, which stars Adam Sandler. The story tells the tale of a son of Satan who comes to Earth seeking his estranged brother. Tarantino is said to appear in the film several times, playing the part of the blind street preacher who senses the presence of evil whenever Sandler passes near him.

I checked The Internet Movie Database, and sure enough, he's listed under the cast, as well Harvey Keitel as Satan (also, not that anyone would care, but the site has FINALLY been put up under the Miscellaneous Links section).

I also watched From Dusk till Dawn 3: The Hangman's Daughter today, and, I've gotta say, it was MUCH better than Texas Blood Money. Not nearly as good as the original, but still pretty cool.

And finally, I added the real logo to the Pulp Fiction page, as well as the Buy It link. I'll try and have some of the characters up tomorrow.

1/18/00
Well, arriving on schedule was From Dusk till Dawn 3: The Hangman's Daughter. Came out today, expect a review of it tomorrow.

1/17/00
Just a quick note about two Tarantino-related releases: Quentin Tarantino: The Film Geek Files is, according to Amazon, being released January 25th, and From Dusk Till Dawn 3: The Hangman's Daughter is being released tomorrow. Let's hope the rumors are true, and that it's better than the absolutely horrible FDTD2. Also added the Webrings page.

I just found a MIDI of "Little Green Bag" today, so I added that to the Reservoir Dogs section and put "Misirlou" on the Pulp Fiction page. Also, I added the script to the Pulp Fiction section.

12/30/99
Added The Cast to the Pulp Fiction page and updated it on the Reservoir Dogs page.

12/22/99
The main Pulp Fiction page is up.

Well, here's news from Ain't It Cool News which could regard Tarantino's new WWII film. I, for one, really hope it isn't true:

The following came in from AB KING... AICN and internet pulse reader of the careers of Arnold... and Stallone. He sent in this bit which is from an interview with Arnold in England. And... frankly I have a comment on this scoop. If you notice this scoop says that Arnold is waiting on a script to be finished for a Dirty Dozen type of movie that both he and Stallone would do for basically free, if he loves the script when it's done. If this report from AB KING can be trusted, and I see no reason why not, then it is my belief (speculation, gut instinct) that this project would be the Tarantino WWII movie that he's writing. I've heard from people that Tarantino has described this film that he's writing on as being his DIRTY DOZEN type of thing... his GUNS OF NAVARONE.... his men on a mission movie.

12/13/99
More news on Tarantino's next film, this time officially from Lawrence Bender himself! From Cinescape Online:

Producer Lawrence Bender is going public with word on Quentin Tarantino’s next potential film project. Confirming recent rumors on AICN, Bender revealed, "Quentin has just finished an incredible screenplay for a Second World War movie. We're planning to shoot it next year." Bender also revealed that there has been at least one big problem with Tarantino’s hopes of bringing the British comic strip character Modesty Blaise to the big screen. Bender says, "We just can't get a screenplay we like. When we do, it should be no problem casting it. Actresses will come out of the woodwork to play Modesty."

Also, I added the Message Board and the Chat Room today.

12/5/99
Got the entire Reservoir Dogs section up.

12/3/99
Very, very exciting news! It seems Tarantino's next project isn't 40 Lashes after all. This from Ain't It Cool News:

Quentin Tarantino was in Dayton, Ohio (at the Neon Movies where my girlfriend is an assistant manager/projectionist) though the holiday weekend to check out Cinerama--in fact, people were there from all over the U.S. and some folks from Germany and Ireland. If you don't know much (or anything) about Cinerama, I'll provide a link where you can find more information. I'd be extremely grateful if you could plug Cinerama on the site. Right now, Dayton's Neon Movies is the only theater in the country currently showing Cinerama flicks. The technician/projectionist, John Harvey, used to run his Cinerama rig in his house, before moving it to the Neon. He's currently assisting in getting a Cinerama venue set up in Seattle, and also helped get one running in England. He does all this for free. Anyway there have been a lot of rumors about Quentin's next film--a western, another Elmore Leonard adaptation, WWII. The manager of the Neon (Mike), one of the owners, and John Harvey had dinner with Quentin Friday evening (wish I could have been there) and he mentioned his current project. I talked with Mike when they got back from dinner and he said that Quentin is in fact doing a World War II film. His own Dirty Dozen, Mike said. I asked Quentin after the Sunday Cinerama show when we were going to see this new film and he said probably in 2001. He's half-finished with writing the script of his "epic." So that's it, pretty much from the horse's mouth.
