The reason theres a plaster on Ving Rhames has a plaster on his neck is
to cover a nasty scar he's got in real life and when asked in an
interview what was in the breifcase Tarantino replyed "2 lightbulbs and a
car battery,"........sorry to spoil the theory (that yes! I had already
heard 500 times) but I thought the unimaginative truth should be told
NIN
Actually, it was Samuel L. Jackson who said that about the two lightbulbs and a battery.

Another thing about the scar(that has received so much attention in
here). I noticed that in Mission Impossible, the only scene that we
see the back of Ving Rhames head, he is wearing a big-ass turtleneck.
(It's the scene near the end where Tom Cruise and he are sitting at
the outdoor cafe)
The character in Pulp didn't strike me as a turtleneck kind 'a guy. I
guess that's why the band-aid instead.
Yeah, but what's so wrong about a tough gang boss having a scar on his neck?
Maybe someone grazed a bullet by there, so it is a badge of his toughess and
survivability, just like a tattoo, only better. I don't believe the "soul"
theory either, though, 'cause it just doesn't make sense to me, and besides
the FAQ doesn't support it. ;-]
~Chelsea~
Yes, but as I've said before, a big nasty scar on on a 20 foot tall
movie screen would not only be distracting, but gross...
I guess QT didn't want everyone to spend the whole movie going "What
the HELL is that thing on the back of that guy's NECK?"
He was a never on America On-Line. He probably hasn't even used a computer in his life. Show me a
transcript. AOL puts all of them up on their server.

(my Internet name, and like Mike Shields says, not many people know
I'm famous.)
What the hell is this, Chelsea?
QT has not been on AOL. Trust me, I'd know. He doesn't know how to type,
shit, he can barely write legibly. He is not *on* the internet, and he has
NOT been on AOL in the past, unless he happened to be with a friend who
logged on to show it to him. It is possible that his secretary may have
logged on for him, but he can't type.
To quote Jami Bernard:
"Sorry to burst your bubble, but QT -- though interested to know what
people are saying about him -- has the technical know-how of a gnat. He
doesn't own a computer. He doesn't even type his scripts -- he writes 'em
by hand."
-Jami Bernard
So be it. Now Chelsea, you should know better than going and slamming other,
more knowledgeable people on the newsgroup. As you said yourself "Just watch
what you say and don't
bullshit the people on the newsgroup".

I don't want to insult anyone's intellegance, especially not Quentin's,
but I did read an interview in which he admitted he couldn't type
properly, but he may have picked it up by now. I'm not taking any sides
here, I'm just saying what I think. And if he ever was on AOL, I'm gutted
shitless 'cos I missed it.

You may agree with him, but I doubt very much that any person reads the
letters posted about them on fan groups, including Tarantino. I know what
Kale is talking about. Kale did give back up information while you nor
Chelsea have, and don't be so sure he can use a computer, and don't be
postitive that he can type. Show me some proof. It was Craig Hamann who
typed out all of his scripts, and he wrote them all out by hand in little
notebooks. So, since I say he's not on the internet or a computer user
that makes me ignorant. You're the ignorant if you've never learned to
show respect.
Dave
some people actually do read posts about them. i know that tom clancy
checks on alt.fan.tom.clancy and periodically resolves disputes. i'm
not sure about qt though.

The problem is knowing which icons to click. Knowing how to navigate your way
around. Knowing how to find information. He says he can't type (your argument is
just plain idiotic), and he says that he can't use a computer. So why don't you
believe him. He's not god, so don't treat him as one.
Dave
What is your problem? You act like you are god! My arguement is not
idiotic. Anyone can type. All you do is look at the letter you want
to go on the screen and press it with one of your fingers. That is all!
As for the computer thing, how do you know that he didn't learn how to
use it? It doesn't take a genius to figure out how to use the internet,
and he is one, so there shouldn't be a problem now should there!?!?
Richard
Richard
My only question is...What does it matter? Who is this newsgroup
for? Well, the answer is obviously -- us, the fans. QT hasn't posted here
to the best of my knowledge and I'm a little curious as to why he would
start now, especially the way posting has gone down on this group in the
past year. People aren't really suggesting things to him and he isn't
really responding, so the interaction is nil. If you want to think that
he occasionally checks these newsgroups, then by all means do, but why
bother arguing.
Knowing that the man himself is watching wouldn't really make
much difference in my life.

I don't think that anyone is asking you to leave the group. (And if
they are, screw 'em. I don't want you to leave.) But you have to
understand that *you* are implying that *we* are liars (and you did
more than just imply it to Kale).
If you have actual evidence that Tarantino was on AOL, give it to us.
If it's just a hunch, say so. (Personally, I neither know nor care if
he ever was.)
Why can't you take anything at face value. Why do you have to dive into
what ifs? and why do you think that Tarantino is some kind of god who is
capable of doing anything???
He says that he can't type. That's that. He says that he's never even sat
in front of a computer. That's that. What's so hard to comprehend?
This newsgroup is definately gone to shit if we're arguing, not even
discussing, whether Tarantino can type.

: Dave, I really don't know why you and Jason seem to have such a hard time

: bullshit the people on the newsgroup, "Dave Fresko" (nym)
What the hell is this rant about? Christ, I spend a few days away and
this starts again? The closest you've ever provided for proof of this,
Chelsea, was some mumbling about 'intuition' telling you. Do you have
anything new about this? If not, I've spoke to enough people who know him
who tell me he's never been online, I tend to believe them over you.
Seriously, if you're so concerned he knows you exist, write him a letter
or something.
(I see there's a bunch more responses in this thread. Why do I have the
feeling it gets worse from here?)

Okay, Chelsea, it's no use lying to you anymore. I am Quentin Tarantino.
Yeah, like "Skander Halim" is a real name! Oh by the way, Kale Whorton, Jason
Forrest, David Fresko, and Marc Fleury are actually my friends Alex
Rockwell, Allison Anders, Robert Rodriguez, and Lawrence Bender. You're
right, I can type, and I can use a computer. In fact, I design software,
in between writing the Great American Novel and playing with my son, Jesus.

Well, I don't know about QT being on the internet or not but I know of at
least two associates of his (one real close) that have been right here on this
newsgroup. What's to say he wasn't looking over their shoulders? While I can
believe he might not own a computer or know how to work one, It's hard to
believe he would be able to resist the curiosity of finding some way to see
what was being said about him in a newsgroup devoted soley to him.
But doesn't look like anyone could really knows for sure, and we can all dream
right?
Hi Quentin

I agree, lets just drop it. Neither one of us is going to back down

Who are these two associates you speak of? One of them posts on alt.cult-movies
and Roger Avary posted here twice and used to be an avid poster on a.c-m.
