Tarantino isn't intrusive...You make me blush! <br /><br />Tarantino isn't intrusively all over <em>Not Quite Hollywood</em>, and credit where it's due: He's a fan at heart and he saw a hell of a lot of aussie exploitation in his day.<br /><br />That said, one of the Australian exploitation pics that made the biggest impression on me isn't mentioned (unless I missed it in the non-stop barrage of titles, which is possible): 1988's <em>Vicious!</em>. <br /><br />I was reminded of it by <em>The Collector</em>, because it's a classic home invasion picture. But what I didn't realize at the time, because his name couldn't have meant anything to me back then, was that co-screenwriter P.J. Hogan was soon to be famous as the writer and director of <em>Muriel's Wedding</em>, which also put Toni Collette on the international map.miss flickchickhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16494437096298634254noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5264186707416192943.post-26705112009553648252009-08-05T14:57:46.057-07:002009-08-05T14:57:46.057-07:00Not Quite Hollywood sounds great. But a little dig...<b>Not Quite Hollywood</b> sounds great. But a little digging shows Quentin Tarantino in the lineup of interviewees. <i>Please</i> tell me he has limited screen time. He may be a wealth of knowledge, but there's only so much of his coke-addled mannerisms that I can take in one sitting.<br /><br />Plus, does he have to be involved in so many film retrospectives? He's taking up valuable screen time that could given over to our beloved Maitland!achyfakeyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15989627337802646906noreply@blogger.com
